their own biography
the whole biography
Miro Lopasso, aka Boyca, is a hard-hitting Techno naturalist: as a queer, Swiss-born DJ, producer, and Berlin transplant, Boyca’s convulsing and maximalist productions channel the transformative and liberating dancefloor hypnotism he experienced into relentless Techno totems with industrial undercurrents—strobe-lit, sweat-drenched, and charged with raw physicality. Debuting on Dutch label Mord with the mangled, slow-burning blowout Beneath in 2015, Boyca has since recast his throttling industrial core into a functional, sexy, and floor-driven framework. The result is an enrapturing blend of shuddering low-end and complex groove structures that cycle through frenzied drum machine sequences, crushed loops, and heaving, spaced-out atmospheres. Ass It! (Creaked; 2020), The Encounter from Galactic Outposts (Creaked; 2022), Modified Humans (LPS; 2021), Nediar (LPS; 2021), and Remote Controlled (LPS; 2022)—with heavyweight remixers Charlton, Rosseen, Stanislav Tolkachev, and Rrose—followed in quick succession, sharpening Boyca’s vision of oscillating sound design, pounding groove structures, and infinitely morphing apogees with a dystopian undercurrent. Over time, Boyca has steadily transfigured his thunderous industrialism into a gritty brand of high-energy Techno with hot-blooded joie de vivre, culminating in 2024 with his most uptempo and floor-focused work. A four-track EP on Berlin label …is serving, with remixes by Rexer & Nymed, landed as a relentless, fast-paced concrete séance—built for the floor and designed with a writhing mass of bodies in mind. 2025 marked another leap forward with The Necessary Substance (…is serving; June 2025), the label’s ninth release, where Boyca carved out his own pocket of queer club-space—where distortion meets devotion. Across three uncompromising tracks, Boyca channeled raw intensity and hypnotic seduction: Scream_ unraveled in urgent vocals and tightly coiled percussion; The Necessary Substance simmered with eerie minimal tension and fragmented samples; and Deep Thxxxt_ delivered a direct, bass-heavy weapon built for smoke-filled basements. The subsequent Necessary Substance Remixes (September 2025) expanded the release into new territories, reaffirming Boyca as a distinct voice in contemporary techno—fierce, sensual, and unafraid to push boundaries. With a constant drive to reinvent and push further, Boyca continues to deliver raw and honest dancefloor superlatives anchored in a grinding and granular Hardgroove framework—club music as ritual, release, and transformation.Their RA profile lists Creaked Records, Mord and Gegen Records.Recently at Komplex Berlin, KREUZWERK, KitKatClub · often with Cristian Marras, Khloe, Shadysnack, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Also known as "The Dogfather," this Brittany-born artist journeyed from a small town in France to the heart of Berlin. Shaped by his background as a nurse and recognized as an iconic "face" of the Fetish scene, he slowly built his unique journey over the years as a model & performer and is now focusing on his artistic evolution as a DJ. His relationship with music began the moment he embraced his true self and learned to celebrate what makes him different. Many hours on the dancefloor, surrounded by diverse communities, taught him not only about others but also about himself. Those experiences became the foundation of a sound that is deeply emotional, authentic, and clearly his own. To him, Techno has always been more than entertainement, it's a sanctuary for the misfits, the rebels, the outsiders, and that's why he wants to preserve that spirit and bring the culture back to its roots. Music is a way to spread important messages, fight hate and heal people. His mission is to bring communities together by sharing deep emotions through music to educate people and uplift the Fetish community, while helping to protect & build safe spaces where everyone can express themselves freely.

the whole biography
David discovered electronic music when it first appeared in France and after a few years playing drums as a teenager he got interested in synthetic music and its darkest side: hardcore. He soon bought his first vinyls and decks and started devoting all of his free time to his passion, while studying the art of French food and wine in Lyon. Throughout the 90’s he organized a number of rave parties which Lyon and St Etienne party-goers will never forget. The sets of this fine technician are a unique adventure, they’re a tripthat takes you somewhere between deep bass acid techno. His latest ep on A-Traction records is being played by SLAM, Richie Haxtin, Carl Graig, Marco Carola and many more.Their RA profile lists A-TRACTION records and Carbone Records.“Max Shen, the co-founder of Potent Club, who lives in Shanghai, has been transforming and linking with DJ, club managers and party planners all the year round.”

the whole biography
Max Shen, the co-founder of Potent Club, who lives in Shanghai, has been transforming and linking with DJ, club managers and party planners all the year round. Max, who has been increasingly penetrating into the field of the electronic music since the millennium, has undoubtedly played a crucial role in promoting the current situation of China's electronic music and club scenes. As an electronic musician, Max Shen's techno music is surging along the Bass Line of Ebm Industrial Acid rave.At the same time, he can control the precise and regular rhythm of geometry, or the vigorous and impetuous rhythm of pounding, both of which are constantly extending to the deep place, and explore the overlapping expression of the fluctuating unknown rationality and sensibility, logic, emotion and methodology in the deep consciousness.From the original Dub Deep Techno, it has gradually changed, showing its awareness of the world society today: "Suffocation, struggle, edge, exist, asphyxia,wandering, destruction."“The Parisian Techno scene has a vast number of players, but none growing exponentially like DJ & producer Nymed.”
their own biography
the whole biography
The Parisian Techno scene has a vast number of players, but none growing exponentially like DJ & producer Nymed. Growing up in the seaside town of Dunkirk in Northern France, the artist’s proximity to the Belgian border fueled his love affair for electronic music. He began his own party series, "Conceptual Violence," in bunkers on the Flemish Coast after becoming properly acquainted with the Belgian and Dutch club realms across the border. The concept was simple - to reappropriate & transform a former historical warzone into a place of celebration, joy, & love. What initially began as a party series evolved into a podcast, showcasing a wide selection of Techno artists from all over the world. Prior to the 2020 pandemic, Nymed relocated to Paris and began producing music and honing in on his DJ craft becoming a pillar of this scene. He launched a new event concept, Toyz, in 2021 as a move to revitalize and fill a growing demand for safe party spaces for other like minded, sexually liberated queer ravers. Nymed’s sound is characterized by a love for old school 90’s techno, with a no frills approach to mixing that sets him apart from his FX laden contemporaries. This revivalist sound has made him an in-demand artist locally at iconic French queer events like Spectrum & Myst, as well as Paragon Broadway or Berghain. Fluctuating between hypnotic and sensual, his music production work channels his DJing philosophy while incorporating trippy melodies and sexually charged rhythms. A chance meeting with fellow artist and label manager False Witness led to a friendship where a mutual respect for each other's creative visions were forged, leading up to Nymed’s debut EP, ‘Vassau’ on E-Missions Recordings in 2023.Their RA profile lists E-Missions, DESSERT and Philoxenia.Recently at KREUZWERK, OXI

the whole biography
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 RSO.BERLIN, Else, OST · often with AMORAL, Concrete Husband, ADAM MUNNINGS, none of them here that night

the whole biography
(This biographical text was updated in November 2019.) Daniel Wang - the DJ for people who love to dance - and for everyone who loves music for music's sake. Daniel was born in Oakland, California, but spent 8 years of his childhood in Taipei; went to university near New York, and was deeply moved by the house music and the "disco classics" which he heard in the early 1990s at parties with DJs like Tee Scott, Francois Kevorkian, and Danny Krivit. He ended up living in downtown Manhattan from 1994 to 2003 and worked for 5 years at a synthesizer shop there, a job which became a sort of apprenticeship in all things related to the music which he loves. After releasing about ten vinyl 12"s on his own Balihu label, he put to use his newfound knowledge and produced 3 solid EPs for the Environ label of his dear friend Morgan Geist (aka Metro Area & Storm Queen). From that point on, in year 2001, Daniel began to travel and perform much more in Europe and in Japan. He moved to Berlin in 2003, which offered him new chances to learn and to perform for diverse audiences, from the welcoming queer crowds at Horse Meat Disco to festivals in London and Paris, at intimate venues from Tokyo to Helsinki, from Dublin to São Paulo. His DJ sets are well-known for their energetic blend of disco, soul, and old and new house tracks - but most of all for their sheer sense of joy and musicality, and their negation of all that is monotonous and mechanical in the so-called Electronic Dance Music scene of today. Around 2015, Daniel released two personal mix CDs in Japan featuring the back catalogs of New York's definitive disco labels, West End and Salsoul Records. He installed new software and monitor speakers in 2017, completed 2 remixes for the artists Wolfgang Tillmans and Cerrone, and just put out a new 12" under the moniker "S.D.A.P (Some Drums And Pianos)" in late summer of 2019. But most of all, Daniel remains enchanted by the people, the streets, and the nightclubs of Berlin. He can be heard regularly at Schwuz, Wilde Renate, and at his monthly residence at the Paloma Bar in Kreuzberg. Stay tuned to see what comes out of his studio after this long period of nesting and soul-searching in the ultra-hip, ultra-banal, mythical capital city of Germania :-)Their RA profile lists Playhouse, Environ Records, Ghostly International, Balihu and 2 more.Recently at Kater, Refuge Worldwide / Niemetzstraße, Renate · often with Disco Gessner, Clark Kent, Paul Older, none of them here that night

“ENNIO is a Berlin-based artist who operates at the edges of genre and identity.”
their own biography
the whole biography
ENNIO is a Berlin-based artist who operates at the edges of genre and identity. Raised in Germany with Asian and Slavic roots, he developed his sound outside fixed roles and definitions. His music comes from that in-between space where identity is shaped by experience rather than tradition. Raw, rhythmic and built to move, with a signature bounce that needs no explanation. His breakout EP »Scacotteter« (TILT) introduced him as a distinctive voice in the global club landscape. Its standout track, »Gunung Padang«, merges Indonesian influences with Slavic vocal cuts and helped the release gain wide recognition among some of the scene’s most influential selectors. His follow-up single »Don’t Stop (Gimme More)« expanded that energy even further — playful and unapologetic, built around a cheeky vocal hook and the distinctive ENNIO bounce that became a crowd favourite. 2024 saw him contribute »Blok M« to A7A Records’ Lunar New Year Compilation, a project celebrating artists from across the Asian diaspora. That same year, »Bloody Beetroots« (TILT) arrived — driving yet fluid, a gritty track built for peak-time energy. 2025 began with »Chim Lạc Dan, Garuda!«, a collaboration with close friend and TILT ally HAMY, on A7A’s Year of the Snake edition. The track channels their Vietnamese and Indonesian backgrounds into a statement of visibility for Asian voices within club culture. Around the same time, he brought his sound to Berlin Fashion Week, teaming up with Sia Arnika and Lou De Bétoly. He was recently named “Artists Exciting Us In 2025” by Mixmag Asia. Beyond the studio, he is part of TILT, and co-founded his new platform BUTO BAYANG with HAMY in late 2025. The platform was featured in Mixmag Netherlands and Mixmag Germany, which explored the concept behind BUTO BAYANG and its vision for the future. In addition to hosting their club nights in Bali and Berlin, the platform curated a compilation bringing together artists from across Asia and the Asian diaspora worldwide, including his own track "Crave U". His DJ sets? Unpredictable, playful, and deeply instinctual. Like his identity, they resist singular narratives, drawing from a wide range of influences and ideas, yet always forming something distinctly his own. Blurring lines between genres and creating unexpected shifts in mood and intensity, he is known to enter into an almost symbiotic relationship with his crowd. From Säule (Berghain) and Radion to Faust, FVTVR, RSO, Macadam, and events such as Herrensauna and Musa, ENNIO’s sound continues to resonate across some of the world’s most forward-thinking club spaces.Their RA profile lists Defected Records, Patron Records, A7A and TILT.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Else, Phantom Bar Berlin · often with HAMY, Laure Croft, N.R.M, none of them here that night
