Dorian Concept is a vehicle for the young Austrian musician Oliver Thomas Johnson. He released on labels such as Affine, TLM, and Ninja Tune. In 2009 his full-length debut,
When Planets Explode came out on Nod Navigators, an offshoot of the Kindred Spirits label. Johnson is something of a synth wizard, his numerous Youtube posts with titles such as "Fooling around on Micro Korg" have tallied up millions of views in total.
Fuseing hiphop, synthetic funk, chrome-plated keyboard sounds and boogie bass that unite both nodding rhythm nerds and hip-swinging go-go dancers. His highly improvised live performances have taken him around the globe.
