their own biography
the whole biography
Raised far from the gravitational pull of dance music hubs, Dallas-born Decoder developed his craft outside traditional DJ circuits, shaping a singular voice defined by independence that remains central to his sound today. First opening Fruity Loops at the age of ten, Decoder's relationship with electronic music began free from expectation or institutional pressure. His early productions were guided as much by video game soundtracks, synth-pop and rhythm as by techno itself, resulting in music that is light and inquisitive. That playfulness has endured. Over time, his productions have evolved, with a distinctive sci-fi-feeling that's grounded in the techno's founding principles. Drum-led, full-bodied and often carrying a quiet melancholia, his discography draws a clear lineage from Detroit techno's futurist restraint and experimental traditions, all the while still resisting easy categorisation. Influences range from the microtonal explorations of Aleksi Perälä to the hypnotic patience associated with Perlon-era minimalism and Ricardo Villalobos, all filtered through an instinctive sense of play. Early support from Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills affirmed his commitment to this direction, recognition many artists work years to achieve. In the DJ booth, Decoder treats performance as a direct extension of the studio. Sets are often built largely from unreleased material, functioning closer to live testing grounds than traditional DJ performances—ideas are trialled, stripped back and reshaped in real time with close attention to the room. After formative experiences at warehouse parties and renegade events across Texas, he began touring internationally while still in his teens, logging sets at the likes of De School, FOLD and Watergate. 2025 marked a significant turning point, with an acclaimed set at Waking Life and his debut at Berghain. Alongside releasing on established labels, Decoder runs two imprints: Codec, a community-focused platform for collaborative projects, and TOCA, a more purist, physical-only label emphasising longevity and restraint. His forthcoming album Prakasa, released on Planet X, represents several years of studio development and reflects his continued interest in cohesion across time, genre and form. Now operating internationally, Decoder represents a measured reinvention of techno, one that looks forward without severing ties to the past. Retaining the independence forged in Dallas warehouses and DIY parties, he remains an artist shaped not by trends, but by curiosity, patience and a disciplined belief in the power of simplicity.Their RA profile lists Axis Records, Delsin, Subsist, Blank Code and 2 more.Recently at Latitude Record Store, Block1 · often with Claudio PRC, jay york, Kangding Ray, none of them here that night

“Character unlocked: karete bu.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Character unlocked: karete bu. Rooted in House groovers, UK-leaning rhythms, and a weakness for records with a bit of dusty history. Her sets are guided by hipswings that occasionally take a left turn when the room is ready for it, sharp timing, and a tendency to let things simmer until they don’t. As a former resident at Leipzig’s Institut fuer Zukunft, she fostered young talent in the DJ rehearsal room and developed a sound that isn’t afraid of spectacle when the moment calls for it. Today, based in Berlin, she works for the beloved festival Nachti by Nachtdigital, helping to shape it from the inside out and keeping the backstage just as lively as the dancefloor.Last at Renate in Aug · often with Sven Dohse, Power Squad, Doudou MD, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
It was Franca’s school bus driver who brought her in touch with electronic music and made her buy her first vinyl’s. That was in 1996, at the age of ten. Many years and records later, Franca is loved around the globe for her energetic, creative and groove-driven dj-sets. She knows how to conquer the dancefloor, moving with her audience, listening carefully and always staying three records ahead of the crowd. She maintains a constant level of energy, playing on the fringes of house and techno. It’s no wonder why Franca’s fans give her their undivided attention at each and every show, and with one thrust of her arm to the air, you will remember why you love music and why you love to dance all over again. Franca was born in Munich, musically-raised in Cologne and now lives in Amsterdam. She is part of the Feines Tier agency, based in Cologne. She has just recently become a resident Dj at the famous Kater Blau club in Berlin. Also she holds residencies at the Feines Tier and WIR Schwestern parties in Cologne, as well as being part of the Confetteria collective in Amsterdam- The very same collective that was responsible for the legendary Shoeless Festivals and Alter Ego parties.Their RA profile lists Get Physical Music, URSL, With Compliments and Feines Tier.Recently at Renate, Kater · often with Caleesi, Britta Arnold, EXTRAEXTRA, none of them here that night

“Coming from the Ruhr area, Multifun discovered early on how important music and rave culture are to escape the grey industrial landscapes.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Coming from the Ruhr area, Multifun discovered early on how important music and rave culture are to escape the grey industrial landscapes. With a deep love for raw old-school sounds, combined with contemporary productions, she explores the lines between genres. Her library is filled with deep, percussive grooves and playful, spaced-out twists. She invites you on an energetic ride that’s both immersive and slightly unsettling in the best way. Driven by curiosity, she stays hungry for new sounds, artists, and ways to support and connect within the underground music scene. Having lived and actively participated in Berlin’s club scene for nearly a decade has given her a nuanced perspective on how club culture has evolved over the years. Beyond her work as a DJ, Multifun also works as a booker and visual artist for various events, contributing to the vibrant habitats of Berlin’s nightlife.Recently at DSTRKT Club Berlin, ://about blank, Komplex Berlin · often with Hanna Baertig, CHOREOPHILA, Schorli, none of them here that night
