The noo’s a 33 years old almost Swiss guy (actually Greek-Italian) with countless talents when it comes to art and music. Since he was a young boy he’s been love with all kinds of electronic stuff, gadgets and computers.For a while, he was playing at some clubs in Switzerland, but would soon change his mind when he discovered the possibilities of producing exactly what HE wanted to hear.Thanks to his open-minded but still critical attitude for different music styles, he developed his own special taste, which is equal to his delicate and sensitive character. He has an affinity for smooth details and subtle sound effects over a deep beat. Very uplifting, never cheap, a mix between watching the sunrise and spending long nights at a club.

OctaState was already experimenting with a four-track recorder and a borrowed C64 while in high school. Since the mid 1990s OctaState’s concern in electronic music genres grew up more and more - especially for the uprising Jungle/D'n'B community. 

First efforts directed him to the amazing fields of Drum and Bass. The logical result after a period of being a lonesome producer was the groundbreaking collaboration with NiceNine, founder and member of Bassda, which became a very successful live DnB group in Switzerland.

Based on these experiences, OctaState developed his production skills further. As one of the founders and members of the Swiss based DnB-crew called "Local Bass Movement / LBM" is OctaState often performing live. In the clubs he uses as a main tool his highly esteemed octatrack sampler. OctaState's live sets are unique, and so is his style.
