MindTrip is pleased to introduce Part 2 of its new various artists series ‘From The Lab to The Club’. For this EP, 4 artists – both established and emerging - were selected to contribute music which embodies the spirit of the series. 
This release opens in the strongest possible way, with 2 of techno’s heaviest hitters, Chris Liebing and Pfirter joining forces to produce the driving, heavy and hypnotic ‘420’. Notably, this track signals a welcome return to production for Chris Liebing and shows his ability to create strong, dancefloor techno has 
not diminished. Next up is the highly talented Japanese producer Yuuki Sakai (Subsist, Warm Up Records) with ‘Ballat’, a relentless, percussive track enhanced by subtle, textured elements. 
There is no letup on the B side, which opens with the mysterious Obscure Shape’s ‘Back in Black’. This track promises to yield an intense and building atmosphere, which almost – but not quite – threatens to kill all those who dare to defy its menacing sounds. This strong release is completed with a contribution from UK producer Dax J entitled ‘Revelations’. Make no mistake, this is an intense, compelling track, which builds with a strength which is not for the faint hearted. 

This is MindTrip!

Matteo Brigatti, better known by his stage name Gandalf @gandalf-the-grey, is one of the leading figures in the Italian techno landscape. Born and raised in Turin, he has been active for over two decades as a DJ, curator, and cultural driver within the city’s vibrant electronic underground. His sound — pure, deep, and hypnotic — embodies the essence of Berlin-style club techno, focusing on tension, groove, and emotional density.

From his early beginnings in the local scene, Gandalf earned his first residency in 2006 with Mood, a weekly night at Club Gamma that helped define a new generation of Turin club culture. He later launched Stereo, another forward-thinking project aimed at pushing beyond mainstream trends and reaffirming a commitment to authentic, underground techno.

In 2014 he co-founded GENAU, now one of Northern Italy’s most respected techno brands, known for its refined curation, striking identity, and consistent contribution to the national scene.

As co-founder and label manager of Genau Recordings, Gandalf continues to cultivate the next wave of Italian techno talent, bridging his city’s underground with the broader European circuit.

Over the years, Gandalf has shared the stage with many of the world’s most influential techno artists — from pioneers and innovators to today’s leading names — including Ben Klock, DVS1, Luke Slater, Marcel Dettmann, Oscar Mulero, Nina Kraviz, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Len Faki and many others. His presence alongside such artists underscores both his technical mastery and his enduring relevance within the international techno community.

A resident DJ at Kappa FuturFestival — one of Europe’s most acclaimed electronic music festivals — and at Audiodrome for the long-running Over night, Gandalf has become synonymous with precision, depth, and intensity behind the decks. His sets translate energy into motion, exploring hypnotic layers and physical drive in perfect balance.

Beyond Italy, his career has taken him to major clubs and festivals across Europe and Asia, including ://about blank, Griessmuehle, and Kosmonaut in Berlin; Concrete in Paris; and internationally at Klick, Saloon, and Dommune in Tokyo, as well as Faust in Seoul. In each context, Gandalf delivers his signature deep and driving sound while adapting intuitively to the energy of the crowd.

Today, Gandalf stands as both an artist and curator — a figure who bridges local and global techno culture, continuously shaping Italy’s electronic identity through his residencies, his work with Genau, and an unwavering dedication to the underground ethos.

Kaiser B2B DJ Pete @ VERTX — RSO.LIVECAST 026—250406

MindTrip music, Founded by Pfirter 2006. 
Reinvented and relaunched in 2012 under the new name MindTrip.

MindTrip Music was the creation of Buenos Aires born Juan Pablo Pfirter in 2006. The digital-only label acted as a springboard for upcoming Argentinian artists and of course, Pfirter himself, introducing those talents to the rest of the world. Over the years, the fledgling label allowed Juan Pablo the ability to experiment and play with music, sounds and textures and develop his own sense of direction and focus. Collaborating and drawing influence and experience from fellow MindTrip Music artists like Jonas Kopp, Flug, Markus Suckut, Psyk and Monoloc, both the label and Pfirter grew in symbiotic proportion. But after 6 years and 48 releases, Pfirter felt the need for change.

Having released on CLR, Stockholm LTD, Stroboscopic Artefacts & Figure, Pfirter’s brand of hypnotic music has touched dancers and listeners the world over. Not only limited to the clubs, Pfirter’s productions have delved deep into the experimental side too. This is the focus and framework of the new label. 
Juan Pablo reinvented and relaunched the MindTrip imprint, showcasing the full degree of his sound. The label changed its name from MindTrip Music to
just MindTrip, releasing vinyl as well as digital utilising a bespoke artwork profile.
This is MindTrip music!
