More than set on leaving a lasting impact within the electronic dance industry, Skryption (real name Matias Casal) is the epitome of an act that has dedicated his life towards mastering his craft, with each of his endeavours speaking volumes on the raw talent that he possesses. Hailing from Argentina but currently residing in Madrid, Skryption ensures nothing less than the most electrifying of vibes, with his techno and hard techno productions garnering millions of streams, and allowing him to release under the most well-renowned of labels, including Blackworks, Innergate Records, Reckless Records and TX Records amongst others. A resident artist at the leading Hard Techno event(s), Blackworks, Skryption has seen his music gain support by the likes of Amelie Lens, Kobosil, Dax J, 999999999, Shlomo, Paula Temple and SNTS when just naming a few, and in turn, has set his sights on nothing less than global domination. Bringing he heat with each of his live performances, Skryption has ignited crowds at festivals such as Monegros, Elrow, XXL, Kappa Futur and Verknipt, as well as causing havoc at major clubs such as Hï Ibiza, Spazio 900 and Input Barcelona, whilst also boasting a Boiler Room set in his already immersive career within our community. With this said, we could not be any more thrilled to be joined by the man of the moment, as he discusses main inspirations and influences, the origin of his style of play, upcoming projects, the launch of his own label and so much more.

Hello and thank you for joining us! Could you provide us with an insight on the main inspirations/influences that led to your chosen career pathway in music?

“Thank you for having me! My journey in music has always been fueled by a deep connection to sound and emotion. Growing up in Argentina, I was immersed in a vibrant and diverse music culture that encouraged me to explore various genres and find my own path. However, it was the raw energy and hypnotic allure of techno that really captured my heart. Richie Hawtin, especially through his Plastikman persona, has been one of my biggest influences. The mix of acid textures and melancholic overtones laid the foundation of my musical identity and inspired me to come up with my own music.”

Pushing boundaries with each of your productions, we would like to know the origin of your style of play, and how your sound has evolved over time?

“Over the years I was experimenting with different styles within techno but I always opted for more melodic branches “Boris Brejcha” or Afterlife in its beginnings with its dark and melodic sound. I think that the mixture of everything was what made me reach the sound I want to express at present. A melodic sound but adapted to the present in terms of strength and speed.”

With techno and hard techno your prominent genres of choice, could you talk us through the development of your signature sound, and the significance behind a versatile nature?

“The Techno has always been my musical home for its ability to convey raw energy without leaving room for deep emotional resonance. Developing my signature sound has been a journey in search of balance, combining fast and punchy beats with atmospheric textures and melodic elements that convey something deeper. For me, it’s not just about creating songs that work on the dance floor; it’s about creating a story that resonates with listeners on multiple levels.”

Marking a new chapter in your career, 2025 is shaping up to be Skryption’s year! Could you provide us with an overview of what you have planned in a bid to evolve your artistic and musical vision(s)?

“2025 will definitely mark a pivotal moment in my career, and I’m beyond excited to share what’s coming. After many months of hard work, I’m launching my own record label, which will be dedicated exclusively to my music. This label is going to be a reflection of my artistic vision—fast, powerful, and emotional. It will be a space where I can experiment freely and share my sound with the world, without limitations. In addition to that, I’m bringing a new image and logo that encapsulate everything I’ve learned, both as an artist and as a person. This re-branding is more than just an aesthetic shift; it represents the evolution of my sound, my message, and my connection with the audience. Alongside this, my collaboration with NXBO, a leading tech wear brand from Argentina, will bring a fusion of music and fashion to life—creating something that blends two worlds that are integral to my identity.The upcoming year will also see the launch of exclusive merchandising capsules, new releases, and live performances that reflect the direction I’m heading. It’s all about staying true to myself while constantly pushing the boundaries of my music and my art.”

Set to launch your very own record label in 2025, we would like to know the main vision behind your imprint, the core values you will set, and the impact that it will have on up and coming artists in your region?

“Launching my own label is an incredibly exciting and meaningful step in my career. The main vision behind the label is to create a space where my music, my values, and my artistic philosophy can thrive. It’s going to be a home for a sound that’s fast, impactful, and deeply emotional—everything I’ve built my identity around. One of the core values of the label will be creativity without limits. I want to push the boundaries of what’s possible in hard techno, encouraging innovation and experimentation.”

Presenting a brand new image and logo, as well as clothing designed in collaboration with NXBO, could you talk us through this endeavour in further detail, and how excited are you for what’s to come?

“This collaboration with NXBO is something I’m incredibly excited about—it’s a perfect fusion of music and style, two elements that have always been central to my identity. The new image and logo aren’t just about a fresh visual; they represent the evolution of my artistic vision. The clothing line with NXBO is something special for me. NXBO is an iconic brand in Argentina, and their ability to merge tech wear with cutting-edge design makes this collaboration a natural fit for my style. I’m incredibly grateful to be able to work with such a talented brand, and I can’t wait to see how the project comes to life. It’s not just about launching a clothing line—it’s about creating something meaningful that connects with my audience in a new, exciting way.”

Gearing up for a truly spectacular 2025, we will most certainly be keeping a close eye on Skryption and all his future endeavours within the dance scene, but for the time being, you can stay fully up date by following him on Soundcloud, Instagram and Spotify!
