Renowned for his eclectic take on techno and celebrated for his high-octane live performances, AIROD—also known as Dario Brkic—continues to make waves in the electronic music scene. Following his standout appearance at Boiler Room in Köln and recent releases on Charlotte De Witte’s KNTXT label, the French DJ-producer is set to release his latest single, “Shark Soul,” on September 12th.
“Shark Soul” is a powerful testament to AIROD’s influence in the hard techno scene, showcasing his innovative fusion of styles. The track blends nostalgic melodies with intense drops, balancing futuristic sound design with furious kicks, and evokes the wild, elusive nature of a shark. This release reaffirms AIROD’s commitment to pushing musical boundaries, seamlessly integrating DNB and hardstyle influences into a unique hybrid sound that underscores his versatility and distinct signature.
AIROD first gained recognition in Paris, capturing the attention of techno heavyweight Amelie Lens, who featured him at her renowned Exhale parties. His raw and emotive productions have led to successful collaborations with artists like Amelie Lens and Charlotte De Witte, with tracks such as “Adrenaline” amassing over 6.5 million Spotify streams.
As AIROD prepares to perform “Shark Soul” live at Boiler Room in Ghent on September 7th, fans can expect an electrifying showcase of his new material. Following this, he will continue to defend his track internationally at events such as the infamous EXHALE parties in Medellin, FABRIK in Madrid on October 12th, and Audiodrome in Torino on October 19th.
“Shark Soul” will also gain recognition on worldwide dancefloors thanks to the WELCOME BACK DEVIL parties organized by artist SHLØMO. These events, set to take place in South America (Mexico, Guadalajara) at the end of September and in the U.S. (Chicago, Arizona) at the end of October, highlight the growing collaboration between these two artists, further propelling the French hard techno scene forward.
