Toxido Mask

Toxido crafts immersive soundscapes that transcend the ordinary, sculpting worlds where texture, energy, and precision collide. A master of both live performance and studio creation, her work spans from the weightless and atmospheric to the intense and driving, seamlessly moving between ambient, halftime and techno. With a background in sound design, she approaches each project with meticulous attention to detail, shaping every moment into a sensory experience that lingers long after the sound fades. Her sonic universe is one of depth, intricacy, and relentless exploration—where every track is a journey and every mix an invitation to lose yourself in the unknown. As a resident at Tresor Berlin and curator of the 'OMM Transmission' podcast and event series, Toxido continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in sound.
