ARTISTS
With origins linking back to Iran, London-based Ario is a practitioner of deep and inquisitive music both as a DJ and curator of his label Astral Industries. Although his remit falls within the deeper shades of electronic music, his overall aesthetic draws on a broader spectrum that prizes the synthesis of both instrumental and electronic disciplines. Depending on context, he traverses the lines and forms between ambient and heavier, club-ready styles.
What is common in both worlds, however, is his alchemic handling of rich organicism mixed with darker, more austere sounds. Speaking with an emotive sensitivity, there is a certain self-awareness that permeates his crafted soundscapes, which are as much drone-inspired as they are psychedelic and nature-driven.

Shifted tones and dissolving forms. Winnowing acid, techno osmosis. Synthetic
sounds from beyond: Christina Chatfield makes music to lose yourself in. Equally
poised for turning up a club floor or soundtracking a melt session at home,
Chatfield's vision of techno pushes boundaries aside and seeks the outer reaches.
She has released 12"s on Detroit's Beretta Grey, Chicago’s God Particle, and San
Francisco’s As You Like It Recordings. In 2021 Chatfield released her debut album,
a cosmic exploration of ambient techno moods, on lauded New York imprint
Mysteries of the Deep. Her psychedelic acid techno sets — performed live on an
array of gear — are familiar to dancers in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and
beyond. Her sound is mellifluous and effortlessly kinetic, designed for consumption
and expansion at once.

Mariachiara Troianiello, the Milan-based sound artist behind the moniker Katatonic Silentio,
works at the crossroads of electronic music, performing arts and sound studies. Both as a
live performer and an independent researcher, she seeks to bridge different spheres and
approaches to sonic production.
Active as a DJ for more than 15 years, her sets adopt multiple forms, fluctuating between
an analogue past and a technological, fast-paced future. At times, her sets focus on pure
abstraction, consisting of ethereal soundscapes that seek to transcend the tangible
through a mix of musique concrète, world, spoken word, ambient or dub. At others, they
come across as concrete and club-oriented, crossing techno, broken beats or drum n bass.
Mariachiara views sound as a critical tool and has a genuine interest in exploring sonic
possibilities and practices from both artistic and sociological perspectives. As an
independent researcher, she is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of USMARADIO:
Interdepartmental Research Centre for Radiophonic Studies at the University of San
Marino.
In her undergraduate thesis in 2015, Mariachiara looked at the different notions of radio and
broadcasting between underground and mainstream and the multiple performative
possibilities of the medium itself – a topic she currently puts into practice through her
project Expanded Radio Research Unit. As of now, she holds radio residencies on EOS and
LYL.
Mariachiara also collaborates with Anonima/Luci, a light art collective with whom she
develops installations that reconfigure architectural spaces by combining light and sound.
Together with choreographer and dancer Olimpia Fortuni, she performs "X", an ongoing
compositional study that draws on sound, movement and space.

natural/electronic.system. are Antonio Giova and Valerio Gomez de Ayala, a dj/producer duo from
Naples, Italy. Musically raised during the late 90’s prime of Neapolitan electronic music, they turned
to Rome soon after to find their sound creating strong connections with the city’s local musicians.
Showcasing their extensive experience of over 19 years in their well-received early podcasts for mnml
ssgs and Smoke Machine made them respected artists in the electronic music landscape with a wide
audience of devoted fans. They’ve continued to play highly respected festivals across the world like
Labyrinth Japan, Parallel Spain, Organik Taiwan, and similarly respectable clubs like Shelter, Tresor,
Funkhaus and more.
Their work in the studio has not gone unnoticed by Resident Advisor as their first record on the
Moroccan label Tikita has been praised as one of the best electronic tracks of the year. Further
records on Tikita, including a collaboration with Neel, led to them eventually gracing one of the first
records on Delsin Records’ Mantis series and a strong release on Midgar. They remain in form both
behind the decks and in the studio as a unique voice in electronic music.

Peter Van Hoesen & Atom™ present SYNC.
In January 2018 Peter Van Hoesen and Atom™ performed a one-off hybrid live show at Unit Tokyo for Mindgames. Performing on stage together for the first time, they jammed for nearly eight hours straight. Needless to say that the deep connection between both artists became immediately apparent. The idea was born to further develop this live collaboration with a number of select shows at favorite venues. 2019 then, right before the pandemic, SYNC. played some 4-6 hours sets at The Pickle Factory (London), Concrete (Paris), Berghain (Berlin) and Technoon (Brussels). After the global forced hiatus, both musicians are now back and just presented an updated set at Basilar (Portugal), Nitza (Barcelona) and Bassiani (Tbilisi).
SYNC. is a hybrid sonic rollercoaster in the truest sense of the word, combining intricate live programming and improvisation with timed DJ interventions.
