Who they are
“Bézier is a ripple.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Bézier is a ripple. Bézier is a synth-organic proto-techno trip: an analog vision of club-floor futures, a journey of kinetic movement through embodied sound. You might know Robert Yang from Berlin, his home base since 2018, where you'll find him disseminating the electric catechism in places like Zur Klappe, a former subway toilet transformed into an underground nightclub. Or you might know him from his previous home, San Francisco, where he spent 14 years as a core member of the queer DJ collective Honey Soundsystem. Yang and the Honey crew threw a party every Sunday night for five years in a row—that's 260 parties, but who's counting?—and toured the globe, while running an eponymous record label that released music by Patrick Cowley, Octo Octa, Vin Sol, and beyond. Or you might know him simply as Bézier, the alias through which he's issued a dozen-plus records of livewire dance music crafted from rippled synths, crackling drums, and a songwriter's knack. Bézier's sound is the product of a lifelong obsession with electronic music. Experiments with MIDI on the family computer and DIY synth repair exposed Yang to synthesis at an early age. That led to a teenage obsession with Autechre and Björk, among others, and undergraduate courses in computer music. Finally came the accumulation of gear, vintage and modern, that powers Yang's sound design. Today, Bézier's tracks are tighter, more focused, and more dialed-in than ever. That's the result of the confidence Yang has earned as a producer and artist—the ability to pay attention to the things that matter and ignore what doesn't. These days, Bézier is back in the studio and at work on his own record label: Körperspannung, or K-SPAN for short. The phrase is German for "body tension"—a phrase Yang's partner Lennard, aka Len.Leo, would use to remind Yang to embody himself as an independent gay Asian musician, to stay strong, to be proud. That sums up the label's ethos: a celebration of creative electronic expression from within the gay community, and a home for music that steps outside the box and blurs the lines. After over 15 years in the game, that's Bézier's ethos, too.

the whole biography
As a passionate raver and longtime lover of electronic music, zikade only stepped behind the decks as a way to keep her mind sane during lockdown. With club doors closed, official gigs seemed a thought of the distant future, and zikade's very personal and emotional approach to DJing led her to quickly develop her own favourite sound. Inspired by her dedication to hard kicks and gloomy melodies, zikade travels between Dark Disco, Italo Body Music, and Techno, with occasional sparks of Electro, EBM, and Industrial appearing. Her sets always strive to be connected less by genre than by atmosphere —- dark but groovy, melancholic but sexy -- a sound best described as Neo Beat. Her love for the medium vinyl inspired zikade to further develop her sound, adding forgotten pre-techno-era tracks and rare vinyl only releases to her collection. zikade is part of the vinyl only projects DJ Frottée and Hypnotist, alongside DJ BONEY S. Regular at Mensch Meier and MS Treue, she has also played at Renate and ://about blank amongst others, as well as bringing her sound to club nights outside of Germany like Cyprus or Switzerland. zikade is a member of the female:pressure network and resident at SLIME and ROOT Radio.Recently at Renate, Crack Bellmer, Kater · often with Jimmie, ilbroccolovolante, Kidcat, none of them here that night

the whole biography
She has her own rhythm in music and in life -- before finally stepping behind the decks herself, DJ BONEY S already looked back on two decades of club culture experience. Passionately collecting vinyl from various different genres for years, she started out as a party organiser in her native Belgium. Her behind the scenes work continued after relocating to Germany where she was heavily involved in establishing the PARALLEL nights at Griessmühle as a fixture of Berlin nightlife. As a former booker and label head, DJ BONEY S developed her own unique taste that is first and foremost shaped by one timeless medium: VINYL. She draws from classic 90s sounds and queer techno, travelling to otherworldly electro or cold industrial beats. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes pouncing -- but always trippy -- her sets invite you to close your eyes. DJ BONEY S is a resident of SOUSAMI (Cyprus), female:pressure member and publishes the PRALL podcast series. She is also one half of DJ Frottée and Hypnotist, both together with zikade. She was a core member for 3 years of the Berlin based queer collective SLIME.Their RA profile lists Parallel Berlin.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Kater, Cake · often with ACID BOGEN, HOPPER, Qualia Trax, none of them here that night
