It’s no secret that AKKI is one of the most popular techno newcomers in recent years. Having released tracks on labels like 1605, Filth on Acid, Terminal M, and Alaula, gained millions of streams plays, and received several big editorial playlists’ support in the past, AKKI has made it clear that he is a force to be reckoned with.
AKKI was born and raised in Munich, Germany, was introduced to electronic music in his early teens with his first DJ setup, and has not lost his passion for it to this day. He always knew he wanted to do something creative, to defy boundaries and guidelines and let his creativity run free. AKKI began his career as a producer at the age of eighteen and consistently developed his own style of music. To push this further, he studied music production in Frankfurt.
AKKI’s style results from emotional melodies that contrast with hard technoid basslines and are driven by stylistic rhythms that combine different genres. Sound-wise, there should be no limits.
AKKI always wanted to bring the joy of high-quality peak-time techno to the people. Starting his own successful imprint label ”From The Soul” in 2023 is just the beginning of the next chapter of his artistic journey and his way to the top of the European techno music scene.
Techno’s next powerhouse has arrived. After honing his craft with releases on 1605, Filth on Acid, Terminal M, and Alaula, German producer AKKI now steps into the big league with his debut on Amelie Lens’ EXHALE. ‘Lost In Time’ is a full-throttle techno weapon – gritty, fast-paced and engineered for the dark energy of massive warehouse raves. This is more than just a release; it’s a defining moment in AKKI’s rise.
The track already received a massive endorsement when Amelie Lens dropped it during her B2B set with Charlotte de Witte at Flanders Expo in Ghent, shaking the crowd to its core. Now, with its official release on EXHALE via the label’s latest VA compilation, the anticipation has reached a fever pitch.
‘Lost In Time’ is a fast-paced, peak-time anthem with a driving bassline and relentless acid synths. Industrial percussion slices through, leading to a tense breakdown before the track explodes back into its thunderous groove. It’s raw, immersive techno, built to dominate the dancefloor.
Born and raised in Munich, Germany, AKKI’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. With millions of streams and support from some of the biggest names in the scene, he has established himself as a key figure in the new wave of techno. His signature style – a fusion of emotive melodies, hard technoid basslines and genre-blurring rhythms – has made him a standout artist in today’s fast-moving underground circuit.
With the launch of his own imprint, From The Soul, in 2023 and now his debut on EXHALE, AKKI is proving that his journey is only just beginning. ‘Lost In Time’ isn’t just a track – it’s a statement; a declaration that AKKI is here to stay, ready to push boundaries and deliver some of the most electrifying techno of the new generation.
