Nik Matern is an electronic music producer and dj, founder of Plankton Repellent label, pioneer of dark minimal genre. He is known under various aliases, each devoted to different genre. Planctophob is one of Matern's main projects, which was created in 2012. According to the main idea, "Planctophob" is a person who's only fear is becoming an aimlessly, desultory existing part of drifting mass. Planctophob is not just a separate person. It's a form of thinking, a manifestation of will and awareness, an instrument of conscious intention. Being Planctophob means avoiding the pointlessness of existing.
