Who they are

  • Lawrence

    Hamburg · 9 bookings since Feb 2026

    “He also releases more techno-oriented under the name Sten.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    He also releases more techno-oriented under the name Sten. Lawrence also has two other lesser known projects, Lloyd (abstract hip hop) and an ambient guitar project called Bordeaux. As Lawrence, Kersten has released three deep and melacholic longplayers. First turned onto techno by the original wave of acid house, by 1997 Kersten began producing his own music. "The different projects stand somehow close to another," he says. "Sten is the more minimal and straight part of me, strictly influenced by the part of my life on the dancefloor.” However, Lawrence is the project which has been catching the most attention. The first eponymous 'Lawrence' album (Ladomat, 2002) was a mixture of house, minimal techno and experimental pieces, while the second one, 'The Absence of Blight' (Dial, 2003) had a straighter touch. Latest album is the 'The Night Will Last Forever' (Novamute, 2005). Lawrence also DJs, with a residency at The Golden Pudel or Click in Hamburg. He has also remixed the likes of Martin Gore, Goldfrapp, Turner and Superpitcher.

  • Konduku

    Amsterdam, Netherlands · 13 bookings since Aug 2025

    “The Konduku back catalogue runs from ambient to broken beat electronica, but a techno sensibility remains at the core of all his work.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    The Konduku back catalogue runs from ambient to broken beat electronica, but a techno sensibility remains at the core of all his work. Albums on Nous'klaer Audio and Delsin Mantis afford plenty of space to take in the full scope of his sound, while singles for labels like Bitta, Spazio Disponibile and amenthia have all confirmed his influence as a producer testing out new possibilities for immersive dance music. At the same time, Konduku's DJing channels the vast, atmospheric quality of his own music into a more direct, floor-focused approach that orbits around constant, understated pressure. It's a clear-sighted, intentional flipside to the productions he's so well known for, perfected since his early days as a De School resident and successfully delivered across the club and festival landscape with a full-bodied commitment to physical and mental movement.
    Their RA profile lists Delsin, Idle Hands, Bitta, Nous'klaer Audio and 6 more.

  • Sibel

    Stuttgart

    “Ignited by her passion for electronic music and her early experiences in the Berlin nightlife scene, Sibel started DJing in 2018.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Ignited by her passion for electronic music and her early experiences in the Berlin nightlife scene, Sibel started DJing in 2018. Quite quickly she swapped the dance floor for the DJ booth and began to perform at local clubs and bars in her hometown Stuttgart: Lehmann Club, Fridas Pier, White Noise – just to name a few. Soon Sibel started playing regularly at Romantica, where she found her base and landed a permanent residency. Sibel’s sound is a mix of strong, driving drums, signed by an assortment of spacey, futuristic, hypnotic accents. At the same time, she stays true to her clean and minimalistic line. Sibel always offers an intense, energetic and unpredictable journey to her audience, with a fresh and strong track selection. Sibel draws inspiration from a multitude of music genres and likes to contrast the old with the new. The genres she is playing are multi-faceted, characterized by variety, reflecting the emotions of the audience and ranging from Techno to Minimal to Acid House. Sibel’s unique sound has taken her beyond Stuttgart’s borders – she has played at renowned venues such as Berlin’s legendary Watergate and the iconic Robert Johnson in Offenbach. Sibel has also been recently featured in several radio shows and livestreams, including HÖR Berlin, Downtown Tulum Radio, Radio 80000, RES.RADIO and United We Stream.
