their own biography
the whole biography
Berlin based artists with Polish roots, Leona Jacewska (formerly known as Charlie) is a prodigy of contemporary synthwave, influenced by EBM, electro and early 80's italo. Her live acts key on hardware - including Cirklon Sequencer, Pearl Syncussion and OB6 - but they also make expert use of coldwave-reminiscent vocals. Her solo output was shaped by the exposure to diverse strands of music, facilitated by her formal piano education, deep engagement with the electronic music scene in Central Europe, long-standing DJ career and the organisation of SZUM parties in Kraków (PL) and Berlin (DE). With her extensive experience as a musician and curator, she has participated in multiple programs oriented at peer- to-peer exchange, mentorship and advocacy, including the Music Moves Europe- funded initiative Venues from the Future, Sonar+D, and Initiative Musik. She has issued two EPs, Cold Inside (Ferry Lane Records 2022) and Spacewoman (Wrong Era 2024) being remixed by David Vunk and italo legend Flemming Dalum. She presented her live acts at renowned festivals such as Unsound (PL), Transmusicales (FR), Fusion (DE) and Noche de Primavera (MX), Tauron (PL) and clubs like Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE) or Closer (UA). Mixmag Worldwide: "...setting an innovative tone and channeling a unique approach to synthesis and powerful percussion." Quietus Magazine Unsound Review: "Maximum dynamic that impacts the mind" KEYI Magazine: "Leona's record is a testament to her unique and impactful sound design, which is on full display in her thunderous progressions" DJ MAG: "... sees Leona continuing to refine her sultry, sci-fi-esque take on electro house, delivering warehouse-ready kicks alongside bold percussion and colourfully warped synth work" ELECTRICITY CLUB.CO.UK "This retro-futuristic EP showcases LEONA as a talented electronic producer of worth, with an ability to bring workable changes within her exhilarating melodies and patterns while retaining the necessary repetitious elements essential to good club friendly music." MUNO PL: "best electronic Live Act of the year 2024 (for Poland)"Their RA profile lists Slow Motion and Pinkman.Last at Berghain in Feb · often with Sound Metaphors Djs, Franz Scala, ilbroccolovolante, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Ordell output takes influence from three key European cities: Nice, London, and the German capital. His penchant for jazz imbues his music with deep soulful grooves, characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and an insistent rhythm. Deep, bassy tones, together with infectious breaks and warm loops flow through his sets and productions, while touches of minimal experimentation and a strong house motif make up his sound. Growing up around funk music during his formative years in Nice, France, Robin left home early relocating to East London in 2007, where he was drawn to the burgeoning underground club scene. Influenced by the French style of the nineties, while also drawing on inspiration from deeper German minimal sounds, Robin was entrenched in the fertile East London scene during this exciting era of London’s history. 2009 was a notable year in Ordell’s progression as a DJ. It was during this time that infamous London party Half Baked was conceived and he became one of their full-time residents. It was at this party where he really established himself as a versatile selector who can blend a range of styles into his sets with confidence and panache. As a keen studio hound, Ordell is always jamming and making music, some of which has been released via labels such as Seuil’s Eklo, Discobar, Finest Hour, Hello?Repeat and Half Baked’s own record label. In 2014 he became part of the Lola ED agency, joining an array of underground luminaries and marking an important step forward in his decade-long career. In 2017 he continues to travel around Europe, with a steady flow of releases and a constant desire to channel the soul of jazz, house, and funk music through his Ordell-shaped filter.Their RA profile lists Eklo, Half Baked Records, Finest Hour Records, Discobar and 1 more.Last at Hoppetosse in Nov 2025 · often with Naima (2), Frankiee, Maik Yells, none of them here that night

Born into an Italian family, Onirik has spent most of his life in Brussels, London and now Berlin. This mix of identities also translates into the multiple musical influences and directions he tries to incorporate into his musical endeavours, never following the linearity of a single genre, but rather trying to convey a vibe that spans multiple musical vessels. With more than 15 years of experience as a DJ, label manager and producer, Onirik's attention is focused on his own label Garage Hermétique, on which he has released music, as well as the collaborative projects Comply and Surface Detail; running Off The Grid, one of the most innovative underground music hubs, in the form of a boutique distribution, shop and label.Their RA profile lists Finest Hour Records, Garage Hermetique and Off The Grid.Recently at Renate, Club der Visionaere · often with GNMR, Ancut, MPC Battle, none of them here that night

Italian DJ and curator based in Berlin, Luca Carluccio (aka Luca Elsi) is known for his ability to blend Italo, Disco, and House into sets that transform dancefloors into timeless sonic journeys. Through ELSI, his project that functions both as a record label and party series, Luca celebrates and reinterprets the Italian sound within Berlin’s electronic scene, building a living bridge between his Mediterranean roots and the city’s vibrant international energy. With years of experience in the music business, first as a booking agent and later as a licensing manager for the legendary DJ-Kicks series, Luca combines refined taste and deep musical knowledge with a forward-thinking, contemporary vision.
