Founder / DJ for Kapital Music, Edinburgh

Born in Dublin, Ireland. Barry O’Connell is an Edinburgh-based DJ, producer and founder of the forward-thinking techno and electronic club night, Kapital.

He has been instrumental in crafting Kapital’s defining sound, which takes in everything from deep driving techno, to minimal tech house and trippy melodic electronics.

Of his DJ style, Barry says, “I enjoy trying to make a set flow well and I try to stay clear of a constant kick driven 4×4 techno sound, but like to think of it more as a melodic journey with the odd moment of twisted madness”.

Previous Kapital bookings include: Jon Hopkins, Gui Boratto, James Holden, Dominik Eulberg, Michael Mayer, Stephan Bodzin,  Gaiser, Adriatique, Matador, Patrice Baumel, Mathew Jonson, Anja Schneider, Ellen Allien, Extrawelt, Daniel Avery, Max Cooper, Ivan Smagghe, Oliver Huntemann, Nathan Fake, Paul Ritch, Ryan Davis, Alex Smoke, Pier Bucci, Damian Lazarus, Paul Daley (Leftfield)...

Yiannis is an artist from Thessaloniki, Greece. He started studying classical guitar in the early 00's, but soon enough electric sound got him. During the next years, he's playing the guitar for the Muddy Banks -a post/ punk band-(2007-2010).At the same time, he's been a member of several other bands of the same music genre.
  
In 2012 he founded his own label the "Red Vinyls”. In 2013 he released his first ep , “Take it or Leave it”! In 2017 he released his second ep "PAUSE" and that was a two years pause indeed! Finally in 2019 the game is on again releasing the new song "Get Away" part of the upcoming ep "Revolution". This new darker sound approaches the deepest fears of humanity, having high hopes to reach humility again..

 In 2021 Revolution EP is released. 
 In 2022 the single "Do U" is released.
 In 2023 the single " Dangerous Feeling" is released.
 In 2024 the single "Ghosthunter" is released.

Ps. The plural of "Vinyl" is indeed "Vinyl" but we like "Vinyls" better!
