“Thomas Schumacher was eleven years old when Depeche Mode released Construction Time Again.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Thomas Schumacher was eleven years old when Depeche Mode released Construction Time Again. "I'll never forget sitting at home, listening to the album in my headphones, trying to figure out how they made those sounds." Thirty-four years later, Thomas Schumacher still burns with curiosity. The Berlin-based DJ and producer makes light of his status as one of the most enduring, versatile artists in electronic music. "What I love about Techno is that it demands that you question yourself, reinvent yourself." Thomas Schumacher is always pushing his own boundaries. "The art of being relevant," he says, "Is to forget what you know.” In his early days as an artist, he had to learn how to physically create the sounds he heard in his head. Now, as a virtuoso, the challenge is to use his breadth and depth of musical knowledge to convey profound emotion. "Techno is not just a tool to make people dance," he says. "It is a very personal, intimate way of expressing myself." This intimacy fuels the unique vibe of a Thomas Schumacher DJ set. He compares himself to the captain of a ship. “I purposely steer my sets into rough waters. I want to help people get out of their heads and into their bodies. I create a safe space for people to lose their minds, in the best possible way. They know they don't need to worry or be afraid, because I’ve got them. I know what I'm doing. They can let go and just be." When not guiding clubbers through seas of sound, Schumacher reaches them via his productions on his label Electric Ballroom, and his weekly NOW podcast. NOW is a showcase for his low-key charm and impeccable ear for a great tune. And, like his DJ sets, the podcast is a forum for his studio output including the recent Natural Rhythm EPs on Noir. The more you do, the more there is to explore, the more opportunities to invent, connect, and imagine. "I am always the one to change it up," Thomas Schumacher grins. "My ongoing ambition is to connect to the crowd, year after year. It's what lights me up." His latest release, Natural Rhythm III on Noir Music, lit up the Beatport Techno chart, going straight to Number 1. Its highlight is "Stella", a propulsive anthem dedicated to his daughter. He sees no reason to compartmentalise his music and life. Everything is connected, everything is authentic. "There is no other version of me," he says. "When you meet me, you meet Thomas Schumacher."

“Hailing from the deep swamplands of Southeast Finland, it’s no surprise Annina’s exposure to electronic music was found while traveling elsewhere - in fact, it was becoming involved in the Sydney scene which spawned her love for dance music, and ultimately inspired her move to Berlin in 2018.”

Hailing from the deep swamplands of Southeast Finland, it’s no surprise Annina’s exposure to electronic music was found while traveling elsewhere - in fact, it was becoming involved in the Sydney scene which spawned her love for dance music, and ultimately inspired her move to Berlin in 2018. It was there she became focused on her groovy but upfront sound and met like-minded music heads eventually co-founding the minimal collective Zapped Berlin in 2021. Aside from DJing around Europe for respected venues such as Hoppetosse in Berlin and Culture Box in Denmark her work as a producer has been well-received and she is now focused in the studio on pushing her sound to the next level amongst a few other yet-to-be-revealed projects.Their RA profile lists Zapped Records.Recently at Kater, Hoppetosse, Ritter Butzke · often with Jonaku (DE), Ujin, Cyko, none of them here that night

Sound has been a passion and music a significant element of life for Australian-born producer and DJ Papa K for many years. Operating in a world between digital and analogue he can be found driving dance floors using a fusion of sound layers rooted in micro house, minimal techno and breakbeat. With both vinyl and digital offerings on labels such as Sydney’s ‘Touch of Loft’ and more releases, his productions continue to present new ideas. Having co-run parties ’FLUX’ & ‘Delight’ alongside partners in his hometown of Brisbane, and been resident for Dragonfruit alongside playing for respected crews in Sydney including SASH, Roots, Mantra Collective and Dirty Feet - Papa K launched Zapped Berlin parties in 2021Their RA profile lists Zapped Records.Recently at Kater, Mom's Limousine Service, Hoppetosse · often with Cyko, Jonaku (DE), Jack Clark, none of them here that night
