Franz Scala’s sets are as diverse as the music he curates as label head of Slow Motion. Weaving smoothly between Italian Dance, Psychedelic Disco and Proto House, Franz quickly turns the dance floor into a vignette-tainted retro nostalgia rave fueled only by his music. Born in Italy and now a resident of Berlin for a decade Franz has his roots in noise rock and elettronica but was led by the record collectors passion into acquiring a taste for modern and not so modern dance floor music. He frequently inspires dancers in clubs all over Europe with his eclectic blend of spacey House, New Wave, Italo and Acid speckled with hints of Electro and Chicago House. Aside from producing on his own imprint, he has releases on World Unknown, Bordello A Parigi, Bahnsteig 23, Tusk Wax, Mechatronica or Discodromo´s Cocktail d’Amore Music. Franz is link to many events around the german capital such as the monthly Wrong Era, Italian Dance Wave and Italorama night in Panorama Bar, Magic Waves or New Dance Fantasy Festival. Beside long time collaboration with Sameheads he is regular dj at Griessmuhle and Salon zur Wilden Renate. In 2013 he joined Dimitri SoEmotional in the “Studio Luce” projectTheir RA profile lists Slow Motion, World Unknown, Bordello A Parigi, Clouded Vision and 6 more.Recently at Renate, Paloma, Kater · often with Fabrizio Mammarella, Eyesdice, Paty Vapor, none of them here that night

Equally obsessive about Hi-NRG, New Beat, Dark & Nu Disco she quests through the dirtiest depths of the internet and record stores for rhythms so inviting that you can't help but bathe, kick and writhe in the sludge and dust with her. She's raised iconic dancefloors worldwide with a style that is an eclectic swag of sex, humour and psychedelia. A collision of expansive beats and seductive evolving moods that have hypnotized Berlin's audiences at Berghain's Panorama Bar for Italorama, Cocktail d'Amore, Salon zur Wilden Renate, Revier Südost, and Sisyphos to mention a few. Though she's “just a DJ, not a f***ing neurosurgeon”, she is the rock and caretaker of Wrong Era and Slow Motion organizations and parties all over the world; notorious, sweaty meet-ups for all the "not-too-hard tunz tunz" music lovers.Recently at Kater, RSO.BERLIN, Sameheads · often with Fabrizio Mammarella, MVHY, Moderna, none of them here that night

Hailing from the UK and now residing in Berlin Radondo has built a versatile sound within the Italian Dance Wave movement. His progressive DJ sets have seen him quickly become a prevalent artist within the German capital, playing regular slots at venues such as Renate, Sisyphos and becoming a resident at the revered Slow Motion Records parties. With a steady run of releases on labels such as Wrong Era, Loose Fit Records, Ritmo Fatale and Fucanglong Files, he merges arcane soundscapes with ethereal analogue synth lines. As a producer and remixer, he has gained recognition for his captivating consistency and support from Italo’s greats. Tying together his Italo, EBM, and New Beat influences, Radondo creates a tantalising atmosphere filled with tangible nostalgia through forward-thinking production and energetic selections that have lit up dance floors from Vilnius to New York.Their RA profile lists Slow Motion, Samo Records, Inner Shah Recordings, Murder Records and 4 more.Recently at Berghain, Fitzroy · often with Melanie Havens, Robot Girl, Lancer (2), none of them here that night
