In the last decade Berlin became a magnetic force of culture. With an enormous appeal to artists from all areas of expertise including music, design, architecture, theatre, dance and everything that helps the evolution of imagination and creativity. This is why it should come to no surprise that it is the birth place of both Iono Music and its founder - Matthias Sperlich.

Like many other labels, Iono Music was born in order to give its founder, Cubixx aka Matthias Sperlich, the freedom he needed to release his first creation as Koaxkaos – "Evolutyon". After he met Murus in 2003 at a Psytrance festival, they started working together for several years, and so Iono Music was established in 2005. Unlike many other labels, which are affected by fashion, hype and commercial factors, Iono Music has been motivated by the radiation that the music transmits and the way the body reacts to it. If the music changes the molecules and atoms into ion then it means it has been ionized*. The Ionization process can only be fully successful if your music is high quality Electronic music. Iono Music's main emphasis is on Progressive Psytrance and yet any Electronic style is accepted as long as it stands out of the others – after all it has to reach the top atmosphere to be an Iono…

Matthias Sperlich was born in 1977 in Berlin, Germany. He has over 15 years of experience behind the decks and has a long time love affair with electronic music. He works as a professional VFX artist for cinema and TV, which allows him to pursue his passion and vision of extraordinary music, while being guided by his perfectionist's standards. Since the beginning Cubixx knew that Iono Music could succeed only if he chooses each artist with extra care, examining every aspect to see if they belong in the Iono family. Thus all the artists and dj's you see in our website were picked one by one, after proving to be not only excellent artists but also great people.

Iono Music never stops to evolve, always being one step ahead with technology and new initiatives it had grown to be an exciting international label. Always on the move, Iono Music promises to give you the top notch music this atmosphere can offer.

*"The Ionosphere is a shell of electrons and electrically charged atoms and molecules that surrounds the Earth, stretching from a height of about 50 km to more than 1000 km. It owes its existence primarily to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun." (Taken from Wikipedia.org)

DJ Murus from Hamburg, Germany, got touched by psychedelic trance in 1994. Until today he is still infected by the magic of this genre.
He started mixing in 1995 and has built a reputation for storming sets that leave the crowds chanting for more. Murus’ sets continually break down the boundaries between Progressive and Psychedelic Trance. However, it has always been his versatility as a DJ and his careful track selection, that has proven him to be a highly regarded artist. 
Via progressing through the various sub styles of trance, Murus is always able to create exciting atmospheres on the floor. 
in 2005 Murus was invited by his friend DJ Cubixx to establish the new label "IONO Music". Until today he feels deeply connected to the IONO family. 
From 2012 to 2014 he successfully studied Audio engineering in Hamburg.
In 2019 Olaf was booked by the most legendary Fusion Festival to fill the "holy" closing slot of the trance floor with a DJset. The condition was that he plays as technoid as a trance set can be possible on the trance floor - in a much lower tempo than usual. So his side project "El Muro" was born. 

Building up the tension and letting it explode with massive uplifting bombs, or taking the sound on a darker, but always psychedelic trip - this is what you can expect from a Murus or El Muro Dj set.
In the past 20 years Olaf has been standing behind countless decks at Festivals and clubs around the globe.

Digital Nomads is an electronic music label based in the Netherlands that focuses on good music. What good music is, is of course subjective… You know it is good if it makes your booty twist and groove. The focus will be psytrance and more techno oriented sounds with a psychedelic twist. The groovy psychedelic twist is an essential ingredient.
