the whole biography
Solvados is a Berlin-based DJ whose sound moves within the spectrum of raw and hypnotically oriented techno. His sets are defined by clear structures and driving sounds, with a strong focus on a steadily unfolding flow. Solvados approaches techno as a collective experience. His musical selection is consciously curated and follows a clear, reduced direction with a sense of tension and depth, allowing long, hypnotic arcs to emerge. Performances at Berlin clubs such as ://about blank and ÆDEN, as well as further venues across Germany, have established his reputation as a focused and precise DJ, capable of keeping the dancefloor in motion for hours at a time. Since 2026, Solvados has been a resident DJ for the Amsterdam Techno Records event series and label, where he continues to develop his musical signature within a consistent, club-oriented context.Last at ://about blank in Aug · often with ravers, sound and lights, Real.

their own biography
the whole biography
Hendrik Nitsche is a Berlin-based techno producer and live performer whose hypnotic rhythms pulsate between 144 and 150 BPM, creating immersive sonic journeys that unfold in the moment. Rather than relying on pre-arranged tracks, Hendrik's performances thrive on prepared improvisation, crafting unique experiences through live manipulation of Ableton synthesizers and effects, seamlessly combined with analog synthesizers that add raw, unpredictable energy to his sound. With classical piano and guitar training since age five, Hendrik brings a depth of musical understanding to his productions that belies his relatively recent focus on techno. Since August 2023, he has been refining his distinctive sound, channeling years of theory and practice into the raw energy of Berlin's electronic landscape. Hendrik's musical path took an unconventional turn beneath the Warschauer Bridge, where his street performances with a portable PA system regularly drew crowds of up to 150 people. These grassroots sessions opened doors to Berlin venues like Cosmic Caspar, Mein Haus am See, and Nachtvogel, where his dynamic sets continue to build a devoted following. In July 2025, Hendrik’s ascent culminated in a major milestone: performing a full live set on a flagship truck at Rave the Planet, Berlin’s largest techno parade, in front of tens of thousands of dancers. Just weeks before the parade, he shared a studio session with modular pioneer Dr. Spree, a collaboration that deepened his sonic palette and reaffirmed his commitment to live hardware performance. As a core member of the artist collective The Gates Music, Hendrik contributes actively to Berlin’s collaborative creative ecosystem. His influences range from the live modular chaos of Alexander Spree to the precision of Gabrielle and the raw drive of USAW—yet his sound resists imitation. With interest now coming from Amsterdam Techno Records, who are discussing gigs at Berlin institutions like about:blank and OXI, Hendrik’s momentum continues to build. From early dub-techno experiments like Carpet (from his debut album) to his current hard-edged, genre-fluid live shows, his evolution is both deliberate and dynamic. For Hendrik, techno exists beyond agenda—it's a universal language that brings people together regardless of background or belief. He sees his role not as a revolutionary, but as a contributor to Berlin's techno heritage, using contemporary tools to tap into the same primal rhythmic connection that humans have experienced for millennia. In a scene that often takes itself too seriously, Hendrik's approach remains refreshingly genuine—focused on the craft, dedicated to the moment, and always open to where the music might lead next.Last at OXI in Aug · often with Gray Contrast, Dshanna, Julez (live), none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Oscar Mulder, better known as DJ Perroz, is a seasoned techno producer from the Netherlands with a rich history in the music scene. His journey began in the 90s, deeply influenced by the hardcore genre, before taking a hiatus. However, his love for electronic music never waned, and a thoughtful gift from his wife – a DJ controller – reignited his passion five years ago. Since then, he has immersed himself in the driving techno sound, drawing inspiration from both past and present icons like Buzz Fuzz and Charlotte de Witte. Oscar’s music is a reflection of his diverse influences, blending modern techno with nostalgic 90s elements, characterized by storytelling arrangements and a touch of simplicity. His creative process resembles that of crafting a narrative, with each track telling its own story. Despite embarking on his musical journey alone, Oscar acknowledges the pivotal role of Adriana Vega, whose support and belief in his talent led to the signing of his track “Focus and Concentration.” With an upcoming debut album on Amsterdam Techno Records, Oscar is poised to make a significant impact on the techno scene. His mantra of self-belief and authenticity resonates deeply with fellow artists, as he encourages them to stay true to their sound while continually evolving. In the years to come, Oscar envisions himself performing his music regularly, fueled by his unwavering passion for techno and dedication to his craft.Their RA profile lists Let Techno Unite Records and LTU-Records.often with sound and lights, massive cool venues, DARK, none of them here that night

the whole biography
SHOLINGER is a Berlin-based electronic music producer and live act, exploring techno and breakbeats with a touch of the experimental. His hypnotic rhythms and refined deep grooves pull listeners into a state of shared momentum and driving intensity. Long story short – Sholinger’s musical roots trace back to ’90s techno, hip-hop, and the rhythmic traditions of the Yoruba. As a Berlin native, he discovered the spiritual depth of electronic music in the vibrant mid-90s, spending countless nights at E-Werk, the original Tresor, and other underground venues. This experience soon sparked his interest in producing beats, experimenting with samplers and synthesizers. Transitioning into a full-time studio engineer and sound designer in 2004, Sho immersed himself in the diverse world of sound. Working in projects across various styles and genres shaped his unique perception of music. After a break from his own projects, the ‚Petite Victory Collective‘ reignited Sholinger’s return to the scene. Since then, he has performed at renowned clubs and events, including ://about blank, OXI Club (ATR/Berlin) and Basement (PVC/Copenhagen), and has hosted the 4th edition of Sonic Playground in November 2025 at Musikbrauerei (Berlin) with the kind support of Sennheiser. – „Through repetition, sound emerges in cycles, each one reshaping the last. With every return, the pattern deepens and becomes a meditative ritual.”often with Artists, ravers, no cameras, none of them here that night
