Batumi-born, Tbilisi-based DJ and producer Irakli Danelia, aka Yanamaste, has made a name for himself over the past few years, becoming one of the hottest names on the techno scene. Known as a hard-working and talented musician, the young Ukrainian first discovered techno music in his teenage years and started producing soon after. 

 

Widely known for producing music on modular synthesisers, Yanamaste recently stated in an interview that 'it's more unique and you have more room to play. You can touch the instrument and feel every wave. I create everything from scratch and every sound is mine and unique because it never sounds the same and no one can repeat it." It is clear that the module plays a fundamental role in his productions, as can be seen on previous releases with respected record labels such as Portugal's HAYES imprint, INNSIGNN and Berlin's Lyree. His recordings have received much acclaim in the past, but recently the young artist has been refining his music to create a fresh, new sound, which can be found in his latest sets on Planet MHz III and Solidarität aus Berlin Vol. 1.
