    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Chlär holds this perpetual need to learn and improve, convinced of the fundamental relationships humans share with the groove. His productions and performances are attempts to awaken the tribal and primitive instinct that sleeps in each of us. His sets are direct crowd-galvanizers with technical and forward-thinking blends of grooves featuring loops of his own production. Always improvising through relentless 3-4 decks actions, his context sensitive approach to performances is fuelled by an highly effective audience reading which will guarantee an electrifying moment, no matter the set time and duration. He is also a former mastering engineer working with renowned labels such as Taapion, RAW or Ritmo Fatale and co-runs Bipolar Disorder Rec. Chlär is sharpening his musical senses and abilities on many sides of the industry, by being an artist and engineer but also working in A&R and Event Management, which recently led him to be the ‘’Raver’s Choice’’ from the Raving Spoon awards.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    JKS translates a decade of drumming experience into a magnetic exploration of rhythm, weight, and movement, a journey through the sounds that shaped him long before ever touching an electronic drum machine. Rooted in techno, his music is percussive, hypnotic, and textured, with driving sexy grooves, evolving layers, and a raw, physical energy that feels both fierce and deeply seductive. JKS skillfully navigates between chaos and control, drawing from UK bass, 140, broken techno, and many other influences with effortless precision. An active force in the underground for over ten years, JKS first emerged as a founding member of Molekül, later forging his own path with the creation of Smile Sessions in 2020. The label has now grown into a space for new talent, helping emerging artists find their voice while staying true to the spirit of the scene.
    Their RA profile lists OAKS, Molekül, Involve Records and Agora Records.

    the whole biography
    Connor Wall blends a contemporary vision with the foundational elements at the core of techno. A practice that is both personally fulfilling and deeply expressive for himself, while remaining captivating and innovative for the listener. His work reflects a deep sense of maturity and exploration, delving into imaginative worlds and sonic narratives. Wall has curated a distinct palette defined by richly textured soundscapes and signature low-ends, bound by dystopian and melancholic tones that draw the listener into a space of emotional depth. Understanding the interplay between the physical and the imaginative world has become a central form of play and expression for Connor. Through both his productions and his sets, he values the shared experience that connects artist, audience, and scene, a dynamic exchange that continues to shape his evolving sound. Wall’s music balances organic fluidity with meticulous precision, crafted for maximum impact on the dancefloor. His pulsing, immersive tracks have found homes on respected labels such as Moving Pressure, Phorum, Treatment, and WSNWG.

  • THC

    Bogotá, Colombia · 16 bookings since Aug 2025

    “THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way. High-energy without a loss of soul, hard-hitting and still very playful and very gay. We are reminded that techno need not be a gloomy, rumbling march, and that house has a whole range of attitudes at the same time ruthless and smiling. She blazes, to put it simply. ​Having heated Berlin dancefloors and airwaves for a few years, THC is one of the founders and resident at La Noche. She has her own show HOT BOX on Rinse FM, and has released mixes via Crack Magazine, DJ Mag, Fact Mag and NTS. The last year has also seen her playing alongside her sibling DHC as the duo unit S-candalo. Regardless of format, there are always those THC-signatures: punch; euphoria; and streaks of vocal samples intoning the classic dancefloor theme of unity, be it political, sexual, spiritual or some sweaty mixture of it all.
