Biografia
Bulgarian techno producer and DJ KiNK (Strahil Velchev) is highly celebrated for his dynamic, spontaneous live performances, during which he commands an army of analog synthesizers and controllers in real time. His numerous recordings are both playful and experimental, effortlessly switching between house, techno, and acid, informed by the improvisatory spirit of jazz as well as the energetic rush of the early rave scene. Since his work began attracting international attention around 2008, he has performed at a never-ending list of clubs and festivals across the world, and has remixed tracks by Trentemøller, Nina Kraviz, Matthew Dear, and countless others. His extensive discography, with releases on labels like Ovum, Rush Hour, and Running Back, includes crowd-pleasing techno anthems such as 2015's "Cloud Generator" as well as eclectic, experimental full-lengths like 2017's Playground. KiNK launched Sofia Records in 2018, and steadily released EPs through the label, including 2022's exhilarating Hyper Epic.
