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.

Furotica, formerly known as Furor Exótica, is an Argentinian dancefloor-oriented duo from Buenos Aires, formed in 2014 by vocalist Barbie Garbage and producer Ric Piccolo. They have five powerful EPs and multiple V/A collaborations on labels such as Bordello A Parigi, Toy Tonics, Tom Tom Disco, and Boots & Legs. Their latest release, Rebirth Is Hardwire (2025), the duo shed their former skin to reveal a sleeker, more menacing incarnation. One where vintage synth-wave collides headfirst with razor-edged Italo-disco, wired tight with a delirious, psychedelic charge. Since the project began, they have toured extensively across South America, Europe, and Asia, performing at various clubs and festivals worldwide. Furotica has been remixed by Franz Scala, Kay-chi. Richard Rossa, Frank Agrario, Fabrizio Mammarella, Leitstrahl, Future Feelings, Kayroy & Greetings, Alan Dente, Trujillo, and Donald's House, among others.Their RA profile lists Bordello A Parigi, Tom Tom Disco and Boots & Legs.Recently at Sameheads, Rough Trade Berlin, Lauschangriff · often with Hara Katsiki, Barbie Garbage, Ric Piccolo, none of them here that night
