their own biography
the whole biography
Raised and based in Berlin, deeply connected to its vinyl culture. Sabine Hoffmann has carved out her space through a simple, dedicated approach: playing the music she loves, strictly on wax. Sabine discovered her passion for spinning vinyl around the early 2000’s, when she was first exposed to electronic music. Today, her sets reflect this broad foundation, moving naturally between Techno and House. Whether she is commanding the booth at legendary institutions like Berghain, Tresor, ://about blank or Heideglühen, her selections are driven by an intuitive understanding of the dancefloor and a profound respect for the roots of electronic music. As a longtime face of Berlin’s renowned OYE Records, she sits at the source of crate digging culture. She is taking care of all OYE club events and In Stores happening at one of the record shops. Since January 2023 she is hosting the OYE Podcast series. For Sabine, music has always been about more than just the individual performance. With her "Frauengedeck" initiative, she has spent years creating space for FLINTA* artists, prioritizing community and talent over hype. Her newest project is "Dub Nation". An event series brought to life by good old colleagues and friends Sabine Hoffmann and Kenneth Christiansen. Both share the unconditional love for the deeper and more dubby side of Techno and House. She doesn’t aim for the spotlight, she aims for the right track at the right moment. That´s, what made her a respected and consistent voice in Berlin’s underground scene.Their RA profile lists zaijenroots and Rarehouse Records.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Golden Gate, Crack Bellmer · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Chami, none of them here that night

Vysion, born and raised in Berlin, aims to recreate what has captivated him most on his journey through techno and what embodies the core of his deep connection with this music: An energetic musical frame that lets one reach trance-like states through movement and self-expression, allowing for any emotion to come up and to be released along the way. Vysion's sets are characterized by driving kick drums and immersive rhythmic and hypnotic patterns. Due to his professional drums background, he is particularly drawn to and convinced by the power of drum sounds such as groovy percussions, sharp hi-hats or syncopated rhythms embedded in a rather minimalistic but highly dynamic scope of sounds.Recently at OST, OXI, ÆDEN · often with Conntex, BENZA, Hontas, none of them here that night
