Based in Amsterdam, she has performed at De School, Garage Noord, Tresor, Ratherlost, Pax Romana, Raum, Dekmantel and Paral·lel Festival. Her sets are carefully constructed through layered rhythms, low frequencies and shifting textures, moving between hypnotic intensity and avant-garde subtlety. Across different tempos and forms, from ambient to techno and diverse rhythmic structures, Cobahn connects contrasting elements, textures and spaces into a continuous flow.often with CatMint, Toru Ikemoto, Clarisse, none of them here that night

the whole biography
D-LERIA Giuseppe Scaccia also known as D-Leria, a sonic virtuoso in the studio and a chaos creator on the dancefloor, embarked on his DJ journey in 2001. Swiftly transitioning to studio production, he garnered international recognition in Hardcore and became a fixture at major festivals, particularly in the Netherlands. In 2014, he gave life to D-Leria, releasing a series of EPs that served as a canvas for his evolving musical style. This transformative period also saw him take on dual roles as an artist and manager at Delirio record label, where he curated a space for avant-garde talents with a focus on authentic live recording. Relocating to Berlin, Giuseppe immersed himself in new inspirations and devoted five years to meticulously crafting his debut album, 'Driving to Nowhere.' The result was a sonic masterpiece that quickly captivated the attention of electronic music luminaries. D-Leria’s artistic trajectory continued to ascend as he found a home in prestigious labels such as Avian, Semantica, Non Series, Sublunar, Monument. He contributed to noteworthy compilations, showcasing his style finesse and leaving his mark with remixes, various EPs and collaborative projects. Over the past few years, D-Leria has taken the global stage by storm, venturing on active touring with debuts in historical and iconic clubs and festivals, reaching new continents, communities and audiences. This journey reached a zenith with the unveiling of his groundbreaking and revolutionary modular live set at a festival in HALL Tallinn in 2022. The reverberations of this innovative performance carried into his 2023 live tour, leaving an enduring impact on distinguished venues and festivals worldwide including Tresor Berlin, Khidi Tbilisi, Radion Amsterdam, Freedom Festival Medellin, Gare Porto, Closer Milan, Ratherlost Amsterdam, UTD festival Białystok and more.Their RA profile lists Semantica Records, Children of Tomorrow, Avian, Non Series and 6 more.Recently at Berghain · often with Berghain, Steffi, Primal State, none of them here that night

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 Berghain, Kater, Latitude Record Store · often with Claudio PRC, jay york, Richard Akingbehin, none of them here that night

“Electronic music producer and DJ based in Berlin from New Delhi,India, working under the moniker ELM.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Electronic music producer and DJ based in Berlin from New Delhi,India, working under the moniker ELM. The name was inspired by a book I read during my teenage years, where elm trees served as gathering points for traveling artists—places of rest, exchange, and inspiration. That image resonated deeply with me and continues to inform my creative philosophy. I see ELM as a sonic shelter of sorts—where ideas take root, and contrasts between light and shadow, energy and introspection, are explored through sound. My work focuses on crafting immersive, narrative-driven experiences through electronic music. Drawing from the more unconventional sides of techno, I blend intricate rhythms with bold lead elements, textured noise, and atmospheric layers. Each composition is designed to guide the listener through a journey—both physical and emotional—using sound as a storytelling tool. I have released music on reputable Indian labels such as Qilla Records and Observant. Additionally, I participated in a workshop organized by Catalyst Institute in Berlin, where he collaborated with musicians from the Rundfunk Symphonie Orchester and performed music with them. In addition to producing and performing, I compose music for film and visual media, where I can explore another dimension of narrative and mood. With over a decade of DJ experience, I’ve had the opportunity to perform at respected venues and festivals across India and Berlin —experiences that continue to shape my approach to both live performance and studio productionTheir RA profile lists Qilla Records.often with phazer., YonZ, Makeen, none of them here that night

Erika dreams on the cellular level, or perhaps of transdimensional intelligences moving through strange patterns on celestial objects, working towards a mysterious goal. Her connection to the dreamworld becomes concrete in her approach to music, simultaneously so solid and yet so ethereal. Erika still finds time to accomplish many things in her waking hours, such as being a member of Ectomorph, co-conspirator of Detroit's Interdimensional Transmissions record label, DJing and making music with her pet machines. Her freeform streaming radio station erika.net was one of the very first iTunes presets, running 24x7 for 17 years from 1999 to 2016. Prior to that, Erika was very involved in WCBN-FM Ann Arbor, as a freeform and jazz DJ, and Program Director. The daughter of a famed scientist and already running a well known BBS from her bedroom by the time she was 13, Erika is no stranger to expressing her ideas through technology. In 1997 she was handed a TR-606 and asked to join Ectomorph, and has since become an electronic musician of the highest order, focusing on analog synthesis, with live hardware sequencing that allows transformation over time and a deep depth of tone. to book live or DJ — NA: michelle@thebunkerny.com rest of world: mike@berytus.artTheir RA profile lists Tresor, Interdimensional Transmissions, Modular Cowboy, Acid Test and 2 more.Recently at Tresor / Globus, RSO.BERLIN, OHM · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Lexicon, none of them here that night

“Kangding Ray’s complex sound aesthetic tests boundaries, evolving tirelessly in its exploration of texture, rhythm, and sound design.”

Kangding Ray’s complex sound aesthetic tests boundaries, evolving tirelessly in its exploration of texture, rhythm, and sound design. KR has remixed artists such as Martin Gore and Ben Frost on Mute, Battles on Warp, Oscar Mulero on Polegroup or Inigo Kennedy on Token. Letellier’s foundations in rock and musique concrete give his music a vitality and uniqueness that has won fans the world over, from discerning avant-garde–electronica listeners, all the way to devoted clubbers. Those who have been following Letellier since his debut album, 2006’s Stabil, will recognize not only his meticulous and constantly developing approach to sound design, but also the conceptual gravity behind his releases. Through a string of recent EP’s and albums, culminating with the critically acclaimed “Solens Arc”, KR showed his ability to keep his artistic approach while delivering direct and powerful club-leaning tracks and darkly cinematic soundscapes. On 2015’s “Cory Arcane”, he pushed the limits of his sound even further. Relinquishing standard rhythmic structures and conventional tonal models, he delivered what is perhaps his most sophisticated release yet; a raw and visceral universe, allowing a more fluid dialogue between soul and machines. 2017’s “HYPER OPAL MANTIS” released on Stroboscopic Artefacts heralds a new era for Kangding Ray, where he explores the tension between the natural and artificial, the body and mind, which are central themes in electronic music in general, and Techno in particular. The means of creation, focused around technology and interactions with machines, contrast with the emotional response to sound, the mystical ritual of collective dancing, and the ethos of liberation and tolerance embedded in the culture it has produced. As he describes it himself in a recent interview : “I’ve been evolving since a couple of years at the outer fringes of the club culture, where it overlaps with different experimental and avant-garde genres. While i intend to continue to explore that zone as a free maverick, i also wanted to give something back to the scene, something strong, beautiful and functional at the same time, while retaining enough personality to be exciting.” ( Adapted from words by Vincent Morris)Their RA profile lists Mute Records, Warp Records, Raster-Noton, Token and 6 more.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Berghain, Genezareth-Kirche · often with Ne/Re/A, Berghain, Clarisa Kimskii, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Tauceti has been one of the figures of this new generation of techno artists to follow very closely for a few years now. First as a DJ, where she distills a dark, tropical and sensual techno with percussive and vaporous rhythms in her mix. She further stands for a very particular elegance and a certain, clearly audible maturity, which makes her stand out. Tauceti then also stepped up as a producer, thanks to collaborations and EPs, the last of which appeared on the 30D Records in 2022. Through this work of exploration of and in between sonorous patterns, she demonstrates her talent to break down silos, oscillating between ambient and techno, between strange reverie and raw realism, between bright lights and heavy tablecloths.Their RA profile lists 47 and WSNWG – BACK TO ZERO.Recently at Tresor / Globus, RSO.BERLIN · often with ROBUS, SUMME, Ne/Re/A, none of them here that night

Toxido crafts immersive soundscapes that transcend the ordinary, sculpting worlds where texture, energy, and precision collide. A master of both live performance and studio creation, her work spans from the weightless and atmospheric to the intense and driving, seamlessly moving between ambient, halftime and techno. With a background in sound design, she approaches each project with meticulous attention to detail, shaping every moment into a sensory experience that lingers long after the sound fades. Her sonic universe is one of depth, intricacy, and relentless exploration—where every track is a journey and every mix an invitation to lose yourself in the unknown. As a resident at Tresor Berlin and curator of the 'OMM Transmission' podcast and event series, Toxido continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in sound.Their RA profile lists Tresor, Semantica Records, Pregnant Void and Aneelhi Rec.Recently at Crack Bellmer, OHM, Berghain · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Romi, none of them here that night
