Producer / Artist / Manager


Omnipresent producer and vocalist GYPTXVN is one of modern underground music’s most important figures. He’s worked with a seemingly endless list of artists, always ready and eager to supply a characteristically cybernetic beat or reservedly impassioned verse. 

It’s hard to overstate how interwoven GYPTXVN’s being is with the fabric of the online music scene; you never have to look far to find him. Whether it’s the massive bass on Big Nate’s “Chaos” or the rainbow chimes of Cowboy’s “WHITE T”, the impact of the producer is instant and undoubtable.
Naturally, GYPTXVN’s network of collaboration was not built overnight. His standing as one of the scene’s premier musicians is built from a love for sound and a keen eye for rising talent.

 By embedding himself in a variety of genres - be that Drill, Pluggnb, Trap, or more pop-centred aesthetics - he’s lifted any caps on his creativity. His music is made with precision, but nothing feels predetermined, as the artist’s endeavours are constantly ongoing and evolutionary by nature; a series of songs with Houston rapper TRA$H AND BA$H have garnered the pair over 200,000 streams, but this kind of clout has not stopped GYPTXVN from working with smaller artists. To GYPTXVN success is measured in terms of artistic vision, rather than numbers alone.


On 2020’s “Flight” GYPTXVN’s voice carries intense emotion, signifying his passion for the craft. A quotable line from the song, “If I catch flight I’m gone”, evidences his drive to move forward at speed, which is backed in the real world by his seemingly unstoppable workrate. His work is often in direct defiance of the systems that seek to restrain him; the latest of his many beat tapes “CYBERSTEP 3K30 2001” features an anxious and devious track called “11AM IN LONDON”, evoking the feeling of being watched, monitored, and recorded. Other works, such as a mythologically inspired series of tapes hosted by 108MICS, speak to a destiny beyond this realm. He believes he carries with him the energy of the Egyptian Pharaohs, a kingly life he seeks to make manifest through art. All of this represents a deeper need to escape and challenge a world at war with racism, social division, and unjust powers.


Artistically GYPTXVN is so multifaceted he may as well be four-dimensional. As the smooth-talking spacewalker Flexo Kobain he creates slick twists on RnB. As a rapper he’s thoughtful, considerate, and driven. As a producer he’s, well, everywhere. This amounts to an artist that simply cannot be ignored in today’s creative landscape.
Biography by Jamie Richards.

Founder - @epika-edinburgh
Team - @sisu_crew


Polish-born and Edinburgh-based DJ and producer, ona:v is the founder of EPiKA and a club night curator. Her imaginative sets earned her loyal following across the UK.

Having honed her mixing skills and built an extensive track collection for several years, ona:v debuted on Edinburgh’s club circuit in 2019, where she remains an active part of the scene today. With a sound that spans dark yet groovy techno, ona:v channels older and lesser-known tracks throughout her DJ sets. As an advocate for equal representation in the electronic music industry, ona:v believes platforming is the best way to increase the proportion of female and non-binary artists and features their tracks in her sets.  

Bookings across the UK make up ona:v’s diary, with gigs from London all the way to Aberdeen. With strong Scottish presence, she shared the booth with biggest names of techno: Ben Klock, SLAM, Randomer, Clouds, ANNE, Fjaak and many more. More recently, she headlined the basement stage curated by Sisu at Hidden Doors — a prolific visual art and music festival in Edinburgh — and performed several times at Edinburgh's Terminal V Festival. Outside of the UK, she played in Poland in Berlin, with two streams from Berlin's HÖR Radio. 

Production-wise, ona:v has released her debut EP on Diffuse Reality Records in late 2022. With plenty more in the pipeline, no doubt we will hear more about her later this year!
