"the German producer we first knew as Traumprinz and Prince of Denmark, and who, over the past decade and change, has released music as DJ Metatron, DJ Healer, Prime Minister of Doom, Golden Baby, the Phantasy, and now irini. His real name has never been publicly known. His live appearances were always rare, and seem to have stopped completely after a brief DJ set at Berghain on Christmas Day in 2015."
"indulged in a bit. He claimed one of his Giegling mixes was made for a girl he fell in love with ("we've been together ever since"). His RA mix, he said, was the tape of a radio show he'd done 20 years earlier for Sender Geibel, a "metaphysical radio channel," according to his SoundCloud, "broadcasting all around the parallel world-part of planet uterus.""
The mysterious artist known under aliases such as Traumprinz, Prince of Denmark, DJ Metatron, DJ Healer, and irini delivers a three-hour compendium blending dub techno, deep house, trance, ambient, and drum'n'bass. The producer's real name remains unknown and public appearances have been rare, with a last noted DJ set at Berghain on Christmas Day 2015. Interviews were limited to short Q&As accompanying podcast mixes, where the artist emphasized imagination and the Sehnsuchtsort, a desirable fantasy place that empowers creativity and shelters from unpleasant reality. Mixes are framed as personal narratives — a romantic dedication, a metaphysical radio tape — and imagery evokes childlike play and alter egos.
