Akua has cemented herself as one of the most distinctive techno DJs coming out of the U.S. in recent years, shining brightly at the forefront of a new generation of techno artists who are reviving the innovative and rebellious spirit of techno’s enduring velocity through their work. Her practice is a passionate dedication to archiving & activating timeless strains of raw and mechanized expression - leading the new school of North American machine funk, while harkening back to the revolutionary sonics of Detroit, Chicago, & New York City DJs throughout history. A recent move to Berlin, a city that has held a crucial role in the evolution of techno, has provided her with the opportunity to further develop her craft by embracing the transcontinental connection that originally ignited the inspiration for the techno movement worldwide. Her one-of-kind, no-nonsense style brings a necessary & poignant intensity to today’s dancefloors, eschewing trends of the moment and channeling the essence of techno into an authentic wavelength that’s completely intuitive to her being. This unique display of influences plays out in Akua's unrivaled sets heard around the world - from exerting her celebrated prowess behind the decks at renowned New York clubs like Basement and Nowadays, to unleashing landmark sets at Movement Detroit, Berghain FUSE Brussels, Dekmantel, Draaimolen, & FOLD London. Already seasoned on the European tour circuit, 2024 sees her career encompassing new trajectories & widening her global reach into tours through Asia & Australia. With a wealth of knowledge and expertise, she effortlessly embodies an enthralling old-school sound while keeping her finger on the pulse of contemporary producers that also embody the authentic energy of techno’s turn-of-the-century peak. As her boundless legacy steadily expands, she continues to cultivate respect and adoration from the most discerning of DJs & dancers alike through her incredible mixing finesse and constantly expanding repertoire of futureproof classics.Recently at Berghain, RSO.BERLIN, Tresor / Globus · often with 1morning, Juana, Shyboi, none of them here that night

Rather than following trends, ALI3N sculpts emotionally charged journeys designed to destabilize, reconnect, and provoke. The sets are precise but fluid – tools for altered states. There is a fascination with contrast: cold textures versus human warmth, repetition versus rupture, silence versus impact. ALI3N has performed at renowned venues like RSO, Tresor, Elysia and FI Cologne, always bringing a narrative that feels both distant and intimate. Beyond the booth, the project connects to broader themes – alienation, identity, and the emotional potential of electronic music in a posthuman era.Recently at OXI, Tresor / Globus, RSO.BERLIN · often with Stephanie Sykes, Matrixxman, Volvox, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
As one of the most iconic artists of her generation, Ellen Allien embodies the core ethos of techno: a visionary who looks to the future for inspiration, carving out her own niche and presiding over an empire that has infused techno, rave, and dance music culture with her unique DNA. Ellen Allien’s journey through the years is a blueprint for a healthy underground community and grounded career in music. Her playful mind and openness to sharing knowledge, imbues her art with an energy and inspiration that’s been highly influential to the subculture across art, design and fashion in her native Berlin. Ellen’s eternally creative mind has led to the production of ten albums, to join her extensive back catalogue of singles, EPs and remix work for seminal labels like Warp and Mute. Most recently she’s collaborated with Italian band Ash Code to bring together dark wave and techno in a seamless dancefloor marriage, remixed Lebanon Hannover and Rosa Anschütz, as well as contributing tracks to compilations from Gegen and Serendeepity. In 2023 she celebrated the 20th Anniversary of her seminal album ‘Stadtkind’, her most recent album AurAA delivered emotional techno resonating far beyond the dancefloor. A dynamic selector who prides herself on her extensive knowledge of music and dance floors, she’s travelled the globe as a DJ playing at every major club on the circuit, and commanding the big stages at festivals from Europe to South America. Ellen runs her days long ‘We Are Not Alone’ raves at RSO in her beloved hometown Berlin, bringing the party worldwide as UFO Rave, and she hosts in-store record shop gigs as Vinylism. In her role as head of BPitch, and UFO Inc., Ellen channels her ceaseless passion for digging into A&R, seeking out and nurturing new talent, alongside established artists and friends. She has signed new artists to her labels, including German trans-media artist Rosa Anschütz, Dutch electronic producer extraordinaire Dollkraut/DJ Europarking, and supports the growth of future talents like Métaraph and Shaleen through the booking agency. Steering the label to become one of the most important platforms for underground electronica. BPitch operates in a league of all its own, influencing the scene at home, but with a global reach. Ellen Allien’s constant forward focus led to the conception of a brand new record label, UFO Inc. in 2018; as an incubator for rough, ravey, raw techno – providing an additional space for Ellen to release her tougher productions, purely for the dancefloor. 2020-22 presented an extremely difficult situation for Ellen and the rest of the global electronic music community as clubs and festivals were shut down. Unable to tour, she conceived the hugely successful Balcony Streaming sessions, hosted from her home in Berlin.The livestreams allowed her to continue DJing and engaging with her fanbase, while also supporting music from a wide range of artists, new and old. During this time, she channeled her curatorial experience into an expansive three-part (expanded to six in 2023) compilation series. Named after her We Are Not Alone parties, the collection comprised tracks from artists that embody the ethos; club music with a rugged aesthetic and an unapologetic dancefloor focus. Volumes four-six were released together with a film and installation as AFTER DARK with Ellen’s longtime collaborator the director/photographer Stini Roehrs.AFTER DARK exhibition premiered at the Hamburger Bahnhof modern art museum in Berlin in July, with a new soundtrack by Ellen.Their RA profile lists fabric Records, Mute Records, Warp Records, Spectral Sound and 6 more.Recently at Philharmonie Berlin, RSO.BERLIN, Quantum Oddity Gallery · often with Spekki Webu, Sarah Sommers, Xiorro, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Jochem Paap (the Rotterdam artist owes the nickname Speedy J to his DJ skills) is unanimously considered to be one of the first techno producers to come from the Benelux. Together with people like Laurent Garnier, Aphex Twin and Richie Hawtin he helped raising the genre just after it had escaped the Detroit delivery room. Since the early nineties, Speedy J releases on labels like Plus 8, Warp and Novamute. But while techno develops into a dominating force on many dance floors worldwide, Jochem Paap, after the albums G Spot (1993) and Ginger (1995), turns left and heads for other exciting places. On Public Energy No. 1 (1997) and A Shocking Hobby (2000) the sound wizard exchanges flowing, harmonious techno for a much more complex sound, filled with colliding samples, crackling rhythms and tremendously thrilling turns. After fifteen years of techno Speedy J now has come full circle. But what a wide circle it was, and how fickle the trodden path. Over the years he has collaborated with video-artists, filmmakers and advertisers, made the pioneering DVD Umfeld, an audio-visual, electronic trip, which sets the standard for many composers who want to compose for six speakers in the coming years – remarkably made available as a free download on the internet. But not only that, Speedy J has continuously been pushing the boundaries of electronic & experimental dance music. Blurring the lines between Live performance and Digital Djing, he fuses subversive electronics and peak time Techno. Together with his partner in crime Chris Liebing he started using Traktor and other Software technology on 4 laptops with hardware such as Machine Drum and 303’s to create a fully integrated set. Again he is spearheading a way of DJing that is picked up by a lot of other forward thinking electronic artists. Logically, the releases on his label Electric Deluxe all feature tool versions, introducing the concept of creating unique live sets from parts as a natural evolution of Djing. Not only setting the bar for peak hour Techno madness, Electric Deluxe becomes the platform for his Collabs series that started on Novamute, as well as releases by open minded artists like Chris Liebing, George Issakidis, Tommy Four Seven and Terrence Fixmer to showcase the value of creative synergy using newest technology. Another strong part of this idea is the introduction of a new series of techno events called Electric Deluxe presents, which in a young history of just a couple of editions brought major artists like Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Radio Slave, Matthew Dear, Chris Liebing into play. Speedy J’s musical vision is genre blurring, creative freedom at the highest level of innovation and quality, it is providing a platform for artists operating within any conceivable genre in the broad spectrum of techno to fully explore and embrace the ever-expanding technological possibilities.Their RA profile lists Warp Records, novamute, Music Man Records, Plus 8 Records Ltd and 5 more.Recently at Berghain, RSO.BERLIN · often with Berghain, UFO95, Megan Leber, none of them here that night

“Carmen Electro is a project by a Finnish artist whose DJ sets and productions move fluidly through edges of house, techno, and driving club music.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Carmen Electro is a project by a Finnish artist whose DJ sets and productions move fluidly through edges of house, techno, and driving club music. Rooted in a love for vinyl and shaped by years spent immersed in underground dance floors, her sets balance precision with intuition, drawing dancers into a primalistic journey that is both emotionally charged and rhythmically compelling. Known for weaving together driving grooves, atmospheric textures, and unexpected moments of tension and release, Carmen approaches DJing as a form of storytelling. Rather than chasing trends, she focuses on creating a sense of connection: between records, between bodies on the dance floor, and between the listener and herself. Her selections reflect a fascination with the transformative power of nightlife and the ways in which music can blur the boundaries between introspection and collective experience. Carmen’s work of exploring club culture as a space for ritual, self-discovery, and belonging extends outside the DJ booth. Through ongoing field research, productions, event organizing and her KUJE Records label initiatives, she is committed to nurturing communities that celebrate curiosity, authenticity, and the freedom to explore identity through sound. She’s a local resident at Berlin's infamous Tresor club as well as with the Selected Berlin collective.Their RA profile lists Seven.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Tresor / Globus, Latitude Record Store · often with TRESOR, stranger (NL), BUTZ, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Spotted behind the decks at Concrete for the first time, u.r.trax quickly established herself as a phenomenon on the electronic music scene. After shaking up the rave culture and touring the world, the sound architect behind Coperni’s latest runway shows joins the Because roster to rediscover the true meaning of celebration: the party is where u.r. Born in a small town on the outskirts of Paris, u.r.trax quickly found her place on the margins of a world in constant transformation. With the internet as her playground, she discovered cold wave while exploring YouTube and soon began learning the drums. On obscure music forums, she explored musical galaxies at lightning speed, fascinated by the major revolutions of the past century: Chicago house, Detroit techno, Parisian rave culture, Berlin megaclubs. Captivated by electronic music, she started experimenting with her first tracks at an early age. In 2019, she performed for the first time at Concrete. A year later, her single Folge Mir brought her international recognition, and the press quickly labeled her a “techno prodigy.” From there, she built momentum, releasing on respected labels, performing at major festivals, and developing a fluid, wide-ranging, and deeply informed approach to DJing that helped reignite the rave spirit worldwide. While still at university, a message from Nina Kraviz proved to be a turning point. “I woke up one day to a DM from the artist I admired most in the world,” she recalls. Their connection was immediate and instinctive. More than signing her debut album Third Ear to трип in 2022, Nina became a mentor and constant source of support. “She gave me confidence in my potential, helped me believe in myself, and allowed me to approach my career with a sense of calm.” Following this major release, u.r.trax continued performing extensively, eventually nearing burnout. “When you’re a DJ, the more you rise, the less the music matters”, she observes with clarity. “Today, my ambitions lie elsewhere”. That “elsewhere” is composition, writing, sound research, and live performance. “I’m not a DJ who produces in their spare time”, she explains. “I compose 24/7, and on weekends I also enjoy soundtracking spaces by playing other people’s music”. From 2022 onward, this artistic realization led her to gradually distance herself from a techno scene she sometimes found too standardized. Writing music for the Paris-based fashion house’s runway shows became a catalyst for experimentation. Moving between classical, hyperpop, ambient, and post-punk, her sonic palette expanded dramatically. For nearly two years, she reduced her public presence to focus on exploration. Today, u.r.trax dreams of expanding electronic music to encode all our singularities within it. Freed from the restrictive framework of techno, she reveals a sound that, like herself, resists definition. Sensual, shifting, alchemical... “I was born on the margins, and that’s where I found my freedom. Today, my music reflects me: it’s 1% of a lot of different things”. The physical intensity of the underground meets the transcendence of contemporary pop in an ADHD-positive formula, at the boundary between the real and the digital. Her voice, constantly evolving through varying degrees of distortion and compression, takes center stage as a guiding point at the intersection of multiple worlds. The road has become her studio, and the party is where u.r. her logbook. Between flights, in hotel rooms or at fellow producers’ homes, u.r.trax composes everywhere, all the time, encapsulating in each track a fragment of the nomadic life she has chosen. That of an artist who has turned her early outsider status into a gateway to every world. Along the way, she continues to multiply collaborations. “If you want your music to go beyond you, you have to share it”, she says. A philosophy that runs through this first volume, featuring BEA1991, LEGIT GIRL DJ, Petit, Sentimental Rave, and Vladimir Dubyshkin. This summer, she will premiere her first live show at Primavera Sound 2026. Until then, “around twenty tracks are waiting, ready to be released,” forming a body of work she plans to unveil over the coming months. the party is where u.r.
