Kobzev
Now based in Berlin, the Ukrainian-born DJ and producer is navigating the city’s underground, known for a sound that is as atmospheric as it is uncompromising.
His sets are a workout in tension and timing, drawing from his affiliation with Orbit Berlin and labels such as Intergalactic Research Institute for Sound (STAUB), Xelima Records, 59bel Records, Minimal Force Records, Trashera, Concrete Berlin and more. By capturing fleeting moments in time and reshaping them into driving, rhythmic narratives, he creates a dancefloor experience that honors techno’s history while pushing steadily into the future.
His performance history bridges the gap between legendary foundations and contemporary innovators. Having shared lineups with industry stalwarts such as Chris Liberator, Sleeparchive, Stanislav Tolkachev, Irakli, Ly Sas, Denise Rabe, Mike Konstantinidis, Exos, Ryan James Ford, Ben Sims, Lewis Fautzi, DJ Emerson, Carmen Electro, Tapefeed, Mode_1 and more, he remains dedicated to the craft of the "moment"—where art, sound, and the audience collide.

Their rooms
One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2025, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.
- RenateSep 2025 – Dec 20252 nights
Once each: ://about blank, Bredouille and Crack Bellmer. One of the 6 listings never named a room, and is not counted as one.
Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.

The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography, the labels and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. Nothing on this page was written for it.
