i_o is unarguably among the fastest rising acts in the electronic music scene. Only 18 months since the release of his first single, i_o has managed to gain an army of passionate fans for his dark and hard-hitting sound.

He made his debut at Ultra Miami this year and is slated to perform at EDC Las Vegas next month. i_o’s brand of techno isn’t for the purist, but it is something that can make a crowd of thousands lose their minds at any gig. The mau5trap signee continues his string of warehouse smashing beats with a new two-track EP ‘Death By Techno’.

The title track of the EP, ‘Death By Techno’ is everything you expect from an i_o track. It’s dark, gritty and has banging sound. It hits in all the right places with its thumping kicks, heavy basslines and dark melodies. If you think i_o is all about producing bangers, then you are mistaken. As he has proved his ability to come up with mesmerizingly beautiful melodies with tunes like ‘Let Me Go’, ‘Audio Dust’. The versatile producer again takes a step backwards with a vocal heavy song ‘No Sleep’. He aims for a euphoric vibe with a deep undertone to it.

If this is the first time you’re hearing of i_o, we can assure you this won’t be the last time. With support from the likes of deadmau5, Above & Beyond and Armin Van Buuren, i_o is quickly making a name for himself and standing out from the rest with his unique sound.
