The duo specialises in the dark and tribal dub side of drum and bass and has an impressive catalogue of releases on genre-defining labels such as Samurai Music, Rupture, Cylon, Renegade Hardware, 457, Transaltion, DNO, Alphacut and Mutable Beats. Their sound outlines a wide array of musical styles – from minimal, to dubby, to deep, percussive halfstep - all that bathed in distorted, fleshy bass. Kay's ability to blend heavy bass lines and percussion is unparalleled. The oldskool influences of yesteryear are key to her approach to drum and bass. Nitrox is the co-founder of the original Universal Project. He has released tracks as U.P (and with Keaton) on established labels such as Renegade Hardware, Freak Recordings, Quarantine, Virus, True Playaz or Advance. Behind the decks, The Untouchables are a force to be reckoned with. They always deliver a heavyweight selection of sounds that come from the deeper side of the bass universe. Currently, they are hosting a show on Black Rhino Radio, featuring fresh music from their studio & producers they like, as well as guest appearances from their favourite roster of artists.Their RA profile lists Renegade Hardware, Samurai Music, Translation Recordings, Alphacut Records and 5 more.often with Mor Elian, Baby Leo, BEARCAT, none of them here that night

Pleasure and repetition, declension of the word percussion, Marylou carves raw oneirism. Raised between forests and ocean in the south west coast of France, her first languages are painting and cinema before she got involved in different ways (writing, drawing, promoting) in the parisian birthing scene in the 2010's. Her daring and psychedelic sets are always an experimentation of her true style : From Traditional music, improv jazz and Noise to dub, bass, footwork and jungle, there are always special instants in Marylou’s mixes which have already gotten the likes of edgy festivals & platforms like Terraforma, Freerotation, Intonal, CTM, Meakusma, or in clubs from Berghain to cafe Oto.. By hosting two shows on Rinse France and Cashmere radio, and regularly on NTS, she showcases her eclectic and vibrating sound and curates some incredible shows.Their RA profile lists Morphine Records, Ominira and OOH-sounds.Recently at Kwia, Kraftwerk Berlin, Kraftwerk, Tresor/Globus and OHM · often with ophélie, Gavsborg, Rafush, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
If you want to trace the beginnings of DJ Pete's status in Techno culture, you have to go back a very long way. He emerged as a DJ in the pioneering days of the Berlin scene during the late 80s. As a producer he made his name with the first release on Chain Reaction in 1995, a sub-label of the Basic Channel imprint, together with René Löwe aka Vainqueur as Scion. Scion also released the first commercially available CD ever produced with the then newly developed software Ableton Live in 2002 and later continued their collaboration as Substance & Vainqueur on the label Scion Versions. Substance, the acclaimed alias DJ Pete uses for his own productions has a back catalogue of highly influential solo efforts and an impressive string of acclaimed remixes for pivotal Techno artists like Juan Atkins, Regis, Kessell, Orphx, Robert Hood, Rhythm & Sound, Monolake or Shed, among many others. DJ Pete earned similar respect behind the decks, combining highly individual yet refined mixing skills with both his vast encyclopedic knowledge of Techno history and an unquenchable thirst for new sounds that carry the potential to push all boundaries. Beyond that his energetic sets also incorporate elements of pure Techno, the Hard Wax tradition and powerful House tracks. His seemingly unlimited scope is informed by frequent Dynamic Tension nights at Tresor in the late 90s with Surgeon and his residency at Berghain since its opening, as well as countless successful gigs at the most crucial nights of the scene's international circuit. He is also known to merge Techno with Dubstep and selecting Reggae, particularly while working the mighty Killasan sound system as core DJ member of the seminal Wax Treatment events. DJ Pete's lauded signature style also benefits from his numerous experiences as part of the cherished live acts TR-101 (an improvisational live act in collaboration with Sleeparchive), Scion (either with or without vocalist Paul St. Hilaire), and gigs with many other likeminded DJ innovators. A typical DJ Pete performance is always delivering an array of programming, sequencing, layering and live effects that goes well beyond a mere presentation of tracks. True to Techno's original claim, innovations in sound and technology are intuitively employed to achieve a floor sensation that manages to involve the crowd on as many levels as possible.Their RA profile lists Scion Versions and Chain Reaction.Recently at ://about blank, Kraftwerk Berlin, Kraftwerk, Tresor/Globus and OHM · often with Juju Ji, TRESOR, Finn Johannsen, none of them here that night
