Amelia Holt, is one of Brooklyn’s most distinctive, interesting selectors With a unique approach to rhythm, Holt crafts DJ sets which fuse percussive rhythms with electronic beats, transforming any dancefloor into a culture-bending, otherworldly experience. One may hear her play broken beats, deep high octane, fine and elegant dance, alt techno, sharp electro, and delusional krautrock – sometimes all in the same night. Amelia holds a residency at The Lot Radio and has played in the best of NYC’s venues including Good Room, Nowadays & Bossa Nova Civic Club & festivals, Sustain-Release & Dripping. Outside the US, she’s brought her sound to Mexico City, Berlin, Munich, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Madrid and many more. In addition to her radio endeavors, Amelia curates the music newsletter In Your Dirty Ears and runs the party series Honey Trap.Released on Klan (1) and My Music (1). labels on their catalogued releasesRecently at Renate, Kwia, Sameheads · often with Second Contact, Seth Magoon, 98dots, none of them here on Friday

their own biography
the whole biography
The Berlin-based Italian goes further than your average “crate digger” in pursuit of information about sounds, styles, artists and record labels, devoting countless hours to unearthing the untold stories behind the music he loves, regardless of when it was made. Adriani’s obsession has naturally shaped his other musical endeavors, not least Mannequin Records, the label he established over than a decade ago, voted label of the month by Resident Advisor in 2017. Over the years, the imprint has won praise from buyers and critics alike for its open-minded blend of on-point reissues, archival collections and fresh productions. The intriguing, leftfield mixture of material on offer – think techno, electro, cold wave, industrial, EBM, minimal synth, and more – is naturally a reflection of Adriani’s wide-ranging and off-kilter tastes (as you’d discover if you had a quick flick through his vast and growing record collection). Adriani is distinctively drawn towards the dark and obscure, and you can hear this approach amongst the long, drawn-out mixes of his similarly eclectic DJ sets. Alessandro has contributed outstanding mixes for Resident Advisor, FACT, Crack Magazine, Bleep, Cxema and Dekmantel. On the festival circuit he’s made appearances at Berghain, Tresor, Atonal, Boiler Room, Dekmantel, ADE, Dimensions, Neopop, Positive Education, Signal and more, together with his bi-monthly dates at Berghain and Panorama Bar, a residency he’s held from 2016 to 2020. As a producer, Adriani’s output naturally draws on these inspirations, but also reflects his obsession with electronic hardware. Under his own name Adriani has built a reputation for delivering heavy, angular and forthright club cuts for such celebrated labels as L.I.E.S. Records, Stroboscopic Artefacts, Jealous God, Pinkman and - of course - Mannequin Records.Their RA profile lists Stroboscopic Artefacts, L.I.E.S., Mannequin, Pinkman and 4 more.Recently at Sameheads, Tresor / Globus, RSO.BERLIN · often with Tasha Safari, none of them here on Friday

His sound tends to oscillate between psychedelic trips, experimental disco and voodoo percussion, exploring the slowed-down heartbeat of danceable music. He had a rendez-vous with Mexico City’s lunatic music scene while living there for some years, co-running the label “Nuevos Ricos” and starting to DJ in shady neighbourhood street parties and art happenings inside jammed subway stations. Listening to André Pahl’s sets is like being compelled to push yourself inside a forest even though you know it'll be dangerous — head first, then the whole body, submerged deep into a strange jungle world, partly solid, partly made of shimmering liquids.Recently at Sameheads, Loft 6, O Tannenbaum · often with Alexander Arpeggio, none of them here on Friday

“Artist, producer and DJ Hugo Capablanca likes to call himself an “eternal dilettante”, for a reason.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Artist, producer and DJ Hugo Capablanca likes to call himself an “eternal dilettante”, for a reason. A rebel, an outsider, but also a mainstay of the Berlin underground for well over a decade —now relocated to Lisbon— Hugo has been recently described by RA as an “underground music hero playing by his own cosmic rules”, and there might be quite some truth to that. Over the years Capablanca has extensively toured worldwide, graced the most revered DJ booths (from Panorama bar in Berlin to Bassiani in Tbilisi, Vent in Tokyo, or Public Records in NY), and shared stage with legends like DJ Harvey, Tom Of England, Andrew Weatherall, and Optimo, to name a few, yet his name remains somehow a bit of an IYKYK thing. His DJ sets, studio productions and live performances —be it under his own name or together with Marc Piñol as C.P.I.—reflect a very distinctive psychedelic energy, fusing rather diverse sonic styles and genres that generate surprising dynamics. This frontal rejection of stylistic reductionism is also perfectly reflected in Ediciones & Discos Capablanca, the record labels he’s been curating for over 15 years.Their RA profile lists Gomma, Astrolab Recordings, Cómeme, Hivern Discs and 6 more.Recently at arkaoda Berlin
“Cosmo Vitelli hasn’t slept since 1973.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Cosmo Vitelli hasn’t slept since 1973. Instead, he’s replaced slumber with the tireless exploration of dance music, sharing his finds as an accomplished DJ and label manager but also as an esteemed producer, with heaps of records, remixes and edits under his belt. After spending his childhood between West Africa and Central France, a young Cosmo Vitelli moves to Paris in the early 90s. More indie kid than clubber, closer to rock, post-punk, and krautrock than techno, he plays guitar in various rock bands until he figures out he’s having more fun fiddling with a 4-track recorder and a sampler than with guitars. He releases his first in 1998 on Etienne de Crécy’s Solid, followed by a string of EPs and remixes that are now part of the DNA of this golden era for French electronic music, notably his album Clean which Virgin releases in 2003. After a stint in the ruthless world of majors, Cosmo Vitelli creates I’m a Cliché in 2004. His fiercely independent label stands out to this day in the underground electronic music landscape for its uncompromising approach, simultaneously paying tribute to venerable figures and taking risks by exploring music from the margins, with a distinctive knack for finding talented artists before they break through (such as Simian Mobile Disco, Azari & III, Moscoman and Red Axes). In parallel, he’s rekindled his love for guitars and pop music with Bot’Ox, Vitelli’s side-project with Julien Briffaz of Tekel. They released EPs on labels such as DFA and DC Recordings, LPs on I’m a Cliché and toured extensively, even scoring a gig at L’Olympia in Paris. Currently based in Berlin where he’s relocated his studio, Cosmo is back to releasing music under his own name. He’s already released two EPs on I’m a Cliché and an LP of edits and reworks, as part of the Edit Service series. When he is not in the studio or travelling for gigs, he curates No Weapon Is Absolute along with DJ Sundae for a monthly show on London’s NTS radio. 2019 is set to be a busy year for him, with an LP for Malka Tuti to be released in two parts, one in Spring and the other in Fall, along with an EP on Ivan Smagghe’s Les Disques De La Mort in September and a new release in the Edits Service series also in the works.House on 56, Electro on 39, Techno on 18 and Leftfield on 11. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Dischi Autunno (1) and I'm A Cliché (1); their RA profile also lists Astralwerks, Kompakt, DFA Records, DC Recordings and 5 more. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at RSO.BERLIN, Renate, ciao ciao Bar

Sourced from Latin American basements or snatched from Europe's most suburban warehouses, many of the records from Diamin's collection didn't yet get a proper chance to react with dancefloors. She trades in unrealized, potent dreams and highly reactive substances trapped in vinyl. Her interest in biology turns this experience into something organic & communal, a sort of world-building in real time, where every record is treated with curiosity and care – & it seems to work for dancers and radio shows alike. It's akin to a springboard that Diamin uses to bounce off in different, adjustable directions. Serviervorschlag: queer-coded new wave acts, highly ambitious IDM, encyclopedic psychedelia, usually topped with acid of the deeper, unforgiving kind. Though based on friction between those ingredients, no matter what style you come from, there's room for you to dance and to grow. Diamin has played at venues like Berghain, Bassiani, Tresor, De School, Rex, C12, RSO, among others, and has been featured on platforms such as Boiler Room, NTS Radio, Dekmantel Show x Red Light Radio, Groove Mag, The Ransom Note, Crack Magazine, Inverted Audio, and more. Currently, she is a resident at Mutant Radio (Tbilisi), where she hosts a bi-monthly show. Diamin also occasionally collaborates with queer/LGBTQ+ collectives like Maricas (Barcelona), PLU (Bristol), and Lacura (La Plata). In addition to her personal project, Diamin co-directs a vinyl label called Tecnologías Elementales, which is set to release its third record this year with distribution by One Eye Witness.Recently at KREUZWERK, arkaoda Berlin, RSO.BERLIN · often with Vlada, Sean Gates, C3D-E, none of them here on Friday

Menqui is a berlin based music enthusiast always on the hunt for musical treasures ranging from obscure disco over synth pop, wave, proto house and many other fields. Besides sharing his music from behind the decks he has also been involved in a variety of different projects – f.e. by taking care of the newly established R-i-O Label or by contributing a track to the new Serious Trouble EP as Dolphins togehter with Nadia D'Alò and Benedikt Frey. While Menqui’s mixtapes mostly invite you to float and dream away, he also feels at home in a more dancefloor oriented environment.Their RA profile lists Planet Almanac and R.i.O..Recently at Paloma, Sameheads, Gaswerksiedlung

the whole biography
Niklas Wandt is a percussionist, producer, DJ and radio host . He lives in Berlin, where his eclectic approach is heard most regularly basement club Sameheads - a lush sonic palette with a hypnotic, heavily percussive drive, from tripped out downtempo and afrofunky cosmic sound (think Rimini 1995) to driving progressive and tribal house, trance, warped techno and warming tech house – high energy in smooth, long blends. The impeccable rhythmic feel is a reflection of Niklas’ musical roots in the world of drums - he has cut his teeth playing in hiphop, psychedelic rock and free jazz projects and has been part of a number of projects centered around Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf. A wide, open minded range of practices that still feed into his music today - at Salon he forged his musical bond to producer Jan Schulte aka Wolf Müller aka Bufiman. The pair released the acclaimed double LP "Instrumentalmusik von der Mitte der World" in 2018 via Growing Bin Records, whose blissful neo-Balearic sound still makes an impact today. Niklas can be also heard as part of the band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge (with records on the labels Themes for Great Cities, Bureau B and Lustpoderosa that became underground favorites) and in a duo with veteran producer Sascha Funke (two discs on Multi Culti, a third one on R.A.N.D. Muzik), plus on a string of releases for imprints such as Bureau B, Permanent Vacation, Animals Dancing, Neubau, Warning and Edizioni Mondo/Running Back. His various projects have taken him all across Europe (appearing at festivals like Nuits Sonores, Fusion, Garbicz, Unsound, Dancity), to China, Israel & Palestine, the US, Chile, Peru and Mexico. February 2025 will see the release of “Mineral House Vol. 1”, Niklas’ first collaborative EP with Amsterdam-based producer Retromigration, via the revered Berlin imprint Love on the Rocks. A music journalist, critic and presenter by day, his features, portraits and reviews mostly on jazz and its many branches can be heard regularly on German public radio stations WDR 3, Deutschlandfunk and SWR Kultur.Their RA profile lists Italic, Permanent Vacation, Running Back, Multi Culti and 6 more.Recently at OXI, Renate, Sameheads · often with Marco Ohboy, Miss Take, Delfonic, none of them here on Friday

the whole biography
Ólta Karawane are creating a halo of mystery. An alcoholic duo from Moscow that once met each other waking up from a delirious state in front of a moscow liquor store. One lost his keys (along with his pants) the other his wallet (along with his jacket). But they still had some booze and when deciding what to do next they were ending up in the studio. Apparently there was a bunch of people digging what they did, so they released a bunch of edits for Maturre, I'm a Cliché and on Discos Capablanca. These guys are true punks, they’re not friends with anyone, nobody likes them, nor do they like anyone, no sympathy, no respect, just moscow street punk. Chances are high you’ll find out by yourself listening to their mix, which is some pinching, rattling, pure, raw and industrial infused material that gives how many fucks? Right, about zero.Their RA profile lists I'm A Cliché, Discos Capablanca and Maturre.- Their RA profile lists Klasse Wrecks.

their own biography
the whole biography
Telephones is renowned as a DJ for his freespirited curveball-mix ranging from balearic tutti- frutti, proto-house and percussion-workouts to cosmic techno, discokraut-gymnastics and outerworldly explorations. Starting with primitive PC-software and DJing in the late 90s, he has since equally focused on production and DJing, now with more than 20 years experience behind decks and knobs. A firm believer in quality over quantity, Telephones has released a sparse, but highly sought after discography on acclaimed underground-lables like Running Back, Sex Tags UFO, Acido, Love On The Rocks and Klasse Wrecks, as well as production work and remixes for legends like José Padilla, Joan Bibiloni and Vangelis Katsoulis to mention some. In 2016 he released his debut album, "Vibe Telemetry" on Running Back, taking his eclecticism and sound one step further, expanding the palette with influences from early Norwegian club-roots, Ambient House, NY House and Disco, 90s UK Balearic, Italo House, Underground Resistance and Detroit Techno. The album received praise and reviews from publications such as XLR8R, Mixmag, iDJ, Future Music, Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and Testpressing. 2019 saw the birth of his new label, European Carryall, kicking off with the archival-series "From The Vaults 1998-2018 Vol 1 & 2", all 12"s selling out within days, and getting both one and two represses. Since then he has followed up with a string of sold out releases ranging from banging house, downtempo hip-hop and breaks-inspired excursions and balearic techno. The recent years has taken Telephones across the globe with frequent tours in Asia, Australia and the Americas, playing in over 35 different countries and as diverse locations as Sao Paulo, Taipei, New York, Mexico City, Hanoi, Tokyo and Melbourne, as well as frequently laying it down on his Berlin/EU home-turf at some of the best underground clubs, such as Berghain/Panorama Bar, Bassiani, Corsica Studios, Griessmuehle, Jaeger and festivals like Love International, Dimensions, Pitch Music and Arts, The Garden and Bahidora.Their RA profile lists Running Back, Full Pupp, International Feel, Saft and 6 more.Recently at Kater, Maaya, Wagenburg Lohmühle Berlin · often with Frinda di Lanco, Hitomi (DE), João Comazzi, none of them here on Friday

“Based in Istanbul but always on the move, Zozo (Nigar Zeynep) is a stalwart of the Turkish Electronic music community.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Based in Istanbul but always on the move, Zozo (Nigar Zeynep) is a stalwart of the Turkish Electronic music community. She has grown to be one of the most out standings in her country and an indisputable name in the new wave of artists and DJ’s experimenting at the fringes of dance music. A tireless digger, she evokes hazy images and clear emotions by means of a colorful and powerful selection. Never leaving behind the sonic fusion that constitutes her cultural heritage, she reveals herself as a sorceress more than a DJ. Her sets are always a mixed bag of influences which she unorthodoxly combines, disregarding preconceptions attached to any genre. Since the very origins, music has had for her many diverse and strong meanings: music as the material to build bridges between communities, as the hand that will dust off our asleep consciousness, a voice that will bring to life the importance of the values and emotions we tend to leave behind in the modern world. Her path has always gone hand in hand with culture. After being musical director of spaces as Hush and Luzia, she is now devoted to encouraging the constant growth of the national scene by encouraging the flow of artists in and out of Turkey. Outwards, she is collaborator of the Lyon-based Macadam Mambo crew and has a residency in Sameheads, where she regularly hosts ground-breaking acts in a sincere attempt to foster underground talent and to support up-and-coming names. She is also a member of electronic music and art collective ‘Les Belles De Nuit’ founded in Zurich, supporting women and queer artists. Furthermore, her work has been featured on Resident Advisor, Crack Magazine, Groove Magazine, Dekmantel, Boiler Room, Dj Mag, Trax Magazine, The Ransom Note, Time Out and Krossfingers. Following the motto ‘life is hard but music is good’ since an early age, she has a seasoned character and deep understanding of the dynamics of the dancefloor, with which she communicates with empathy. That has kept her busy on the weekends: she has brought her versatile taste to iconic dancefloors as Panorama Bar, Contact Tokyo, De School, Ankali Prague, Robert Johnson or Salon des Amateurs. She is also a regular in high-rated festivals as Berlin Atonal, Waking Life, Lente Kabinet, Flow Festival, Strange Sounds From Beyond, Dekmantel and its Selectors offshoot.Their RA profile lists Macadam Mambo.Recently at OST, Sameheads
