With a hefty back catalog of releases and an ever-evolving style, Berlin mainstay Niko Schwind dives into his introspective side on the Amari EP, which boasts four original tracks including a collab with DJ, producer and vocalist Felix Raphael.

Opener Circles is a tangle of dreamy pads and wistful vocals, with gleaming synths and undulating drums complementing Felix Raphael’s pensive lyrical incantations.

A walk on the tribal side, Kala combines introspective melodies with relentless percussion. Indigenous chants accent the mystic rave atmosphere, building up to an immersive, hypnotizing climax. Equally mesmerizing, but channeling a more constant energy is Amari, taking us on a dynamic journey with occasional bursts of sonic color. Zugvögel is a laidback track that builds slowly, adding subtle layers of cosmic melody with psychedelic vocals and a deep, mind-bending bassline, rounding off the release in a contemplative fashion.

After his disco project as D1rty Kickz where he toured and played 80's tech house & live talk box all over the world and after his more recent melodic techno theatrics, Veytik’s new deep chapter ranges from the dark overtones into more playful undertones mixed with uplifting dualities. Crafting a place of obscurity, acceptance, and illumination. More than ever, the artist is ready to reach out, break barriers, and build bridges from all the facets of who we truly are—our whole self.

His project and main mission statement of acculturation through music to help break barriers through music

As with the moon and its far side, to deny our darkness would be to deny that which makes us whole. Veytik—a veteran combat engineer turned audio engineer, producer, and DJ—embraces this duality through his music. His ever-evolving sound adjusts its focus across a spectrum of moods that both shape and are shaped by his very essence.

As a producer for over 10 years, the Art Vibes label boss has multiplied projects and relentlessly ran in the melodic techno, downtempo, organic, progressive house circuits, connecting with others on the path of music as therapy. 

Veytik’s style continuously evolves alongside his own growth and his response to world events. Featured on a variety of labels noted below —it wavers between eclectic influences, ‘80s, synth-infused cinematic, to the heyday of ecstatic trance music and current trends of melodic, organic, progressive house sounds. His fusion of keytar, piano, guitar & sound design is always handcrafted, every project made from an internal emotion and voice within. Veytik will never take a project on he doesn't connect with.

Music has always brought people together, that's one of the great things about it, it can encompass cultural, political, social even spiritual connections, ... You can tell what kind of music their into, and sharing that music is an affirmation of identity, because it brings us together to enjoy it.

In the 90s starting as a DJ with a passion for electronic music, house, Techno etc.
I started from 2001 to assemble sounds and melodies that go through my head!
initially for videos and documentaries of various kinds.
Now retransforming them and re-proposing them, along with pieces of new production.
I hope to turn them into emotions where everyone can connect and feel.

I wish you good listening

Let’s gather on the path where ancient tribal rhythms and hallucinogenic surroundings coalesce into a kaleidoscopic experience for body, mind and soul. Here, we’re free from our past and future selves to connect to the moment and elevate each other to a higher sphere – together as one.
