    the whole biography
    D-LERIA Giuseppe Scaccia also known as D-Leria, a sonic virtuoso in the studio and a chaos creator on the dancefloor, embarked on his DJ journey in 2001. Swiftly transitioning to studio production, he garnered international recognition in Hardcore and became a fixture at major festivals, particularly in the Netherlands. In 2014, he gave life to D-Leria, releasing a series of EPs that served as a canvas for his evolving musical style. This transformative period also saw him take on dual roles as an artist and manager at Delirio record label, where he curated a space for avant-garde talents with a focus on authentic live recording. Relocating to Berlin, Giuseppe immersed himself in new inspirations and devoted five years to meticulously crafting his debut album, 'Driving to Nowhere.' The result was a sonic masterpiece that quickly captivated the attention of electronic music luminaries. D-Leria’s artistic trajectory continued to ascend as he found a home in prestigious labels such as Avian, Semantica, Non Series, Sublunar, Monument. He contributed to noteworthy compilations, showcasing his style finesse and leaving his mark with remixes, various EPs and collaborative projects. Over the past few years, D-Leria has taken the global stage by storm, venturing on active touring with debuts in historical and iconic clubs and festivals, reaching new continents, communities and audiences. This journey reached a zenith with the unveiling of his groundbreaking and revolutionary modular live set at a festival in HALL Tallinn in 2022. The reverberations of this innovative performance carried into his 2023 live tour, leaving an enduring impact on distinguished venues and festivals worldwide including Tresor Berlin, Khidi Tbilisi, Radion Amsterdam, Freedom Festival Medellin, Gare Porto, Closer Milan, Ratherlost Amsterdam, UTD festival Białystok and more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born and raised in Morocco, Chami has been djing there before moving to Lyon, France where he discovered his passion for techno. Now based in Berlin, where he has definitely become fully integrated in the Berlin local underground scene. Chami is one of those artists that truly reflects the spirit of techno, no superficial exterior surface of these days but only focusing on the pure art form itself. He is also part of the face 2 face project with OPH where they played facing each other using 2 mixers and 4 vinyl turntables which lead them to play multiple times in Berghain. He is also part of the Minijob French crew which organizes illegal raves in abandoned locations in the outskirts of Berlin, welcoming everyone regardless of genre, origin and sexuality with a wide variety of music from house disco and techno. These events are organized without public promotion and managed to gather a solid regular audience base that supports their values and trusts what they do. With his strong and determined vinyl only sets Chami is able to showcase his talent on the decks and demonstrate his deep knowledge for this very technical art. When listening to him, you can lock in for clean, rhythmic and mental hours of no bullshit techno.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Arthur Robert, born and raised in Vienna, Austria, and of Romanian heritage - an intricate blend that will later inspire and influence his musical aspirations. A tender memory from his formative years is rooted in embracing a colossal speaker, absorbing the vibrations of bass that would shape his affinity for sound. At a youthful sixteen, Arthur embarked on an autonomous journey, teaching himself the craft of DJing drum and bass music with the analogue allure of vinyl records, marking the inception of his electronic music odyssey. Arthur's trajectory led him to Amsterdam in his early twenties, a city that beckoned him with the allure of techno music. An encounter with Berlin's Berghain venue would be a defining moment, solidifying his dedication to the sonic landscapes he would continue to shape. Within the confines of his studio, Arthur diligently refines his craft, continuously fine-tuning his live sets and presenting his published tracks in their purest form—a singular, unedited take capturing the essence of his vision. A mélange of evocative descriptors encapsulates Arthur's auditory signature: live electronics, a puristic approach, groove-driven foundations inspired by Detroit's legacy, and subtle traces of jungle and breaks influences. This amalgamation results in a sonic tapestry uniquely his own, marked by an ongoing artistic evolution. Arthur's ventures extend beyond the realm of techno, occasionally venturing into crafting soundtracks that resonate harmoniously with cinematic narratives. An eagerly awaited film score, slated for release in late 2019 or early 2020, marks the culmination of this diversification. Beyond his artistic pursuits, Arthur shares his insight through teaching sound design and music production, viewing the role of educator as paramount in his perpetual pursuit of excellence. As a seasoned electronic musician, Arthur Robert commands stages globally, his live performances crafted through a symphony of synthesizers and samplers. His music transcends boundaries, engaging audiences with a testament to the timeless potency of creativity.

    the whole biography
    Her story began in Canada, where she started developing her style while exploring Montreal’s underground scene — a space that shaped her raw, hypnotic, percussive sound and gave her the freedom to experiment. Her music is about creating a space, a feeling. Abstract textures and deep rhythms come together in her mixes and productions, guiding listeners on an atmospheric journey that feels both personal and infinite. Isabel’s sets are driven by a powerful energy that stays with you long after the last track fades. With her own label, NYXII Records, and releases on respected imprints, including her debut EP on Ostgut Ton, Isabel is doing things her way — organically, steadily, and with real heart. Her rise isn’t about hype; it’s about the connections she creates, one track, one set, one night at a time.

  • Steffi

    Netherlands · 13 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Born in the Netherlands, Steffi began playing records in her small home town in the mid 90s.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born in the Netherlands, Steffi began playing records in her small home town in the mid 90s. In search of broader horizons for her creative expression (a common thread in her artistic journey), Steffi moved to Amsterdam and established herself in the city with DJ residencies and her own underground parties. The diverse approach to sound that she cultivated during this period remains fundamental to all aspects of her creative work today. Resistant to conventional notions of career moves or self-promotion, it was her original vision and pursuit of new challenges that brought her to Berlin in the early 00s and to the city’s emblematic Berghain. As one of the club’s more adaptable residents, Steffi can be found in control of any one of the building’s celebrated dancefloors, transmitting her deep knowledge and appreciation for all forms of dance music. From broken beat, IDM, electro, classic house and Detroit techno to genre-breaking sounds from all eras – Steffi will play it as long as it’s funky and it grooves. Her experience and lasting enthusiasm for her craft have translated effortlessly to the international clubs and festivals – big and small – at which she has long been a staple, as well as to milestone mixes and compilations for Berghain/Panoramabar, fabric and Air Texture. As a producer, Steffi has an extensive discography that reflects her constant development as a musician. A long and fertile relationship with Ostgut Ton began with the release of her hit single Yours (2010) and debut album Yours & Mine (2011) (both reissued in 2022 on DESTEFSTER, her new sub-label dedicated to her own club-oriented output past and present). Two further solo albums followed – Power Of Anonymity (2014) and World Of The Waking State (2017) – and a co-production on Virginia’s debut album, Fierce For The Night (2016). With Martyn, Steffi released the Doms & Deykers album Evidence From A Good Source (2016) on 3024, and under the solo alias Crushed Soul she released the Family Of Waves EP (2020) on Dark Entries. As a remixer, Steffi has worked with both established artists and emerging producers whose music resonates with her, most recently Christine And The Queens, St Vincent, SebastiAn, Josh Caffé, Max Cooper, Azo and FJAAK. Through all of this output, Steffi has developed a varied sound that balances classic dancefloor accessibility with a desire to push at the boundaries of genre convention and production techniques. In parallel with her production work, Steffi has nurtured two long-running labels – Klakson, founded in 2000, and Dolly, founded in 2010 – which continue to release a distinct blend of electro, breaks, Chicago and Detroit house and techno by a range of respected producers to this day. Both imprints have also been home to Steffi’s own joint projects with likeminded artists, such as Dexter, Stingray, Shed, John Daly and, more recently, Sepehr and Privacy (as Negroni Nails). Her reputation for collaboration and expertise in the studio has also seen her perform the role of mentor for several music education programmes, including Red Bull Music Academy in 2018. In recent years, Steffi’s tireless search for new ground has been made tangible in a permanent move to Portugal, where, with Virginia, she founded the label, studio space and artist-driven creative hub Candy Mountain, a platform through which she continues to push herself and the community around her forwards. This new home base in the hills outside Lisbon – framed by an abundant garden that she tends with the same care as her ever growing studio – gives a simple, even romantic impression, but its relevance and impact, like Steffi’s, are truly global. The first project that captures the spirit of Candy Mountain is her latest solo LP, The Red Hunter. With her new studio setup, she plunges even deeper into the details of sound processing, bringing complex, modulating grooves and textures into the foreground while intentionally preserving the song-like arrangements that have always made her work so relatable. For Steffi, the process itself is as rewarding, if not more so, than the final output, and she applies this same attitude to the careful planning and curation of her unique live performances. All of these new initiatives are the latest proof of the hard work, determination and total immersion in music that have led Steffi to where she is today, while also being the perfect indication of where she wants to go in the future.

    Frankfurt · 10 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Gerd Janson is running the German label Running Back together with Thorsten Scheu (aka Glance).”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Gerd Janson is running the German label Running Back together with Thorsten Scheu (aka Glance). As many kids who have grown up in the early 90s in the South West of Germany, Gerd Janson was a regular guest at Mannheim’s legendary Milk Club. Although this venue was most popular for putting jungle on the map in Germany, Gerd always used to wait eagerly for the early morning hours when the pace slowed down and US styled house was the ruling sound. In the following years, his deep love for house and disco music was fed in Frankfurt’s Wild Pitch Club by Heiko MSO and Ata. In 1998, Gerd Janson finally had his first DJ residency at Darmstadt’s Café Kesselhaus. Gerd Janson has been serving the hottest house and disco cuts at Frankfurt’s Robert Johnson where he has been hosting the Liquid club nights together with DJ heavyweight Thomas Hammann for the past few years. Without a doubt, Gerd Janson is one of the hottest talents on the German DJ circuit. The word has spread, and so he’s travelling a lot as a DJ now. And when not spinning records he’s known as a prolific music journalist writing for Groove magazine or Spex …, or he’s busy working at the Pentagon Recordstore in his hometown Darmstadt and as part of the staff for the Red Bull Music Academy. Recently, he even started doing shitty remixes for acts like Antena or DJ Designer Imposter and released a compilation of weirdo 80ies jams together with Jazzanova on Sonar Kollektiv. Don’t you like that? Red Bull Music Academy Radio Bio: One of our most treasured Academy team members, Gerd Janson is the quintessential DJ’s DJ, unearthing the gems that get other music lovers hot and excited. The man has his plate full. Whether at the helm of the long-running Liquid club night at Frankfurt’s Robert Johnson with DJ comrade Thomas Hammann, dishing out simmering analog House as co-owner of label Running Back, or penning many a story for Germany’s Spex and Groove magazines, not to mention his scholarship of American studies, he seems to run on more powerful batteries than the rest of us. Enjoy this adventure through magic dance music new & old, with special guest appearance by Kool DJ Pink Alert. It’s risky, but it’ll make you frisky.
