Radikon artist Tantum from Karlsruhe/Berlin produces Techno, House and all things between. He is trying to redefine the borders between forward-thinking melodic techno and progressive-house and does not shy away from intricate sound design and genre bending mixes.

On top of producing, educating really comes second nature to him and helps the community around the world.

"Acid lines have always fascinated me. The evolving filter movements, the piercing pluck sequences and the hypnotising repetitions that makes a night in a Techno club so unforgettable. Let me show you how to create the most popular acid/303 sounds and sequences, so you are ready to write your own!"

Kirk Spencer

Kirk Spencer

Sharing experiences, knowledge and sounds on YouTube and Instagram brought Raveyard quite a following, which speaks for the quality of their content and music.

“Knowledge and tools shouldn’t be gatekept. This has always been one of my core beliefs because for most of my production career, I’ve been on the wrong side of that gate. I am happy to share some of my knowledge for the PML community, so you can save a lot of time and progress faster.”

Heerhorst
