Artist Spotlight! Isolated System
First, introduce yourself
My name is Fabian Sietsema, I’m 25 years old and I live in Groningen. I am the founder of Black Mirror Recordings, a label specifically aimed at techno music.
How did the idea to start a label came to life?
During my student life I came into contact with underground music, including deep house and techno. I had heard about it before, but didn’t really know what it was. A friend of mine who produces music showed me what he was doing, and this motivated me to start producing myself. The idea to start a techno label came to life last year, when I was producing a lot and came into contact with a relative who also had a record label.
How long are you producing?
Since 2014, so about 4 years.

What can we expect of you in 2018?
