@mad_dim is a sonic explorer whose path spans childhood piano, modular synths, and global stages, shaped over decades, disciplines, and borders.
Starting with
@rolandglobal and
@korgofficial grooveboxes, he moved through
@ableton , then into modular systems luke Eurorack
@shakmatmod and
@buchlausa , building complex live rigs around the Elektron Octatrack.
For over 15 years, he has shaped a sound rooted in rhythm, texture, and emotional depth, always balancing control with spontaneity.
This two-part interview (recorded in 2022 and summer 2025) traces his evolution through sound, war, and rebirth. From the roots of his live set to the impact of Ukraine’s war and Berlin’s sheltering arms, it offers a raw, human portrait shaped by analog warmth and creative resilience.
@mad_dim hails from Ukraine and lived in Moscow, where you could hear him play at hotspots like Gazgolder and Mutabor. He is a regular at
@nervmusic as well as
@serialism_records and the founder of the label
@ouyayebu_records .
We wanted to learn more about the artist behind the machines. His social media presence remains low-profile, so we asked him some questions.
What we are truly happy about is that in addition to the interview, Mad Dim has also shared an exclusive track with us, - “Yerevan”. This ambient beauty flows with emotional clarity and showcases his refined piano work, offering a quiet and touching glimpse into his sound world.
