their own biography
the whole biography
Robot Koch is an award-winning artist and composer from Berlin, now located in Los Angeles. With a discography that spans numerous albums and over 100 Million streams on Spotify alone, Robot Koch has established himself as a sonic explorer in the realm of electronic, ambient, and modern classical music. His compositions have been featured in several movies, TV shows, and his own immersive AV experiences that sell out venues worldwide. Koch won several international awards for his work, collaborated with Grammy-nominated Estonian conductor Kristjan Järvi and his Orchestra, remixed artists like Max Richter, Christian Loeffler, and Anoushka Shankar, and is in an ongoing collaboration with The Monroe Institute around the sonic exploration of human consciousness. In his ambient Project Foam and Sand, Robot Koch expands his fascination with the intersection between science and spirituality. The result is truly transformative music, reminiscent of legendary ambient composer Harold Budd’s own reveries and the quiet ecstasy of early Sigur Ros.Their RA profile lists Crosstown Rebels, BPitch, Four Music, Tokyo Dawn Records and 4 more.often with TWO LANES, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Born in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan, Anahit Vardanyan’s unique productions are informed by her nation’s traditional music, as well as blending influences from techno, electronic and ethnic sounds from across the globe. A remarkable producer, as well as talented selector, she cultivates a spellbinding atmosphere throughout her work, utilising her classical training. With a penchant for emotive melodies, positive musicality and a desire to focus on the brighter elements of techno, Anahit’s mission is to build a diverse global community of music fans, and creators, all connected by the same deep rooted love. Music is Anahit’s calling. She went from playing piano at the age of seven to studying at the Conservatory of Yerevan. After graduating in 2016, she took the bold decision to leave her home nation and head to Hamburg, where she began to truly blossom. Anahit’s earliest experiences with electronic music came through her studies and then in Hamburg’s clubs and bars. This was the first time she felt a deep connection to electronic music, and, in her own words, she fell in love. With her formal training and wide-ranging influences, Anahit’s early productions were of a high enough standard to find a home on an Armenian label run by her friends. From there she released with German labels Jannowitz Records and Alaula, plus Hydrozoa in Los Angeles. Anahit’s relationship with the piano is everything, it’s her channel for expressing the full spectrum of her emotions - she can be joyful and happy or depressed and sad, it all flows freely with the instrument that is so fundamental to her creativity. She is acutely aware of how music impacts the state of mind and wellbeing of those who are listening to it, working to ensure that her productions have a positive influence. As she continues to develop and evolve, keeping a strong focus on her output and desires, Anahit is cultivating an unparalleled legacy while making a unique contribution to the progression of global electronic music culture.Their RA profile lists Kitchen Recordings.Recently at KitKatClub, Birgit, Ritter Butzke · often with NTO, SugarMama, Joyhauser, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Jeena is a Palestinian-Canadian sound artist based in Berlin working with neuroacoustic sound, perception, and embodied listening. Her work moves through ambient composition, voice, and rhythm, forming slow listening environments where sound reshapes attention, emotion, and bodily state over time, both on and off the dancefloor. Spanning performance, recording, and installation, she treats sound less as genre and more as space drawing from ambient, electronic, and trance to create fluid, atmospheric systems of listening. She has presented work at ADE, HORST Festival, Roskilde Festival, Funkhaus, DGTL, and Concertgebouw, as well as a residency at Kwia. Her sound holds listening as a shared space. Soft, physical, and expansive, where perception becomes something lived rather than observed.Their RA profile lists Ransom Note, Human by Default and Intercept.Recently at Funkhaus Berlin, Atemporal, Ikii · often with Notte Infinita, Delta Rain, Justin Shaffer, none of them here that night
