Munich’s Fine Art institution ‘Die Pinakotheken’ will be opening one of its ‘Florence and its painters: from Giotto to Leonardo Da Vinci’ exhibition nights with our resident Sedef Adasi at the foyer of the ‘Alte Pinakothek’ on January 18th. With some 120 masterpieces, the exhibition presents the groundbreaking artistic innovations at the birthplace of the Renaissance.

“Stenny is an essential producer in driving forward the sound of Ilian Tape. He has remained loyal to Ilian’s sonic aesthetic while carving his own musical path with incredible finesse. We can confirm, having seen him play at Herrensauna in Tresor and the Backdrop party in Newcastle’s Cosmic Ballroom, that his DJ sets are as exceptional as the records he releases. A versatile, adventurous and tough approach allow for constant forward momentum and a truly unrelenting energy on the dancefloor. Though the beats may be broken, his flow is anything but. His Truancy Volume proves just that – it is gripping at every turn with the energy and flare he channels into the set going some way to demonstrate his almighty capabilities when at the helm of the party. From playing football in the parks of his hometown Turin, to touring the world’s most respected clubs from his new home in Munich, his fast paced ascent is hard earned and well deserved.” Read more: http://truantsblog.com/2018/truancy-volume-232-stenny/#ixzz5aJOCBwiH

Skee Mask’s LP Compro is picked for Resident Advisor’s best electronic albums of 2018. Well deserved, Bryan! The masterpiece of our resident was released on Ilian Tape on May 15h. “On his first album as Skee Mask, Shred, Bryan Müller mastered rhythm. On Compro, he mastered melody. More colourful than any previous Skee Mask release, his second album for Ilian Tape is a colorful exploration of IDM, jungle and ambient, cloaked in Müller’s trademark haze. The tracks range from classic (“Kozmic Flush”) to modern (“Rev8617”), but all are distinctly Skee Mask. With Compro, the young artist found the golden ratio between feeling and rhythm.”, Resident Advisor (2018).
