Cio D’Or is an artist, composer and DJ who seamlessly bridges the worlds of techno, art and composi,on.

Cio D’Or’s sound is characterised by attention to detail, weaving together ethereal textures, subtle rhythmic complexity and an undeniable emotional depth, creating a balance between architectural precision and fluid, cinematic immersion. Each element is placed with intention and shaped by a keen awareness of structure and space.
Her releases on Semantica, Prologue and Kynant are timeless expressions of her minimalist and cinematic approach to electronic music.
Known for her dramaturgically structured DJ sets and cinematic productions, she has performed at Berghain, Dekmantel, Bassiani, De School and festivals worldwide.

Press Comments [Selection]

Minimal Collective (Text: Brent van den Elshout)
In a world driven by volume and spectacle, Cio D’Or stands apart, mastering the power of the barely perceptible. This editorial explores her philosophy of sonic minimalism—where silence, restraint, and nuance challenge conventional ideas of presence in music. Through her creative process, live performances, and the balance between macro and micro perspectives, we uncover how Cio D’Or transforms the ‘power of less’ into a profound, intentional form of presence.

Orb Mag (Text: Cédric Finkbeiner) 
Designer of an instantly recognizable sound, she produces warm and deep complex structures, constantly on a fence between light and dark cliffs, noises and silences, cinematic settings and authentic presence. Part of a family of intricated sounds brought by artists such as Aleksi Perälä, Alva Noto, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, she’s a high representative of the minimal movement. She honors painter and pioneer Frank Stella’s quote “The aim of art is to create space,” she does through deep refined electronic music compositions and stripped piano pieces, delicate yet substantial.
Intriguing and engaging, her musical minimalism invites the listeners to bridge gaps with their thoughts, making them active in the artistic process and, therefore, contributing to the immersive effect. The mental activity is yet effortless for them: minimalism allows a focus on the essentials, by eliminating the dispensable sonic excesses and by creating space. Such a process brings mental freedom to the listeners, by breaking through the wall that a too-dense track would normally build. On the contrary, Cio D’Or’s music is open, and inviting, with an exquisite balance between artistic depth and hopeful, melancholic intelligence.

Monument Podcast (Text: Joe Mayberry)
What’s better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D’Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more.
Across both mixes you will hear Cio’s unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist’s touch.
Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.

These are my personal rules based on experience and love for music, promoters and audiences:
Set: 2 hours main time, 3 hours at the beginning of a night***
1 hour live (hopefully from Mid 2026)
Live recording:  
a) I love mixes that I perfect at home for an hour, because the idea, dramaturgy and a mix should, ideally, express something and be timeless.
b) there are far too many mixes online ( I prefer quality over quantity ).. 
Deeply thank you for your understanding! Love, Cio ~∆*
