A space of convergence takes form through sound: ELM ༆ Emerging between New Delhi and Berlin, ELM channels a vision shaped by movement, exchange and introspection. The name itself carries a quiet philosophy, inspired by elm trees once imagined as gathering points for traveling artists, places of rest, dialogue and transformation. This idea continues to echo through the project, unfolding as a sonic shelter where contrasts meet and evolve. At the core of ELM’s work lies a focus on immersive, narrative-driven experiences. Drawing from the more unconventional edges of techno, his sound weaves intricate rhythms with striking lead elements, textured noise and expansive atmospheres. Each composition unfolds with intention, guiding the listener through shifting states that balance physical intensity with emotional depth. With releases on labels such as @qillarecords and Observant, his trajectory reflects a steady refinement of language and form. His participation in projects like the Catalyst Institute workshop in Berlin, collaborating with musicians from the Rundfunk Symphonie Orchester, further expands his approach, bridging electronic composition with orchestral sensibilities. Performances at spaces like @mihnclub in Hong Kong, alongside artists such as Occa, and shared lineups with figures including Svreca, Freddy K and Stanislav Tolkachev, reflect a path built through connection and exchange within the global underground. We’re looking forward to welcome him into the THIRD EYE 🌿

Stepping away from Techno and diving back into my past. Im delighted to share this track with you which was originally created in 2019, just before the onset of the COVID era. It blends elements of trip-hop and electronica, with each melody performed by hand on the keyboard, lending it a distinctly human and expressive quality. Recently rediscovered on my hard drive, I found myself drawn once again to its melancholic character. Moved by that connection, I decided to share it as a free download for listeners to experience and enjoy.

My new track "Naja Siamensis" is out now on @phtm.music alongside some really nice tunes to accompany mine. Inspired by the Thai spitting cobra, this is the second track I've named after a snake due to my on going fascination with them, and also because they regularly come in my dreams (a bit scary tbh). Appreciate my brother @tommylewisdj for making this happen and inviting me to the imprint. Here's a preview, and visit the @phtm.music Insta and Bandcamp to hear the full release. Love, Sid

Last month i got the chance to play at @mihnclub in Hong Kong. It was definitely a great experience to perform in this amazing sounding room with such a nicely tuned sound system. It was my first time in 🇭🇰 and im super grateful to have met such kind, humble and warm hearted people who i hope to be in touch with for years to come. This country has so much soul, talent and diversity just like its food and people. Thank you so much @distrikt_hk team and @sunsiare_ for inviting and taking such good care of me. I will remember this for all my life. Also, great sets by @jyippio @fungicf and @occa_occa_occa . P.S - It was definitely a nice moment/surprise to hear Occa san play my music right after my set. Appreciate all the support and until next time. 🙏🏽🫶🏽

The importance and influence OCCA has on global techno and particularly the scene and sound of Hong Kong can't easily be measured but it's palpable - and it's vast. This Friday, Distrikt is ringing him back in and onto 4F, to pair with a voice of our own. OCCA B2B Konnection feels like a logical step and a way to forward the club and the city right into highly controlled fireworks. @distrikt_hk @occa_occa_occa @fungicf ELM from New Delhi is another mental and physical expeditionist who manages to fuse somber but radiant tones into a conveying storyline. Distrikt continues to nurture multifaceted approach to techno and club music, with Faxtory as a prime representative of the bunch this coming Friday. @elm_sid @jyippio FRIDAY FTW, JANUARY 16 TICKETS LINK IN BIO poster @steviewhisper

DISTRIKT 27 To kick off the new year, Distrikt proudly invites a troop of new and returning artists to 宀 Club for a night of bona fide sonic expression. Headlining the night is a special B2B pairing of two DJs that stand as singular forces in their own right – OCCA (@occa_occa_occa ) and Konnection (@fungicf ). Although sharing the booth for the first time, the synergies between them are undeniable; with both artists leaning into immersive soundscapes that sit at an inimitable intersection of psychedelic, tribal and atmospheric influences. Not bound by the limitation of genres or tempo, their multidimensional vision and meticulous mixing will be on showcase for all to bear witness. Joining the lineup and reinforcing our connection with the ever-evolving Indian underground scene is ELM (@elm_sid ). Based in Berlin by way of New Delhi, ELM’s striking trajectory as an artist has seen him release productions on respected labels such as Qilla and Observant. Drawing from the more unconventional and nuanced corners of techno, ELM’s sound plays on the contrast between light and shadow, energy and introspection. They will be supported by Distrikt co-founder and resident Faxtory (@jyippio ). This inaugural event of 2026 will feature extended hours from 22:00 – 06:00 to empower the full expression of this special curation. Creative direction by @lalabellec Friday 16 January, 22:00 – 06:00. Advance tickets available on RA. Link in bio.

October 11th, 2025(SAT) I’m releasing the Monos 4th EP‼︎
This release features three original tracks, along with two remixes: one by Apellum, who previously delivered an outstanding EP on Aum Recordings, and another by ELM from the label @qillarecords , which I personally admire. The individuality and distinctive sound design of these two artists intersect beautifully, elevating the original tracks into entirely new forms.
 I first met Apellum at this year’s Moment Festival, and as for ELM, we connected after one of his DJ sets at a Berlin club event earlier this year. Coincidentally, it was right after I had purchased a qillarecords vinyl, and that chance encounter led to great conversations and eventually this exciting collaboration.
 For the originals, I explored a style that blends an organic atmosphere with my previous sound. Particular attention was given to melodic phrasing, carefully balanced to dissolve into the overall texture of each track. This EP is another step into new stylistic territory for me, and I’d love for you to check it out.
Purchase & streaming links are available through the link in my profile. 
Monos 4th EP アルバムをリリースします!
今作品では、オリジナル3トラックに加え、前回Aum Recoridingsから素晴らしいEPをリリースしてくれたApellumと、個人的に注目しているレーベルqillarecordsのELMの豪華2トラックを収録しています。2人のアーティストが持つ個性と独創的なサウンドが交差し、オリジナル楽曲を新たな形へと昇華させてくれました。

Apellumは今年のMomentフェスで初めてお会いして、ELMについては今年のベルリンのクラブイベントのDJ終わりに声を掛けてくれて、その日がqillarecordsのレコードを購入したその翌日くらいで、偶然お会いして色々話して仲良くなり今回の依頼に繋がりました。

今回のオリジナルではこれまでのアルバムの中でも、よりオーガニックな雰囲気を混在させたスタイルに仕上がっています。特に音階を意識したメロディーラインを曲の全体のテクスチャー感に溶け込むようにバランスを合わせ構築させました。 今作も新しいスタイルに挑戦しているので良ければぜひチェックして下さい。よろしくお願いします!

Few snippets from my live set i played in September 2024 at Trxxtr in Berlin. This was a super intimate and comfortable space to test my experimental side. I don’t like to classify my taste and music in a category and prefer going with the flow and demonstrating what comes naturally to me in the form of audio/sound. I have always been inspired by ambient soundscapes, gnarly/crisp sounds from metal, psychedelic leads and the rule breaking and hypnotic side of techno from a very young age and this music is a depiction of all those influences. All tracks and the set is produced,mixed and mastered by yours truly. Just like 3/4th of my work, they are all unreleased 🤪😖🫠 Also, thank you to whoever turned up for this gig and @andimarino for trusting in me🫶🏽
