From Skating the Streets to Spinning Beats

Alessio and Leopold, both native Regensburger met through their mutual love of skating and music at school. 
Many of their skating sessions went hand-in-hand with listening to and discussing different genres of music.
They soon started producing together and found their first gigs at local Regensburg clubs and festivals where Battery Flex served up their beats. They also started experimenting with different scenes; from Breakbeat to Italo/Letfield house to Ambient to Detroit Techno. However, they were still struggling to find their own style, though this would all change one very special club visit for the duo.

“A visit to Munich´s Blitz Club, where we got to see Answer Code Request and Skee Mask play live was like a total brainwash for us, it was truly a musical awakening for us”

After this game changing experience, it was clear in which direction they want to go. Fleeing from Bavaria, the duo made their way to the mother city (Berlin) where it became all about the music. Vinyls were now a hot topic for the duo and they started producing their own tracks and mixes. 

“We love playing vinyl records and jamming on drum machines, but we are also interested in modern music making techniques, like producing in Ableton Live. We want to find the middle ground between the old legendary Breakbeat tunes and future elements, and we are always pushing our limits with the aim of getting people to lose themselves in our sets”

Behind the duo’s drive is their passion for producing music and to share that music with as many others in the electronic music scene as possible. Battery Flex, perfectly describes the duo’s high energy and dynamic sounds which drive their unique sets.

Ariadne's Labyrinth (aka Sharon Subbarao) is a classically trained violinist, pianist and composer. 

After studying classical music as an undergraduate, she spent some years living in squats and being around sound systems and the free party scene, where she developed her deep love for electronic music. She later studied jazz, composition and improvisation as a post graduate, where she also immersed myself in the rhythms and grooves of music from Cuba and Brazil. 

Upon graduating, and after a few years spent freelancing on the UK jazz and Latin scenes, she began to pursue her love for electronica, drawn to the beat structures, textures and sounds that could not be created through instrumental performance alone. She is inspired by an array of classic electronica artists spanning the realms of IDM, techno and ambient styles, as well as music by Phillip Glass. 

She released her debut EP, 'Lost and Founded', in January 2017 on the Detroit Underground imprint. Later that year, she released her first album, 'Twists and Turns' on Touched Music, and followed that up in 2018 with a remix album called 'Twisted Up and Turned Around' featuring remixes from artists including Plaid, D'arcangelo and Boxcutter.

Lost and Founded was re-released in 2021 on CD for the first time on new label, L50, and she self-released her new ‘Ridiom EP’ in December 2021 with support from Arts Council England. She celebrated the release with an EP launch show at Spanners, London, where she performed a brand new and original live set with support from Paul hierophant and Kim Cosmik.

‘Just the Night’, that was the title of an interview with Cristian Varela by the British outlet 15 Questions. There are very good reasons, of course, the history of electronic and techno music holds a special place for this  pivotal ‘Madrileño’ artist who has played a crucial role in building the Spanish industry as we know it today. One where the new generations have entered too. 
	
Master and servant for the cause. Cristian Varela has a very busy schedule that takes him all over the world. For those who are patient, you should be able to catch this awarded artist in your home city or country. For those who need a more regular dose of his music selections, you can catch his weekly radio show at Bloop London Radio and all his shows that’s syndicated in Europe, USA, South America and Asia via more than 100 specialised techno stations in more than 50 countries.

Pioneering techno producer with his own weapons. Cristian Varela has run since 2003 one of his most esteemed projects: Black Codes Experiments imprint. As it could not be otherwise, the label forged itself a firm reputation as one of the most prestigious, forward-thinking brands on the international electronic music circuit. Futuristic, enthusiastic and with a constant target of forming a strong alliance by keeping people dancing in unity to the electronic sounds and beats.

Well as an entrenched and highly respected producer, or as an immensely reliable DJ (his 6-Six Vinyl shows are just stunning as unique and the best way to join wires between past-present-future), Cristian Varela continues bouncily his expansion.
