Pinio - związany jest z muzyką elektroniczną dłużej niż od dekady.
Jego historia rozpoczyna się w Szczecińskim klubie Neuron w roku 2002, gdzie zaraził się uwielbieniem do winyli oraz do mixowania cięższych odmian gatunku - hard techno.
Przez kolejne lata jego styl grania oraz odbiór muzyki ewoluował. Kolekcja płyt rozszerzała się. Tempo mixowanych utworów prezentowanych w klubach zwalniało. Hard techno stopniowo zostało zastąpione detroit techno. Zwalniając tempo jeszcze bardziej rozpoczął granie tech-house czy minimal techno. To co aktualnie prezentuje określa mianem deep house, house, deep disco, które idealnie odnajdują się w jego setach granych w Szczecińskiej przestrzeni miejskiej. W sezonie letnim można go posłuchać i spotkać na rejsach przy zachodzie słońca na Statku Joanna, weekendowych wieczorach na bulwarach czy otwartej przestrzeni Rotundy Północnej.


Biography:

Insect was born and lives in Warsaw. Since his very childhood, he stayed under the influence of artists such as Jean Michelle Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode; thanks to this influence, he was always close to electronic music and his music taste evolved. Always when he had the occasion (or always when his sister left the tape-recorder near enough for him to get it when he was a child :), he listened to old electronics. As a teenager, he got to know The Prodigy which was a breakthrough in his life. When he was 16 years old, he went to his first techno parties; at the beginning, places that he visited most frequently were Trend, THC, Grota, then U-Boot, Kotly, W5. He acquired knowledge also by reading the Plastik magazine about the clubbing culture from that time. He was also greatly influenced by the German Evosonic Radio which operated between 1997 and 1998. Thanks to it, he got to know various music genres. At the beginning, he favored mainly Jungle/D'n'B as well as Psychedelic Trance; hovewer, as time passed and his music taste became more and more evolved, he switched to Techno. His first time behind decks was in 2002. The style, that he represents today is on the one hand a mixture of electro, minimal, tech-house, sophisticated, deep techno, but on the other hand he likes funky, tribal, acid and massive hard techno sounds which are most important to him. Sometimes, he also experiments with NRG, D'n'B and hardcore. He dislikes monotony, therefore his mixes are always build up of different genres. His mixing technique is original, with a lot of characteristic breaks and rewinds. He co-founded 2 projects - Unicron (with Kobe/Hyper DJs) where hard techno tracks are mixed with the use of 4 decks, and Antidox (with Tomaz/Fucking Brigade/Soundfobia) which combines a live act with a DJ set... 

Sin is a vinyl, well trained player and its long to talk about legends from the techno scene that he has supported.
