In 2018 Marco and Andrea, two friends, musicians and producers from Rome, created
RIVE, a duo of Electronic music.
The sound of their productions is characterized by dense and stratified sounds, where
the organic rhythms and the analogical nature of synthesizers meet the passion for
musical harmony and acoustic instruments.
The piano becomes the basis on which they build their arrangements, inspired by the
world of minimalism of Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds, and then create very articulate
soundscapes, which refer to the productions of Max Cooper and Rival Consoles.
RIVE, however, is not only music. Marco and Andrea share a realistic vision of nature,
based on respect for the environment and the daily commitment of people. They want
to make a difference, they want to create a community that believes that the world can
be a cleaner place and full of life, thanks to the action of every human being.
"RIVE is balance and contrast. It is continuous research,
it is the desire to build something. RIVE is instinct and heart.”🌱

Record label based in Zurich, Switzerland.

"Music is the rhythm of my soul. A hidden orchestra, buried deep within. I know not, what instruments sound and clash inside. All I hear, is a single song....  my inner symphony."

Inner Symphony is a Berlin-based record label founded in 2017 by Soul Button. Initially launched as a podcast series, it evolved into a full-fledged label, embracing the Ethereal Techno roots established by its parent label, Steyoyoke. Inner Symphony focuses on creating profound, emotive, and uplifting music characterized by deep and atmospheric melodies. The label's mission is to offer a curated music experience that resonates deeply with the mind, body, and spirit, consistently delivering high-quality productions. Key artists on the Inner Symphony roster include Soul Button, Clawz SG, Mashk, René Diehl, Rustboy, and more. Inner Symphony continues to be a beacon for those seeking a deeply emotional and introspective musical journey, staying true to its ethos of blending art and sound in a harmonious and enriching manner.

Based in Berlin but originally from Italy, Soul Button has undoubtedly made a distinctive mark on the Melodic Techno scene, starting his personal project in 2012 along with the launch of his label and brand, Steyoyoke Recordings. As the inventor and trademark owner of the Ethereal Techno subgenre, his artist name, Soul Button, reflects a strong conceptual identity.

Soul Button transformed his label into a real brand, first establishing the two sub-labels Steyoyoke Black and Inner Symphony, and later developing his own clothing brand, SYYK Berlin, as well as his own publishing company, SYYK Publishing. Well known in the electronic music scene as one of the most skilled DJs and producers, for his mental and soulful sets and tracks, Soul Button has affirmed his international exposure.

His career took off with many successful singles like "Swift Minds" and "Wraith", the latter featuring acclaimed American vocalist Terry Grant. Tracks like "Reverie" and "Metamorphosis" were a great anticipation of his first album, released in December 2019, "Phantom Existence", a 13-original track album that marked a significant moment in his career, followed by a remix edition in April 2020.

Recent years have seen continued success with the release of the "Pantheon" EP alongside Monarke, and singles such as "God Save The Rave", "Crescendo", "Merine", "Infinitude", and "Dalliance", capturing the attention of techno enthusiasts worldwide. His latest work includes "Walking Straight Up", a single that highlights his ascent in 2023, together with the collection, "Dual Realms of Sound", which was a testament to Soul Button's evolving sound and his ability to capture the duality of rhythm and melody, further solidifying his place in the techno realm. 2024 sees his second official album "Master Minds", which will be launched in April 2024, with preceding singles "Lumina" and "Tartribe".

Having cemented himself firmly in the scene, Soul Button maintains focus on the continuous growth and development of his labels as well as his own personal career. The upcoming years will surely be busy with new tours and projects on the horizon.

Founded by Soul Button in Berlin, Steyoyoke Recordings is a groundbreaking collective that embodies the essence of Ethereal Techno across its three distinct labels: Steyoyoke, Steyoyoke Black, and Inner Symphony. Each label brings a unique yet complementary sound, contributing to the rich and diverse tapestry of the Steyoyoke brand.

This label has set a high standard in the electronic music scene with its commitment to blending music and art, offering listeners a deeply immersive experience.

In 2014, Steyoyoke Black was introduced, carving a niche for darker, more techno-driven sounds. This sub-label maintains the emotive and atmospheric qualities of Ethereal Techno while exploring the deeper, more mysterious facets of the genre. Inner Symphony, established in 2017, began as a podcast series before evolving into a full-fledged label. It focuses on creating profound, emotive, and uplifting music, characterized by deep and atmospheric melodies. Inner Symphony aims to offer a curated music experience that resonates deeply with the mind, body, and spirit.

Together, Steyoyoke, Steyoyoke Black, and Inner Symphony form a cohesive project dedicated to discovering and nurturing forward-thinking musicians.
