the whole biography
I’m Biesmans, Belgian-born, Berlin-based. I make “Heart Groove”: house music that’s supposed to do three things: make you move, make you feel something, and connect you with the people around you. The sound? Warm grooves, analog synths, melodies you’ll remember on the way home. Nothing overly complicated. Just music that works on a dancefloor — the kind that needs a few hours to really take you somewhere. I’ve played some incredible club spaces: Panoramabar, Fabric, Fuse, Dedge. Festival stages: Tomorrowland, Pukkelpop, EXIT, Fusion. And plenty more rooms in between My music’s been released on Running Back, Turbo Recordings, Correspondant, and my own label MUEM Records. Made an album called Trains, Planes and Automobiles, and put together the Watergate 28 compilation with people like Mathew Jonson, Zombies in Miami, Kasper Bjørke, and Shubostar. I’m passionate about synths. Spend way too much time in the studio messing with machines and posting (POVs) about it. That’s how the music gets made: trial, error, and finding sounds that hit right. Currently working on a new album for 2026. Same mission as always: create moments on dancefloors where people lose themselves, feel good, and remember why they love this music in the first place. That’s it. Physical, emotional, social. Everything else is noise.Their RA profile lists Turbo Recordings, Running Back, Watergate Records and Correspondant.Recently at Berghain, Renate · often with Berghain, abs8lute, eveava, none of them here that night

Immersing herself in the UK House and Disco scene, she has shared the stage with renowned names like Horse Meat Disco and Greg Wilson, earning a reputation for her ability to blend classic and modern sounds effortlessly. In 2018, Eva was selected for the Smirnoff Equalising Music Program, a prestigious initiative aimed at promoting gender equality in the music industry. This selection marked a significant milestone in her career, providing her with further opportunities to hone her craft and amplify her voice within the electronic music community, with the support from DJ mentor Artwork. Currently based in Berlin, Eva is a resident DJ for the local label Small Great Things. and its event series at Oxi. Alongside her club work and involvement with the label, she has spent the past few years managing Elevate, the House-focused record store run by Cinthie. These experiences have deepened her connection to vinyl culture and played a key role in shaping her intuitive, multi-format approach behind the decks. Her unique way of mixing original tracks, edits, and remixes take listeners and dancers on a journey through both timeless and contemporary grooves, bringing an infectious energy that leaves audiences smiling, dancing, and wanting more.Their RA profile lists Small Great Things and At A Glance.Recently at Fitzroy, Bulbul Berlin, OXI · often with Siggatunez, Luca Olivotto, Quadrakey, none of them here that night
