Daniel[i]

Daniel Danieli, known under the moniker Daniel[i], is a Belgian producer, live artist and DJ based in Aachen, Germany. His music often carries an introspective quality that invites to explore immersive sonic landscapes. Through intricate layers of textures, filtered beats and field recordings, he crafts compositions that flow seamlessly between ambient and techno. As a self-taught musician with a background in drumming, Daniel discovered electronic music production in 2006. Starting with breakbeats and glitch-inspired sounds, he gradually gravitated toward the meditative pulse of 4/4 rhythms and dub influences. This journey of exploration and evolution has shaped his distinct signature, where organic and synthetic elements merge into fluid, evolving patterns. Daniel[i] has shared his vision through releases on respected labels such as Mojuba, Alpenglühen, Muzan Editions, Semantica, as well as on his own imprint, Whispering Signals. The label reflects his fascination for the hidden "whispers" of sound, offering two catalogues: the WHS series, emphasizing deep and rhythmic explorations, and the sub-label HOWLONGISNOW, dedicated to meditative ambient works. Live performance is a vital part of Daniel’s artistry, and his sets, featured at iconic venues like Tresor or through collaborations with Sebastian Mullaert’s Circle of Live, are a testament to his ability to connect deeply with audiences. Guided by improvisation, his live approach bridges analog warmth with digital precision, creating spontaneous flows that reflect his curiosity and emotional depth. In addition to his solo work, Daniel has been a key member of NoName, a collective behind Belgium’s La Nature Festival. Through this platform, he continues to curate and nurture a shared musical vision, bringing together artists and audiences around the transformative power of sound. Humble and deeply committed to his craft, Daniel remains dedicated to uncovering the subtleties in sound, always seeking new ways to inspire introspection and connection through his music.

Timnah

Timnah lives, works and feeds the cats in the Northwestern extremities of Switzerland. Brought up in her parents’ jazz clubs and deeply influenced by her brother’s love for dub and soundsystem culture, she started DJing just after the massively feared Millenium Bug had threatened to offset our relation to time and space. Dedicated to drawing her own map of late 20th century sonic landscapes, she spent the early 2000s exploring 90s electronics including breakbeat, triphop, ambient techno, drum&bass, house and jungle. After a short but sweet excursion into producing in the early 2010s, Timnah dedicated herself fully to spinning the wheels and transversing genres, gravitating towards her current signature sound that spans immersive sound baths and intergalactic carpet rides in half-time. Timnah is a member of Amenthia Recordings and a recent addition to the A Walking Contradiction Collective.

Vardae

A unique genre-breaking approach rooted in the love of psychedelic music and exploration of new sonic territories. From being a co-founder of the intimist Ouroboros festival to releases on Forest Drive West’s OODA label, Non Series and Samurai Music, Vardae combines tribal rhythms, repetitive leads and atmospheric textures which blend together to create engaging sonic landscapes. Known for his percussive and hypnotic sound, the Lyon based artist moves fluidly across styles, navigating from dub and tribal influences to techno and drum’n’bass. In both his productions and live performances, Vardae emphasizes the power of experience and immersion, offering listeners a journey that transcends conventional genre codes.
