  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Francesco Farfa has got his groove back. In recent times, the Italian DJ has found himself re-energised once again, back in love with electronic music and right back at the sharp end of the underground scene. A true digger and sound obsessive, Farfa comes armed with decades of experience and musical appreciation, but now with a fresh perspective that means he is once again doing what he does best: turning musical emotions and compelling rhythms into dance floor art. The Florence born DJ first started playing as far back as the 90s, laying down vital sets of funk, disco and proto-house sounds. His deck skills and rare knack for selection and sequencing meant he soon became one of Italy’s most famous DJ exports, with his unique skills earning him sets at some of the most prestigious night venues and festivals, such as Space (Ibiza), Amnesia (Ibiza), E-Werk (Berlin), Vinyl (New York), Sonar (Barcelona), Love Parade (Berlin), Monegros (Fraga), Street Parade (Zurich),Tenax (Firenze) and many more. From a production perspective, Farfa has released on the likes of Air Trance , Rising High , Memento, Souvenir and Serial Killer, always evolving with each new 12″. Timeless sounds that always leave an impression, Farfa’s records have earned a renaissance of late thanks to the support of numerous high-profile players from the scene. Farfa’s music has been called everything from psychedelic techno to cyber-trance, but it is impossible to truly define, with Farfa instead going in whatever direction his heart takes him. Hugely respected in his native country, Farfa has influenced a whole host of Italian DJs (and not only). Francesco Farfa is now where he belongs: deep in the underground, playing challenging and unpredictable sets of slick and sleek house, techno and minimal.

  Janina

  Berlin · 7 bookings since Aug 2025

  “Janina is a Berlin mainstay.”

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Janina is a Berlin mainstay. She is one of those rare artists who became a household name by the power of her sheer will and talent. An intuitive house and techno DJ who’s clocked up two decades behind the decks, Berlin born and based Janina brims with as much enthusiasm today as she did when she got her start at Club Der Visionäre in 2004. That start became a residency, and it’d be the first of several notable club postings that Janina has intermixed with a stacked, city-vaulting gig schedule. In 2024 she continues her long-standing Tresor residency, and she’s set for an exhilarating new chapter with the launch of a record label, the release of her debut productions and hosting for the first time her own events in Ibiza. Berlin’s enigmatic scene of the early noughties was Janina’s entry point to clubbing. A teenager at the turn of the Millenium, formal education became background noise when she discovered Tresor, and more importantly, those infamous BeatStreet parties. At the core of these daytime sessions were Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Cassy and Magda, and they swiftly stepped in with the teachings that would feed Janina’s eventual vocation. “This time was one of the most beautiful things to happen in my life. I wouldn’t be where I am now without these parties. It was all about the music and nothing else. You completely lost your sense of time and I became addicted to this way of living - people coming together for the same purpose and creating this unique energy.” What’s immediately apparent with Janina is her deep connection to her records. Collecting vinyl since she was 15, with an illuminative, taste-broadening stretch at DNS Records accelerating her passion for it, she now sits on a stack of over 10,000. We’re long into the click-keen digital age, but Janina still favours and prioritises in store digging, spending hours flipping through records and weaving through the decades. Avid record digging has certainly benefited Janina when it comes to having ample ammo for her many residencies. From holding a spot at Club Der Visionäre for the best part of a decade, she moved to Moscow in 2013 and became part of the fabric of its thriving techno scene with a weekly slot at Monasterio, playing alongside Ben Klock, Robert Hood, Chris Liebing, DVS1, Marcel Dettmann, and Kenny Larkin, among others. “The Moscow move is easily one of the best decisions that I’ve made for personal growth and progressing as a DJ. It was the first time I’d lived away from home. It reminded me of Berlin in the early 2000s.” A move to Ibiza brought a residency at Sankeys for the Unusual Suspects crew which she’d hold down for three fulfilling seasons. Tresor was next to tap her, with Janina being billed alongside Joey Beltram, James Ruskin, The Advent and Robert Hood, as well as being offered to host her own nights on the Globus floor which had her embrace house, inviting DJs like Fumiya Tanaka, Cassy, Thomas Melchior, Troy Pierce and Sammy Dee. London then came calling, with a savvy move to the city quickly landing her a residency at E1 which she’d run alongside Tresor. E1 would be another outlet for her techno kicks, with line-ups also featuring Juan Atkins, Scuba, Ellen Allien and Function. It’s an addiction to the emotional effects of music and the togetherness within club culture that spur Janina. A gifted selector, her trajectory is and always has been ego-free, putting the music way above anything else. From within the walls of Berghain, Panorama Bar, Space Ibiza, Tresor, Club Der Visionäre, Ibiza Underground, DC10, REX, Culture Box, Hoppetosse and any other hallowed clubs that she’s played, she simply seeks to create what was seen at the parties that soundtracked her youth. In 2024, Janina enters a new phase. Willing to improve the electronic landscape, she’ll launch her Triplevisions showcase for the first season in Ibiza and hosting her own events. Busy mastering her sound, the process has involved an intensive production and live performance course at Mathew Johnson’s production school Freedom Engine Academy. The label will also be a home for new talent, with her being especially keen to throw her years of experience into nurturing emerging artists. While she plays across both genres, within any set she proficiently sticks to just one, depending on the booking. “I’ve always loved to play house and techno. When I play house, I like to stay in that flow, that feeling, the tempo…and the same applies for techno.”

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Italian DJ and producer based in Berlin, Francesco Hamsa has built his identity through a deep connection to underground electronic music and vinyl culture. Originally from Riccione in Italy, his passion for music started early through the study of piano and percussion, before discovering the world of electronic music at the legendary Cocoricò club back in early 2000. That experience sparked a lifelong dedication to club culture. Hamsa vision aims to preserve and create culture within the electronic music scene at a time when the underground spirit of clubbing is increasingly disappearing, emphasizing that music and music culture go beyond commercial value and are rooted in artistic expression and community. Since relocating to Berlin in 2012, Francesco has immersed himself in the city’s underground scene, where he began producing while also performing as a resident for REEF at Griessmuehle, Utopie, and More Now parties under a different alias. Strongly focused on vinyl and his sets are carefully crafted journeys where rhythm, atmosphere, and experimentation merge on the dancefloor. His productions, shaped by 90s aesthetics and early Italian progressive sounds, are defined by a persistent rhythmic drive, intricate and evolving sound design, and a strong sense of forward motion. Arrangement plays a central role in his work, with continuously developing structures that keep tension, movement, and emotion in constant interplay. He has released music on labels including Enchanted Rhythms, Ecke Records, and Nollern. In 2023, Hamsa co-founded Musek Records alongside Italian electronic pioneer Francesco Farfa and mix engineer Denio Barani. Since then, the label has hosted regular events at Club der Visionaere during the summer and Hoppetosse in winter, alongside Italian residencies in collaboration with Wax4Breakfast and Archivio 180. The label, now at its third release selling over 3,000 vinyl copies and establishing itself as a platform for forward-thinking electronic music and artistic freedom.

  Miki Miki’s sets are journeys, composed with a dexterity that translates into both his experience and his talent for reading the crowd, feeling the moment and its context. With a natural enthusiasm, a generous and friendly nature; with the knowledge, and respect for his craft, but also an open-minded and avant-garde vision, he has the gift of creating immersive, even psychedelic sound experiences: special moments on the dance floor, highlighting his concept of music versatility, which is an important aspect for the development of today’s Dj culture Since the dawn of the electronic movement, Miki has dedicated his life to discovering, creating and playing musical wonders; in doing so, he has become one of the architects of the heritage that we keep rediscovering, interpreting and growing today. Just like this music culture, Miki has never stopped evolving with the times, and continues to surprise and amaze new generations, standing out as one of the most interesting characters of the moment, with the gratitude for being an inspiration to many of them throughout time. Some may know him as Miki The Dolphin, Major Hypnotic Key Institute or one of the several aliases of his releases on labels such as interactive Test, Dbx, Seekers, Spazio Tempo, Kalahari Oyster Cult and many others but his productions couldn’t portray him entirely without talking about his art of djing. Founder of Sun Generation Records, his own label that he started back in 1999, he has always found talents by placing music at the centre and seeking interactions in world music and jazz. https://www.mhki.com official web
