With over 15 years of experience as an event host, vocalist, and DJ, Berlin-based Desolate Discotheque has steadily built a reputation in the European underground EBM-Wave scene. Following breakthrough performances in Warsaw and Athens, he has since ignited dance floors in Tbilisi, Tunis, Ukraine, and beyond. In 2019, he realized a personal dream by launching Crave Tapes, an independent record label dedicated to both emerging and established artists from around the globe. The inspiration he draws from 80's underground electronic music and the goth culture, is manifested in his exorbitant, authentic and excessive style - a wild mixture between EBM, New Beat, Dark Disco, Post-Punk and some Techno.Their RA profile lists CraveTapes and RITMO3000.Recently at Sensorium, arkaoda Berlin, 8MM · often with Third Purser, Miss Addams, Dela Nesto, none of them here that night

From sweaty basements of queer bars to festival mainstages at dawn, Charlie Vaux has emerged as a rising icon of Berlin’s underground scene, shining as a passionate and skilled selector and curator . As the visionary behind Neukölln’s genre-fluid party series LOVESHACK, resident artist at Hamburg’s iconic Queerpool and a member of the EBM/Darkwave label Crave Tapes, Vaux is firmly rooted in the queer underground and has carved a reputation as one of its most versatile and exciting emerging talents. After a decade spent twirling across Berlin’s dancefloors, collecting music and refining his taste, he is now making waves internationally , with appearances on HÖR and at renowned clubs like KHIDI, Tbilisi and Le Sucre, Lyon. Never one to resist a touch of drama and nostalgia, he effortlessly blends dark and sultry genres like Synthwave, EBM and Electro with brighter shades of Italo, House and Disco, crafting a signature sound that is eclectic, sensual, and vocal-driven. In 2025 he collaborated with Italian-born producer Leonardo Di Fiore on their cinematic debut EP “Changing Colors” , blending Vaux’ powerful vocals with dreamy synths, raw emotion and 80s nostalgia. The duo has since unveiled their new joint project, Opera Electric. Beyond the booth, Vaux channels his creativity into photography , filmmaking, and curating events that celebrate diverse music and queer community . A multidisciplinary artist through and through, Vaux channels fluidity and fearless self-expression into everything he does - creating unforgettable moments that resonate long after the last track fades.Their RA profile lists Shapeless Culture.Recently at ://about blank, Kater, ciao ciao Bar · often with wannadosomething?, Franz Scala, HOPPER, none of them here that night

Lush Lab is the moniker of the Berlin based artist Igor Girio. Active in the Sao Paulo scene since the early 2000's, he gathers experience as DJ, promoter and sound engineer in some of the most exciting spotlights of South America and Europe. Drawing inspiration from the 90’s ballroom underground, he delivers powerful doses of house, italo and uplifting grooves, being flexible enough to fit different rooms and crowds, always keeping a high and evolving energy. With a modern approach to mixing and more than 15 years of club experience, he is becoming a regular throughout Berlin and Sao Paulo’s circuits, with recent presentations at Sisyphos, Else, Renate, Ohm, Khidi, and Blum.Their RA profile lists CraveTapes.Recently at Renate, arkaoda Berlin, Urban Spree · often with Alienata, NiKi K, Tzena, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Broadcasting from the heart of Berlin’s shadow circuit, Electric Visionary is a time-traveling DJ beaming frequencies of Horror Disco, Dark Disco, Italo, and Electro straight into your cortex. Synthesizers scream, basslines bite - her sound is a transmission from a neon grid dimension, where club nights never end and chrome dreams glitch into reality. Founder of the underground micro-club event K3LLR, she summons the floor like a dystopian oracle, gathering a community of nocturnal creatures bound by rhythm, distortion and the shared pulse of the dark divine. Her first interstellar transmission as co-producer with Italo Gigolo Bino Biscotti - “Disco Galactica” has ignited the cosmos in 2023 and more is to come as laser beams hit the endless depths of space.Recently at Supamolly, arkaoda Berlin, Void Club · often with THNTS, Audio Vacanze, Shia LaBiff, none of them here that night
