their own biography
the whole biography
ANNA Z is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice moves between music, architecture, coding-based visual art and hardware. At the core of her work lies a deep fascination with modular synthesis and the possibilities of electronic sound. As a live performer and DJ, she has brought her distinctive approach to renowned venues, festivals and institutions including Superbooth, Freerotation, CTM, Tresor, Berghain, Blitz, Bassiani, FUSE and La Gaîté Lyrique, among others. Her performances are defined by an intuitive and exploratory approach to sound, combining intricate textures, bass-heavy pressure and rhythmic structures with an ongoing process of experimentation. Working predominantly with hardware, ANNA Z moves fluidly between IDM-inspired soundscapes, dubstep-influenced low end, deep techno and electro, creating a sound that is both detailed and physical. Since 2021, she has hosted KOMI, her own radio show on Radio80k, a noncommercial community radio based in Germany. Rooted in an open and independent spirit, KOMI explores electronic and contemporary music across genres, creating a space for discovery, exchange and experimentation. Alongside her musical practice, ANNA Z works across 3D Modeling, drawing, programming and mixed media, with music remaining the central thread connecting these different forms. She also shares her knowledge through workshops focused on modular synthesis, live performance and visual art, fostering spaces for collective learning and creative exchange.Their RA profile lists WERK Records and SPANDAU20.Recently at Dark Matter Berlin, RSO.BERLIN, Fitzroy · often with Dangermami, Henning Baer, DJ TOOL, none of them here that night

“Chris Liebing is on the creative hot streak of his life.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Chris Liebing is on the creative hot streak of his life. It’s now 30 years since his rocket ride through the dancefloors of global techno begun – but the current phase encapsulated on the 2026 Evolver album pulls together all the reasons he always loved what he does, all the things he’s learned, and a new-found confidence born of deep introspection, and channels it all into focusing and intensifying his DJ and production superpowers. The exact same energy he threw into his early residencies at the foundational techno temples Omen (Frankfurt) and Tresor (Berlin) is there, but enhanced with all technological advances and study of what moves ravers worldwide, it feels as vivid and important as ever. Chris grew up in a small town outside Frankfurt. As a boy he was always uncertain of himself yet was compelled to focus on what interested him. He pursued playing tennis to a very high level and felt that might be his path – but absolute obsession with music compelled him even more. From listening alone and deeply at home, through pause button cassette DJing at teenage parties, to a residency at a commercial club on the fringe of Frankfurt with rickety decks balanced on the bar, his desire to be surrounded by the sounds he loved, and also to work out the techniques that could draw others into what he was hearing and keep them locked in to it. A job at Sven Väth’s Eye-Q label led to a fortuitous chance in late 1995 to fill in for a last minute drop out in The Omen – which he smashed so convincingly he quickly became a big local name. His break at Tresor came in almost identical circumstances, and from then on he has been a watchword for the most fundamental, sweat-drenched, joyously powerful European techno which he has taken to dark cellars and vast festivals the world over. His productions, labels and radio / podcast work have likewise kept the faith for the pure, energetic forms of techno whatever trends have risen and fallen. There’ve been diversions into brooding experimentalism for the legendary Mute Records, but always that deep and powerful original pulse has been there, not least via his hugely influential CLR label – and now it’s stronger and more vividly present than ever.Their RA profile lists Ovum Recordings, Mute Records, novamute, Rekids and 6 more.Last at RSO.BERLIN in Aug · often with Truncate, Elli Acula, Alfred Czital, none of them here that night

Apart from his daytime job as a classically trained musician and studied sound engineer, he has been involved in many music and film projects over the last decade, enhancing Berlin’s electronic music scene as a DJ and promoter. While also staying behind the curtain mixing and mastering for renowned artists of all genres, his DJ-Sets range from high BPM banging techno to the subtle beauty of genre classics, never lacking the energy required to set any dancefloor on fire. Being a bit of a traditionalist, the sound of his own productions is deeply connected and rooted to the pioneering sound of Detroit and Chicago. With Fjaak’s Spandau20 label he found the ideal homebase and was featured regularly on their past releases, with a follow up right around the corner.Their RA profile lists Planet Rhythm Records, Unknown to the Unknown, IMF, SPANDAU20 and 1 more.often with Mor Elian, Eric Cloutier, OK Williams, none of them here that night

“Galactic funk streamlined in succession of outlined parameters.”

Galactic funk streamlined in succession of outlined parameters. Symbiotic dreams of effervescent moments. Sansibar steers this ship through intuitive impulses that are cut deep in the flesh, with the extension of his thoughts and process audible via labels such as Kalahari Oyster Cult, Darknet, Émotsiya, Natural Sciences and his own imprint, Sin Sistema. As a live performer, the Sansibarian take on things is raw and beautiful, pinned down by a steady drum machine pulse singing in unison with flailing efx’d out synths. On the disc jockey side of things an anything goes approach can be sensed, although a 100% adherence to groove is certain.
