their own biography
the whole biography
Representing Wobbla Records and BBS, Hovercat has spent the recent years rattling the subwoofers of nearly every bass-centric spot in Berlin. His sets are a trip through dubstep, jungle, footwork, breaks and trap, basically a caffeinated squirrel DJ that refuses to stay at one BPM for long. He usually seen with a selection of his own material and dubs too, some of it you can hear on a recent Wobbla Records release crafted together with his brother in bass Plugin Ears.Their RA profile lists Wobbla Records.Recently at Der Kegel, Lauschangriff, Humboldthain Club · often with Dub Isotope, BrokenGear, KaraKara, none of them here that night
“Eklekt1k’s relationship with bass music was shaped early through vinyl culture and hands-on DJ practice.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Eklekt1k’s relationship with bass music was shaped early through vinyl culture and hands-on DJ practice. By her mid-teens, she was already recording mixes rooted in breakbeat, jungle, drum & bass, and ragga jungle, laying the foundation for a sound defined by pure rhythmic complexity and low-end weight. After some period away from the decks, she returned with renewed focus, and in 2024 launched a bi-weekly residency in Funkhaus Berlin on Etikett Radio. Marking the start of her current chapter as an active selector, resident and curator. Those early influences continue to define her sound today — grounded in soundsystem culture, broken rhythms, and a balance between deep listening and dancefloor pressure. Her selections have travelled widely across international airwaves, with guest appearances on Operator Radio (Rotterdam), Relate Radio (Groningen), Radio Flouka (Paris), SVARA Radio (Liverpool) Refuge Worldwide (Berlin), among others. Rooted in soundsystem culture and driven by experimental club aesthetics, her sets typically orbit between 140–180 BPM, weaving broken rhythms, cinematic textures, and heavy low-end into emotionally charged yet dancefloor-conscious journeys. Groove and tension sit side by side, with an emphasis on mood, weight, and spatial movement. As a producer, she currently explores her sound through two parallel personas: one focused on experimental, deconstructed, analog-driven compositions, and the other leaning into high-energy, bass-heavy club music built for impact. Across both, her work is defined by a sensitivity to texture, rhythm, and emotional depth — always searching for the space where intensity and introspection meet.Recently at Gretchen, Lauschangriff, Galerie Zeitzone · often with Matryoschka, Migz, Dub Isotope, none of them here that night

the whole biography
The project „alllone“ was founded by three producers based in Graz and Vienna. Formed out of loneliness, they joined forces to continue their quest through electronic beatmaking. Gravitating towards 170bpm, but never limited, they seek for harmonic and distorted sounds in their productions.Their RA profile lists Potent Funk.Recently at Gretchen, Lauschangriff · often with Babe Gorgeous, Box2, Turrican, none of them here that night
Recently at Drugstore im Rockhaus · often with Genoe, Migz, Dub Isotope, none of them here that night
