    their own biography

    the whole biography
    With Ukrainian roots growing up in Berlin, Chontane started playing in his city’s clubs at the mere age of 19. Starting things off with a residency at the Krach nights in Humboldthain and now having played for some of the most prestigious clubs such as Basement, KALT, Tresor, Radion & BRET in Amsterdam, Blitz, Fuse club in Brussels, and RSO in Berlin, Chontane can be increasingly found blurring the lines between techno, breaks, and electro in cities around the word. Part of the new wave of producers more invested in sound design and razorsharp productions than ever before, Chontane’s early studies in music and sound design allow for surgical precision; his fascination for sound in general can be heard in his records. He gives body to his work and has been pulling together tribal and groovy techniques inspired by the classic 90s and early 2000s club records to create density and effect on the dancefloor. His work stands at a stylistic crossroads between various dance genres, easily slipping into just about anyone’s tracklist if their goal is to get people moving. Since his debut release in 2018, Chontane has garnered praise and support, leaving a lasting impact on the industry. Notably, he has released two highly anticipated records on ARTS Records, showcasing his versatility and talent. Additionally, he launched his own label, TANE, and recently released a second EP on the rapidly rising label, Mutual Rytm, associated with SHDW & Obscure Shape. With his roots grown deep in the world’s techno capital, Chontane’s career is well on its way to becoming international. Ready to push boundaries and surprise music enthusiasts with unexpected blends to fire off his erratic taste in music, Chontane’s mixes and productions represent today’s necessity for the perfect balance between consistent innovation and guaranteed efficiency.

    the whole biography
    Whether delivering pure techno, soulful house, or futurist electro, DVS1’s sets are high-energy transmissions—anchored by flawless technique and a deep, instinctive feel for the dancefloor. More than just performances, DVS1’s sets are moments of connection, honoring the past while pushing sonic boundaries forward. DVS1 has released on electronic music’s most prestigious imprints, including Axis Records, Transmat, Klockworks, PoleGroup, and his own labels, HUSH and Mistress Recordings. As a DJ, he has held residencies at world-renowned clubbing institutions, including Fuse, Bassiani, Smartbar, and Berghain / Panorama Bar, where he is one of the few artists trusted to play both floors. As a beat and rhythm addict, DVS1 is an architect of immersive dancefloor experiences, most notably through his large-scale sonic project, The Wall of Sound. Through his multidimensional platform HUSH, his passion and respect for music runs through every aspect of his work—whether behind the decks, in the studio, or designing sound systems. Beyond the booth, he’s challenging outdated industry structures, proven by creating the revenue-sharing platform Aslice as well as his widely embraced Enjoy Right Now campaign. DVS1’s legacy reflects a commitment to evolution through authenticity—always grounded in the values that shaped him and always in service to the music and the dancefloor. In a time increasingly defined by distraction and digital spectacle, his work stands as a reminder of the lasting power of shared experience and the present moment. DVS1’s voice as an innovator and advocate has been earned and his presence, on and off the dancefloor, stays true to his past without losing sight of the future.

    the whole biography
    A passionate record collector with an eclectic taste spanning jazz, reggae, hip-hop, rock, and of course house and techno, Elisa Bee is equally captivated by the rich sounds of the past and the experimental waves shaping the future of music. Moving fluidly through ever-evolving creative landscapes, she has been DJing for over 18 years—starting in her native Sardinia before making her mark in Milan. Elisa’s productions have garnered international recognition, earning airplay on dancefloors and radio stations worldwide. Her music has been released on esteemed labels such as Symbolism, Hardgroove, Truncate, Unknown To The Unknown, Balkan Vinyl, I Love Acid and ANAØH. In recent years, her sound has evolved towards techno with a strong 90s influence and one of her latest projects includes a collaborative EP with Detroit legend Rolando, released in late 2024, alongside numerous remixes and solo tracks. Resident Advisor has recently recognised her as one of the finest selectors and producers in Italy: "[...] exploring and then refining a style of techno that has that rare, hard to put your finger on quality: a soulful reverence that pays homage to the old days and the originators without just copying them". As a resident DJ at Tempio Del Futuro Perduto in Milan, Elisa’s all-night sets are described as immersive journeys: “acid, very groovy, sometimes dark, always energetic and dreamy towards the end.” Regular at Berghain since 2023, she has showcased her signature sound through some of the most respected podcast series, including HATE, Awakenings, Slam Radio, and RA Podcast.

    “Kwartz is the stage name of Mario Campos, born in Madrid in 1989 and now based in Berlin.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Kwartz is the stage name of Mario Campos, born in Madrid in 1989 and now based in Berlin. In late 2011 and after publishing several EP’s in different international labels, Kwartz's productions began to draw the attention of the leading names in the international scene, so in 2013 Exium released a split EP with him called Fenomen, which was his first release on vinyl. In late 2013 Kwartz joined PoleGroup and became part of the booking roster of the label commanded by Oscar Mulero, where he began to release his works regularly. In addition to PoleGroup, his tracks have appeared in several of the most important international labels, such as 47 (Tommy Four Seven’s label), Mord Records, Semantica, Horo or Warm Up Recordings. 2016 brings the launch of his own label: Order&Devotion, where he will release those of his works which move between dark atmospheres and deep and visceral sounds, all surrounded by rhythms designed for the dance floor. His sets could be described with three words: raw, mental and groovy, in which he pushes the dancefloor to a constantly state of tension.

    California, United States of America · 15 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Leaning into the hypnotic, the tension-building, and the euphoric release—Lolsnake (she/they) does not simply play to a room, she creates it.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Leaning into the hypnotic, the tension-building, and the euphoric release—Lolsnake (she/they) does not simply play to a room, she creates it. With a fluid, genre-defiant approach, her sets move between the reduced and the raw, the dramatic and the unpredictable, stirring up heady atmospheres and hypnotic moods on the dancefloor. Driving rhythms and intricate sound design sit alongside moments of startling emotional depth — a sonic signature that is at once intense and deeply feeling, cerebral and magnetically unpredictable. A regular at Berghain, Lolsnake is also the founder of Weeeirdos, a queer platform that champions subversive joy, curiosity, and community. As a DJ and visual artist, her multifaceted background fuels a perspective that is both boundary-pushing and deeply rooted in connection — her sets a constant balance between classic dancefloor accessibility and a desire to push at the edges of genre convention. In 2025, Lolsnake took her sound global, performing at Bassiani (Tbilisi), Basement NYC, WHOLE Festival, and returned to Berghain for several celebrated sets that reflected her evolving sonic palette. Her genre-crossing energy has also been showcased in guest mixes for Mixmag, DJ Mag, The Lot Radio, and Crack Magazine. Weeeirdos, which began in 2017 as a hybrid event combining live music, performance and visual art, has since become one of Berlin's most vital queer dance platforms. In 2023, it moved from OHM to a residency at Säule (Berghain). That same year, Boiler Room invited Lolsnake to curate a Weeeirdos live stream from Berlin's dungeon-like Nåpoleon Komplex. Lolsnake has since been asked to curate key events on the Berghain Mainfloor, The Ground (Space) Miami, Radion Amsterdam, and more. Born in California to Iraqi parents and raised in Oakland, Lolsnake's musical roots trace back to classical training in clarinet, saxophone, and bass clarinet. Her teenage years were shaped by a love of Depeche Mode, Underworld, The Knife, and the Arabic tapes of Oum Kalthoum and Fairouz. A move to Manchester in 2010 to study neuroscience immersed her in the UK's DIY rave scene. Berlin followed in 2014, where she found a deep sense of belonging in the city's queer nightlife. After a decade in Berlin, Lolsnake's sets have matured into shimmering constellations of rhythm — reduced and raw one moment, warm and euphoric the next, with mischievous curveballs at just the right moment. With plans to launch the Weeeirdos label and take the project on a global tour, she remains a powerful force in contemporary club culture: driven by feeling, rooted in community, and guided by no rules but her own.

In early 2011, he started the project 'Truncate' to focus on the deeper, raw side of techno.

    “Where words fail, music speaks.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Where words fail, music speaks. Reserved and solitary, Léa found refuge in music since her childhood. Jazz, soul music or French chansons, family moments usually came and still come hand in hand with music and sharing the joint, somewhat meditative listening experience. An ardent curiosity for Electronic Music started rising in her highschool days, pushing her towards broadening the musical horizon and consequently DJing in parallel to her fashion and design studies. After a few years of exploring parties in Germany and Paris, she co-founded Spectrum Waves in 2017 - a parisian LGBTQ+ collective with tolerance, diversity, freedom, parity and respect at its core. The collective hosts events at Station Gare des Mines, a rehabilitated industrial wasteland and former railway station, to provide a safer space for minority communities, where freedom of expression is lived in all thinkable forms. Through its lineups and podcasts channel, Spectrum highlights emerging French and international DJs and producers. Léa is also at the forefront of promoting women in the Parisian electronic scene. Further commitments go as far as donating parts of the Spectrum earnings to different associations close to her heart such as aid to migrants and refugees, LGBTQIA+ associations or the fight against HIV. Through her collective, she has managed to create a perfect balance between her own desires, ambitions and her fundamental values. Name the unnameable, communicate the unknowable. Spectrum Waves also vastly helped shaping Léa’s musical comprehension and appreciation of Techno as an outlet, which is able to create the same meditative listening experience and togetherness she feels when listening to music with her family. Her sets stand out for their sharp selection and absolute coherence. A mental, groovy Techno fueled by organic, tribal elements – widely reverberating in its uniqueness and class. The creation of an intimate atmosphere and cohesion in each of her sets makes them stand out, equally so does the implementation of feelings and emotions while at the same time following a rather minimalistic approach in the music itself. A real digger at heart, she has a very wide range of styles and tempos, from techno to micro house, minimal, deep, or ambient - she knows how to adapt and read energies, giving what's needed at the right moment. Pornceptual, Eerste Cie, Power Dance Club or Meat free… Playing for collectives that match her values and commitments is crucial. She performs in renowned clubs and festivals such as Berghain, Tresor, Club Raum, De School, Bassiani, Basement NYC, Fold, Le Sucre, ∄ Kyiv, Awakenings, Dekmantel, Fusion, Whole Festival to name a few.

    Berlin · 12 bookings since Sep 2025

    “Born in West Berlin in the 1970s, the producer has come a long way since first hearing Technotronic’s “Pump Up the Jam” on the radio in 1989, a time when the Berlin Wall was pulverized to the ground and house music reached the city in full force.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Born in West Berlin in the 1970s, the producer has come a long way since first hearing Technotronic’s “Pump Up the Jam” on the radio in 1989, a time when the Berlin Wall was pulverized to the ground and house music reached the city in full force. Growing up on a diet of George Benson and Chic from his American stepfather’s collection, he then entered the quintessential orbit of Hardwax and Tresor in the early ’90s. It was there that he discovered his love of Chicago’s chopped-and-screwed roughness and New York’s groove. The young producer took his influences and transformed them into a template that would come to define his output: he chopped, cut, and reforged loops into his first Soundhack release in 1997, which was met with instant acclaim, as well as his first official Soundstream release in 1999, “Good Soul”. Since then, each new Sound Stream, Soundhack, or Smith ‘N’ Hack record (his singular collaboration with friend and peer Errorsmith) is greeted with anticipation by DJs, producers, and fans around the world. The pace for his output—released every few years in a measured fashion, but always instantly classic—has kept up with the quality of releases, from the timeless “Live Goes On”, “Bass Affairs” and „Love Remedy“ to his recent triple album „Disco Fantasy“. Tightly sampling disco and funk and overlaying them with pummeling kicks, his tracks are always instantly recognizable, dance floor bombs—crossovers as likely to be found in the bags of disco heads as much as house producers. Helming his DJing craft in the old Tresor and Ostgut, few can lay claim to having played at Berghain/Panorama Bar around 200 times since its doors opened in 2004, a residency that has cemented Soundstream’s DJing reputation at home and abroad. A look into his bag reveals lovely disco 12 inches, dirty Chicago house, immortal club classics, and dew-fresh jams—all blended, mixed, and sliced together with style, grace, and his trademark smile. Humble and understated, Soundstream doesn’t cater much to the world of social media hype and vacuous musical trends. Rather, like all great musicians, he lets the music do the talking.
