Audio Units craft a detailed, modern interpretation of techno while paying homage
to its roots. The brother duo draw their inspiration from a myriad of subjects
including art, science fiction, and technology. Staying devoted to the true process
of creating techno, they apply a pragmatic hardware-driven approach to transform
their ideologies and subconscious thoughts into compelling works that capture the
cerebral brink of electronic music. Their works have appeared on enduring digital
and vinyl imprints such as Molecular, Newrhythmic, Dynamic Reflection, and Illegal
Alien.
Their production style combines pulsating up-tempo trips across landscapes that
can be sophisticated and subtle or rhythmic and riveting. Omnipresent groove and
power on their records manoeuvre and meld in the same streamlined motion they
harness as DJs. Abstaining from hype and clout, they diligently choose to navigate
the nexus of accelerated grooves, mechanic backdrops, subdued cadences,
reinforced by a meticulous collection of crate-dug classics across their DJ, hybrid,
and vinyl-only sets. Instinctually able to read the minds of dance-floors, leaving
room for circumstantial improvisation and trailblazing mixing ability has earned them
busy itineraries across imminent festivals and venues.
A desire for showcasing overseas artists and a push for immediate momentum of
Indian talent inspired the inception of “Observant” in 2019 with dotdat. An
unembellished record label that serves as a conduit to unite both worlds. They
continue to contribute to this burgeoning ecosystem through their educational
venture at “Beatworx” teaching music production, sound design and DJ lessons as
well as organising bespoke techno events at “Afterworx” since 2010.
In 2024, they debuted a live show fulfilling a long-held aspiration of making music
spontaneously on stage. An unfiltered portrayal of perpetual motion and candid
outbursts capturing the amalgamation of sleek rumbles, slithering sequences, and
blazing drums fosters the maximum intrigue of mature listeners.
