Akua has cemented herself as one of the most distinctive techno DJs coming out of the U.S. in recent years, shining brightly at the forefront of a new generation of techno artists who are reviving the innovative and rebellious spirit of techno’s enduring velocity through their work. Her practice is a passionate dedication to archiving & activating timeless strains of raw and mechanized expression - leading the new school of North American machine funk, while harkening back to the revolutionary sonics of Detroit, Chicago, & New York City DJs throughout history. A recent move to Berlin, a city that has held a crucial role in the evolution of techno, has provided her with the opportunity to further develop her craft by embracing the transcontinental connection that originally ignited the inspiration for the techno movement worldwide. Her one-of-kind, no-nonsense style brings a necessary & poignant intensity to today’s dancefloors, eschewing trends of the moment and channeling the essence of techno into an authentic wavelength that’s completely intuitive to her being. This unique display of influences plays out in Akua's unrivaled sets heard around the world - from exerting her celebrated prowess behind the decks at renowned New York clubs like Basement and Nowadays, to unleashing landmark sets at Movement Detroit, Berghain FUSE Brussels, Dekmantel, Draaimolen, & FOLD London. Already seasoned on the European tour circuit, 2024 sees her career encompassing new trajectories & widening her global reach into tours through Asia & Australia. With a wealth of knowledge and expertise, she effortlessly embodies an enthralling old-school sound while keeping her finger on the pulse of contemporary producers that also embody the authentic energy of techno’s turn-of-the-century peak. As her boundless legacy steadily expands, she continues to cultivate respect and adoration from the most discerning of DJs & dancers alike through her incredible mixing finesse and constantly expanding repertoire of futureproof classics.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Berghain, RSO.BERLIN · often with 1morning, Juana, Shyboi, none of them here that night

the whole biography
He has a rare ability to work his way into peoples’ minds in both contemporary and classical settings, conjuring real mood and atmosphere. Never one to pay heed to the zeitgeist, he prefers to deal in hypnotic soundscapes that really take you on a trip. Enigmatic as he is, and laidback as he seems, as an artist he is constantly unveiling new work. Displaying a large variation in terms of sound and method across many new releases each year — some of which come on his co-owned label Spazio Disponibile — he also puts out installations for public spaces and museums, uses obscure musical instruments, collaborates with likeminded producers, classical singers or visual artists. Donato seems to continuously challenge himself on a creative level: whatever method he uses, though, he is always likely to permeate your cerebral cortex and rewire it in fascinating and compelling new ways.Their RA profile lists Mental Groove, Lan Muzic, Dozzy Records, Plak Records and 6 more.often with Matisa, Francesco Farfa, Fred P, none of them here that night

As a founding member and creative director of SPANDAU20, Elli Acula has played a pivotal role in shaping the label’s distinct sound. Her breakout collaboration, “To The Peak” with FJAAK and Steffi (Ostgut Ton), marked a significant milestone, receiving acclaim and support from leading names in Techno and Electro. Since then, her artistry has continued to evolve, with standout releases like "Pleasure" on Fabric Records, "BFF" on SPANDAU20, and a lauded remix of KiNK's "For The People" on Hypercolour. Beyond the studio productions and live shows, her sets have reached global audiences through highly successful live streams, including Arte Concert at Stone Techno Festival and Berlin TXL, Mixmag Lab at Awakenings Festival, Boiler Room at Boomtown Festival, HÖR Berlin & more - further cementing her reputation as a driving force in the international scene. Euphoria Sessions by Elli Acula began as a stream series from unique, high-impact locations, designed to create immersive experiences. From there, it naturally transitioned into curated club nights, debuting at Fabric London and expanding worldwide. Always evolving, its goal remains clear: to craft cutting-edge experiences in exceptional spaces and foster a collective energy that transcends the dancefloor.Their RA profile lists Hypercolour, SPANDAU20 and fabric Originals.Last at RSO.BERLIN in Sep · often with VINVAR, Phil Berg, Kim She, none of them here that night

His roots are in between dust of sand and waves of salt water. Ignez grew up near the coast of The Netherlands where hypnotizing waves and infinitive dunes shaped his sound. He fled the conservative world by sketching his own reality with these elements of nature. This became inextricably linked within his consciousness and reflects back into his music today, bringing a tight yet indefinable techno sound. He has shaped his own path through his imprint, Somov Records, where he unveiled his distinctive sound and artistic vision for the first time. In addition to his own imprint, he has made an indelible impact on influential labels such as Token and SK_eleven, enchanting audiences worldwide with mesmerizing releases. Notably, Ignez has collaborated with Rødhåd. Together, they have created two EPs that showcase their unique musical synergy. In his DJ sets, Ignez transports the audience into a mesmerizing sonic journey, captivating their senses and lifting the dancefloor to a higher state of being and a collective oceanic feeling. His driving, hypnotic, and minimalistic approach pulls listeners into a magnetic trance, where the pulsating rhythms and ethereal melodies create an immersive sonic experience. His residency at the esteemed underground Eerste Communie has been the cornerstone of his development as a DJ, fostering experience that has grown with him from a young age. From intimate club settings to renowned festivals, his sets evoke a transformative experience, inviting listeners to embark on a sonic odyssey and dive into the depths of his sonic universe.Their RA profile lists Token, SK_eleven, SEELEN., WSNWG and 2 more.Recently at Berghain, RSO.BERLIN · often with Berghain, Kim She, Disguised, none of them here that night

Frequent collaborator of Dark Entries records, he released his debut LP “Shaytoon” through their imprint in 2020. His DJ sets can range from off-kilter house and psychedelic techno, to haute electro, aphrodisiac acid and freaky jakbeat music.

“Part Miami Bass, vintage house bounce, and tribal euphoria, Coffintexts' music is a cocktail of indulgence served straight from the queer underground.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Part Miami Bass, vintage house bounce, and tribal euphoria, Coffintexts' music is a cocktail of indulgence served straight from the queer underground. When Coffintexts first burst onto the club scene in the late '10s, she was part of a new cohort of Miami producers reshaping dance music. Equally influenced by everything from 90s tribal rhythms to Latin American-inflected Club to UK rave, she emerged as part of the city's new guard. Putting out records on labels including Omnidisc, Club Romantico, Club QU, Classico, and a forthcoming record on TraTraTrax, she has quickly established herself as one of the Magic City's most vibrant musicians. Even within this crowded field, Coffintexts acts as a unique center of gravity. While drawing from the percussive promiscuity of her Peruvian heritage and the bass weight of her hometown, she also gravitated towards the cerebral funk of '90s hardgroove, wiggly house, and the chromatic polish of UK techno. Cutting her teeth in house parties and gay clubs across Miami, she's always gravitated towards the minimal, groove-focused energy of dance music at its most muscular and hypnotic. This background has put her into conversation not just with the 305, but with the larger global queer dance music cosmology and she's shared the decks with DJs like Volvox, ISAbella, and Shyboi. There aren't many producers and DJs who marry the paranoid and the psychedelic, the euphoric and the illicit, the darkroom and the big room, the mind and the body, like Coffintexts. As a producer, she's just as comfortable turning out lean and stripped back techno as she is sultry, bottom-heavy downtempo with occasional partner-in-crime Jonny from Space. Her DJing is just as adventurous. Her mixes for outlets like Crack and Mixmag showcase an ambitious and daring style where she jumps between tempos, eras, and genres without ever losing sight of that central current of hip-swinging groove. It's this intuitive and bodily approach to mixing that has kept dancefloors from Miami to Shanghai to Bristol, from Nowadays to III Points Festival to Razzmatazz gyrating and sweating it out until the early hours.Their RA profile lists Omnidisc, Femme Culture, Black Book Records, Club Qu and 4 more.often with CherrYO!kie, Avalon Emerson, livwutang, none of them here that night
