DLV has established a unique presence in Europe’s techno landscape with an intense yet eclectic sound. As a DJ, producer, and label owner, his dedication and passion have led to releases on respected imprints like Amelie Lens’s Exhale, KlangKuenstler’s Outworld, and Voxnox. Those expecting hard techno may be surprised; DLV’s sound nowadays is rhythm-based, playful and percussive techno with influences ranging from old school to new. His history as a hip-hop DJ has shaped his versatility, allowing him to master vocals and even melodies without compromising his artistic integrity. Originally from Vienna and now based in Berlin, his rise in the electronic music world was kickstarted by the underground hit “Rave Instructor” and recently resulted in the founding of his own record label, “Misguided.” With support from artists like Anetha and KI/KI, Misguided reflects DLV’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
