LAURA MRLS aka PSYCHATRIAN [SUBVERTED, USM, MNMT] Laura MRLS is a producer, DJ, and live artist based in Helsinki. Their live sets unfold as introspective, longform journeys built from drone, field recordings, and spatial composition—bridging dark ambient and experimental sound with a strong sense of emotional depth and atmosphere. In contrast, Laura’s DJ sets lean toward hypnotic, shadowy techno marked by eerie atmospheres, industrialesque textures, and subtle psychedelic tension. A resident of SUBVERTED (Berlin), SOMA People (London) and Monument (Oslo), Laura is also the founder and label head of Affine Dark Science [AFDS], a platform encompassing a radio show, record label, and ambient-focused events. They have shared stages with Jeff Mills, Oscar Mulero, Paula Temple, Space Afrika and Animistic Beliefs. With their live debut at Solstice Festival 2024, EU & US performances like Shelter & NTS Radio in Los Angeles, at Tresor in Berlin, gigs in UK, France, Greece, Spain, Austria, Estonia and Poland, Laura has established themselves as a compelling force in both introspective and dancefloor-focused sound. Since 2018 the artist has been performing for selected events with their second alias, PSYCHATRIAN, concentrating on dark and heavy sounds with influences from cinematic horror movie sounds, black metal, hip hop, modern classical, trip hop, dnb and more.
