Following his debut contribution to the label’s catalogue this year via the Midnight Shift x Voitax „Mothership” compilation, (a contribution saw the artist paired with Veronica Maximova) the Brighton based producer @L/F/D/M, also known as Richard Smith, is the latest to join the catalogue on Voitax. Having pushed the boundaries of his own music, Smith managed to release an impressive amount of records throughout the last years and has perpetuated his sound on cult labels such as Cititrax, Midnight Shift, Optimo Trax, Ecstatic and Clan Destine Records. 

The British producer now returns to Voitax with his »Mutual Autopsy« EP - a strong four-tracker that is characterised by Smith’s undenably grainy lo-fi signature. The whole package is armed with heavyweight kicks, bloating basslines and crunchy, percussive patterns, that he perfectly crowns with some memorable and catchy synth lines. The former art student, as well as one half of Bronze Teeth, shows once again his ability to modulate his way into the abstract, while keeping it groovy and warm and firmly secures himself in the ranks with the techno avant-garde.

404DATA. aka. Sterioa is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist, navigating the intersections of music production, painting, and visual art.—constructing a retro-futuristic world rooted in analog raw expression and D.I.Y culture. Strongly affiliated with old school hip hop and soundsystem culture.

Musically, 404DATA is an analog machine and sampling lover. His sonic field spans across electro, and breaks with a influence of hip hop and punk. His productions move between introspective soundscapes and high-voltage rave energy which forms an evolving narrative of underground culture.

On the visual art perspective, 404DATA grew up with graffiti, nowadays his visual work fuses abstract linework with calligraphic symbolism capturing the tension between analog textures and digital distortion on paintings and digital art. His physical art installations exists out of rare materials found in the streets and abandoned buildings while exploring the depths of the city.

As the co-founder of Fraktion Nimmersatt (FNS), 404DATA has been instrumental in reclaiming empty spaces since 2017, and became one of the key persons behind some of the biggest free raves in town nowadays. They transform shortly occupied spaces into platforms for artistic expression, fueling the independent rave culture of Berlin and throughout Europe. In 2020 FNS was running their Open Air club “Brache09” which was running for a short period of time until it got shut down by authorities. Through rave activism, demonstrations, and artistic interventions, the collective champions the liberation of free spaces and the expansion of underground movement.

Currently working on the foundation of Synaesthetic Syndicate (SY.SY), a label and platform dedicated to merging visual and sonic arts, 404DATA continues to push artistic boundaries. SY.SY is a base where frequencies and visuals converge into immersive realities, breaking through the boundaries of existing formats. SY.SY is expected to be launched in the year of 2025.

404DATA, embodies the transmission of unknown files. A glitch in the system, an encrypted signal of raw artistic energy which is telling the story of an underground movement.
