    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Blazing through clubs across Europe — and earlier this year, North America as well — Caniche is fast becoming a defining force in contemporary Hardgroove Techno. Her sets blend percussive textures with rap-infused vocals. Funk-heavy rhythms meet tribal elements — all grounded in old-school drums. But her signature style doesn’t stop at the booth: As a producer, Caniche channels that same driving energy into her tracks, released on renowned labels such as RAW, GRÜV, Twice Infinity, and soon, BCCO. Her debut EP, released in 2024, featured remixes by ISAIAH and CULT — adding further weight to her growing discography. On stage, she’s known for igniting floors at Berlin institutions like Tresor and RSO, while also making waves at standout clubs across Europe, including Kalt (Strasbourg), Mondo Disko (Madrid), and Grelle Forelle (Vienna). A tour through India is next on the horizon — expanding her reach even further. Off stage, Caniche co-leads the PUSH Network, curating events at both Tresor and Grelle Forelle under its banner. PUSH is dedicated to amplifying FLINTA voices in electronic music, advocating for visibility, equity, and long-term change. More than just a platform, it’s a growing movement — and Caniche stands at its heart. Pronouns: she/ her

    “Hontas is a German DJ and curator based in Berlin, focused on rhythm-driven, narrative DJ sets.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Hontas is a German DJ and curator based in Berlin, focused on rhythm-driven, narrative DJ sets. Classically trained in piano and with a background in dance, her approach is shaped by timing, structure, and physical response to sound. Electronic music became a central focus in 2012 through Kassel’s underground scene, where an ear for atmosphere and pulse developed. After stepping behind the decks in 2015, she soon earned a residency at Kassel’s Club ARM. From early on, her sets were structured as continuous journeys, built with clear progression and attention to long-form flow. The sound is defined by hypnotic rhythmic frameworks, precise track selection, and controlled tension. Weighty basslines are combined with restrained melodic elements, using loops, layers, and gradual transitions to create depth without excess. Each element is chosen for its function within the overall structure of the set. In addition to DJ work, Hontas has hosted and curated events throughout Central Germany, contributing to the regional electronic music community. Since relocating to Berlin in 2022, appearances have included several established venues, with regular performances at RSO. The current focus remains on cohesive, functional sets centered on rhythm, continuity and atmosphere.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Since his debut in 2014, Kasper has shown his skill to produce ecstatic yet reflective tracks with a clear voice over and over. With his highly refined taste across genres he has also proven to be a unique talent as a DJ – his ear for the percussive elements of music is of a rare kind and his DJ sets sliding easily between moods, tempos and styles. In 2018 he released his breakthrough EP on Modeselektor's Seilscheibenpfeiler label. The euphoric title track Keflavik lit up clubs and festivals all year long and was named “one of the biggest club records of the year” by Resident Advisor. In the following year Kasper released a new EP on Courtesy’s flourishing label project Kulør. With the Forever Mix EP, he proves to be texturally rich and unconventional once again. His intuitive approach to producing together with constantly finding new inspiration in other genres, his local community and society as a whole makes his music freshly unique and relevant to the scene.

    South Korea · 5 bookings since Sep 2025

    “machìna is a Korean artist based in Tokyo.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    machìna is a Korean artist based in Tokyo. Her music is deeply personal and rooted in selfhood, yet best experienced amidst the collective effervescence of a nightclub dance floor. Her compositional style is thoughtful and playful, hinting at her love of jazz, which can be seen in her confident modular improvisation when she performs live. Her vocals are pronounced and note-perfect, forged in the regimented training she underwent during her time as a K-Pop artist. Through this collaboration of technology, analogue systems and vocals, she is developing her unique style of electronic music. As a regular performer with MUTEK Japan, she is expanding her sounds into the world of multi-media experimental art, and her most recent performance at MUTEK Montreal was to great acclaim, which led her on the path to play at the SILVESTER KLUBNACHT at the Halle stage in Berghain at the end of 2022. In 2023, machìna was an integral part of the From Our Minds – To Be Announced 2023 tour, playing her newly developed live techno set to sold-out crowds across Europe and The USA alongside Richie Hawtin. The basis for this live set has been a year-long experimental project, Action, a series of dance tracks released periodically throughout the year, inspired by the defining harmony of rhythm and sound. These independent releases have been met with a buzzing reaction both on the dance floor and across mixed media, with the track 'Respect' being featured in a recent Miu Miu campaign and 'choom' being used in the Nike Campus campaign of 2024. Her unique style has led her to be picked up by brands including Prada, Miu Miu, Nike, Red Bull Music, Vans, and Shiseido for creative collaborations that highlight her ability to interweave the worlds of music and fashion. Some key events include playing a live set at the Prada Extends Tokyo event curated by Richie Hawtin (2022), headlining for the Miu Miu Club in Tokyo (2023) as well as being chosen as part of the NIKE X ACRONYM global campaign and as an ambassador for the MMW x NIKE Yoga collection. In 2021, she was asked to contribute to a compilation album 'Trasor30' by the record label Tresor of the legendary club in Berlin. Her vocals were featured on the widely popular track 'Hawk' by British electronic music duo Bicep, around the same time her debut EP 'Trusted' was released on London's UTTU label. After releasing the full series Action in 2023, she is building tracks for her next full-release album.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Igarashi’s distinctive take on techno is on display across a series of EPs on Midgar and The Bunker NY, as well as on Semantica, Time to Express, and Bitta. Recent standout remixes of Aurora Halal, Volte-Face and Prins Thomas have further demonstrated his considerable talents as a producer. The same mentality is present in his performances, whether DJing or playing live, with his measured control of frequencies and intensities shaping the dancefloor as he explores the more psychedelic dimensions of techno. In this way, Igarashi’s considered approach is one that stimulates the body and mind, generating energy and emotion. Wata Igarashiは独自のサウンドを確立したアーティストだ。緻密なサウンドデザインや構成力を持ち、陶酔感とサイケデリックさを融合させたIgarashi特有のテクノは、MidgarやThe Bunker NYの一連のEPやSemantica、Time to Express、 Bittaのリリースで聴く事ができる。また彼のプロデューサーとしての才能は、近年のAurora Halal、Volte-Face、 Prins Thomasの傑出したリミックス・ワークでも顕著に表れている。彼はDJやライブといったパフォーマンスにおいても、制作と同じ精神性を持っていて、緻密な音響とエネルギーのコントロールでテクノのさらなるサイケデリックな次元を探求し、ダンスフロアを陶酔へと導く。Igarashiのアプローチは身体と心の両方を刺激し、強いエネルギーと感情を生み出す。

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    With an unparalleled presence, style, and demeanor in the underground, DJ, producer and label head Xiorro is renowned for igniting revelry. Having begun his artistry in 2017 in Brooklyn’s then-vibrant underground, Xiorro’s current status as a Berlin-based DJ is illuminated by his impactful run in Brooklyn with ALKHEMY & the beloved warehouse and off-site rave series, The Black Hole, which he both co-founded. Now a fixture in Berlin’s fervent club scene, Xiorro has transitioned seamlessly into a resident role at RSO where he frequents regularly, picking up where he left off at with his residency when the club was known as Griessmuehle and located in Neukölln. Fueled by a relentless and unyielding dedication to the craft, Xiorro has forged a style which blends endurance with mixing prowess and a meticulous selection. For a secret that almost feels like a clandestine, the dance floor needs not to worry when in the hands of Xiorro, as he has solidified himself as a trusted armament of RSO where he’s recognized for his extended sets during the club’s renown club night weekenders. His ability to play long sets and adapt to the style of the night elevates him to a league of his own. Whether guiding the audience through an intimate, incorporeal experience or powering the dance floor with moving fervency, Xiorro’s versatility and adaptability shines through as an exquisite fusion of artistic finesse together with his Puerto Rican heritage. Moreover, what distinguishes Xiorro apart from others is not only his self-taught musical ear for composing otherworldly vibrations but also his innate sense of drive and groove. The way that Xiorro understands how groovy rhythms succumb to the drive and revel in the intensity of the increased tempo, makes him a luminary leaving an indelible mark in the hearts of listeners. The inception of Xiorro’s Whirlwind Trax label in 2019 stands as an attestation to his commitment to interpreting techno through his own lenses. With releases that showcase both Xiorro’s own work as well as the work of label affiliates, Whirlwind Trax holds a catalogue of tracks that are sure to set a soundsystem ablaze. In tandem with a mixture of a desire to create a memorable experience with an affinity for the sheer excitement of techno, Xiorro now works on the continuance of The Black Hole now evolving into the ULTRANOVA club night series at RSO in 2024. Creating a community for the outcast of the outcasts, Xiorro is now focused on cultivating his own community within the Berlin ecosystem through his newly inaugurated night.

    the whole biography
    From Australia’s creative heartlands to the world’s most revered clubs and airwaves, Andy Garvey operates at the cutting edge of electronic music. Channeling an intuitive connection to the pulse of her environment, her sonic language blends deep techno textures with entrancing rhythms, guiding listeners through immersive spaces where dance meets introspection. In the past year, Andy released her 2025 EP Mastermind on Pure Space, a bold and emotive statement supported by a five-date Australian tour. Her European run sees Pure Space takeovers across Amsterdam, Berlin, and London, reinforcing her ongoing commitment to platforming boundary-pushing artists and sounds across continents. 2026 marks a decade of Pure Space, now a vital force within the Australian landscape and an increasingly global conduit for forward-thinking electronic music. Across releases, events, and broadcasts, the imprint reflects Andy’s distinct curatorial voice: emotionally resonant, exploratory, and quietly influential. Later this year, Andy will release her debut album Solid State Dissolve on Mirror Zone, expanding her practice beyond club functionality into a more fluid, hybrid space between rhythmic intensity and atmospheric depth. Always evolving, her work remains a conduit for connection through sound, drawing listeners into the expansive, emotional possibilities of electronic music.

    “Vision, subversion, history and bliss each flow like life blood in the work of Woody92.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Vision, subversion, history and bliss each flow like life blood in the work of Woody92. A DJ, aesthete, label-owner and experimentalist operating within the consistently fascinating outer-reaches of the Dutch electronic music scene, Woody92 is a multi-faceted artist whose distinct perspective manifests itself across alternate yet intertwined sensory plains. As a DJ, his expertly curated and characteristic sets deviate from the norm, exploring psychoactive strains of leftfield electronics, hypnotic techno and radiant minimalism. Woody92 previously cemented his singular and sophisticated DJ style at a number of clubs and institutions, but is equally respected for capturing the energy and curiosity of audiences in outsider spaces across his native Netherlands, as well as far beyond. His pristine yet unpredictable mixes have already left a unique musical footprint, establishing a quietly defiant reputation as a musical curator with increasingly rare depth and focus. Born in the unassuming town of Delft on the West Coast of Holland, the more radical reverberations from neighbouring city The Hague had a subconscious and eventually more explicit effect on his youthful curiosity and creativity. Woody’s dedication to collecting and reinterpreting electronic music is both parallel and complimentary to his education in art, with a particular interest in graphic design, inspired by aesthetics throughout history and culture. The sum total of these passions manifests in Omen Wapta, a new record label and multidisciplinary platform launched by Woody92 in 2021. Highlighting music and creative projects from an international but close-knit circle of friends and collaborators, Omen Wapta is inspired by communal histories in order to imagine a collaborative future, a "transitory playground for the imagination" consisting of a broad spectrum of styles, encompassing fashion lines and design as well as sonic artefacts. With the alchemy of Omen Wapta as the beating heart of his overall vision, Woody92 continues to challenge himself and others, fluidly curating a path to creative enlightenment and a patiently earned catharsis, both in the club and inspired by it.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Now based in NYC after several years in Berlin, she earned a bright reputation in the scene as well for her long dedication to the dance music community and authentic love for music. With a broad style forged by long days of digging crates and stumbling upon all sorts of electronic music gems, mu”he’s techno sets move far beyond the latest subgenres, incorporating influences from 80’s Japanoise, 90’s old school rave and 2000’s left-field electronica. Her depth of knowledge allows her to build wide-ranging sets that meld cutting edge sounds with forgotten classics, interspersing tough physical grooves with moments of timeless dancefloor euphoria. mu”he’s style is imbued with the purpose of preserving the essential and treasured values of dance music that moves hearts and bodies irrespective of time period or genre. Moved in Berlin in May 2023, mu”he has been quickly booking appearances at some of Berlin’s best clubs and festivals across Europe in the last year–most notably: Berlin Atonal, Lunchmeat Festival, La Nature Festival, Whole Festival and an array of Berlin clubs including Berghain, Tresor, OHM and RSO. She continues to maintain a busy touring schedule in Asia as well, having toured Japan, China, Taiwan and Thailand in the last year. In May 2024, she founded her own label PARNASSUS with the vision of creating timeless dance music for bold, sexy, and free dancefloors and released her first EP featuring two original tracks and remixes by two of Japan’s most prominent producers: DJ SHUFFLEMASTER, a techno producer with close ties to Berlin’s legendary club and label Tresor since the 90s, and Mars89, a singular and important talent in Tokyo’s underground scene. 勢いを増す東京アンダーグラウンドクラブシーンの最前線で高い評価を得るmu"heは、2018年から東京の名門テクノクラブ「VENT」のレジデントを務め、幅広い選曲と深い音楽的洞察力で揺るぎない存在感を築いてきた。現在はベルリンを拠点とし、ダンスミュージックコミュニティへの長年の献身と音楽への真摯な愛情から、高い注目を集めている。 mu"heの音楽スタイルは、長い歳月をかけてレコードを掘り起こし、多彩な電子音楽を発見してきた経験に基づく。彼女のテクノセットは80年代のノイズ・エクスペリメンタル、90年代のオールドスクールレイブ、2000年代のレフトフィールド・エレクトロニカといった幅広い影響を取り入れ、最先端のサウンドと忘れ去られた名曲を融合させる。タフでフィジカルなグルーヴとダンスフロアの高揚感を織り交ぜながら、ダンスミュージックの本質的な価値を追及する。 2023年5月からベルリンを拠点に活動を開始し、Whole Festival、Berlin Atonal、Lunchmeat Festival(Czech)、La Nature Festival(Belgium)といったフェスティバルや、Berghain、Tresor、OHM、RSOなどベルリンの主要クラブでのプレイを次々と実現させている。アジアでも精力的にツアーを行い、昨年は日本、中国、タイ、台湾を跨ぐアジアツアーを成功させた。 2024年5月には自身のレーベル「PARNASSUS」を立ち上げ、「大胆で自由なダンスフロアのためのタイムレスな音楽」というモットーのもと1st EPをリリース。オリジナルトラック2曲に加え、ベルリンのレーベルTresorと親交の深いプロデューサーDJ SHUFFLEMASTERと、東京のアンダーグラウンドシーンで重要な存在であるMars89によるリミックスが収録されている。
