“Born and Raised in Berlin.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Born and Raised in Berlin. With Austrian and Afro- American roots. At various Berlin Youth events he built a reputation with young creative individuals flocking his sets. Through early club impressions and a penchant for nostalgia, his sound has consolidated over time. Its eclectic selection surprises in genres where many seem to know there is nothing new. Many genres are served, from Acid House, Techno, Ballroom to East German Schranz. It's all in the mix. This is where its craving for rhythm lingers, staying consistently in tune no matter what the BPM.often with travaspango, Eric D. Clark, Dmitra, none of them here that night
“Dutch-born, Berlin-based DJ Laure Croft lives by the mantra ‘keep it sexy’.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Dutch-born, Berlin-based DJ Laure Croft lives by the mantra ‘keep it sexy’. When behind the decks she takes approach for the moment of release in the most powerful dancefloor experiences, when clothes come off and the energy reaches fever pitch. This sensual attitude manifests in the way she plays – a constant rush of high-intensity techno with little respite as she rips through a collection which spans the mid 90s to the mid 00s. She’s no vinyl elitist, but in touching a pair of Technics she found an internal excitement which was lacking from CDJs, where the tension around the mix and the story embedded in the grooves of a record feed into the energy of the party. She glides through her record bag after ceaseless hours of digging and selecting with an instinctive code which defines her unique sound. As her identity as a DJ takes an upwards curve, Laure views her path as a quest to continually find the tracks which fit her particular creative vision, pulling together the pieces of the puzzle from decades of techno culture carved into a near-infinite pool of uptempo, forward-facing machine music. As a woman in a male-dominated scene, she also pushes for a more inclusive climate on all regards, and considers her ever-increasing visibility an opportunity to inspire and enact positive change. With her husky Roxy (named after one of the first queer underground music clubs in Amsterdam) by her side, she holds true to techno’s inherent futurism by creating something new and ever-evolving from the already existing music she discovers and blends. The end result is a sound which celebrates honesty and integrity in the face of modern life’s rampant, paper-thin perfectionism.Last at Loone in Aug · often with ROBUS, SUMME, HAMY, none of them here that night
“Meg10 moves like someone who understands clubs as cultural pressure points and playgrounds for self-expression.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Meg10 moves like someone who understands clubs as cultural pressure points and playgrounds for self-expression. Rooted in hip-hop and reggaeton, and sharpened by years inside Europe’s more uncompromising dance floors, the Berlin-based DJ has spent the last nine years shaping a sound that sits somewhere between politics and pleasure: bass-heavy, polyrhythmic, and unapologetically femme. Her path runs through rooms that carry real weight: Berghain, Tresor and Watergate in Berlin, Razzmatazz in Barcelona, Drugstore in Belgrade, Le Bain in New York, Axis Club in Chengdu. In 2025, she closed ADE with her club night Hoe__mies and appeared at defining parties including Riposte at Electrowerkz and HOWL Pride Fest in London, Pornceptual in Berlin, and En1gma in Madrid. Festival stages followed: WHOLE, Horst, Pukkelpop, Fusion, Wireless, and Sonder in Australia. Alongside this, her eye for image and style has led to ongoing relationships with houses like Bottega Veneta and Mugler, placing her at an easy intersection of nightlife and fashion without feeling ornamental to either. Her touring has steadily stretched outward. Two Australia tours, an Asia run across China, Hong Kong and Thailand, club dates in New York and Chicago, and most recently a first run through Latin America, with stops during Carnaval in Brazil, Buenos Aires, and a self-curated Hoe__mies party in Lima. Through Hoe__mies, she has also built a network of nights promoting shows across Tokyo, Melbourne, London, Glasgow, Paris, Lisbon, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Brussels, and connecting local scenes through collaboration, friendship and a shared sense of intent.often with Mobilegirl, Bad Puppy, Saint Nia, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Defined by a technically-deft skill set (Resident Advisor recently proclaimed: “Now this is how you mix techno”) Rachel Noon is a fearless and uncompromising presence both behind the decks and on the dancefloor. Despite her rising European acclaim and recent appointment as resident DJ of Pornceptual, Noon attributes her significant career strides to her hometown of NYC and to Brooklyn's inspiring underground queer scene. Active as both artist and raver there, she successfully fostered a vibrant community of friends and like-minded peers. This community gave rise to her roaming event series LARGE MARGE which has since expanded internationally, with exciting plans ahead. Now from her home-turf Berlin, Noon has co-founded the intimate queer party series mp3, which has rapidly gained popularity in just two short years. If you ask Noon, her most exciting artistic initiative is currently going down inside the studio; she and her friend Steffen Dix have teamed up to form Self Care Starter Pack (or simply, SCSP), a production and live performance duo. Together they have cultivated a process-driven practice whose work takes a nose-dive towards hardware-only experimentation and the integration of optics into performance. Their first single was already released on the mighty Mala Junta x Amniote Editions compilation, and the duo debuted their live set in the fall of 2023 in Berlin. Rachel Noon, a true dancefloor devotee, has been hailed "equal parts DJ and rave spirit."Their RA profile lists Fast Forward Productions.often with Carly Zeng, Mike Servito, Ne/Re/A, none of them here that night

softchaos is the pseudonym of Tere Stout, the Ecuadorian-American dj, multidisciplinary artist, and dancefloor evangelist. Both thoughtful and commanding, softchaos’ sets are watermarked by their meticulous pairing of groove-driven music along with aggressive percussive tracks in unison, experimenting with genre meticulously in acts of black reclamation. Embracing this practice, their sound embodies reverence to techno while staying locked into the new turn in electronic music, blending with finesse. Their versatility is seen in the range of their schedule, from their one-of-a-kind sets at and Primavera Sound, Sónar Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event and CTM to club nights at RSO, Tresor, Fabric London, Nitsa and Razzmatazz. softchaos is undoubtedly at the forefront of playfully avant-garde and disobedient electronic music at home and international stages alike. Harnessing their punk ethos, and referencing classic landscapes of New York City and Detroit, their selection of techno, breaks, and rebellious sounds offer a transcontinental call and response and an offering to dancefloors everywhere.often with Cora, ROBUS, Coco Calypso, none of them here that night

His parents love for dance music made him fall in love with the energy of house and techno at a young age. Fast forward 20 something years later and Spikey Lee is playing gigs at his homebase Amsterdam and is traveling through Europe to spread his love & knowledge for electronic music.

He fills the room with a combination of 90’s techno, hard house, hard groove, booty bangers, acid and some trippy jump tracks.
