“Coco got his infusion in the nineties.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Coco got his infusion in the nineties. Result: heavily techno addicted. Since then he's a dj and appears as Coco or Coco Berlin. For more than two decades he is celebrating and organising (in cooperation with Empro) his infamous 36-hour party "Betriebsfeier" at Hoppetosse (by CDV) in Berlin, which is known for its unique freedom, true spirit, excellent music and heavy partying. Coco regularly plays Berlin clubs like Sisyphos, Salon zur Wilden Renate, Kater Blau, Goldengate, Watergate and many more. Nowadays he also infects the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, UK, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia with his charismatic and surprising mental influenced mix of darker Minimal, House, Techno and a touch of Wave and Retro. Coco is also one of the creators of the "Rote Dichte Festival" and was one of the inventors of the former monthly event "Hummmpday" at Salon zur Wilden Renate.

“Empro grew up in Thuringia in East Germany during the late 80s.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Empro grew up in Thuringia in East Germany during the late 80s. His interest on the variety of electronic music awakes in the mid-90s. Following the move to Berlin in 2000 and an intense journey through different styles of the new music movement, he quickly dipped into the scene and became an active part of it. Until today techno music has not lost anything of its charm to him. Empro has the pleasure to play his music in clubs and on festivals all over the world. In 2012 he became a resident DJ at the world-famous club Sisyphos in Berlin. Empros first DJ gig was in 2003 at Underground Berlin below Alexanderplatz. Numerous gigs followed and within a short time he played in Berlins most popular clubs like Panoramabar, Watergate, Tresor, Bar25, Maria, WMF and Polar TV. You can describe Empros music as trippy, twisted, dynamic, organic, daisy and always forwards. He is well-known for his energetic enduring TechHouse Sets, alongside he invites everyone to listen, feel and enjoy the music and makes everybody dance like nobody is watching, also himself. Taken by the desire to create something unique he founded together with Ruede Hagelstein the booking agency Mind The Crap in 2004. Afterwards he decided to set up his own and still ongoing business project „free agency“. In 2011 he had his own Techno Club called Levee. Besides he is the initiator of varied party series in and around Berlin like HomeSweetHome (in co-op with Marcus Meinhardt) and Betriebsfeier (founded in 2003 together with Coco Berlin). Moreover he supported the Melt!Festival with organizing the Sleepless Floor for many years and was involved in festivals like SonneMondSterne, Fusion and Sonar OFF. Apart from being a DJ all over, he released since 2006 his own productions and remixes on several labels like BAR25, Heinz Music, Upon.You Records and Freizeitglauben. Empro is currently back in his studio and you should watch out for his next releases.Their RA profile lists BAR25, aromamusic, Freizeitglauben Berlin and Heinz Music.Recently at Golden Gate, Badehaus Berlin, Hoppetosse · often with Miss Supershit, BODYSHIFT, Nicolas Duvoisin, none of them here that night
“Born in Berlin, Fabian Drews fell in love with music at a very young age and started Dj´ng at 17 with a pair of 1200s he picked up in London.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Born in Berlin, Fabian Drews fell in love with music at a very young age and started Dj´ng at 17 with a pair of 1200s he picked up in London. His DJ Style merges a weave of drawn out layered teachy bass lines with a catchy averling minimal and deep house groove for the dancefloor. His energy to his club performances, partly due to time spent looking for the newest music around, as well as a consistent quality in his track collection. Earlier influences of funk and soul bring a certain swing to his crisp tech-house sets. Fabian Drews can be found in all major Clubs in Berlin such as Tresor, Wilde Renate, Hoppetosse (Betriebsfeier) and other venues around Germany.Last at Golden Gate in Sep 2025 · often with Midas 104, Tom Semilia, Kataya, none of them here that night

“Mehr is Mehr We wish everyone would have more trust in themselves.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Mehr is Mehr We wish everyone would have more trust in themselves. More courage to leave their comfort zones. Fewer doubts and sorrows. More moments when our inner child takes over, more carefreeness, more tears of joy. But most of all: Mehr is Mehr! This may sound cheesy, but when Vera and Rosalie first met in 2013, it felt like destiny from the get go. They clicked, became partners in crime and went on a two-year journey to discover Berlin's Techno scene - always on the lookout for the next rave, and always front row with the beat in their hearts and their eyes locked on the DJ console. They didn’t even bother resisting Techno's allure and soon bought a cheap old controller to learn the alchemy that is djaying. After a while they began performing at birthday parties among their cirle of friends. One night the old controller crashed, so, with sweaty palms and shiny eyes, they scraped together their savings and purchased a brand new unit. In hindsight that was the point in time when Mehr is Mehr came to be. Just a few months later they had their first Berlin club gig. Soon after Nicorus started his Techno/Psy event series „Les enfants d’la cave“ and invited them to become part of his crew. The following years were a crazy ride. Mehr is Mehr got booked by clubs like Watergate, Kater Blau, Moloch and many many more. Also their biggest dream: spinning the wheels at Hammahalle of the notorious Sisyphos club came true! Fun fact: Hammahalle was the place, where Mehr is Mehr coined their name during the early days. But they weren't just playing at clubs - plenty of festivals such as Château Perché, Bucht der Träumer and Wilde Möhre began filling their summers. Since 2017 Mehr is Mehr is part of the Wuza crew, which organizes parties all over Europe. In May 2018 the booking agency Soupherb took them on. There’s still no end in sight, as you may suspect: Mehr is Mehr. https://www.facebook.com/mehrismehr/ https://soundcloud.com/mehrismehrberlin https://www.instagram.com/mehrismehr/ gigs.gigatools.com/u/mehrismehrRecently at Ritter Butzke, Kater, ://about blank · often with Maurice Mino, JUSTICE (DE), Ele Luz, none of them here that night
“Plattentaschen kann man kaufen, Haltung nicht!”
their own biography
the whole biography
Plattentaschen kann man kaufen, Haltung nicht! Vor noch gar nicht allzu vielen Jahren stand Pauli Pocket mit einer Plastiktüte vom Discounter im Club und zog daraus die Scheiben, mit denen sie den Dancefloor in Bewegung brachte. Attitüde trifft Alditüte. Außer den Platten, hatte sie noch ihren Vater im Gepäck, da sie noch nicht alt genug war, um alleine in Clubs zu dürfen. Vielleicht berührt uns diese Geschichte aus der Anfangszeit von Paulines Karriere auch deshalb so sehr, weil sie uns daran erinnert, wie wir selbst alle vor vielen Jahren das kiloschwere Vinyl in Wäschekörben, Kartons und Postkisten zu den ersten Gigs geschleppt haben und weil diese Geschichten heute im hochprofessionalisierten und durchorganisierten Techno-Zirkus so selten geworden sind. Inwischen gibt es kaum noch einen Club in Berlin, von Kater und Sisyphos über Sucide Circus, Watergate bis zur Renate, in dem Pauli nicht regelmäßig an den Decks steht. Ein Case besitzt Pauline inzwischen, Haltung wie eh und je, und auch sonst steckt sie mit ihren straighten, vorwärtsgehenden Sets uns sowieso alle in die Tasche.Recently at Kater, Ritter Butzke, Tempelhof Airport · often with HOPPER, ACID BOGEN, EXTRA, none of them here that night
