    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Hontas is a German DJ and curator based in Berlin, focused on rhythm-driven, narrative DJ sets. Classically trained in piano and with a background in dance, her approach is shaped by timing, structure, and physical response to sound. Electronic music became a central focus in 2012 through Kassel’s underground scene, where an ear for atmosphere and pulse developed. After stepping behind the decks in 2015, she soon earned a residency at Kassel’s Club ARM. From early on, her sets were structured as continuous journeys, built with clear progression and attention to long-form flow. The sound is defined by hypnotic rhythmic frameworks, precise track selection, and controlled tension. Weighty basslines are combined with restrained melodic elements, using loops, layers, and gradual transitions to create depth without excess. Each element is chosen for its function within the overall structure of the set. In addition to DJ work, Hontas has hosted and curated events throughout Central Germany, contributing to the regional electronic music community. Since relocating to Berlin in 2022, appearances have included several established venues, with regular performances at RSO. The current focus remains on cohesive, functional sets centered on rhythm, continuity and atmosphere.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Fascinated by the transformative power of music, Katnada chose to devote herself to deepening this exploration. Her journey began with piano — an intimate, cathartic practice. Electronic music gave that intimacy a new architecture: driving rhythms, atmospheric depth, and her own voice, woven into productions as a structural element. A resident at Amnesia Ibiza's Pyramid, with releases on AMTK+, Second State, Room Trax, Diffuse Reality, her music has been supported and played by Laurent Garnier, Ben UFO, Freddy K, Chlär, and Polygonia among others, finding its way onto the floors of Berghain, Tresor, Dekmantel, Waking Life, and more. In 2025, she launched Divine Nature — her own label, a space where the music explores themes of inner transformation, nature, and the dancefloor as a ritual for healing and collective transcendence.

    “Amsterdam’s visionary and fertile underground scene.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Amsterdam’s visionary and fertile underground scene. Emerging from the notorious rave community through his former residency at Orphic Amsterdam, where he perfected the craft of playing dancefloor and storyline inspired techno, this current Vault Sessions resident knows how to scan and adapt to any crowd. With a musical library spanning multiple sub-genres, tempos, and decades, Lobster always has the fitting track ready to be played out, scouting the dancefloor for the perfect moment. Uncompromising in his vision, Lobster has carved out his own unique space, steadfastly pushing his signature tripped-out high energy sound without succumbing to fleeting trends. Yet, despite his persistence, he remains ever-curious, constantly seeking fresh inspiration to fuel his creative fire. Combined with his unconditional passion for electronic music, it is certain Lobster is and will continue to be a dominant force in today’s techno scene. His commitment to consistency and keen sense of the crowd have led him to play sets for hungry audiences in venues all across the globe, like Bassiani, Awakenings, Vault Sessions, Freedom Medellin, Ratherlost, Basement New York, RSO, BRET, Laster Madrid and many more. As the years passed, his journey took a turn towards the studio, where the focus shifted from just playing music to creating it. Rejecting the notion of rigidly defining what a track should be before it’s made, Lobster embraces a more organic approach. For this artist, creativity isn't about control; it's about flow. This approach has allowed him to produce tracks that resonate with authenticity and his raw emotion.

  • Mara Menace

    Rhineland-Palatinate · 13 bookings since Aug 2025

    “She approaches art through the belief that balance can only emerge from opposition — harmony is born through dynamics.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    She approaches art through the belief that balance can only emerge from opposition — harmony is born through dynamics. A dialogue between softness and force, control and surrender — a dance of tension and release. Guided by psychoacoustic intuition, she sculpts textures that blur the edge of consciousness. The low end anchors, the highs cut, the mids breathe. Rolling drums create a constant motion — a rhythmic ground that nourishes the magnetic midrange elements shaping the narrative. What connects it all is the pursuit of perpetual balance: a continuous loop between pressure and relief, clarity and blur, chaos and control — a living tension that never fully resolves, yet keeps the body in motion and the mind awake.
