Sunday April 28th, melodic techno powerhouse DJ/Producer 

 is set to ignite one of our favorite New York hotspots, 

 with his progressive electronica and spine-tingling sound design.

Hailing from a quaint southern German town, Saalbach's journey from a live-only performer in his youth, to a global sensation now based in the music mecca of Berlin, has been nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Spirited emotion is the protagonist in Jonas Saalbach’s brand of electronic dance music. Deeply uplifting and body-moving, his dozens of EPs on premier labels, three studio albums, and the establishment of his own imprint, 

, in 2018, Saalbach's majestic brilliance has rightfully gained recognition and crossed borders beyond his native country.

Translating from 'roots' in Esperanto, Radikon stands as a testament to Saalbach's commitment to unity and individuality in music. Each release is a masterpiece, filled with soul, lifeblood, and haunting melodies that promise an immersive journey into superior sound. 

Within just two years of the labels advent, Radikon became a collaborative epicenter with critically acclaimed releases from fellow founders and creatives Yubik, Tahu, Arude, and Baime.

Tracklist:
01. Jonas Saalbach - Alive Feat. SBSTN (Original Mix)
02. Jonas Saalbach - Voids (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
Radikon founder Jonas Saalbach is coming home with an elaborate 2 piece release. Our first EP of 2023 is suffused by his polished signature style in between melancholia pop and a crystal clear in your face production. 'Alive' features SBSTN on a peak vocal performance, while the protagonist of 'Voids' is an upfront but hypnotic synthesizer theme padded by a driving 16th note basspattern and a slightly darker overall appeal. Both tracks are another manifesto for Jonas' sweet spot at the vanguard of this decade's Melodic techno.

PREMIERE: Jonas Saalbach - Alive Feat. SBSTN (Original Mix) [Radikon] by Progressive Astronaut

Saalbachs’ energetic live performances and singular brand of melodic house and techno has enthralled listeners and club-goers around the globe, from performances at the world-renowned Burning Man, Zamna and Fusion festivals, and one to highlight in particular, his mesmerizing B2B Cercle performance with Einmusik on a cliff in the Norwegian fjords broadcasted to millions of viewers.

His sophisticated, hardware-based style gives unusual and peculiar sounds a new life, morphing them into timeless dancefloor anthems filled with emotion and percussive energy. 

Joining as a special guest is UK-born melodic techno artist David Lindmer, who is currently based in New York. With releases on Afterlife, Upperground, and his own imprint, Running Clouds, David was the icing on the cake for this special event. In 2022, he was voted one of Tomorrowland’s ‘Future 4’ artists. Check out his music video ‘Omen,’ which was nominated for Best Music Video @ SXSW, the European Film Festival, and won at One Point Four! 

To complete the lineup, we have Melissa XYZ, a DJ, producer, and recording artist based in New York City. Classically trained in piano since age 7, Melissa’s meteoric rise has led to performances at Burning Man and venues such as Elsewhere, Brooklyn. 

With love and flamingos,
Melissa XYZ
