Hailing from Utrecht, NL, Tifra has quietly been behind some of the most infectious dancefloor grooves in recent years. A producer of modern club mutations that could loosely be termed ‘prog’, his sound encapsulates much more- low-slung tech house, dubby shades of psy and Goa trance, deep, lush techno, and leftfield house reimagined through a razor-sharp production lens that sounds as fresh as does it timeless. It’s a synthesis of the organic and the mechanical: trippy, hypnotic rhythms, slow-burning melodies, and a keen focus on the dancefloor.

A prolific producer, he has released on labels like Haŵs, Duality Trax, PROXY, and Neptune Discs, receiving support from across the underground– chances are you’ve heard his productions on the sound system of your local club without realising it. With support from the likes of Aurora Halal, Konduku, Roza Terenzi and Byron Yeates, his tracks have featured in Resident Advisor mixes and have echoed through clubbing institutions around the world, from New York’s Nowadays to Berlin’s Panorama Bar. A deejay’s producer with the tracks to show for it.

Tifra’s DJ sets mirror his production aesthetic- wubby, tribal, groove-focused cuts that bridge the space between past and present, across introspection and dancefloor euphoria. His careful selections have landed him bookings at festivals including the likes of DGTL, ZeeZout, Into the Woods, and Mystic Garden as well as club appearances at renowned venues around Europe, most notably Lofi in Amsterdam, Drugstore Belgrade, and La Mazette in Paris.

Tifra is also a regular on Rotterdam’s Operator Radio and has contributed to several noteworthy podcasts, including Rey Colino’s Sizeable Mix and Tbilisi club KHIDI’s in house mix series. A torchbearer for contemporary psychedelic house music, Tifra continues to carve out his own space in the underground.
