Deranged

@deranged · London

Deranged is a Lithuanian-born, London-based techno DJ and producer known for his rolling basslines, hypnotic rhythms, and groove-driven minimalism. In 2018, he moved to London to pursue his artistic vision, quickly embedding himself in the city’s underground scene and performing at a range of venues and raves across the capital. In 2020, he founded Insignia Collective—a crew focused on pushing the hypnotic, groove-heavy side of techno through warehouse and open-air forest raves. The collective aimed to counter the rising trend of hard techno and spotlight a deeper, more rhythmic sound that was largely overlooked in London at the time, bringing a fresh dynamic to the city’s soundscape. In 2024, he became the first resident of the emerging Elata Collective, a rapidly growing community making its mark on the capital’s underground circuit. Deranged’s sets and productions are defined by a relentless groove, stripped-back yet powerful percussion, and an immersive, trance-inducing energy. He has released on labels like PRTL WRX, Aesir, Duplicity, Laburnūm and Canticle Records - earning support from respected names such as Setaoc Mass, Uväll, Vincent Neumann, BLANKA, Kaiser, Luke Slater, Richie Hawtin, MARRØN, Mikrotakt, KETCH and more. His music has been played in some of the best venues and festivals around the world - including Berghain, Tresor, Khidi, Bassiani, Radion, RSO, FOLD, Awakenings Festival and Stone Techno Festival.
