Modular techno live with self-built hardware
Based in Los Angeles, United States
Castellani’s sound is modular, hardware-first techno with a lot of movement in the midrange: sequenced pulses, sharp transients, thick bass, and long-form tension rather than DJ-style peak stacking. The ADE session is a masterclass, so expect him to talk through patching, sequencing, and immersive audio rather than play a straight club set.
He runs Noetic, an independent techno label, and the festival bio says he built his own sequencer module, the Precision Disrupter. His profile also places him as a resident of 6AM L.A., with documented appearances alongside Octave One, Etapp Kyle, Perc, Shlømo, Paula Temple, and Speedy J, which puts him in the modular techno/live AV corridor between Los Angeles and European techno circuits.
