LINEUP


Miki _DBX, InteractiveTest, Sun Generation Records

Miki is a DJ and producer considered by those in the know as one of the architects of the electronic movement, with a discography reaching back to 1986 under multiple names and aliases including Major Hypnotic Key Institute and Miki The Dolphin, on labels including DBX, Interactive Test, Howl & his own Sun Generation Records. His DJ sets are high-level avant-garde journeys in technique and musical research, ranging from total psychedelia to a more natural reality. A true pioneer, he was one of the first DJs to give life to clubs like Jaiss, Insomnia, Duplè, Satellite and Taotec, as well as phenomena like Mezzanotte-Mezzogiorno at Club Imperiale, The West and events like Exogroove, Torquemada and many others.


Bliss Inc. _Magicwire / Radiant Love

Nodding to genre-melted decades of the past, Bliss Inc. is the manifestation of a sonic ritual intent on guiding us through the internal journey towards self-discovery. With releases on Magic Wire & Radiant Love have been heard in clubs and mixes across the world, finding their way into the hearts of music lovers who longed for the art of progression back in its purest form.


Bambi _Androgyne / Macadam

Bambi has been making waves in the music scene in the last years with DJ sets across the continent and a series of impressive mixes for Rinse France and Radiant Love. She is a resident at Nantes-based Androgyne & Macadam and an activist for French group Consentis, promoting safe spaces and sex-positivity. Her nuanced, cosmic sets fuelled with techno, house, breaks and trance influences betray a solid knowledge of dance culture and a genre-breaking ethos all her own.


Solaris _PH17 / Rinse FM

Coming from a punk background, Solaris is a very eclectic DJ rooted in fast techno, UK-bass, footwork, deconstructed club and broken rhythms. In 2017, she co-founded the Leipzig-based imprint PH17 focusing on experimental club music together with Stanley Schmidt, with who she also performs and produces together as Monsanto High. A Leipzig resident since 2012, Solaris became the main booker of Institut fuer Zukunft from 2014 to 2017 & hosts a monthly show on Rinse FM featuring upcoming artists from the Leipzig scene.


Laylla Dane _Brainsurgery / Wake Up Stranjah

Unfortunately Maara couldn't be with us this time, stepping in: Laylla Dane, curator of Wake Up Stran-Jah Festival in Bulgaria and esteemed DJ with the Brainsurgery crew, in the excellent company of Jane Fitz, Carl H, Eric Cloutier and more.


Frederik Tollund _Group Therapy / Ved Siden Af

Once called ‘A defiant pillar of the Copenhagen scene’ in a low-rated YouTube comment, Frederik Tollund is a DJ/producer committed to and shaped by Copenhagen’s underground rave community and co-founder & resident, respectively, of Group Therapy & Ved Siden Af, where the GT collective host their regular club nights. Frederik is known for his high-energy closings, all-nighter sets and recent productions on Another Name and Radiant Love.


Carlo & Selma _Group Therapy / Ved Siden Af

Co-founders and residents at the bi-monthly series of therapeutic dancing sessions Group Therapy, Carlo & Selma is a Scandi-Latino duo delivering untamed flows of energy, propulsive buildups and exhilarating morning rides. Dynamic and genre-fluid, they bring together a feisty mix of old-school stomping grooves, chopped-up breaks, trance and disco oddities sprinkled with bouncy 90s gems primed for ecstatic workouts or galactic excursions. All backed with feel-good gay anthems.


Samuel Gieben _Hypersoft

Esoteric DJ and breaks enthusiast Samuel hails from Edinburgh, Scotland where he started his DJ career at the tender age of 16, throwing jungle/drum&bass parties with friends. Now, he co-runs Hypersoft together with DJ Teeth in Berlin, where he has been omnipresent over the past years both in the booth and behind the scenes of various labels, collectives, clubs and parties including Renate & Love On The Rocks.


DJ TEETH _Hypersoft

An elixir of mad acid house, techno and trance, analog synthesizer & Belgian new beat twists & psychedelic space progressive barely begins to cover it. Co-founder of Berlin queer collective Hypersoft and resident at Popoff Kitchen, DJ Teeth is a collector hailing from Buenos Aires residing between London and Berlin. He recently made his debut at Cocktail D’Amore, where an early passion for his mother’s 80s vinyl collection & his own youthful adventures in secretly rented VHS porn came full circle in ways equally logical and ecstatic.
