Finding light
from the dark
VAMPS — minimal house and techno producer streaming live music production. Follow for dark grooves, generative techniques, and studio sessions at the intersection of technology and art.
Born in Brașov, Romania — thirty miles from Dracula's Castle — VAMPS channels the dark romance of Transylvanian heritage into minimal house and techno that moves through shadow and groove.
Formerly performing as ROMiii, VAMPS has played countless festivals and venues across the Bay Area. Now streaming live music production — sampling minor modes, crafting groovy, dark, and occasionally beautiful malaise.
The philosophy is simple: optimism through pessimism — the shared burden we all feel is what unites us. Drawing from generative techniques and four-on-the-floor foundations, every session is an invitation to find something unexpected in the void.
