Eric OAKE (DE)

Eric OAKE is a German producer, performer, and Senior Product Designer at Native Instruments. His work exists at the intersection of art and technology, where human emotion meets machine precision. Through OAKE, he sculpts dense, cinematic sound worlds: ethereal vocals woven through industrial rhythms and shadowed atmospheres. With releases on Downwards, Stroboscopic Artefacts, SNTS, and 47, OAKE has become known for transforming techno into an architecture of feeling – romantic, brutalist, and immersive. Across both his design practice and musical work, Eric explores how tools shape creativity, continuously pushing instruments, interfaces, and experiences toward new emotional frontier
