  • BOYCA

    Bern, Switzerland · 14 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Miro Lopasso, aka Boyca, is a hard-hitting Techno naturalist: as a queer, Swiss-born DJ, producer, and Berlin transplant, Boyca’s convulsing and maximalist productions channel the transformative and liberating dancefloor hypnotism he experienced into relentless Techno totems with industrial undercurrents—strobe-lit, sweat-drenched, and charged with raw physicality.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Miro Lopasso, aka Boyca, is a hard-hitting Techno naturalist: as a queer, Swiss-born DJ, producer, and Berlin transplant, Boyca’s convulsing and maximalist productions channel the transformative and liberating dancefloor hypnotism he experienced into relentless Techno totems with industrial undercurrents—strobe-lit, sweat-drenched, and charged with raw physicality. Debuting on Dutch label Mord with the mangled, slow-burning blowout Beneath in 2015, Boyca has since recast his throttling industrial core into a functional, sexy, and floor-driven framework. The result is an enrapturing blend of shuddering low-end and complex groove structures that cycle through frenzied drum machine sequences, crushed loops, and heaving, spaced-out atmospheres. Ass It! (Creaked; 2020), The Encounter from Galactic Outposts (Creaked; 2022), Modified Humans (LPS; 2021), Nediar (LPS; 2021), and Remote Controlled (LPS; 2022)—with heavyweight remixers Charlton, Rosseen, Stanislav Tolkachev, and Rrose—followed in quick succession, sharpening Boyca’s vision of oscillating sound design, pounding groove structures, and infinitely morphing apogees with a dystopian undercurrent. Over time, Boyca has steadily transfigured his thunderous industrialism into a gritty brand of high-energy Techno with hot-blooded joie de vivre, culminating in 2024 with his most uptempo and floor-focused work. A four-track EP on Berlin label …is serving, with remixes by Rexer & Nymed, landed as a relentless, fast-paced concrete séance—built for the floor and designed with a writhing mass of bodies in mind. 2025 marked another leap forward with The Necessary Substance (…is serving; June 2025), the label’s ninth release, where Boyca carved out his own pocket of queer club-space—where distortion meets devotion. Across three uncompromising tracks, Boyca channeled raw intensity and hypnotic seduction: Scream_ unraveled in urgent vocals and tightly coiled percussion; The Necessary Substance simmered with eerie minimal tension and fragmented samples; and Deep Thxxxt_ delivered a direct, bass-heavy weapon built for smoke-filled basements. The subsequent Necessary Substance Remixes (September 2025) expanded the release into new territories, reaffirming Boyca as a distinct voice in contemporary techno—fierce, sensual, and unafraid to push boundaries. With a constant drive to reinvent and push further, Boyca continues to deliver raw and honest dancefloor superlatives anchored in a grinding and granular Hardgroove framework—club music as ritual, release, and transformation.
    Their RA profile lists Creaked Records, Mord and Gegen Records.

    “Also known as "The Dogfather," this Brittany-born artist journeyed from a small town in France to the heart of Berlin.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Also known as "The Dogfather," this Brittany-born artist journeyed from a small town in France to the heart of Berlin. Shaped by his background as a nurse and recognized as an iconic "face" of the Fetish scene, he slowly built his unique journey over the years as a model & performer and is now focusing on his artistic evolution as a DJ. His relationship with music began the moment he embraced his true self and learned to celebrate what makes him different. Many hours on the dancefloor, surrounded by diverse communities, taught him not only about others but also about himself. Those experiences became the foundation of a sound that is deeply emotional, authentic, and clearly his own. To him, Techno has always been more than entertainement, it's a sanctuary for the misfits, the rebels, the outsiders, and that's why he wants to preserve that spirit and bring the culture back to its roots. Music is a way to spread important messages, fight hate and heal people. His mission is to bring communities together by sharing deep emotions through music to educate people and uplift the Fetish community, while helping to protect & build safe spaces where everyone can express themselves freely.

    “Gegen Berlin resident and part of the core team, Mar/us is a sonic architect, crafting hard and fast techno beats that propel listeners into the deepest realms of self-discovery.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Gegen Berlin resident and part of the core team, Mar/us is a sonic architect, crafting hard and fast techno beats that propel listeners into the deepest realms of self-discovery. In the heart of Berlin's techno underworld, Mar/us doesn't merely play music; they orchestrate a liberating and hedonistic atmosphere where sexuality and self-expression collide in an electrically charged dance of liberation. Their beats are not just heard but felt on a visceral level, fostering an atmosphere where inhibition dissolves, boundaries blur and the dancefloor resonates with the liberating power of music and movement.
