Ian Boddy has been at the forefront of the UK electronic music scene since 1983 when he both performed at the very first UK Electronica Festival in Milton Keynes and released his first vinyl album The Climb.

In the 4 years preceding this event he had been experimenting at an Arts Council funded studio in Newcastle whilst at University. His early work resulted in 3 cassette only releases on the Mirage label as well as several local concerts. These early tapes showed Boddy gradually forming his own style through a long self teaching process in the techniques of analogue synthesis and tape manipulation.

After the success of 1983 he went on to release another 2 vinyl albums, Spirits and Phoenix, as well as performing several concerts throughout the UK. However it wasn't until 1989 that his first CD release, Odyssey, came out on the EM label Surreal to Real. After Drive, his second release on the Surreal label Boddy formed his own record label, Something Else Records , through which he released a further 4 solo albums as well as reissuing his 3 early vinyl albums and the cassette only release Jade on CD. Furthermore he released three collaborative CD releases with some of Europes finest exponents of EM, namely Andy Pickford, Ron Boots and Mark Shreeve.

He continued to expand his concert appearences which have now surpassed over 100 events with concerts in the UK ( including several more UK Electronica appearances, two shows at the Jodrell Bank Planetarium & two at the National Space Centre), Holland ( five festival appearances ), Germany and three shows in Philadelphia, USA.

Alongside these mainstream EM activities Boddy has also built for himself a formidable reputuation as a sound designer having produced a series of sample CD's & virtual instruments for sampling specialists Time & Space. In late 2008 Boddy set up his own downloadable sample CD company with the Waveforms series of sample packs. Furthermore he is also involved in library music having composed 11 such CD's for the publishing company deWolfe as well as producing some music for a computer games company.

Thus we come up to the present with the formation of his DiN label in 1999. Unlike his private Something Else Records the DiN label was set up to allow Boddy to actively form different collaborations with a wide variety of musicians as well as release other artists music. DiN has achieved widespread critical acclaim for it's adventurous outlook at the world of EM and has seen 39 releases with Boddy being involved in 21 of these ( five solo and sixteen collaborative projects ). 

In 2008 DiN expanded it's catalogue with a series of download only releases featuring Boddy in concert both as a solo performer and with other DiN artists. 

contemplative sound exploration

label manager @naturetales

Amsterdam-based DJ Cobahn began her musical journey in Seoul’s vibrant techno scene, immersing herself in its spiritual depths. Regular performances at Club Vurt—renowned as an underground techno bunker—allowed her to refine her craft through a variety of boundary-pushing parties.

Now based in Amsterdam, she continues to expand her musical horizons across Europe, performing at prestigious venues such as De School, Tresor, Garage Noord, Radion, Raum, and Perron, as well as celebrated techno events like Ratherlost and Pax Romana, and festivals including Dekmantel, Paral·lel, and Mostra.

Influenced by Eastern culture and the raw force of nature, her sound fuses deep, psychedelic elements into dark, polyrhythmic, and irresistibly groovy soundscapes. Her sets invite listeners into a ritualistic state, where the boundaries between consciousness and the subconscious blur. Focused on a spectrum of deep, organic, and avant-garde sounds, Cobahn’s hypnotic performances encourage audiences to explore the depths of their psyche through dark, mesmerizing rhythms.
