their own biography
the whole biography
Since Marcel Koar first watched the Loveparade on a tube TV, he has been deeply in love with club music. Perhaps it was this initiation ritual that has kept him loyal to vinyl records to this day, making him one of the rare vinyl-only DJs. His heart also beats for analog mixers, and he can endlessly rave about the advantages of rotary mixers. He does so in the same way he DJs: with elegant understatement and moments of ecstatic energy. The many crew members who are captivated by his sets appreciate this about him. As part of Children Of The Drum, the Chimaera Festival, MiDi, and as a regular organizer of his own parties, he's had plenty of opportunities to prove it. By now, he hasn’t only played everywhere with a sound system in his adopted home of Dresden; his understanding of house music is also well-received across the rest of the country—and even more so, heard. But don’t ask him about tracks or artists, because for him, music manifests through album covers in his mind. Beyond Dresden his musical journey has taken him to the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland and Ukraine - most recently even to Berlin’s notorious Sisyphos, about Blank & Golden Gate. Chapeau! No matter where he goes, no dancer’s heart can save itself from his fine house, acid and wave right up to disco beats.Last at ://about blank in Dec 2025 · often with Multifun, Jessamine, Alex.Do, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Tim Niwo is a Berlin-based DJ and vinyl selector with roots on the Baltic coast. He found his way into electronic music in 2014 at UKW - Kraftwerk in Rostock, where he has been a resident ever since. His sets blend driving and hypnotic techno with raw Detroit cuts, dub weight and spacey, ethereal stretches, leaving room for bleeps, classic trance and uplifting moments, held together by storytelling, not by one tempo or texture. He works in arcs instead of peaks, reading the room and following where it pulls him. Since moving to Berlin in 2018, his perspective and his taste have continued to widen. Alongside his residency in Rostock, he has played at clubs including ://about blank, Renate, Sisyphos and Hamburg's Südpol. Besides DJing, he is part of the Chimaera collective, with whom he runs Chimaera Festival and a series of parties in eastern Germany.Last at Renate in Feb · often with Die Anstalt, Adelheid, DJ IBAN 600, none of them here that night
