Acrylic on Canvas welcomes a fresh and inspiring voice to its roster as Hrag Mikkel makes his label debut with ‘DigitouchM, a richly musical two-trck EP shaped by groove, depth, and heartfelt melodic storytelling. Curated by label founder Joone, the release brings a refined sonic identity to the imprint — one that embodies warmth, expression, and a seamless fusion of organic instrumentation with modern electronic design.

With roots as a bass and guitar player, Hrag Mikkel carries the instincts of a live musician into every piece of his production. ‘Digitouch’ reflects that background effortlessly: tactile grooves, fluid basslines, textured harmonies, and a sense of movement that feels alive. The EP bridges the emotional resonance of live performance with the precision and atmosphere of contemporary electronic music, resulting in a sound both intimate and club-ready.

Today, we shine a light on the beautifully crafted ‘Natural Manifest’, a standout track that captures the essence of Mikkel’s artistry. Organic yet sleek, melodic yet firmly grounded in rhythm, it unfolds like a story — one shaped by the producer’s lifelong relationship with music.

It’s no surprise: raised in a deeply musical household and shaped by years in rock bands before transitioning into electronic music, Hrag Mikkel has always been guided by narrative and emotional connection. His productions have taken him around the world, earning recognition for their unique blend of groove, storytelling, and organic color.

With ‘Digitouch’, he offers Acrylic on Canvas exactly what the label represents: authenticity, intention, and artfulness. A perfect match.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Natural Manifest’ by Hrag Mikkel exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
