Known for his exceptional control behind the decks, Metodi crafts seamless mixes that move between tension and release, keeping the energy of the crowd constantly alive. His live sets are recognized for their deep basslines, precise transitions, and hypnotic progression — always emphasizing the emotional experience.

As a producer, Hristov’s workflow is deeply rooted in the balance between analog warmth and digital precision. He often uses modular synths, drum machines, and custom effects to sculpt his unique sound. His approach to production is minimalistic but powerful, focusing on clarity, structure, and atmosphere. Each track represents a reflection of his mood and artistic growth — blending deep textures, organic percussion, and dark melodic motifs.

Beyond the studio, Metodi is known as a promoter and mentor to younger artists. Through workshops, masterclasses, and collaborations, he supports the next generation of electronic musicians.
