Raver, Promoter, Curator, Producer, DJ — a dedicated force within the techno music scene. As the mind behind Solid Dark, a brand devoted to techno-centered content and events, I strive to elevate the essence of the genre.

Drawing inspiration from hypnotic grooves, tribal rhythms, intricate modulated sequences, and deep, immersive atmospheres, my sound and the music I promote capture the raw, underground, groovy and captivating spirit of techno.

With over a decade of experience in the electronic music scene, my journey began at a local youth center, leading to my first club gigs in 2012. Since then, I’ve found my niche within the techno community, continuously pushing boundaries and serving the scene with passion and purpose.

Based in Bern, Switzerland, I’ve been fortunate to travel to iconic and influential places in the techno community, becoming a regular visitor to some of the most famous techno clubs and underground communities. 

Rather sooner started hosting techno events ranging from community raves to mid sized club nights and large venues, inviting international artists as guests, further contributing to the local and regional techno movement.
