their own biography
the whole biography
Born in Brescia, a town between Milan and Venice, Matteo Gamba did not grow up in a music-oriented family. Nevertheless, his early curiosity for instruments and sound equipment soon led him toward music. At 20, he discovered the club scene and quickly developed a passion for electronic music production. His first releases gained the support of leading Italian DJs, who played his tracks worldwide. In 2014, he moved to Berlin, where he began organizing parties and showcases for his label, Theatre Records. After performing across Europe, in 2020 he co-founded ABYOND together with Franz Alice Stern, Moon Leap, and Straahl—a label dedicated to electronic music in all its forms, beyond genre boundaries. A versatile producer, Matteo has explored different sounds under multiple aliases, including BEIN (techno) and Groovebox Industry (his debut project). His journey is still evolving—the rest is yet to be written.Their RA profile lists Rebirth, Theatre Records and Abyond.Recently at Minimal Bar, Crack Bellmer, ÆDEN · often with Fabrizio Brancaccio, Manuel Di Martino, babxi, none of them here that night

Rooted in the belief of the dancefloor as a space of infinite unique individual experiences, Qualia Trax embodies a playful genre-fluid approach to both DJing and curation. A long-time contributor to queer party scenes in Birmingham, London, Amsterdam and Berlin, Qualia Trax is founder, resident and booker for NEST, a queer, sex-positive party series and community in Berlin. This project seeks to 'queer-up' traditionally normative spaces and rituals to make them more accessible and enjoyable for marginalised groups, currently taking place at Kater Blau. They previously founded the VisionsKollektiv (fka Visionskultur), the highlight of which was the organisation and curation of the art and music programme for Kiek Beyond, a 3-day festival just outside Berlin in August 2023, and continue to support as a resident DJ and booker.Recently at Kater, Süss War Gestern, Tausend · often with materia hache, HOPPER, ACID BOGEN, none of them here that night

From soundtracks to futuristic rythms, including house and techno music, s c i a r a d a captures listener's attention through many levels. His project is based on Ambient Music with many influences coming from IDM and experimental roots. The concept of s c i a r a d a is the result of a cinematic studio of the sound made to create emotional backgrounds and recurring melodies. What is Duma? Duma, The Collective is an avant-garde electronic music collective that explores the intersections of Ambient Music, Nu Disco with Italo sound influences and Techno, crafting a transcendent auditory experience.Their RA profile lists SUB Records and Duma The Collective.Recently at Minimal Bar, ÆDEN, Glasweise · often with Guido Iacovitti, Akirahawks, Fabrizio Brancaccio, none of them here that night
