A wide spectrum of fast ravy sounds and hard acid techno amplifies Eyad‘s tonality. Syrian born and raised and now Berlin based, he believes in the congeniality and energy that materializes when people come together in music and wants to convey and deliver this with his sets - hard and fast for togetherness and excess.

Von trockenen und prägnanten Techno-Beats bis hin zu herzöffnenden Rave-Sounds, von hypnotischen Trance-Lines bis hin zu beunruhigenden Ambient-Tunes - Heise weiß, wie er seine elektronische Klaviatur spielt. Ob im Studio, wo er mit analogen Drumcomputern und einem modularen Synthesizer-System seine eigenen Tracks komponiert und produziert, oder hinter dem DJ-Pult, wo der notorische Vinyl-Liebhaber seine ausgefeilten Mixing-Skills zur Schau stellt. Immer synchron, immer mit Hingabe, immer mit vollem Einsatz.

Fred

GOŚCIŃSKA

She cultivated her passion for electronic music in the hometown of Warsaw. After moving to Spain in 2016, she converted from a raver to a DJ the moment she started missing the harder face of music in the area she lived. Berlin, the current home-base, invited her to explore different styles and genres, to go outside of the comfort zone.

The ever-evolving music interests and love for rhythmic variety brought GOŚCIŃSKA to delve into various styles that she blends in her sets. Melting moody electro with groovy techno; breakbeat with 4x4 rhythms or smashing a techno set spiced up with acid, breaks, punk, D’n’B is what you can expect.

Crafting her performances around the concept of the event, the location and the time slot is what she pays careful attention to. High empathy and crowd connection is what makes GOŚCIŃSKA a versatile DJ full of revelations.

GOŚCIŃSKA is currently hosting a radio show on the London Aaja Music radio under the szlag project @szlag.my.pitch.up, where she invites prominent electronic music artists to show their non-club music selection they never get to play in clubs, all the while promoting promising newcomers.

Working on the program and organization of her brainchild @sfora_art is what she does when not behind the decks.

HOMOSOM XY

Study: Homosexuality Mystery Solved

Scientists may have finally solved the puzzle of what makes a person gay. Doctor Newbeard and her team of experts created a mathematical model that explains how „queerness“ originates from a certain, newly discovered Chromosome Type: HOMOSOM XY. Subsequent experiments based on rhythmic high-tempo consistency schemes showed that carriers of such chromosome respond highly euphoric when exposed to certain sub-genres of electronic dance music, falling into a trance like state.

In order to find out more about this curious chromosome, Doctor Newbeard will once again perform a newly designed field experiment. With the help of sophisticated Technology the test subjects (ravers) will be acoustically stimulated with a mix of sub-genres like Euro Disco, Acid House and Detroit Techno.

Participants of this field study are highly advised to drink enough water during the experiment, to take care of fellow ravers and prepare for highly physical sensations… cause shit is about to go down

“Gaydies and Femtlemen. Thank you for choosing HOMOSOM XY for your next irrational escalation.

Materia Hache

Materia Hache is that silence that opens for constant change: it is Queer, it is Techno, it is House; it is what is born from fear, distance and uncertainty; it is all that is tried to be kept invisible while from the underground we answer with rhythms that displace us, that question us, that turn us into only one matter, for a few moments, more loudly than any given form.

From their collective @otherstothefront they fight to create a dancefloor that deserves to be danced, giving visibility and voice to the FLINTA & BIPOC community.

Vivi Wahnsinn

Schnallt euch an, hier kommt Vivi Wahnsinn - der Name ist Programm:

Zwischen juicy booty Tech House und Autonomen Zentrum badass-boss-b*tch Abriss - Get ready to (t)werk!

Lets get down to the flooor!

Vivi Wahnsinn

Vivi Wahnsinn was dragged to the dancefloor unintentionally but found herself disappointed as none of the performing artists quite matched her taste at full scale. So without thinking twice, she threw herself into the art of djing to develop her very own style and to please fellow dancers.

By creating her distinct approach to house music, she was soon booked to various events at Odonien in her hometown Cologne, Nachtigall or Kit Kat in Berlin, just to name a few.

Her style is best described as dirty, bouncy Tech House laced with catchy vocal edits. Playing a wide range from minimalistic house to absolute G House bangers, she is always able to hold the energy on a very high level in a little bit trashy, little bit nasty way. Same as lemons being sour-sweet but you can’t get enough of it.

If you cannot find her behind the decks on her own, she is probably heating things up as a part of @latzundleder.

Xynia

In Xynia’s DJ sets she creates a pulsating union of early Hardstyle classics and modern productions. An invitation to forget yourself in the moment, to follow the stomp of your feet. Without compromise, she takes dancers on a journey.
