Finona Rider

My journey into sound has been a lifelong passion, but my deep love for dancefloor-related electronic music truly ignited through attending raves in my hometown. Time after time, I immersed myself in arts, including studies in systematic musicology, event techniques and audio engineering, while working at Remoto-Records and surrounding myself with inspiring people who encouraged me to bring my ideas to life. This also led me to experiment with analogue sounds, which gradually evolved into producing. Since I began playing my sets at several dancefloors across Germany and beyond in 2018, my connection with music has become increasingly intense and adventurous. For the past five years, I have been organizing events with my collective Phantasia at various locations, creating unique spaces for musical exploration. At the end of 2024, we launched our own label, where you can find my very first release on wax. I also perform under my artist alias problem.child, where I focus on CD-only sets featuring 90s and early 2000s Goa and progressive-house. Additionally, I hold a bi-monthly residency for my show Exo-Drive on London-based radio station Komrad 94, as well as for my concept Großstadtromantik, which takes an experimental approach, on Koska Radio in Maastricht.
