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 KitKatClub, Komplex Berlin, KREUZWERK · often with Mar/us, Khloe, Shadysnack, none of them here on Friday

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.

I'm Juan, a musician who’s equally obsessed with classical music and electronic beats. There’s just something about how techno plays with rhythm and harmony that pulls me in like nothing else. I feel most alive when I’m outside my usual concert venues, especially when I play in Berlin’s underground techno clubs. Those spaces really trigger my creativity.Recently at ://about blank, LILIUM, KitKatClub
“The enigmatic Schacke defies categorization.”
their own biography
the whole biography
The enigmatic Schacke defies categorization. Half Danish, half South Korean, they have been crafting music since their early teens, traversing genres and instruments with fearless curiosity. Starting with drums and emerging from roots in Metal, Noise, and Industrial, Schacke’s journey has been one of constant evolution, building a sonic universe that feels both deeply personal and boundlessly exploratory. After moving to Copenhagen in 2013, Schacke quickly became a central figure in the city’s underground music scene. They co-ran the Mayhem venue, a hub for experimental sounds and radical ideas, while also founding a DIY label for noise and industrial music. In 2015, Schacke joined the founding ranks of the Fast Forward collective, born out of a desire to create space for a new wave of young artists who were often overlooked by the city’s established techno scene. What began as a series of self-organized parties quickly grew into a movement that redefined Copenhagen nightlife, championing inclusivity, high-energy music, and a DIY ethos. The collective’s fresh approach and innovative sound became the foundation of what is now known as the “Copenhagen Techno Sound”, a bold and uncompromising take on electronic music that challenged the conventions of its time. Schacke’s discography spans a range of acclaimed releases on influential labels such as Kulør, ONES and ZEROS, Mama Told Ya, KAOS, Instruments of Discipline, and Intrepid Skin. In 2022, Schacke launched Sacred Interface, a label dedicated to pushing the boundaries of techno and trance while supporting their local friends and peers. Beyond the studio, they are a resident DJ, event organizer, podcast runner for the iconic queer sex parties of Bedside Productions, a space where their ethos of inclusivity and boundary-pushing expression thrives. In 2024, they also became resident DJ for the Korgy Party in Helsinki. Schacke’s artistic philosophy is rooted in contrast and duality. Their music, at once hard-hitting and tender, accessible and avant-garde, reflects an intricate balance of light and shadow, embracing both the delicate and the dark. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of genres, they use techno as a framework to create genre-defying fusions, weaving together hypnotic rhythms, euphoric melodies, and evocative textures. This ever-evolving soundscape ensures that Schacke’s work remains distinctly recognizable yet tantalizingly unpredictable. On the dancefloor, Schacke channels the raver they once were: taking mental notes at every party, translating those fleeting moments of euphoria and connection into their studio work. This intimate relationship with nightlife fuels their creativity, ensuring their music resonates deeply with listeners. A true artist in every sense, Schacke invites you where mystery challenges expectations, fluidity disrupts norms, and self-expression reigns without boundaries.Their RA profile lists dame-music, Aquaregia, Ectotherm, Interstate Records and 6 more.Recently at Fitzroy, Komplex Berlin, ÆDEN · often with Akua, LOVEFOXY, DJ AYA, none of them here on Friday
“Departing from yet informed by her classical upbringing, androgienia seeks to pry open the folds of musical experience - as a DJ, she draws from her solid dance floor experience to bring a defiant, high-intensity club sound, collaged with rhythmically persistent techno, attitude-infused bass and blissful experimental flows. androgienia’s practice resists fixed narratives - remixing references from the deep & obscure to the honestly relatable, invariably serving a peak-time clash.”

Like many kids in late 80s/early 90s Belgium, AAGUILAA was captivated by the swirling innovation of EBM and New Beat. But only after experiencing the full-body feeling of italo disco and hi-NRG played over proper soundsystems he matured his lifetime love for neon lights and for the darker, synthesized side of dance music. His playing style, focussed on building tension, blends elements of New Beat-inspired club music, 90s trippy hypnotism and uplifting power House for the bigger rooms. He’s resident and programmer of the long-running party Los Niños and co-founder of the legendary FFORMATT, a basement parking club in Brussels (killed by the pandemic). Today, he's launching a new party in Berlin called Walk The Night, together with Liad Krispin (Cocktail d’Amore). To be launched 20 Feb at Fitzroy.Last at Fitzroy in Apr

United by a shared passion for trancy rhythms and drum-driven 90s house, two dance floor divas came together to craft a sound that pulls you out of reality, if only for a moment. Their tagline, “FEUCHT&FURIOS,” perfectly captures the tongue-in-cheek energy they bring to the booth—both sincere and playful, their dance floor favours movement and fluidity over abstract complexity. With CHRANDY, they explore self-expression, fashion, and music as a way to discover their own interpretations of gender and identity. But their vision extends beyond the DJ booth. As founders of the queer party and collective FEUCHT, they create spaces where queer euphoria can take center stage.

From Petach Tiqva to Ft. Lauderdale to a carefully managed escape to NYC in 1988, Liad Krispin is by no means your typical “old-school” DJ. In 1997, with the support of a few close DJ friends, he launched Hamsa, a much-loved underground party. In 2008, Liad moved to Berlin where he spent the next 15 years cultivating his current sound & style. His musical taste spans over 4 decades and 3 continents to provide an eclectic-yet-always-evolving influence that is rooted in underground dance music and stretches from Disco to House to Techno and everything in between. Liad currently resides in Basel, and travels often to his previous hometown of Berlin to play as part of his longtime residence at the infamous Cocktail D'Amore party or simply to get his Berlin dancefloor fix.Recently at Fitzroy, AMT, KREUZWERK · often with Budino, Majdolen, Luigi Di Venere, none of them here on Friday

Emerging from Buenos Aires' underground house scene in the mid-2000s, Lucas Abadi’s regular sets at the legendary Pacha terrace marked the start of a journey that would take him to some of the city's most celebrated venues, including Mint Lounge, Cobra, and Opera Bay. He soon made his debut at Warung Beach Club in Camboriú, Brazil—a club hailed by DJ Mag as one of the world’s finest—sharing the stage with Danny Howells and Ashley Caselle. Following this, his sets were heard at D-Edge in São Paulo, the RBK Tops festival in Rio de Janeiro with Josh Wink and Behrouz, and Claro Subvisions in Porto Alegre, among many other notable spots in the region. Highlighted by Desyn Masiello as an emerging talent in DJ Mag, Lucas gradually became a fixture in Argentina’s scene. His talent caught the attention of Luke Fair, who later invited him to join Electraluxe Records as A&R. Fusing house, acid, techno, and breaky textures, Lucas shapes a style that’s deep and entrancing at times, with moments of intense energy. His move to Berlin marks the beginning of a new chapter in his unique musical exploration.Recently at AMT, KREUZWERK, KitKatClub · often with Luigi Di Venere, Esther Dune, none of them here on Friday
