Mikhail Rodionov is a Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist, producer and studio owner with 17+ years in music production and nine years of documented professional experience leading multidisciplinary sonic projects. As founder and frontman of The Retuses and ART UNION/label CASTLELOCK, he blends analog tape-era gear with modern DAWs (Logic Pro X, Apogee systems) to create genre-defying work spanning trip-hop, IDM, baroque pop and experimental live setups. He has scored film and commercial projects (including Petrov's Flu, Adidas and Nokia campaigns) and curated ambitious live performances across major European festivals and concert halls. Known for deep expertise in analog saturation, field recording and bespoke signal chains, he also leverages visual tools like TouchDesigner and Final Cut to expand theatrical and multimedia aspects of his productions. An unusual strength is his hands-on ownership of vintage studio hardware (Studer, Urei, classic mics and tape echoes), which he uses to craft uniquely textured recordings that blur the line between studio and performance.
