Syafka - Maladaptive Stress Response

“The corpse at every wedding, the bride at every funeral.”

Syafka produces hypnotic, groove-based techno with a focus on vinyl and live expression. His work layers dense percussion, eerie textures, and vocal fragments into dark, meditative structures.

Based between London and Kraków, Syafka releases regularly through Bunk3r R3cords and other underground labels. His monthly Wax Sessions series explores classic and contemporary vinyl in the darker end of techno.
