the whole biography
Miro Lopasso, aka Boyca, is a hard-hitting Techno naturalist: as a queer, Swiss-born DJ, producer, and Berlin transplant, Boyca’s convulsing and maximalist productions channel the transformative and liberating dancefloor hypnotism he experienced into relentless Techno totems with industrial undercurrents—strobe-lit, sweat-drenched, and charged with raw physicality. Debuting on Dutch label Mord with the mangled, slow-burning blowout Beneath in 2015, Boyca has since recast his throttling industrial core into a functional, sexy, and floor-driven framework. The result is an enrapturing blend of shuddering low-end and complex groove structures that cycle through frenzied drum machine sequences, crushed loops, and heaving, spaced-out atmospheres. Ass It! (Creaked; 2020), The Encounter from Galactic Outposts (Creaked; 2022), Modified Humans (LPS; 2021), Nediar (LPS; 2021), and Remote Controlled (LPS; 2022)—with heavyweight remixers Charlton, Rosseen, Stanislav Tolkachev, and Rrose—followed in quick succession, sharpening Boyca’s vision of oscillating sound design, pounding groove structures, and infinitely morphing apogees with a dystopian undercurrent. Over time, Boyca has steadily transfigured his thunderous industrialism into a gritty brand of high-energy Techno with hot-blooded joie de vivre, culminating in 2024 with his most uptempo and floor-focused work. A four-track EP on Berlin label …is serving, with remixes by Rexer & Nymed, landed as a relentless, fast-paced concrete séance—built for the floor and designed with a writhing mass of bodies in mind. 2025 marked another leap forward with The Necessary Substance (…is serving; June 2025), the label’s ninth release, where Boyca carved out his own pocket of queer club-space—where distortion meets devotion. Across three uncompromising tracks, Boyca channeled raw intensity and hypnotic seduction: Scream_ unraveled in urgent vocals and tightly coiled percussion; The Necessary Substance simmered with eerie minimal tension and fragmented samples; and Deep Thxxxt_ delivered a direct, bass-heavy weapon built for smoke-filled basements. The subsequent Necessary Substance Remixes (September 2025) expanded the release into new territories, reaffirming Boyca as a distinct voice in contemporary techno—fierce, sensual, and unafraid to push boundaries. With a constant drive to reinvent and push further, Boyca continues to deliver raw and honest dancefloor superlatives anchored in a grinding and granular Hardgroove framework—club music as ritual, release, and transformation.Their RA profile lists Creaked Records, Mord and Gegen Records.Last at Loone in Aug · often with Khloe, Schacke, Spikey Lee, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Also known as "The Dogfather," this Brittany-born artist journeyed from a small town in France to the heart of Berlin. Shaped by his background as a nurse and recognized as an iconic "face" of the Fetish scene, he slowly built his unique journey over the years as a model & performer and is now focusing on his artistic evolution as a DJ. His relationship with music began the moment he embraced his true self and learned to celebrate what makes him different. Many hours on the dancefloor, surrounded by diverse communities, taught him not only about others but also about himself. Those experiences became the foundation of a sound that is deeply emotional, authentic, and clearly his own. To him, Techno has always been more than entertainement, it's a sanctuary for the misfits, the rebels, the outsiders, and that's why he wants to preserve that spirit and bring the culture back to its roots. Music is a way to spread important messages, fight hate and heal people. His mission is to bring communities together by sharing deep emotions through music to educate people and uplift the Fetish community, while helping to protect & build safe spaces where everyone can express themselves freely.

“Supergloss quickly conquered the modern electronic music scene with her sincere and melodic sound.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Supergloss quickly conquered the modern electronic music scene with her sincere and melodic sound. Inspired by the acid and trance of the 90s and 00s, Lina not only borrows key elements of the rave sound but also reinterprets them, giving them a fresh look and a modern sensibility. Her music combines sensuality and drama expressed in pads and leads with the fighting character of the 303 acid synth, which completely reflects her persona - strong, but gentle. In a short time, Supergloss has not only found her audience but also become a significant figure in the European electronic scene. She skillfully balances between festival and club sounds, without limiting her creative potential to genres. Supergloss's first solo release was a double EP "Space Office", released on January 17 2025, on the legendary trance label from 90s - Noom Records. This debut was not only a great achievement for Lina but also a kind of manifesto of devotion to the sound of acid trance. In April 2025, a sequel followed - "Space Office (Part 2)", which expands the sonic palette of the original, adding retro-futuristic soundscapes, 90s atmosphere, and pulsating energy of techno. However, the first release in her career was a vinyl collaboration with producer Omon Breaker - "Visual Freak" EP, released in May 2024. This was the first step in their joint work, and the continuation was not long in coming. Their next release, the EP "Programmed Destiny", was released under the new duo Escape on Tape, combining their influences from the past. Supergloss continues to develop her career, performing at festivals and club venues all over Europe, and her music resonates with listeners who appreciate sincerity, melody and deep emotion in electronic music. Alongside the development of her own artistic career, Supergloss has begun to focus on the cultural side of the scene. In August 2025, she launched her new label, X-IZE - a project that both reinterprets and celebrates the spirit of 90s rave culture. The label draws inspiration from the musical and visual heritage of old Berlin. X-IZE is not just about releasing records, it's about building a cultural movement that boldly declares: “real rave is still alive.”often with WILDERÍCH, Serafina, EMILIJA, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Emerging from Kyiv’s underground scene in 2019, his sound blends driving techno with breakbeat energy and trance-infused melodies, shaped by early influences such as The Prodigy and Juno Reactor. Rather than building tracks as functional DJ tools, Omon Breaker approaches music as narrative - each release unfolds like a sequence, blending raw emotion with club-focused intensity. Following his relocation to Berlin, his work shifted toward a more personal, cinematic direction. Themes of displacement, identity, and transformation run through his productions, turning high-impact dancefloor tracks into something more introspective and human. Omon Breaker’s work sits between tension and release, combining physical energy with emotional depth and pushing club music beyond pure function into storytelling.Their RA profile lists BITE, Standard Deviation and JUICY GANG RECORDS.often with Christie, AINA.KRU, In-Tan, none of them here that night

DJ, producer, and antidisciplinary artist MORENXXX—also known as Jesús Hilario Reyes—is a true enigmatic force exalted from Chicago’s underground.

Gegen Berlin resident and part of the core team, Mar/us is a sonic architect, crafting hard and fast techno beats that propel listeners into the deepest realms of self-discovery. In the heart of Berlin's techno underworld, Mar/us doesn't merely play music; they orchestrate a liberating and hedonistic atmosphere where sexuality and self-expression collide in an electrically charged dance of liberation. Their beats are not just heard but felt on a visceral level, fostering an atmosphere where inhibition dissolves, boundaries blur and the dancefloor resonates with the liberating power of music and movement.Their RA profile lists Gegen Records.Last at Loone in Aug · often with Spikey Lee, KEMIK, 2THEMAX, none of them here that night
“Oldyungmayn’s identity moves through his work as a current - refracted through rhythm, bass pressure, and affective tone.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Oldyungmayn’s identity moves through his work as a current - refracted through rhythm, bass pressure, and affective tone. As a Palestinian-Egyptian DJ and producer, now based in Berlin, he emerged from Dubai’s self-built underground - a place where creative spaces were scarce and dancefloors had to be invented from nothing. Out of this absence, he forged a sound both tactile and elusive: bass-heavy, rhythmically volatile, and charged with emotional dissonance. His DJ sets are kinetic and unpredictable, (un)folding techno’s gravity into percussive experiments, sudden ruptures, and euphoric flashes. He navigates tension and release with precision, channeling energy that feels both intimate and communal, inviting physicality and connection. “Heady, frenetic dynamism rooted in textural depth, combining harsh sonics with heavy club euphoria” is heard in Crack Mix 544 whilst BUTT Mixtape - Insane Gay Asylum Mix brings out his “handsome mixing (on) this bassy, freak-forward techno set.” In productions, Oldyungmayn draws from a wide vocabulary: the serrated textures of industrial metal, the compressed drama of video game sound design, the rhythmic codes of diasporic bass music. These influences collide into something that feels at once personal and speculative - a soundworld where dislocation becomes propulsion. With recent releases on UMAY and Magdalena’s Apathy he continues to explore new terrains of rhythm, texture, and movement. An alumni of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music, Oldyungmayn continues to expand the edges of his sound. He’s appeared at spaces like CTM, Herrensauna, Säule, FIBER, Whole and Unsound’s Ephemera, transmitting his singular hybrid of density, joy, and controlled chaos. Currently developing his debut album and new collaborative projects, he remains committed to the same principles that started it all - a DIY ethos and insatiable curiosity.Their RA profile lists ParkingStone, UMAY and Magdalena's Apathy.often with ELAYN, Aaron Blau, yung_womb, none of them here that night

She invites the listener to lay back and sit in the groove, building up a trance-like atmosphere which makes it hard not to move. She brings softness, love and uplifting energies to the dancefloor, with an emphasis on reminding us that the roots of Disco come from African-American resistance and that House Music is therefore a political sound.
