Whrikk in Columbus!

• Whrikk
  WHRK Records, Haerlem Acid Krew, Sanaton Records

Whrikk’s raw, heavy and surprising sets morph through the farther depths of the underground trance scene, to contemporary techno and hardware-drenched productions of his own. He has participated in powerful, dark and groovy sonic transmissions at many big stages and gatherings around the world like Masters of Puppets (Czech Republic).

Approaching 20 years of genre-bending live-sets around the planet and releasing uniquely crafted trance tracks on an extensive list of underground Psytrance labels such as the mystical Sanaton Records in Sweden, Ezy’s 'Tricky Grain' based in Copenhagen, Moon Koradji Records of Ukraine and many more.
Since a few years, Whrikk has been branching out more with powerful and trippy techno sets at a few of the rapidly growing KØLT event series in Amsterdam, one of the infamous Berlin-based Mala Junta 'Haunted' editions and often touring exotic regions like Brasil and India, where he closed at the first Boiler Room event in Goa.
Besides several self-released EP’s on his own WHRK Records, his striking productions have also found their way onto Schacke’s ‘Sacred Interface’ imprint, Mala Junta X Amniote’s benefit series, Berlin-based ‘Deestricted’ and again, the list goes on.
Over the years, Matthijs has always been demonstrating his diverse musical ambition with several albums under his braindance/IDM/jungle alias 'WHRK', catchy synth-pop as ‘Mathi’ and melodic house, weirdo acid and hard-to-define electronics as ‘Riffa.
