Dorian Paic

Born in 1974 in Frankfurt am Main, Dorian Paic has been active in the local techno scene since the early 1990s, first as a DJ in the city’s leading clubs such as the Omen, Monza or XS, then within the Freebase Records record-shop milieu from 2001. His career follows a minimalist and deep house line with a sober grain, featuring a approach to selection and set-building that favors textures, progression and uncluttered rhythms. Dorian Paic is also active as a producer and A&R for the raum...musik label since 2000, which anchors him durably in a German electronic aesthetic attentive to reduced forms and sonic precision. On stage, Paic moves between clubs and festivals, with regular Ibiza forays as part of the Cocoon Music Event entourage from 2005, as well as appearances at events like Sonus or Time Warp. His discography includes notably the EP Umschwung (2001), Now and Then (2010), Excited (2012) and Amicorum (2016), the latter with Markus Fix, as well as the Cocoon Heroes (2011) mix, produced with Adam Beyer.
