Misanthrop

Michael Bräuninger, known by his artist name Misanthrop, is an independent electronic music producer, DJ, and label owner (Neosignal Recordings) from Heilbronn, Germany. Since 2005, he has worked professionally as a drum-and-bass producer and, over the years, has released six studio albums—including four solo LPs (Misanthrop, Analog, Universe and Trashworld.) and two collaborative albums (Raum und Zeit and From Deep Space).



With over 20 years of relentless work on his own musical and artistic visions, he has made a name for himself in both audio and video production and has become a key figure in the international drum-and-bass scene. His unmistakable, energetic, timeless sound has earned him an impressive discography, including his solo albums as well as two collaboration albums (From Deep Space and Raum und Zeit), and successful EPs on labels such as RAM Records and Blackout. Releases on OWSLA, Mau5trap, Shogun, Critical, Division, Renegade Hardware, Shadow Law, Cyanide, and Subtitles Music round out his portfolio.



His own label, Neosignal Recordings, serves as a platform to realise his

own visions as well as those of other artists. He receives support from international heavyweights such as Sub Focus, A.M.C, Imanu, Buunshin, Culture Shock, Ed Rush, Black Sun Empire, Phace, Mefjus, and many more.



As a DJ, Misanthrop has played in some of the most renowned clubs and at major festivals worldwide. His sets stand out due to precise mixing, modern sound aesthetics, and a wellbalanced mix of deep rollers, dancefloor bangers, and experimental beats.



Misanthrop is not an artist who follows trends or adapts to others; instead, he consistently follows his own path. He has shaped the scene for years, always focusing on the quality and emotion of his music. For him, the creative process is the key to personal freedom and satisfaction.
