Born and raised in Vienna, salute started making music at the age of 13. Now based in Manchester, his career as a producer, songwriter and DJ has gone from strength to strength. 

Influenced by his love for video games, his broad reaching love of electronic music informs his production and DJ style, with close attention played to grime, electro and techno, citing Dizzee Rascal, Rustie and Hudson Mohawke as influences. Marking the 10 year anniversary of his EP “Lionheart” on Cool Kid Music, earned him a place as one of Vienna’s most sought after DJs and producers, before he was old enough to legally visit most of the clubs in his hometown. 

Now his music is more emotional in comparison. With a trilogy of releases forming the 2019 mixtape “Condition” and the single “JTS” being premiered as “Hottest Record in the World” by Annie Mac. 

We’re thrilled to be welcoming him to Manchester’s Soup Kitchen for a deep dive into his creative process.
