Andreas Davids is maybe best known for his electro-industrial project XOTOX with albums released since 1998 gaining quite some attention in his native Germany and around the world. In 2023, for the project’s 25th year anniversary the “Ich Bin Da / Ich Funktioniere” album was released.

On Mahorka Andreas appeared first as one half of the Natura Est dark ambient duo with British electronic producer Tony Young (Autoclav1.1). After their self-titled monolithic debut on Ant-zen in 2018, Mahorka released their “Second” album, a new chapter of colossal, brooding ambient, where light is slowly crushed by shade, within a multi-faceted arena of sound.

In 2020 Andreas Davids released on Mahorka under his real name “7 Jahre vor der Gegenwart” – an emotional rollercoaster running from dark ambient and broken structures to technoid rhythms and sequences, and “Isolation” – his deepest and most personal solo album, also on in a beautiful cassette edition. In 2022 the label also published “Space Ambient Pop”, the genre-defining collaboration album of Andreas Davids + Sven Phalanx, also in cassette edition.

With “Weltraum”, his new solo EP on Mahorka, Andreas Davids deals with one of his favorite motifs: Space. Since his early childhood he has been fascinated by science-fiction and adventures in space, either in books, comics or movies. Somewhere between Ambient, IDM, Berlin School and Electronica, he created a place for the listeners to experience their own adventures.

Created and mastered by Andreas Davids in 2024 at Separate Room, MTH.
