Her approach is uncompromising, rooted in authenticity, exploration, and the transformative power of sound. Within her sets, layers of tension and release, subtle textures and sweeping energy create narratives that linger long after the music fades. Her artistry balances technical precision with emotional depth. Beatrice’s performances are not simply presentationshey are spaces for connection, reflection, and shared experience, where listeners are invited to lose themselves and discover unexpected emotions. Beyond the decks, she is a storyteller, a curator of feeling, and a visionary.

    the whole biography
    Born and raised in Morocco, Chami has been djing there before moving to Lyon, France where he discovered his passion for techno. Now based in Berlin, where he has definitely become fully integrated in the Berlin local underground scene. Chami is one of those artists that truly reflects the spirit of techno, no superficial exterior surface of these days but only focusing on the pure art form itself. He is also part of the face 2 face project with OPH where they played facing each other using 2 mixers and 4 vinyl turntables which lead them to play multiple times in Berghain. He is also part of the Minijob French crew which organizes illegal raves in abandoned locations in the outskirts of Berlin, welcoming everyone regardless of genre, origin and sexuality with a wide variety of music from house disco and techno. These events are organized without public promotion and managed to gather a solid regular audience base that supports their values and trusts what they do. With his strong and determined vinyl only sets Chami is able to showcase his talent on the decks and demonstrate his deep knowledge for this very technical art. When listening to him, you can lock in for clean, rhythmic and mental hours of no bullshit techno.

  • Mareena

    Berlin · 16 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Mareena's deep connection with electronic music began in her early teenage years in East Germany, where she experienced the quaking rise of techno.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Mareena's deep connection with electronic music began in her early teenage years in East Germany, where she experienced the quaking rise of techno. Growing up amidst youth club culture and underground parties in abandoned buildings, she was shaped by the no-nonsense, freedom-oriented spirit of the post-communist era. But it was when she moved to Berlin in 2004, that she started DJing, and the city and its vigorous nightlife contributed immensely to her understanding as an artist. Musically spoken, her roots branch deep into the spirit and sound of dub techno and pre and early 2000s techno productions. Adding to this foundation, Mareena has developed a statement sound characterized by rhythmic, lively, and non-linear beats that create an unrelenting flow of energy on the dancefloor. This foundation has earned a long-standing residency (since 2012) in the techno institution Tresor, which stands for a similar ethos. Authentic, but always evolving. Her ability to include hard and elegant elements into her vinyl-oriented sets has led her to play at renowned clubs across the globe - Berghain, De School, Faust Seoul or for the Bunker New York events. Mareena brings that club spirit also to life at the festivals she played, ranging from the cutting edge Up To Date Festival to ravier happenings like the Third Room and not to forget her ambient appearances like at Mostra Barcelona. As opposites are necessary to create balance and harmony, another facet of Mareena’s DJing is the subtle and evocative touches of her ambient sets. Mindfulness, slowing down and the art of contemplation are equally important to Mareen than the dancefloor euphoria. This has led her to found the event series, podcast and label UNRUSH in 2016. Unrush focuses on different hues of ambient music and therefore likes to be a counterpoint to today's fast-paced society. Mareena's career extends beyond DJing into production, too. Productions, that celebrate her love of synthesizers and don't stick to any of the classic genre boxes. So far, Mareena has released on labels like Muzan Editions, Tresor, and her imprint, Unrush. Her collaborative album with JakoJako, "Atlas Der Gedanken," is dedicated to different shades of ambient that make the listener reflect inwards and gaze outwards simultaneously through its organic and electronic touches. Mareena's credibility and authenticity, paired with a daring style, make her a key presence in today’s electronic music culture and carry its spirit forward.

  • Measure Divide

    Pakistan · 2 bookings since Dec 2025

    “Measure Divide is the project of Fahad, a Karachi-born and Toronto-based DJ, producer, and community builder.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Measure Divide is the project of Fahad, a Karachi-born and Toronto-based DJ, producer, and community builder. He moved to Canada in 2004, discovered electronic music soon after, and spent eight years touring internationally in a duo before stepping out on his own in 2012 to develop a sharper, more individual sound under the Measure Divide moniker. The following year he founded FORMAT, the underground event series that helped reshape Toronto’s techno landscape. What began as a small initiative grew steadily into one of North America’s key platforms for boundary-pushing electronic music, known for its curation, its risk-taking, and its deep community roots. On stage, Measure Divide’s sets move with raw physical energy: quick pivots, sharp edges, layers that build, collide, and redirect without warning. This approach has taken him across Europe, North America, and South America, with performances at institutions such as Berghain, Tresor, Boiler Room, Stereo, Under Club, K41, Public Records, and others pushing the global underground forward. As a producer, he gravitates toward grit, tension, and experimentation. His recent output includes Everything Is Porridge on Mutual Rytm X, alongside earlier releases Green Parallel and Evidence of a Rhythmic Pattern on Clergy, each built from metallic textures, unruly momentum, and an obsessive attention to detail. Over more than a decade, his catalog has earned steady respect for its individuality and refusal to follow formula. With FORMAT now more than a decade deep, Fahad continues to connect global and local circuits, bringing international voices to Toronto while amplifying the city’s own. In an industry in which egotistic and mercenary personalities are all too common, his steady, humble approach is a breath of fresh air. Driven by a passion for the music above all else and by a desire to create spaces where others can experience it fully, he has become a true linchpin of Toronto’s techno community, bringing the best of the world to the city and showing the best of the city to the world.

  • Olivia Mendez

    Lyon, France · 11 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Olivia is a record proxenete, dealing grooves across territories her unique sound can reach.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Olivia is a record proxenete, dealing grooves across territories her unique sound can reach. Strongly influenced by the sounds of Senegalese drums as a child, both as a percussionist and dancer, she eventually fell in love with the post modern aesthetics embedded in Detroit’s industrial landscapes. From Brooklyn to Kiev, she has been queering consciousness through her roaring, pulsing, sonorous soundscapes. Entangled in the UK underground for 5 mad years, Breakbeat, IDM, Experimental, DnB, Dub and Techno were some of the defining genres she explored as an artist. As a passionate vinyl archaeologist she keeps roaming record shops to excavate forgotten pieces that she cross-pollinates with the avant-garde, aiming to keep the magic, encoded in music, alive. Her background as a France and UK based music journalist, artist and event promoter imbues her DJ sets with an eclectic range, playfully leading us through deep, steady minimalistic journeys. She is also the founder of the FLINTA collective KONVENT, intending to create positive spaces to reinvestigate and elevate the discourse on contemporary feminism, through site-specific music and art interventions, where she smashes the patriarchy one beat at the time.

  • Sev Dah

    Sweden · 3 bookings since Oct 2025

    “Berlin, Detroit, Birmingham and, of course, Sarajevo.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Berlin, Detroit, Birmingham and, of course, Sarajevo. Bosnian-built and -bred Sev Dah may be a Swedish expat, but the Balkan blackness clings strongly to the bleak percussions and rigidly uneasy synthetics that unwillingly fuse into his strongly individual take on techno. Authentically purveying the pulsations of the nakedly throbbing and ugly world, far away from Starbucks and H&M. Signed to respected labels such as Random Island, Mote-Evolver and Kaiser's KSR, he quickly gnawed his way into the scene’s core of DJs and producers. Sev is even managing new projects on his own label Proletarijat since 2016. Like a rabid mongrel, since 1998 he has been chewing and belching new bastard beats that are aching to scream out. Consequently there’s a steaming and steady stream of vinyl releases coming. With influences ranging from Stigmata and Mills to Master Reese and Petar Dundov, Sev Dah is a versatile but headstrong DJ that can gently ease a thumb in at midnight or fervently thrust it down the hatch at peak time. Book Sev Dah: elijana@proletarijat.com

  • Stojche

    North Macedonia · 3 bookings since Dec 2025

    “Musical trends may fluctuate over time, but some artists remain pillars unscathed by the change in the tides.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Musical trends may fluctuate over time, but some artists remain pillars unscathed by the change in the tides. One such artist is undoubtedly Stojche Cvetanovski. Native of Skopje, Macedonia, he established himself as a notable undeground techno figure. The vibrant scene and the expansion of the Motor City sounds in the Macedonian capital, triggered him to explore his own path in his futuristic music phenomenon called Techno. After a decade devoted to djing, he shifted to producing, and in 2009 he co-founded “Argumento Music”. Stojche is one of the names on the European circuit that broke through by array of contributions to labels like A.r.t.less, Syncrophone, Fuse Brussels, Conform, Mutual Rytm, alongside many others. In 2011 he launched hissolo imprint “Tangible Assets”. An outlet that has given him the freedom to explore and refine his trademark Detroit – schooled dubbed out productions. “Tangible Assets” reflects a personal statement with emphasized appreciation for the history of techno music. His "Minor-scale funk" sound signature, assembled a discographic résumé that passed the test of time. He is consistent in pushing forward the timeless envelope of the “hi-tech soul” legacy. In contrast, as a dj that is deep in harmony with the roots of techno, electro or dub, he exudes the kind of tact that speaks nothing but the truth. Whether you find him in the basement of Tresor or Berghain, his dj sets providefurther evidence of many years spent behind the turntables, resulting in pounding yet dynamic journeys with a dose of emotional content. His constant pursuit for inspiration sits balanced with the pulse of the city life, and isworking tirelessly without fanfare to enrich a scene that sits close to his heart. Locked away in his studio in Madrid where passion and process all catalyze into waveforms of intense voyages, executed by a man who is well in tune with his craft.
    Their RA profile lists Syncrophone, Freund der Familie, Dogmatik Records, Argumento and 6 more.
