Aril Brikha

Aril Brikha (born 1976) is an Assyrian techno musician, recognized globally for his contributions to the genre. After relocating to Sweden, he gained further recognition when he was nominated for Best Dance Album at the Swedish National Radio Gold Gala contest.

Early life Brikha was born in Iran, and grew up in Jönköping. He started playing the keyboard at the age of seven. By 17, Brikha started using a sequencer, and composing music. The term "Detroit Techno" was used by his friends to describe it, akin to records by Robert Hood and Berlin's Basic Channel. In 2020 he released his album Dance Of A Trillion Stars on Mule Musiq. It consisted of eight songs which were slower and more trance-influenced than his other work. This was followed by the dance-floor-focused album Prisma later that year.
