Radial is the techno music project of Jeroen Liebregts (1980). Jeroen has been running and producing for his labels Audio Assault and Arms since 2002, and also produced music for several other labels. In 2006 he finished his studies of electronic music at the conservatory of The Hague (www.sonology.org). The Radial project started out as a cooperation between Jeroen and Laurens van der Starre.. Jeroen: “Laurens had been a long-time acquaintance I met via some mutual friends and I knew of the work he did with Anton Pieëte, when he sent me a demo for my labels I was really impressed so that’s when the idea to collaborate came up.” The first release of the duo, Beton EP was signed by the infamous Slovakian label Numb Records. Since, their music has been appearing regularly on mix compilations, play lists, and charts of many top dj’s like Adam Beyer, Surgeon, Luke Slater, Oscar Mulero, Ben Sims, Regis, Rumenige, Loktibrada and many more. Jeroen “We were really happy to receive support from exactly the people we respected very much and were influenced by a lot, the release on Numb was a dream start.”
Other full EP’s include the Premium EP’ on Token records, Hair of the Dog EP on Audio Assault and the Planet Rhythm 2 part series Firm to Farm I and II. The success of the latter even resulted in the release of Radial’s first full album Deleted Scenes on Planet Rhythm records. Since mid 2009 Jeroen continued Radial on his own since Laurens took a career opportunity and had to quit the cooperation.

Felix Lorusso, born on the 14th of October 1985, became aware of his passion for electronic music besides the dance floor in the year 2007. Starting to mix his favoured music, he quickly developed a significant style in his DJ sets by using a four channel digital setup. Soon after his first appearances in Hamburg Felix started to produce his own music.
Within a short time he found his own expression of minimal music. With atmospheric tracks, stunning bass lines and haunting noises sometimes outlined by deep vocals he interprets electronic dance music dark and emotionally. In the next three years he and some of his friends started to organize underground techno parties with international guests. The idea to establish their own minimal-techno came to mind. Felix and his partner Tanja Rückwardt (Ira & I) succeeded in their plan and started the label “Cirque du Minimaliste“.
