SARIN

SARIN is an influential DJ, producer, and sound artist known for their intense, industrial-infused take on electronic music. Based between Berlin and Toronto, SARIN’s sonic signature draws heavily from EBM, techno, electro, and the darker recesses of 1980s synth music. Since debuting in the mid-2010s, they have released numerous EPs and albums on respected imprints such as aufnahme + wiedergabe, X-IMG, Instruments of Discipline, and Pinkman, establishing a reputation for relentless live and DJ sets marked by propulsive rhythms, abrasive textures, and haunting vocals.

SARIN’s work frequently evokes themes of surveillance, dystopia, and post-industrial decay, cultivating an aesthetic that complements their audiovisual performance practice. They are also co-founder of the X-IMG label, which fosters a distinct, hard-edged underground scene, curating releases and multimedia projects. With regular appearances at iconic clubs like Tresor and Berghain, as well as performances at festivals and venues across Europe, North America, and beyond, SARIN continues to push the boundaries of dark electronic music, reshaping dance floors and expanding the sonic palette of the contemporary industrial and EBM scene.
