Producer and DJ Ae:ther has launched Ae:ther • Selects, a new Patreon channel giving fans and aspiring producers access to his creative process for the first time. The project brings together exclusive sample packs, breakdowns of his productions, unreleased tracks, and private feedback sessions, offering a closer look at the ideas and techniques behind his music.
“Ae:ther • Selects isn’t a content shop. It’s selected access to the way I work,” the producer explains. “I’m looking for selected artists who want to grow and truly understand how a track is made, not just listen to it.” The initiative also reflects a longer-standing ambition to connect with emerging talent. “I’ve always been drawn to the idea of finding the right producers. It could lead to a community, which in turn could lead to other projects, such as a record label, for example.”

Membership is divided into three monthly tiers. The Loft (€10) includes an exclusive monthly DJ mix featuring unreleased IDs, a selection of tracks Ae:ther is currently playing, behind-the-scenes content, and access to a private Discord community. The Studio (€30) adds monthly breakdowns of his productions, downloads of upcoming releases, and premium sample packs drawn from his projects.
The limited Mentor tier (€75) is aimed at producers looking for more personal guidance. Capped at 15 members, it includes a private 30-minute Zoom session each month for feedback on their tracks, alongside bootlegs and unreleased music, priority access to events and workshops, and Ableton Live project elements.
The educational focus will center on creativity, arrangement, and musical development. “The important thing is always to find the right ideas and the right ‘glue’ to make the track work,” Ae:ther says, emphasizing the importance of simplicity and practicality in a constantly evolving club music landscape.
Alongside the technical and creative aspects of production, Ae:ther also hopes to help emerging artists develop a healthier perspective on their careers. “It’s comparing themselves to others and scrolling through social media that give them a distorted view of clubbing and music,” he says. “I think it’s important to listen to music in the right way to try and connect with the audience you want to reach.”
Born in Rome and now based in Berlin, Ae:ther has built a reputation for his distinctive sound design, atmospheric melodies, and driving rhythms. His productions combine technical precision with emotional depth, reflecting his ability to create immersive electronic music that connects with listeners while retaining its dance floor energy.
Since his debut release in 2017, the Solaris EP with Mind Against on Afterlife, he has released music on labels including Afterlife, Crosstown Rebels, Upperground, and Siamese. His productions have received support from global acts such as Tale Of Us, Adriatique, Damian Lazarus, ARTBAT, Armin van Buuren, and Joris Voorn.
Ae:ther • Selects is available now on Patreon, with subscriptions starting at €10 per month.
