Basel-based Agonis (@agonis-amenthia) runs @amenthia-recordings alongside label partner @garcon. Fusing depth, rhythm, and echoes of Detroit, his DJ and live sets alike are captivating, at once both subtle and forward.

Following his transcendent live performance at Patterns of Perception earlier in the year, Agonis has taken his vision to audiences around the world, performing at key festivals and parties in Australia, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland where he is a resident of the famed Elysia (@elysiabsl) club. 
On the production front, he has been similarly prolific, helping to inaugurate @smokemachinetaipei ’s record label with the contribution of two tracks to its debut EP, plus overseeing the release of Amenthia's sixth EP - a debut from fellow Basler, and one-third of @varuna4053, Tafeit.

In Patterns of Perception 37, Agonis delivers a discerning selection designed to be equally enjoyed at home or on the dancefloor, constructed around the concept of bending time.

Biography
Empirical as a hard sip spilling from a discharged battery. There is always a nihilistic fetish in these youngsters dealing with technology. Stefano Martino, aka R A S H, is never hiding this darkest side in his composition. His machinery becomes a ritual object within which his human state becomes an algorithmic begging of change making its appearance at warm 50 hertz complacency.

His sound exploration is elaborated through decadent, post-industrial soundscapes inscribing the full failure of a consumer society which noise becomes an evidence whilst its awareness is modelled, reworked within a dystopian hexavalent chromium taste, blended into the future. Uncannily grainy, definitely remote. Until he stumbles upon a retrofuture device. Namely, a mono synth.Owner of  AreaAudio for Infestazioni Soniche Festival / R A S H lab
