- Music producer and performer, graphic designer. Hails from Katowice, lives in Kraków. One of the founders of the Radar collective. Makes machines sing raw to touch your soul. Releases on Recognition, Holger, Altered States Tapes, Shtum and Syntetyk.Multi-disciplinary artist, whose work incorporates music production, live performance and graphic design. An avid mountaineer. Having grown up in the post-industrial bleakness of 90’s Katowice, he was originally drawn to graffiti art, and soon enough to the music that often accompanied it at the time – classic electro and industrial. These twin interests have fuelled his creative endeavours ever since, leading him on the one hand to study and eventually teach at the city’s Academy of Fine Arts, and on the other to explore sound and rhythm – from early experiments with desktop micro-sampling, through the discovery of analogue synthesis, all the way to immersing himself in the praxis of live performance, spanning full-impact peak-time sets, far out late night odysseys, and extended offbeat improvisations. Deftly integrating a wide array of tools basic and arcane, vintage and state-of-the-art, Chino creates machine music par excellence, with a stark, brutalist property to it, but never without a spark of human soul shining through its dense layers. Even in the studio, he remains a live performer at heart, his output having a lot of the spontaneous intensity of his shows. Chino is also one of the founders of Radar – originally a creditable (if short-lived) Kraków club, surviving as a collective and an event series, both crucial to the city’s underground scene. Apart from regular performances, and taking part in shaping policy, Chino is in charge of Radar’s visual aspect, where his penchant for converging music and art finds one of its most pronounced outlets. He has been releasing on Syntetyk, Recognition, S1 Warsaw, Holger, Altered States Tapes and Shtum. His musical exploits have taken him as far as Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Georgia, Czech Republic and Albania. And Germany.̸Chino – Early Days EP (Recognition) 12" + digital Chino – Duch EP (S1 Warsaw) 12" + digital Various – Super Various (Nachtdigital) 12" Various – Shtum010 (shtum) 12" Various – SideOneTen (S1 Warsaw) 3x12" box set Chino – Hiss EP (Holger) 12" + digital Chino – Kolaps EP (shtum) 12" + digital Chino – The Cave EP (syntetyk) 12" + digital Chino – Autosrada (Uncanny Valley) 12" + digital
