Early life
editBrikha was born in Iran, and grew up in Jönköping. He started playing the keyboard at the age of seven.[2] In his early teens, he developed an interest in electronic music from artists such as Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Kraftwerk,[2] Front 242, and Jean-Michel Jarre.[5] By 17, Brikha started using a sequencer, and composing music. The term 'Detroit Techno' was used by his friends to describe it, akin to records by Robert Hood and Berlin's Basic Channel.[2]
Music career
editBrikha released his earliest material on Swedish imprints such as Dunkla, Plump, and Placktown. In 1998, he switched to the label Fragile,[citation needed] with the release of his Art Of Vengeance EP.[2] Brikha tours with his live show in addition to performing at the annual Detroit Electronic Music Festival.[6][7] In 2020 he released his album Dance Of A Trillion Stars on Mule Musiq. It consisted of eight songs which were slower and more trance-influenced than his other work. This was followed by the dance-floor-focused album Prisma later that year.[8]
