About Psyk
Psyk is a solid staple of the current techno scene and doesn’t seem to have gone off course since his precocious artistic ascension.
Like a conscientious artisan, Psyk approaches his productions with care, adding somber power and deepness through subtle touches, a process which has made him the subject of constant praise from illustrious artistic figures, be it through his offerings under the patronage of emblematic figures like Luke Slater, Len Faki, DVS1 stronghold labels Semantica and Tresor or even through his own label Non Series under his Maan alter-ego. Since its inception in 2011, Non Series has released music by strings of prominent artists from the likes of Dj Nobu, Architectural, Neel, Blawan, Luigi Tozzi, Function, Rrose… and has established itself as a reference in the Techno scene.
His sets in the best clubs all over the world have helped crystallize his DJ talents making him one of the most interesting DJs on the circuit and an influent figure in a whole generation. Psyk’s singularity and maturity are constantly present in his music. The versatility who characterizes his sets are also shown in his productions, from “Arcade” or “Eclipse”´s entraining feverish techno, his remix for Planetary Assault System´s track Twelve to hypnotic and deeper cuts like Lowdown for Tresor or his eps on Non Series and Semantica.
In 2014 his widely acclaimed debut album “Time Foundation” is released on Luke Slater’s Mote Evolver imprint and in 2019 his second album “A Moment Before” on Tresor records, same year that one of the most played EPs of the year “Natural Causes”. This time in collaboration with the Spanish producer Reeko on his label Mental Disorder.
In 2022 after a long collaboration during lockdown with Oscar Mulero, a new project from both under the alias “Second Skin” sees the light under James Ruskin´s infamous Blueprint Records.
By developing, refining and purifying his sets, Psyk is focusing all his efforts on the concretization of the ideas that agitate his mind.
