Airshpd

Airshpd is the live, hardware-only solo project of Jacopo Aluzzi. It explores darker, groovier, deeply hypnotic territory, bending and contaminating techno, house and dub in a live performance that keeps mutating.

His path runs through Europe’s underground circuits: after founding the Transition Lab platform and festival in Puglia and moving to London to refine his production practice, Aluzzi has been based in Berlin since 2020, folding the city’s metropolitan aesthetic into the project’s identity. He is also one half of Deltagram and the founder of Human Tree Records.

No laptop, no timeline. Every set is built and rebuilt by hand, live, on the machines: Elektron Analog Four (analogue synthesis and sequencing), Boss RC-505 MK2 (live looping), MPC Live (sampling and drums), Akai MIDI Mix (hands-on mixing), iPad with Spacecraft (drones and textures). Root Layer Vol. 1 (ZOYLR001, 23 Apr 2026, deep techno) is out on zoyl.rec.
