XXL Invites 022 | Tham

As we all know, there really is no shortage of artists in the vast field of electronic music, especially in the German capitol of Techno that is Berlin. They come and go with trends and seasons, build their hypes, and eventually vanish into the social medial void our postmodern times have created. However, there are those ones which stand out, which stay stuck in the eyes and ears of the public, which play and produce themselves in the collective memory of our community. Tham is one of those. As resident and face of underground public favourites like SYNOID, Revier Südost, and Lebendig, in just a few years the young artist has proven that he’s one to stay, to watch and to listen to. Growing up on the dancefloors of Berlin – figuratively speaking – Tham’s artistic vision hails from and is always directed back to that very place which represents the crux of the matter of our entire subculture. His interpretation of Techno, his musical vision, lives on his drive to set people in motion. Pounding bass drums, complex grooves, and aggressive synth lines lashing through the crowd, taking their hypnotic effect. This is what Tham provides. Music ex machina, coming out of nowhere, binding the eyes, ears, and bodies of his audience to the floor, to the very present, sticking to their brains, billowing through their minds for hours, long after they’ve left the club.

Ultimately, Rikhter does everything with his heart, living through every moment of the creation in his sets, inevitably reaching out and touching the listeners. 

Rikhters allure and dynamic ability to exhibit his artistic handwriting in a way that you have never heard before has meant that he is fast becoming one of the leading pioneers in techno, and he doesn’t intend on slowing down anytime soon.

As a regular to Monasterio, Rikhter came to be the artist we know today. A story of chance working succinctly with fate, to create the fiercely energetic and illusive live performer, who has detached from all meaning and purpose, tempting thousands of fans worldwide. 

As part of R Label Group, Rikhters sound reflects his ability to present unfamiliar and powerful new ventures, much like the rugged and demanding landscapes he comes from. 

After EPs in 2019& 2020 and his highly appreciated Album DOMA on R Label he will be back early 2023 with a new EP.

BURNING MAN VR - METARAPH X RASPBERRY DREAM LABS

BIO
Metaraph is a multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin, known for weaving together sound, movement, and visual expression into an immersive and emotionally charged artistic universe. As a DJ, music producer, dancer, jewellery designer, and performance artist, Metaraph blurs boundaries across mediums, genres, and dimensions.
Their journey began in London’s underground queer scene in 2017, first as a performer and soon after as a DJ. Since 2018, they’ve taken their craft across Europe and beyond—appearing on Boiler Room, delivering hypnotic sets at multiple Hor Berlin showcases, and reaching audiences across South and North America, Asia, and Australia.
Now signed to Berlin’s iconic Bpitch label, Metaraph is a resident artist for Ellen Allien’s We Are Not Alone, Gegen (Berlin), Club Elastica (Vilnius), and Riktus (Lisbon)—each platform becoming a vessel for their deeply transformative sound.
Their sonic journeys are fast, raw, ethereal, melancholic, and powerful—designed to unearth inner chaos and elevate it into higher consciousness. Blending techno, ambient, trance, and psy with sharp grooves and haunting melodies, Metaraph’s music doesn’t just defy genre—it devours it.
A master of metamorphosis, Metaraph doesn’t simply perform—they transmit. Their visceral connection to sound dissolves barriers and births new dimensions, where vulnerability becomes power, and experimentation is the only rule.
