Edward

Gilles Aiken, a.k.a. Edward, is one of the most admired electronic artists on today’s Berlin scene. One of the leading lights of the Giegling label alongside Prince Of Denmark, Vril, Traumprinz and DJ Metatron, he is renowned for his precise live sets and pin-sharp productions. Edward’s sombre analogue techno is lightly infused with a dub sound typical of Berlin. With an approach reminiscent of Maurizio or Moritz Von Oswald, he is capable of subtly blending broken rhythms, airy feels and metallic or organic percussion into one big sonic ballet that is simply impossible to resist.

Pitched somewhere between dance music and science-fiction, the Berlin artist’s lives and DJ sets are delivered with a serene grace and majesty. With his psychedelic ballads and technological explorations, witnessing Edward perform is a unique and magical experience that appeals as much to lovers as dancefloor frenzy as it does to more cerebral listeners.
