    their own biography

    the whole biography
    A true lover of breakbeats, Anna's electronic sound takes inspiration from her roots in gritty East Coast hip hop, as well as in vibrant and rhythmic Puerto Rican genres. Her longstanding connection to hip hop naturally evolved into a love for breakbeats and electro, while exposure to UK genres further broadened her musical perspective. She soon became involved in Berlin’s bass and jungle communities. While her sound carries a distinct UK influence, Anna's sets are global, often featuring productions from Iran, Japan, Egypt, Australia and beyond. Each performance is a dynamic fusion of styles, rhythms, and tempos, layered with acid and lethal bass. Anna is now part of a FLINTA soundsystem crew that has built a deep bass-focused system aimed at expanding and diversifying the Berlin rave landscape through bass-driven and break-oriented sounds. She also co-hosts Chaotic Goods on Subtle Radio, a show dedicated to blending UK bass and low-end textures with rhythms from Latin America and beyond, including reggaetón, dembow and related styles.

    “Driven by a post-genre sensibility, his shapeshifting musical output bends tension, texture and groove through leftfield optics, playfully weaving his Latin heritage with elements of soundsystem culture into abstract, whimsical and kaleidoscopic club music.”

    the whole biography
    Driven by a post-genre sensibility, his shapeshifting musical output bends tension, texture and groove through leftfield optics, playfully weaving his Latin heritage with elements of soundsystem culture into abstract, whimsical and kaleidoscopic club music. Holding a frequent presence on underground airwaves, he has racked up appearances on Shella Radio, Radio Tempo Não Pára, Radio Radio FM, East Side Radio, Clyde Built Radio and Radio Buena Vida. On home turf, he hosts Uneven Oscillation at Refuge Worldwide, a show that knits together the narrative threads of Música Popular Brasileira from the 70s to the present, tracing tonal and sentimental parallels with adjacent sounds spanning post-bop jazz, progressive folk rock and experimental electronic music. As an independent promoter, he curates events where community takes center stage, showcasing emerging local talents alongside established names of the underground such as Appleblim, Dangermami, Chediak, DJ Plead and ophélie. Now part of VINTENOVE BAILES, acting as a resident DJ and booker, courtroom drama reaffirms a commitment to amplifying diasporic narratives in underground electronic music. 2026 marks the release year of Liquid Absence: an off-kilter, tactile yet mischievous 4-track split EP with Frankfurt-based neeyuu.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    After learning piano and guitar as a child, her path naturally led to the decks, where she channels her energy and hypersensitivity into powerful, emotional sets. Her sound is one characterised by unique contrasts and combinations with a root interest in organic instrumentation and a keen interest in the deeper shades of Disco, House, Techno and Electroclash being melded effectively in her productions and DJ sets. Dancefloor-oriented and emotionally driven, her sets are designed to connect, move, and energize. As a dedicated producer, she works relentlessly in the studio, crafting tracks that have found a home on respected labels like Exploited, Jeahmon!, Phisica, and Lumière Noire. In 2019, she founded Critical Monday, where she dropped the single « Don’t » which immediately garnered success, supported by Dixon and Jennifer Cardini. Dedicated to the electrifying fusion of techno and rock, Critical Monday is definitevely dedicated to club music, as evident in the releases by Curses, Rafael Cerato, Shubostar, Tony Y Not, Günce Aci, and Mala Ika.

  • Mila Stern

    Berlin · 20 bookings since Aug 2025

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Her calm, commanding skill as a selector rapidly led to appearances at premier festivals like Fusion, Nation of Gondwana, and Garbicz, and residencies at Berlin's legendary Kater club and the former Station Endlos in Halle. Since then, she has transcended the boundaries of the Berlin underground, bringing her standout style to the international circuit from Mexico to Kazakhstan. What sets Mila's high-intensity brand of Techno apart is a willingness to embrace unorthodox sounds and explore the beauty in harshness and dissonance. Sharpening her vision and increasing the intensity over the years, she has since gravitated toward more hypnotic, percussion-heavy forms. Channeling raw and restless momentum that holds space without demanding it, her otherworldly soundscapes and unrelenting kinetic energy merge deliberate bluntness with a beautifully refined and eclectic array of sounds. As a DJ, she transports the same directness: from high-energy peak-time appearances to the mesmeric extended closings she became known for, Mila's sets deliver purist energy arcs that encapsulate the non-judgmental freedom and expressiveness of the rave circuit free of nebulous superstructures. From the early days, Mila's sound has been informed by a sense of counterculture and breaking normative boundaries. She draws on risqué sounds, has boldly carved out her niche, and relentlessly pursues her vision despite the antagonism female DJs and producers faced in the late 2000s and still do today. As a DJ, producer, event organizer, former radio host, and stage curator, she pushes the envelope, rejects the status quo, and is driven to take her aesthetic to the limit. Few artists move on the fringe so comfortably, make avant-garde so accessible, or pursue their vision with the same bright-eyed conviction. Mila Stern brings her groove-driven eclecticism to sound systems across the world, challenging paradigms in dance music, and forging a genre of her own.
    Their RA profile lists Acker Records, Feines Tier, SPRINGSTOFF, Kiosk I.D. and 1 more.
