M.F.S:OBSERVATORY
Rooted in the depths of the techno underground, M.F.S: Observatory is a project driven by exploration, hypnosis, and raw energy. Known for pushing beyond conventional structures, the sound moves through deep, stripped-back techno, where repetition, tension, and atmosphere take centre stage.
The project has released music on respected labels such as Illegal Aliens, Second State, and Diffuse Reality, while also shaping its own path through releases on Observatory Music, establishing a distinct voice in the underground scene.In recent years, M.F.S: Observatory has evolved into a more live-oriented approach, crafting beats in the studio and translating that process into performances that blur the line between DJ set and live act. The focus is on movement, flow, and presence — letting tracks breathe, shift, and connect in real time.
This instinctive approach has resonated on dancefloors across Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Helsinki, London, and Italy, including spaces like Sisyphos. Each set becomes a shared moment — physical, hypnotic, and deeply connected to the underground ethos. M.F.S: Observatory continues to evolve with a clear intention: to stay honest, stay raw, and explore techno as a living, breathing form rather than a fixed formula, while pushing forward the sound of Observatory Music with every release.
