their own biography
the whole biography
Carmen Electro is a project by a Finnish artist whose DJ sets and productions move fluidly through edges of house, techno, and driving club music. Rooted in a love for vinyl and shaped by years spent immersed in underground dance floors, her sets balance precision with intuition, drawing dancers into a primalistic journey that is both emotionally charged and rhythmically compelling. Known for weaving together driving grooves, atmospheric textures, and unexpected moments of tension and release, Carmen approaches DJing as a form of storytelling. Rather than chasing trends, she focuses on creating a sense of connection: between records, between bodies on the dance floor, and between the listener and herself. Her selections reflect a fascination with the transformative power of nightlife and the ways in which music can blur the boundaries between introspection and collective experience. Carmen’s work of exploring club culture as a space for ritual, self-discovery, and belonging extends outside the DJ booth. Through ongoing field research, productions, event organizing and her KUJE Records label initiatives, she is committed to nurturing communities that celebrate curiosity, authenticity, and the freedom to explore identity through sound. She’s a local resident at Berlin's infamous Tresor club as well as with the Selected Berlin collective.Their RA profile lists Seven.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Latitude Record Store, ÆDEN · often with TRESOR, ALI3N, slin, none of them here that night

the whole biography
As one of the most iconic artists of her generation, Ellen Allien embodies the core ethos of techno: a visionary who looks to the future for inspiration, carving out her own niche and presiding over an empire that has infused techno, rave, and dance music culture with her unique DNA. Ellen Allien’s journey through the years is a blueprint for a healthy underground community and grounded career in music. Her playful mind and openness to sharing knowledge, imbues her art with an energy and inspiration that’s been highly influential to the subculture across art, design and fashion in her native Berlin. Ellen’s eternally creative mind has led to the production of ten albums, to join her extensive back catalogue of singles, EPs and remix work for seminal labels like Warp and Mute. Most recently she’s collaborated with Italian band Ash Code to bring together dark wave and techno in a seamless dancefloor marriage, remixed Lebanon Hannover and Rosa Anschütz, as well as contributing tracks to compilations from Gegen and Serendeepity. In 2023 she celebrated the 20th Anniversary of her seminal album ‘Stadtkind’, her most recent album AurAA delivered emotional techno resonating far beyond the dancefloor. A dynamic selector who prides herself on her extensive knowledge of music and dance floors, she’s travelled the globe as a DJ playing at every major club on the circuit, and commanding the big stages at festivals from Europe to South America. Ellen runs her days long ‘We Are Not Alone’ raves at RSO in her beloved hometown Berlin, bringing the party worldwide as UFO Rave, and she hosts in-store record shop gigs as Vinylism. In her role as head of BPitch, and UFO Inc., Ellen channels her ceaseless passion for digging into A&R, seeking out and nurturing new talent, alongside established artists and friends. She has signed new artists to her labels, including German trans-media artist Rosa Anschütz, Dutch electronic producer extraordinaire Dollkraut/DJ Europarking, and supports the growth of future talents like Métaraph and Shaleen through the booking agency. Steering the label to become one of the most important platforms for underground electronica. BPitch operates in a league of all its own, influencing the scene at home, but with a global reach. Ellen Allien’s constant forward focus led to the conception of a brand new record label, UFO Inc. in 2018; as an incubator for rough, ravey, raw techno – providing an additional space for Ellen to release her tougher productions, purely for the dancefloor. 2020-22 presented an extremely difficult situation for Ellen and the rest of the global electronic music community as clubs and festivals were shut down. Unable to tour, she conceived the hugely successful Balcony Streaming sessions, hosted from her home in Berlin.The livestreams allowed her to continue DJing and engaging with her fanbase, while also supporting music from a wide range of artists, new and old. During this time, she channeled her curatorial experience into an expansive three-part (expanded to six in 2023) compilation series. Named after her We Are Not Alone parties, the collection comprised tracks from artists that embody the ethos; club music with a rugged aesthetic and an unapologetic dancefloor focus. Volumes four-six were released together with a film and installation as AFTER DARK with Ellen’s longtime collaborator the director/photographer Stini Roehrs.AFTER DARK exhibition premiered at the Hamburger Bahnhof modern art museum in Berlin in July, with a new soundtrack by Ellen.Their RA profile lists fabric Records, Mute Records, Warp Records, Spectral Sound and 6 more.Last at RSO.BERLIN in Oct · often with Spekki Webu, OLHA, Sarah Sommers, none of them here that night

Tipped as being one of Rotterdam’s best kept secrets in Techno, dj/producer ‘stranger’ moves in mysterious ways and has quickly proven to be one to watch. His first musical appearance in 2014 was quickly picked up by established names as Dave Clarke, Sven Vath and Marcel Dettmann, giving his career aswell as his own Self Reflektion label a major kick-start. While remaining in the background pushing forward talented artists and working on various projects such as the highly anticipated Paling Trax label, his dj-career is on the rise.

“Supergloss quickly conquered the modern electronic music scene with her sincere and melodic sound.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Supergloss quickly conquered the modern electronic music scene with her sincere and melodic sound. Inspired by the acid and trance of the 90s and 00s, Lina not only borrows key elements of the rave sound but also reinterprets them, giving them a fresh look and a modern sensibility. Her music combines sensuality and drama expressed in pads and leads with the fighting character of the 303 acid synth, which completely reflects her persona - strong, but gentle. In a short time, Supergloss has not only found her audience but also become a significant figure in the European electronic scene. She skillfully balances between festival and club sounds, without limiting her creative potential to genres. Supergloss's first solo release was a double EP "Space Office", released on January 17 2025, on the legendary trance label from 90s - Noom Records. This debut was not only a great achievement for Lina but also a kind of manifesto of devotion to the sound of acid trance. In April 2025, a sequel followed - "Space Office (Part 2)", which expands the sonic palette of the original, adding retro-futuristic soundscapes, 90s atmosphere, and pulsating energy of techno. However, the first release in her career was a vinyl collaboration with producer Omon Breaker - "Visual Freak" EP, released in May 2024. This was the first step in their joint work, and the continuation was not long in coming. Their next release, the EP "Programmed Destiny", was released under the new duo Escape on Tape, combining their influences from the past. Supergloss continues to develop her career, performing at festivals and club venues all over Europe, and her music resonates with listeners who appreciate sincerity, melody and deep emotion in electronic music. Alongside the development of her own artistic career, Supergloss has begun to focus on the cultural side of the scene. In August 2025, she launched her new label, X-IZE - a project that both reinterprets and celebrates the spirit of 90s rave culture. The label draws inspiration from the musical and visual heritage of old Berlin. X-IZE is not just about releasing records, it's about building a cultural movement that boldly declares: “real rave is still alive.”Recently at OXI, Else · often with WILDERÍCH, Serafina, EMILIJA, none of them here that night
“For Guy Blanken, music is a matter of the heart, and a boundless playing field for sonic explorations.”
their own biography
the whole biography
For Guy Blanken, music is a matter of the heart, and a boundless playing field for sonic explorations. His compulsive curiosity has led him to unusual corners of the electronic music realm – spawning a multifaceted, yet distinctive discography. As Makam, he has investigated anything from exhilarating club anthems to contemplative downtempo moods. And as Talismann, he is probing ever deeper into the abyss of sinister soundscapes and industrial drum patterns. When Guy hasn’t locked himself in the studio, or isn’t tending to one of his labels, he loves engaging with the dance floor during one of his tireless DJ or live sets. Finding a home at Amsterdam institutions like Trouw, and De School (the now closed down) Dekmantel has given him the opportunity and freedom to connect with fellow travellers, and continue on his fascinating musical journey. Talismann is Guy’s darker incarnation. From the moment he delivered tracks like ‘Mars Wars’ and ‘Zula’ (2012), his take-no-prisoner approach has been indisputable. Talismann Records has cemented its position as the home of intense, inky techno and ambient. Moreover, Slagmann, his collaboration with Slagwerk Den Haag, has resulted in one of the most experimental, and arguably most intriguing albums in his oeuvre ‘Krysalis’. Following the release of his illustrious 3-part album ‘PERCUSSION’, Talismann boldly articulates his distinctive vision of techno. Embarking on the esteemed KLINIEK series, a nine-part EP collection, he delves into uncharted territories and boundaries to redefine the essence of late-night destress. Guy meticulously refines his unparalleled vision forged from over two decades of club expertise through the exclusive KLINIEK events, The story continues.Their RA profile lists Talismann.often with GLOBUS, Ranma Entero, TSSRCT, none of them here that night
