Cassegrain Details

In techno circles, Cassegrain shouldn't need too much of an introduction. With a label resume that includes, among others, Prologue, Infrastructure New York, Killekill, and Ostgut Ton - they've more than stamped their name on the scene.

Alex Tsiridis and Huseyin Evirgen--the two artists behind Cassegrain--formed the project after a chance meeting at the Redbull Music Academy in Barcelona. In the years following, they collaborated remotely via email, sending stems back and forth before making a move to Berlin where they currently share a studio.

In May 2016, the duo folded a former secret alias and launched it as a label under the same name, Arcing Seas. The first release was ARCS-01, an intense and varied three-tracker of warped beauty. Now about to put out the 5th release on the label, it is a testament to the duo's relentless work ethic.

Although Tsiridis and Evirgen obviously have an affinity for collaboration--the pair also work alongside Tin Man, a relationship that has delivered a handful of EPs and standout live shows--they are also now stepping out as solo artists. Evirgen's first record as Magna Pia was released via Counterchange, while Tsiridis released as Rhyw on Rotterdam's Tar Hallow and Shifted's Avian with more music forthcoming this year.
