The Tale

Deeply lost, sunk into long forgotten he found a relic that he had been longing for for decades.
Happy to have finally found it, he imagined who it might belong to and who could leave such a wonderful creation behind.
He looked around and discovered the 5 burden bearers of valor, justice, hope, fate and wisdom. Saw their shame and pain.
Saw the extent of destruction around him.
Saw the blasphemous ignorance of humanity, forgetting what all those who were long forgotten in ruins and the values of that time rotted with them.
Fearfully he fell to the ground, understood every single one of them, lay the artifact behind and left the place.
Except for one drawing he forgot everything that happened back then. He now hangs over the fire, sometimes sitting there and remembering what the Angiris Council did for us.

We're thrilled to feature one of our newest members with a 1.5-hour sonic journey through ambient breaks, dark DnB, and fast-paced deep techno.

Just like this Logbook entry, the album is an eclectic fusion of introspection and intensity, guiding you through a liminal space between deep emotion and pulsating rhythms.

Premiere: Vanta - A Place Between Life and Death [IO:033]

There’s a space between life and death where memory, emotion, and rhythm blur into something unspoken, that’s where Vanta begins. “Between Life and Death”, his debut album on IO Records, draws from personal upheaval, pairing stark introspection with glimmers of defiance. The project navigates the tension between collapse and healing, with tracks like “Intrusive Thoughts” and “Void” oscillating between vulnerability and strength. It’s a record that doesn’t offer resolution, only presence, a sonic companion for those walking their own edge.

Opening with “Dissociative Drift”, Vanta wastes no time setting the emotional temperature. The track feels like falling into a dream you half-remember, bleepy percussion echoing like distant signals, submerged beneath fog-thick drones and viscous synth lines. It’s less a song than a state of mind, evoking the sensation of floating through murky water, unsure if you’re surfacing or sinking. A slow, syncopated pulse guides you, not forward, but inward.

“Between Life and Death” arrives on May 13 via IO Records. Pre-orders are live now on Bandcamp.

𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗘 | Vanta - Blackout [IO:033]

Andhera’, darkness in sanskrit.⁠
⁠
Where there’s darkness, we will find light.⁠..⁠
⁠
With every Full Moon or solar eclips I will present a new artist which I highly admire, respect and who emodies and understands the dark, ambient and hypnotic side of techno.⁠
⁠
The Full Moon is a time of blossom and highlights.⁠
The Full Moon equals the spiritual and energetic culmination.⁠
⁠
When the Full Moon has passed, the Waning Moon phase begins.⁠ This is the time to let go what no longer serves you.⁠
⁠
This week's Full Moon is in the optimistic sign of Sagittarius. Typical Sagittarius themes are enthusiasm, expansion, philosophy, travel; everything is about enlarging. Expanding your knowledge, your dreams, your opportunities, your experiences. And the Sagittarius does all this with a philosophical edge. This sign is looking for the deeper meaning behind everything that happens. 

That all sounds positive, but then there is the influence of Gemini (the sign the sun is in) that can make these days just a little more difficult. Sagittarius and Gemini are true opposites. Where Sagittarius philosophizes about the (distant) future, Gemini is present in the here and now.

As a result, you may find yourself in a kind of inner conflict. What do I want to focus on? Is that on the here and now? 
And after that? Think big and imagine that anything is possible. Be inspired by anything that comes to mind then.

Inner and outer conflicts, broken beats, out-of-the-box sounds, slowing down and speeding up, far from the classic 4/4 time signature, a true push-and-pull masterclass by https://soundcloud.com/vanta_techno who's this week's embodiment of June's Full Moon.⁠

He|Him

Marvin Hoyer aka Vanta based in Leipzig, is an artist who navigates the space between raw intensity and hypnotic sound design. Originally rooted in metalcore and hardcore, he has always been drawn to the realms of electronic and experimental music. Exploring the unknown through impulsive rhythms, dissociative sounds, and dark, immersive atmospheres, his goal is to captivate listeners with his productions, DJ sets, and live performances.

Since 2019, Vanta has been shaping his distinct sound within both the local and international scene, releasing on labels such as Charybdis, Further Sessions, KVLTÖ Records, and Deflection Music, among others. His productions reflect a deep fascination with raw energy, hypnotic structures, and sonic contrasts—merging intensity with precision.

In late 2024, he became an official member of Munich-based IO Records, finding not only a creative home but also a like-minded community. In 2025, he joined Leipzig's aequalis crew, known for its influential event series that once defined the sound of the late Institut für Zukunft and now continues to evolve beyond its former home.

With a vision that bridges genres and defies conventions, Vanta remains committed to pushing sonic boundaries-always seeking the next unexplored space in sound.
