Bastian Bux is the consequence of reducing everything surrounding a DJ and producer to its essential element: the music. That is the intention of Bux: be stripped of all artifice and be judged by his work. Pieces full of deep textures, powerful harmonies and heavy beats; where everything is assembled with soul and sensibility, with the mastery of a craftsman and surgeon’s precision.
His debut came with his ‘Stay’ EP on Suara, where four timeless tracks laid the foundations of what Bastian Bux means today: emotional techno, dark house, and high class electronica. Such was the success of the debut that a stream of brand new EPs saw the light under the best labels of the scene such as John Digweed’s highly acclaimed Bedrock Records, legendary Sven Vath’s Cocoon, Nicole Moudaber’s esteemed label MOOD Records, whilst more recently returning back to Suara for his ‘Lights’ EP, that included remixes from the Dutch techno veteran Steve Rachmad and Fur Coat, or ‘Somia’ and ‘Multiple Realities’ where the Barcelona’s native has defined his own personal vision of modern and timeless signature. In little over a couple of years, Bastian has seen his work supported by most of the underground’s heavyweights and his profile has risen accordingly.
In front of a crowd, Bastian is able to travel elegantly from housy grooves to rough techno, going through epic melodies and sober beats, always loyal to his way of understanding music but without losing sight of the dancefloor. That ability has earned him the status one of the most eclectic residents for elrow, one of the most important brands in the world, based in Barcelona and Ibiza, and has seen him tour around the world in more than fourty countries. Featuring regularly at Space Ibiza in 2016 as part of his elrow residency, Bastian also performed at the historical Space Closing Fiesta. In 2017 Bastian then took his signature sound to Amnesia as part of his elrow residency, where he is present every summer. Other notable shows in recent months include performances at Ushuaïa Ibiza, Tomorrowland, Green Valley and supporting electronic icon Jean-Michele Jarre live in concert, as well as featuring at various venues and festivals across Europe, the Middle East, America, Asia and Oceania, proving that 2019 and beyond certainly looks bright for this new, up and coming techno wonder-kid.
