Irradiation Patricia Enigl, aka Irradiation, is an electronic artist, DJ and club host as well as the co-initiator and manager of the Viennese label TEMP~, founded in 2003. With it, she has published four EPs; in 2014, two EPs and an album will be launched.
Irradiation has been active in music since 1989. In 1999, as a DJ and electronic artist, she was one of the first members of the »Soundpark« series on Radio FM4, where she came into contact with later members of the TEMP~ crew. In 2002, a cooperation for an audio-visual live set at the »Lange Nacht der Musik« was the starting point of a long collaboration with visual artist Mingo. In summer 2003, in reaction to the need to document and showcase the flourishing Austrian electronic music scene in an international context, the TEMP~ Electronic Music Festival was organised in Greifenstein near Vienna. In the same year, this resulted in the foundation of the TEMP~ label. TEMP~ quickly became an acclaimed networking platform for local and international artists, on which for example 550 Rondy, Digilog, Cosmanova, Evirgen, Kelvin Raah or Marcus Füreder released their work. Until 2009, the TEMP~ Festival was organised annually, and Irradiation’s curating gave momentum to Austrian music, audio-visuals and arts. The 2007 festival compilation is a rich 6-disk CD review of 40 bands and projects, including amongst others Wang Inc., Ravissa, Al-Haca or Karin Steinbinder. At the same time and over the following years, Irradiation hosted the regular club nights TEMP~eriert in locations like the rhiz.
