their own biography
the whole biography
Byron Yeates is a Berlin-based DJ and producer, founder of the party-turned record label Radiant Records, co-founder of La Noche, and a resident at Adonis in London, as well as Power Dance Club and Refuge Worldwide in Berlin. He has served his signature sound at Panorama Bar, Fold, Bassiani, Nowadays, Club Raum, TAG and beyond. Yeates’ sets are inflected with an attitude that can at once be incredibly playful and theatrically sincere; a duality that animates the queer lineage of electronic dance music in which Yeates places himself. Since November 2019, Yeates’ label Radiant Records has released an array of EPs by artists both local and abroad. The catalogue is filled with floor-ready cuts that also reward close listening—the RR sound is rich with unexpected timbres and textures, clever melodic lines, and rhythms pivoting far off the 4/4.Their RA profile lists !K7, High Hoops, Dischi Autunno, Planet Euphorique and 6 more.Recently at Backsteinboot, OHM, Haus der Visionäre · often with Disk Cartel, THC, Carly Zeng, none of them here that night

London born, Berlin based fka.m4a (Jay Jackson) has built a solid reputation in the underground scene with a distinctive blend of euphoric and sensual House music. The London born and Berlin-based DJ has made an impact worldwide with filmed sets amassing over half a million streams online and has played at venues and festivals like Timewarp, Lost Village, Sonar and Panorama Bar, features in Mixmag and Electronic Beats, plus Peggy Gou in his corner as a mentor, his stock is firmly on the rise. Born in London, music was always front and centre in his family home, his mother playing music to him through headphones while he was still in the womb. Citing acts whose USP was female empowerment as the first music he found for himself, the likes of Spice Girls and Lil Kim were early musical influences, eventually leading him to start DJing on the queer scene in London. “I was working on the Soho & East London circuit” he says. “I was mainly doing guestlist and hosting but eventually they asked me to DJ and I spent a few years cutting my teeth on that scene.” Learning how to work a crowd as a pop DJ, seeing Honey Dijon DJ on his first trip to Berlin in 2016 led him down the rabbit hole of electronic music and led to a shift in his focus. “I completely fell in love with the storytelling element of her set,” he says. “I spent the next year immersed in dance music culture and started playing the electronic room at queer events.” Moving to Berlin in 2019, the pandemic quickly put a stop to his burgeoning DJ career before a switch to recording streams from his apartment during covid saw his profile blow up, leading to signing with an agency and bagging his first Panorama Bar set when lockdown lifted. With an event series in the pipeline and a summer stacked with festival shows from Hï Ibiza to DGTL, fka.m4a has firmly cemented himself as one of the leading artists in the underground space.Their RA profile lists Nervous Records and Love & Other.Recently at OST, THE CODE, RSO.BERLIN · often with AMORAL, Concrete Husband, ADAM MUNNINGS, none of them here that night

the whole biography
With a dramaturgical approach to DJ sets, Carl Bergé specializes in cross-genre selections built with exponential intensity, earning a residency at HÖR Berlin in 2025 and regular slots alongside artists such as Sally C, Marie Montexier, Sam Alfred, Kikelomo, Gabrielle Kwarteng, DJ Heartstring and Lovefoxy. While House music remains at the core of his sound, Carl’s productions blend his passion for deep, pacy and unconventional music - garnering support and recognition from icons such as Skin On Skin, DJ BORING and Job Jobse. Although he grew up in West-Germany, Carl’s passion for electronic music ignited in ever-sunny Australia, where he spent 12-hour farmwork shifts listening to early releases of Mall Grab and Ross From Friends on repeat. Further down the road, institutions like SASH, Revolver Upstairs and Naarm’s celebrated Breakfast Club shaped his taste and understanding of electronic music. After relocating to Berlin, he founded label and event series coconut concepts and quickly started playing in the esteemed club scene of the so-called “Techno Capital“. Besides a variety of festivals such as Amsterdam’s ADE, he played international debuts across UK, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria and more recently a tour through Nicaragua including a residency at the widely recognized Treehouse Club. Key venues on home turf and beyond include Cologne’s Gewölbe, Hamburg’s PAL, Mainz’s bürro, Vienna’s Praterstrasse and Berlin's usual suspects such as ELSE, RSO, Watergate and Sisyphos.Recently at Humboldthain Club, Horváth, Studio1111 · often with Pauly, house-set, Matrixxman, none of them here that night
