“While many DJs approach genre adventurously, few are as expansive and unique as CCL.”

the whole biography
While many DJs approach genre adventurously, few are as expansive and unique as CCL. With an incisive, technical and creative approach to mixing, and a ravenous appetite for music of all kinds, they can unite the unimaginable with a uniquely adaptable sense of dancefloor intuition. Drawing from experiences as a talent buyer, DIY festival organizer, and record collector with roots in Bristol and the DIY scenes of North America, CCL’s perspective draws from an affinity for fluidity and liminality – they weave together distinct narratives that open rhythmic wormholes between geographical regions, eras, and all genres and tempos. From their acclaimed club and festival sets, mixtapes, their liquidtime series, and their residency at Berlin institution Ohm, they showcase their unique take on sonic storytelling and otherworldly dancefloor intuition, uniting dance floors and chatrooms around the world. “A music nerd's DJ but also a DJ’s DJ”- Resident Advisor’s “Art of DJing”.Their RA profile lists 3024, Allergy Season, Fever AM, Planet Euphorique and 1 more.Recently at OXI, Schönwalde-Glien, Grünefeld bei Berlin, Germany, RSO.BERLIN · often with Nono Gigsta, Roza Terenzi, Naone, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Born in 1980 in Montevideo, Uruguay, and currently based in Mallorca, Nicolas Lutz has forged a solid identity, wrapped in a carefully sustained aura of mystery and shaped through thousands of hours of obsessive research, digging deep into the darkest corners of underground electronic music. Far from noise and unnecessary exposure, his figure has been built through intuition, deep exploration, and a ritualistic relationship with music, where each record functions as a tool for profound personal work that translates into a powerful impact on the dancefloor. Today, with nearly three decades behind the decks and a collection marked by an inexplicable DNA, he has established himself as a cult selector — a romantic of darkness and a creator of hypnotic atmospheres capable of transforming the energy of any space. His sets carry a free-flowing poetry that is felt from the very first moment: a journey moving from darkness into light, shedding masks and allowing his emotional state to surface through sound. He plays only what he truly knows and loves, losing track of time as hours turn into entire nights where genre becomes irrelevant [techno, electro, house, breakbeat, IDM, ambient or new wave], all secondary to something more honest and mysterious. Nico lets the records almost choose themselves, guided by instinct, weaving together deep and powerful frequencies capable of transforming those open to the moment. Even for him, the outcome is never fully predictable — and that’s where part of the magic lies. This intense relationship with music is grounded in impeccable technique. Thousands of hours of practice, a deep understanding of the structure and energy of each record, and absolute control of EQ grant him total freedom when mixing. The result is improbable combinations, unique transitions, and moments that feel guided by something beyond rational thought. In 2014, he founded My Own Jupiter, a label that quickly became a key underground reference and a fundamental platform for projecting the Uruguayan sound internationally, creating deep connections between artists. After a decade of intense work, the project closed its cycle, leaving behind a solid catalogue and a community that continues to orbit around that experience.Last at Berghain in Jul · often with Orr Prince, C3D-E, none of them here that night
“Objekt is TJ Hertz, a producer and DJ living in Berlin.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Objekt is TJ Hertz, a producer and DJ living in Berlin. Born in Tokyo to British-American and Filipino parents, Hertz grew up in Belgium and the UK before settling in Berlin in 2009. He first became known for head-turning club records, beginning with the self-released stamped whitelabel 12”s Objekt #1 and #2 in 2011, and following these up with a remix for Radiohead and releases on influential dance music labels such as Hessle Audio. Shocking out to the disassembled dubstep contortions of "Cactus" and “Unglued”, the juddering mindmelt of "Agnes Demise", or IDM headturner “Ganzfeld” became a familiar experience for a generation of clubgoers. Hertz’s club output quickly garnered support from the likes of Aphex Twin and Autechre, and his early successes led to a split EP on Leisure System with Drexciyan electro pioneers Dopplereffekt. (The track in question, “Ganzfeld”, was picked as RA’s #1 track of 2014). The whitelabel Objekt #4, released in 2017, delivered a huge crossover hit in the form of breakbeat house anthem “Theme From Q”. Objekt #5, released in 2022, is his slowest – and perhaps fiercest – 12” to date, exploring dancehall rhythms and sonics with his trademark originality. Meanwhile, Hertz’s albums Flatland (2014) and Cocoon Crush (2018), both released on PAN, delve deep into complex sonic worlds. Hertz approaches the LP format as a canvas on which to paint unique, hyper-detailed works of electronic music which are rich with imagination and surprises. Both albums featured widely on year-end lists, with Pitchfork describing Cocoon Crush as containing “some of the most meticulously arranged compositions that dance music has ever produced”. In 2019, Objekt followed Cocoon Crush with a full-spectrum live A/V show in collaboration with visual artist Ezra Miller, touring a string of key festivals including Unsound, Atonal and Primavera. In parallel, Objekt has built a reputation as one of the must-see DJs of his generation. Selected as Mixmag’s DJ of the Year in 2018, he thrives in festival tents and sweatbox basements alike. His DJing style is equal parts wild and laser-focused, making full use of technique and technology to surprise and entertain, while paying little heed to genre or BPM and feeding off spontaneity and crowd connection. Hertz’s DJing is also unpredictable: one night he might duck and dive through half a dozen genres in pursuit of an unhinged party atmosphere (especially if he’s playing b2b with his dear friend and partner in crime, Call Super). Another night he might guide you by the hand through a terrifying psychedelic wormhole of self-discovery. It’s these qualities that make his recorded sets so beloved – from his 2020 Essential Mix, to the widely-shared recording of his 8-hour set at New York clubbing institution Nowadays in 2021, to his 2016 mix CD for Berlin techno institution Tresor, Kern Vol. 3, which was described by Resident Advisor as “a window into the very essence of DJing”. Hertz's creative activities are unified by his quality control (his output is sporadic, but painstakingly detailed and never less than outstanding) and his agnostic approach to genre (he cuts across traditional divides in both his productions and his DJ sets). His work is informed by a highly technical background: alongside his practice as a producer and DJ he continues to work part-time as an engineer for music software company Native Instruments, where he develops audio and machine learning algorithms as well as instruments and FX. He gave a lecture to the Red Bull Music Academy in 2018.Their RA profile lists Tresor, Hessle Audio, Leisure System, Objekt and 2 more.Recently at C115, Tresor / Globus, Pastiche · often with deep creep, fleet.dreams, Bambi, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Berlin based artists with Polish roots, Leona Jacewska (formerly known as Charlie) is a prodigy of contemporary synthwave, influenced by EBM, electro and early 80's italo. Her live acts key on hardware - including Cirklon Sequencer, Pearl Syncussion and OB6 - but they also make expert use of coldwave-reminiscent vocals. Her solo output was shaped by the exposure to diverse strands of music, facilitated by her formal piano education, deep engagement with the electronic music scene in Central Europe, long-standing DJ career and the organisation of SZUM parties in Kraków (PL) and Berlin (DE). With her extensive experience as a musician and curator, she has participated in multiple programs oriented at peer- to-peer exchange, mentorship and advocacy, including the Music Moves Europe- funded initiative Venues from the Future, Sonar+D, and Initiative Musik. She has issued two EPs, Cold Inside (Ferry Lane Records 2022) and Spacewoman (Wrong Era 2024) being remixed by David Vunk and italo legend Flemming Dalum. She presented her live acts at renowned festivals such as Unsound (PL), Transmusicales (FR), Fusion (DE) and Noche de Primavera (MX), Tauron (PL) and clubs like Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE) or Closer (UA).
