Dorian Concept is the stage name of Viennese producer, composer and keyboardist Oliver Thomas Johnson (born 16 September 1984). His music moves fluidly between modal jazz, funk, hip-hop and experimental electronics - less a genre blend than a genre dissolution. He has toured as keyboardist in Flying Lotus's live band, contributed to the album 'Cosmogramma', and performed alongside the Cinematic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall. In late 2023 he launched his own label, Play Instinct, giving him full control over his releases.
Dorian Concept announces the joint album 'Answers' with Bibio, released on October 16, 2026 via Warp Records.
The single 'Shame' by Bibio & Dorian Concept is released as a preview of the upcoming joint album.
Dorian Concept releases 'Miniatures' via his own label Play Instinct: a collection of his renowned one-take synthesizer recordings, compiled over nearly two decades.
The EP 'Music From A Room Full Of Synths', recorded live at the Swiss Museum for Electronic Musical Instruments (SMEM), is released via the label -OUS.
The album 'Cuchaule' is released on November 15, 2024 via -OUS.
