Since throwing her first party in 2015 and putting out her stellar debut EP, Electrical Encounters, on Peach Discs two years later, the Xi’an, China-born and Toronto, Canada- based Ciel has blazed a path as one of the hardest-working and most innovative artists in electronic music. Solo production highlights since Electrical Encounters include Hundred Flowers on Coastal Haze, Why Me? on Ghostly’s Spectral Sound, Orlando on !K7 Records, Ecstatic Editions vol. 1, the premiere release on Eris Drew’s vinyl-only label, and her pièce de résistance; the 2023 debut album Homesick, which she toured live internationally in 2024. Collaboratively, Ciel’s efforts are just as impressive, from the intricate, delicate Free EP with Kilig to the subterranean, propulsive Lunagenesis with Priori as Loopchasers. Excursions in bass and breaks with Dan Only as Cloudsteppers and murky, doofy cuts with CCL (on Tilda’s Goat Stare) and D.Tiffany (as Psychedelic Budz) further demonstrate Ciel’s versatility and seemingly boundless imagination, as do inventive remixes for the likes of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Jacques Greene, Seb Wildblood, Off the Meds and Adam Pits. An adventurous selector adept at stitching together disparate styles and genres, Ciel has played at some of the world’s most celebrated venues including fabric, Robert Johnson, De School, Hot Mass, Smartbar, Berghain Panorama Bar and Nowadays, and at beloved festivals such as Draaimolen, Dimensions, Movement Detroit and MUTEK. A typical DJ set might move through dreamy downtempo, wiggly tech house, psychedelic techno, UK bass, slamming speed garage, and hardgroove to work through a diverse range of dancefloors and moods, from deep and trippy to unabashedly euphoric. Community-minded and deeply principled, Ciel has always supported and promoted colleagues and causes she believes in and is currently organizing with Toronto’s chapter of Writers Against the War on Gaza. An outspoken advocate for equity and social justice in electronic music, her values are inextricable from her work as a producer, DJ, label boss and radio host, a quality that endears her to like-minded fans and artists all over the world.Their RA profile lists Turbo Recordings, !K7, Spectral Sound, Tartelet Records and 6 more.Recently at ÆDEN, Club der Visionaere · often with SPRKLBB, Greg Paulus, CCL, none of them here that night

“The Konduku back catalogue runs from ambient to broken beat electronica, but a techno sensibility remains at the core of all his work.”

The Konduku back catalogue runs from ambient to broken beat electronica, but a techno sensibility remains at the core of all his work. Albums on Nous'klaer Audio and Delsin Mantis afford plenty of space to take in the full scope of his sound, while singles for labels like Bitta, Spazio Disponibile and amenthia have all confirmed his influence as a producer testing out new possibilities for immersive dance music. At the same time, Konduku's DJing channels the vast, atmospheric quality of his own music into a more direct, floor-focused approach that orbits around constant, understated pressure. It's a clear-sighted, intentional flipside to the productions he's so well known for, perfected since his early days as a De School resident and successfully delivered across the club and festival landscape with a full-bodied commitment to physical and mental movement.Their RA profile lists Delsin, Idle Hands, Bitta, Nous'klaer Audio and 6 more.Recently at OHM, RSO.BERLIN · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, K Wata, none of them here that night

“Temple Rat’s music is more than just a sequence of rhythms; it is a meticulously crafted world defined by cinematic depth and organic, emotionally driven storytelling.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Temple Rat’s music is more than just a sequence of rhythms; it is a meticulously crafted world defined by cinematic depth and organic, emotionally driven storytelling. Based in Berlin, the project is the alias of Yuxin Mei, a Chinese composer and multi-instrumentalist who has spent years honing a sound that bridges the gap between ancient Eastern textures and the raw intensity of contemporary electronic music. In her artistic practice, Mei explores the relationship between space, environment, and sound. While the Erhu remains a central pillar of her work, her productions weave a rich tapestry of Chinese woodwinds, percussion, and traditional flutes. By utilising self-built sound-design tools and intricate field recordings, she crafts a distinctive sonic identity that leans on deep listening and experimental spatial-audio techniques. This philosophy extends beyond the club into the world of interactive installations and cross-cultural curation, notably through her collectives “Er Ting Ba Fang” (耳聽八方) and “Jia La.” Since her acclaimed EP Composition of Air on Siamese Twins Records, Temple Rat’s evolution has been marked by a constant desire to push boundaries. Her work has received international praise for its ability to balance traditional delicacy with modern industrial grit, leading her to iconic clubs including Berghain, Macadam and RSO. Her recent discography expands with the 2026 release of Some Leaves Must Fall 聽其自然 on the label Buttheads, a project that further explores her signature blend of organic instrumentation and sophisticated electronic structures. On stage, Temple Rat is known for her atmospheric performances, whether in her machine-heavy live shows or her eclectic DJ sets. She remains dedicated to the transformative power of sound, ensuring that every performance acts as a bridge between the heritage of the past and the sonic possibilities of the future.Their RA profile lists Qilla Records, Siamese Twins Records, FuFu Records, Scandal and 2 more.Recently at Giri, RSO.BERLIN, OHM · often with David Fogarty, Sound Metaphors Djs, Audrey Danza, none of them here that night
