DRKSHD
/dɑː(r)kʃeɪd/
Founder / Artist
A simple result is often the culmination of many iterations and hard work. But that's exactly how he has developed his sustainable and sophisticated output, for which he stands today.
'DRKSHD' is the epitome of Nico García’s timeless, minimalist ethos, in which he subtly provokes the listener's ear with deep, dark and bewildering characteristics.
„For me, it‘s more like combining different frequencies rather than mixing tracks. The output of this intuitive and creative process is always unique and only for the moment. I wouldn’t be able to reproduce it the same way on any other day.“ — as he points out.
It’s not only his individual way of performing music that communicates originality and creative thinking, since the Regensburg-born and -based artist is hitting the nerve with his very own version of techno and its clean aesthetic, that is aided by his thoughtful, considered, and playful simplicity.
By curating dynamic and captivating audio/visual events tied under his new collective “Hidden Experiments”, Nico continues to inspire and proves that it is this kind of inventiveness and imagination that is necessary in 2024 and beyond.
