It's been awhile since Ohrwurm featured a live act! This time they are very happy to showcase one of the world's best live acts as Ohrwurm presents .VRIL (GER) Live @ Pisco KL this 27th April 2024, and supported by Odd, Alam, and Afaro!
Despite making music since his teenage years, the first notable appearance was in 2010 when his first 12” “Vril 1-4” transformed the Dub Techno genre.. In 2011 then his very first gig took place in Berlins Berghain. The album “Torus” followed, unveiling the depth of his abilities. It laid out a sonic landscape of loopy perfection and otherworldly noise. The LP and his first gigs brought attention from electronic music lovers and the scene from all across the world.
Since then, there’s been a steady development of VRIL’s visionary electronica - from the dystopia on “Thronwagen” (IMF), “UV” (Ostgut Ton) “Vortekz” (Delsin), Rødhåd&Vril "Target Line“ (Dystopian) to the seemingly supernatural layering on “Anima Mundi” (Delsin). „BM4“, his album from 2020 on Marcel Dettmann’s label Bad Manners, is taking the powerful edges of his sound further and expanding them to conquer dancefloors. In 2023 his 5th solo album called „Animist“ dropped on Delsin Records/Amsterdam.
Undoubtedly a VRIL production is as spacious as it is arcane, shifting between earthshattering drums and delicate chords in just one track. Many of those hold new discoveries and hidden sounds reveal themselves with every single listen.
These qualities as a producer mean he’s also become a sought-after remixer. While his productions cover a wide range from experimental deep listening to peak-time club tracks - ambient, IDM, techno, electro - they’re all sprinkled with a unique touch. As if he uses some kind of powdered space matter, something cosmic that makes his sound so distinct yet inexplicable.
Complementing the EP and LP releases, experiencing VRIL live is best described as highly energetic and profound. Through pushing the limits of what is expected on the dancefloor he plays a kind of contemporary techno and electro that is cathartic in many ways.
By now he has toured in over 45 countries. This has also earned him a spot in the top ten of the best live artists according to several polls.
Support for the evening will be coming from Odd, Alam and Afaro.
