VI.BE

Rodrigo Ferran is born in Belgium and he started making music on an early age. Rodrigo Ferran is relatively new in the Techno scene but he has a lot of experience in other music styles. Under his alter ego “Kosmik” he played at almost every club in Belgium like Illusion, Boccaccio, Cherry Moon, H2O,… and a lot of festivals like Beachland & Suikerrock to name a few.

After a 2 weeks vacation in Ibiza in 2014 and a lot of clubbing, he started to get really passionate about the Techno & Tech House scene on the island. After he was back in Belgium he decided to listen a lot to this style of music and he really got overwhelmed by the dark & powerful sounds.

On that moment he already knew that he wanted to explore with these sounds. While he went through a very difficult period in his life, music was his only thing that helped him through the dark days. That time he wanted to reflect his feelings in a personal mix and the reactions were so good that he decided to do a monthly podcast and so the “Dark Life Series” were born.

He received a whole lot of positive messages about his mixes and that gave him the boost to go further & further. Besides his monthly mixes he also wanted to make his own personal creations. He started exploring with these sounds and tried to find a way through the different genres of Techno.

After a while and a whole lot of exploring, he found what he was looking for. Dark & banging but with a touch of emotion and sometimes even with a progressive impulse. He also received some great comments about his productions and that pleased him a lot.

The plans for the future are very clear. Besides the “Dark Life Series” podcasts, he already introduced the “Bright Life Series” podcasts, which are more focused on real Tech House & progressive sounds. For the moment he’s working hard in the studio to finish up a lot of tracks. Already 11 tracks & 3 remixes are signed on 6 different labels: Bunk3r R3cords, Duo Box Records, MTZ Records, MTZ Noir Records, PNA Records & MONOTON:audio.

2017 has started off with a bang for Rodrigo Ferran. He will help to manage the Belgian Techno Label “MTZ Records” together with his brother in crime Joram Respen. They are both very ambitious and the plans for the future are very clear.

More news for this year! For the first time an EP of Rodrigo will appear on his own imprint MTZ Records, 1 remix on MTZ Noir Records, an EP on the Italian PNA Records Label and a remix on the German Label “MONOTON:audio”.
