►FULL BIO OF INLAND
ALIAS: ED DAVENPORT
LABEL OWNER: COUNTERCHANGE
RECORDING ARTIST ON: A-TON, NY INFRASTRUCTURE, NAIF, Figure, Ostgut Ton
RESIDENT: Berghain
Inland (real name Ed Davenport) is a British producer, DJ and founder of Counterchange Recordings based in Berlin. Known for his detailed and explorative techno releases on Counterchange, Infrastructure, Naïf and more, Inland’s debut LP on Ostgut Ton sub-label A-TON was released in September 2018.
A collaboration with conceptual artist Julian Charrière, ‘An Invitation To Disappear’ translates Davenport’s soundtrack for Charrière’s gallery-based video installation into eight tracks of rhythmically intricate electronics and spectral techno. Tracking through a palm oil plantation toward a totemic soundsystem on full blast, the LP and the film was debuted live at Berghain in September.
A passion for timeless, cerebral and hypnotic strains of electronic music led to the release of Davenport’s first wave of productions in 2006, characterised by a deeper strain of minimal house earlier on (records on German labels Gumption and Liebe*Detail) to a moody, broken-beat techno hybrid that peaked with key releases such as ‘More Red Lights’ on classic UK label NRK in 2011 and his ‘Counterchange’ LP the following year. His modernist, minimal-music indebted releases as Ed Davenport on Mano Le Tough, Baikal and The Drifter’s Maeve label (‘Silver Walks’ EP, 2015, ‘Mendocino’, 2018) championing a unique skill for storytelling.
As Inland today his busy output stands for purist and inherently progressive rhythmic work; grounded in the romantic traditions of early Techno yet driven by a constant search for new ground, textures and studio-techniques. Working closely alongside US artist, Function, between 2014 and 2017, the pair released the comeback record for Function’s classic Infrastructure label, with their critically acclaimed ‘Odeon / Rhyl’ EP and went on to compile the heavyweight ‘Facticity’ compilation, also teaming up with the timeless Colwyn Bay in 2016. Simultaneously, since 2013, Davenport’s own Counterchange label has notched up over 10 releases – the idiosyncratic ‘Solstice’ EP (2013) a blueprint for the Inland sound. Primarily a home for his own productions, the label also put out music from his contemporaries including Boddika, BNJMN, Cassegrain & Tin Man, Distant Echoes and Pharaoh & Yogg.
In recent years Davenport has gravitated more and more towards the contemporary art world, finding inspiration in the fruitful cross-pollination happening in Berlin’s art and music scenes. Earlier sound design collaborations with Charrière have been exhibited in institutions in Lausanne (‘Somewhere’, 2014), Vienna (‘Iroojrilik’, 2017) and Mainz (‘An Invitation To Disappear’, 2018) while Davenport also made a soundtrack for duo Wermke / Leinkauf’s ‘4. Halbzeit’ video installation – part of the prestigious Berliner Herbstsalon at the Maxim Gorki Theatre, Berlin 2017.

► B.A.X.
Born in 1989 in Ho Chi Minh City – Vietnam, Bach was taught to play the piano when he was eight years old. Later on he took academic piano lessons at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, graduated the Intermediate Long-term program in 2009 and achieved the Piano Bachelor’s degree in 2014. Bach has been playing the piano for more than 10 years now and this impressive sound has had a big influence on his music career ever since he started playing. He then discovered his passion of composing music and started his own project ‘B.A.X.’ at the age of 18. He has spent a lot of time to do research about electronic music and composed his first New Age / Ambient works.
He stepped into the movie filmscore in 2010 and started composing many filmscore for several short films, later on composing filmscore for feature movies from 2014, some of those are “Sweet 20” or “The Girl From Yesterday” directed by Phan Gia Nhat Linh.
He started the DJ career since 2012 with Heart Beat Saigon and since 2016 with HRBR (Harbour Saigon). Through many years of cultivation, the color of his Deep House music has gradually become an unforgettable symbol, a color that melody and harmony are the main euphonious factor. On the dance floor, he develops the music in different angles that you never know what is interesting to expect next, his selection of tracks will make everyone crawl out of their shell, as the music becomes the cocoon.
From here on, he began to produce electronic music for his own dance floor. In 2018, his first EP ‘Microcrystals’ was released on MNL sub-label from Paul Hazendonk, the release has been miraculously praised by Paul himself as well as other well-known artists. Also in this year, his track ‘Hallucination Rain’ in the Muak Sampler compilation on Muak Music label, making him more recognizable in the global scene. Following in early 2019 was a highlight when he dropped down ‘Moongazer’ EP on Manual Deep and ‘Nature’s Hymn’ EP on 3rd Avenue, in summer 2019 for the first time featuring his track ‘Pongour Falls’ in SC2019 compilation on HOSH’s imprint FRYHIDE.
In 2019, he established his new label Holy Grail Music in his hometown, focusing on his passion for melodic electronic music. As he said, this imprint was a dream that he have cherished for years, an opportunity to gradually expand the music production and connection with local artists as well as artists around the world.
