  the whole biography

  As a DJ, Eli Verveine is widely respected for her ability to build her own dancefloor wherever she is in the world. Always engaged with the crowd, Eli sees communication as integral to the art of DJing: whether it’s warm-up, peak-time or after-hours, she captures the collective energy and applies just the right doses of drama and restraint until every dancer is locked into a unified groove. Eli’s versatile blend of genres and moods has brought her to some of the most iconic stages around, from the clubs Bassiani, Panoramabar, Fabric and Closer to the festivals Garbicz, Rainbow Disco Club, Waking Life, and delivering the prestigious closing set at Organik Festival in Taiwan. She has a B2B project, Among Trees, with Andrey Pushkarev. As a live performer, Eli Verveine collaborates with Berlin-based DJ/musician Gwenan on the experimental live project Gin & Tonic. With a setup combining modular synthesis, drum machines, effects pedals and more, the duo tease variegated musical textures out of extended improvisations. This open-ended approach, grounded in close listening and a strong mutual understanding between the two, leads to intriguing musical dialogues in which the machines do the talking. As a producer, Eli Verveine’s discography stretches back to the Ness EP (2012) on Tardis Records, the label she runs with Oscar Schubaq. In 2023, she released the track ‘Morning Dub’, on a VA from Chateau Chépère, and ‘Reverie’, a track resulting from a project with school children in Basel. Eli has been having a lot of fun in the studio, so we can expect more solo material on the way.

  Saudi DJ, Baloo has been actively pushing the Saudi scene and underground for decades, most recently as one of the main creative and curative forces behind MDLBEAST. He’s played in the region and around the world in Bahrain, Dubai, Beirut, New York, Boston, London, Mykonos and most recently in Saudi. He brings a very unique energy to dancefloors, a spectrum of house, disco to deep to minimal, that ranges from the sublime and ethereal to the gritty and downright filthy. Baloo recently launched a new label and event concept, Gabu, with pop up events planned across Saudi and the region, created and curated by a house DJ with deep roots in Jazz, funk, disco, and R&B.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Born in 1981 in a tiny town of the Pre-Ural region, Votkinsk. Andrey made his way to the worldwide underground scene by collecting and successfully playing vinyl records for over 25 years. A vinyl collector, his special and deep taste for sound is recognizable and respected in more than 60 countries. From Australia to the US, South America, Asia, and Africa. The career of a professional DJ started at the age of 15. Despite limited resources of getting any alternative information on underground culture and music before and after the Soviet Union collapsed, his passion for electronic sound still developed rapidly and evolved into dedicating his whole life to it. Constant searches and desire to share precious finds involved in a life’s time work so now he is spinning vinyl in clubs, all-scale festivals, and broadcasting at Boiler Room, Mixmag Lab, and live streams. In 2006, he became a resident DJ of the unique web radio DeepMix.ru which was broadcasting non-commercial techno music for free and without any advertising to listeners from 53 countries till the end of the summer of 2011. In 2013, he appeared as the main protagonist of the documentary film Kvadrat which explores the realities of DJing, shot by Anatoliy Ivanov in 5 countries. This movie had a huge impact on the underground community because it showed the other, more vulnerable side of the profession and revealed a romanticized illusion of the life of an electronic artist. As a producer, He mainly focuses now on ambient and dub sound, as an opportunity to state an inward-outward message, not influenced by short-lived hype. The releases and remixes can be found at labels like Circus Company, Endless, Lessizmore, and Thule Records. Also, he is producing and curating music for his label, Luck of Access which was opened in 2017 and provides a space for artists to reveal the unknown sides of their musical style.
