the whole biography
Working as a discjockey since 2007, Leon Licht has become an all-round DJ and a chameleon of sorts. Being knee deep into Berlin’s pulsating nightlife and his full dedication to the craft have cemented his way to the top. Growing a dedicated following and earning a reputation of delivering energetic vibes. First and foremost stands his ability to adapt his style to a particular mood, place and time. Keeping both ears open for current sounds and trends. But always staying true to his inner rave spirit and matching the energy of his audience. Be it the kind of organic tech-house that sounds like tennis balls being served, fury techno for peak time or a warm blanket of sounds for after-hours. As a lovechild of Berlin, Leon Licht’s interest for electronic music came through listening to music from 90’s Loveparade compilations and the days of MTV. His early interest and the abundance of nightlife in Berlin made for ideal conditions for his roots in rave to grow. Hanging out from Monday to Sunday in clubs grew the appetite to contribute to the scene himself. Meeting like minded people and absorbing every inch of nightlife along the way. These days he can be found touring all over Europe, but is always eager to return home to Berlin. Where he regularly plays Wilde Renate, Kater Blau, Watergate and his ever evolving residency in Sisyphos. Where he gets hordes of people into the groove and delivers his versatile array of flavours on any floor. With a steady stream of gigs lined up, he shows no signs of taming down his relentless hunger of being part of nightlife.Recently at Renate, Golden Gate, Hoppetosse · often with Rosa Kante, Sin:port, ABSINTH, none of them here that night

The Berlin based Nikklaas is not only more or less known as a DJ, but also behind the scenes, where he works for various projects, events & clubs. While DJing, he likes to take the audience with him and present his definition of electronic music, where house always forming the basis. His musical trademarks are definitely his always fresh and playful or all night long sets, in which diverse influences and a good portion of variety are always present. Ultimately the right mix of many things and a guarantee for nice vibes. The resident of Bulbul Berlin (formerly known as Farbfernseher) & founder of The Unknown has been an integral part of the scene and numerous line-ups for over a decade. In addition to many played venues and festivals in his hood, such as Sisyphos, Renate, Kater Blau, RSO, Feel Festival, Wilde Möhre Festival, Bucht der Träumer, Griessmuehle, Ipse, to name a few, there are many further stations in Germany, Europe and Asia. Other cornerstones are certainly also his many years of involvement with the collective Telekollegen, the former curation of the open-air-place Ein Stück vom Glück (ex-terrace of Maria am Ostbahnhof), as well as many other different event series over the years that he has supervised and his permanent DJ residencies in various clubs.Recently at Bulbul Berlin, Süss War Gestern, Kater · often with Better Call Paul, Casa Marrone, Monsai, none of them here that night

With a dramaturgical approach to DJ sets, Carl Bergé specializes in cross-genre selections built with exponential intensity, earning a residency at HÖR Berlin in 2025 and regular slots alongside artists such as Sally C, Marie Montexier, Sam Alfred, Kikelomo, Gabrielle Kwarteng, DJ Heartstring and Lovefoxy. While House music remains at the core of his sound, Carl’s productions blend his passion for deep, pacy and unconventional music - garnering support and recognition from icons such as Skin On Skin, DJ BORING and Job Jobse. Although he grew up in West-Germany, Carl’s passion for electronic music ignited in ever-sunny Australia, where he spent 12-hour farmwork shifts listening to early releases of Mall Grab and Ross From Friends on repeat. Further down the road, institutions like SASH, Revolver Upstairs and Naarm’s celebrated Breakfast Club shaped his taste and understanding of electronic music. After relocating to Berlin, he founded label and event series coconut concepts and quickly started playing in the esteemed club scene of the so-called “Techno Capital“. Besides a variety of festivals such as Amsterdam’s ADE, he played international debuts across UK, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria and more recently a tour through Nicaragua including a residency at the widely recognized Treehouse Club. Key venues on home turf and beyond include Cologne’s Gewölbe, Hamburg’s PAL, Mainz’s bürro, Vienna’s Praterstrasse and Berlin's usual suspects such as ELSE, RSO, Watergate and Sisyphos.Recently at Kater, Studio1111, Renate · often with Talia Dorr, SALIMATA, Pauly, none of them here that night
