Third Culture is an electrifying duo comprised of Sacha Robotti and Sian, two visionary artists who have consistently redefined their own boundaries of electronic music. Each of their individual musical journeys now meets at the apex of collaboration and cultural fusion, resulting in a captivating sonic experience that transcends genres and resonates with audiences worldwide.
Hailing from diverse backgrounds, Sacha with his German-Italian heritage, and Sian with his Irish-Spanish roots, embrace their individual cultural identities while seamlessly blending elements from different musical traditions, which is evident in their collective prior releases on the likes of Drumcode, Aus Music, Sci + Tec, Relied and Stir Von Talent to name a few. Add their own label imprints in Octopus (Sian) and Slothacid (Sacha) and it’s clear this creative synergy is the foundation upon which Third Culture thrives.
Third Culture’s dedication to pushing artistic boundaries is evident in their ever-evolving discography. From early single releases on Octopus, it was no surprise to see their first of two full EPs under the Third Culture moniker be picked up by none other than Solomun for his Dynamic label in late 2022. Such an early co-sign saw support from heavyweights such Tale of Us, Michael Bibi, Maceo Plex and Camelphat to name a few and prompted Solomun to invite them to make their TC debut, playing before him on his 8000-capacity sold-out show in LA before signing a second 4 track EP to the label in March 2023.
With a third EP recently dropped on Maceo Plex’s ‘Lone Romantic’ label in June 2023, it’s clear that the duo have exploded out of the blocks with much more to come.
To celebrate this release, the duo has recorded a new exclusive mix for our Select Cuts series. Enjoy!
