Who they are
“Not your typical techno/house act, Branko and Niklas, alias Hidden Empire, have established a sound signature at once abstract and alluringly dynamic over the years, gathering momentum through a handful of quality releases for an array of international labels.”

Not your typical techno/house act, Branko and Niklas, alias Hidden Empire, have established a sound signature at once abstract and alluringly dynamic over the years, gathering momentum through a handful of quality releases for an array of international labels. Since the drop of their first records back in 2015, Branko and Niklas have been championing a sound both genuinely turned towards the club while allowing themselves to explore into further adventurous territories – from dreamy, cosmic excursions to a versatile arsenal of foundation-shaking EBM cuts, via exotic detours and back to the classic, floor-focused programming that flows through all of their ambitious, stadium-sized output. The pair’s wide-screen vision shows Branko and Niklas’ impeccable sense for crafting sonics that far surpass mere DJ functionality to print into the listener’s mind durably.Their RA profile lists Stil vor Talent, Truesoul, Suara, Filth on Acid and 1 more.Last at Ritter Butzke in Jun · often with Oliver Koletzki, Kotoe, Frida Darko, none of them here that night
“Some years ago and driven by inspiration Annett Gapstream started expanding her music project from home and closest friends to clubs, festivals and a whole bunch of like-minded people.”

the whole biography
Some years ago and driven by inspiration Annett Gapstream started expanding her music project from home and closest friends to clubs, festivals and a whole bunch of like-minded people. It’s Techno – at least somehow. Colorful dark day techno probably describes her sound best. She enjoys life between playing and producing music. After starting releasing tracks in 2018 her latest tales can be found on labels like Rebellion der Träumer, Stil vor Talent and Nown Music. Annett Gapstream does things that feel good right now without trying to already rack her brain during the first track too hard about the last one that might or might not follow. Journeys can change and so do her sets. This is also what identifies most in her productions and collaborations with others – definitely electronic music, mostly straight but always open-minded for powerful twists now and then. So, yes, for sure - there was that dreamy and almost cheesy sunrise moment in the last festival season...Their RA profile lists Stil vor Talent, Artminding and Black Rose Recordings.Recently at Treptower Park, Ritter Butzke, Cassiopeia · often with Frida Darko, Kotoe, Sven Dohse, none of them here that night
“Cioz has always had a bad relationship with rules.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Cioz has always had a bad relationship with rules. An obsessive desire to reinvent and break everything: ideas, habits and shapes. Driven and inspired by the idea of sharing knowledge and inspiration, Cioz has founded Knobs Bergamo; a community-based creative hub in Bergamo (Italy) where artists unite, collaborate, develop ideas and create. Completely self-taught, he feels his music like smoothly random and organic: alive. He sees his music like a creature that grows and evolves by his side. It contradicts itself and gets always better. A continuous experiment, a tree of sounds. His motto is: "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.” George Bernard Shaw Artists that inspires him are: David August, Super Flu, Rodriguez Jr., James Holden, Stephan Bodzin, Tipper, Stimming, Acid Pauli... His works are supported from great artists like Super Flu, Andhim, Solomun, Einmusik, Bebetta, Atish, and many more…Their RA profile lists Renaissance, Crosstown Rebels, Get Physical Music, Stil vor Talent and 6 more.Recently at Stil vor Talent Headquarter, Ritter Butzke, Kater · often with Madmotormiquel, Oliver Koletzki, Kotoe, none of them here that night
