    their own biography

    the whole biography
    While production remains at the core of his work, his DJ sets mirror the same philosophy: selecting and layering tracks with an emphasis on groove, mood, and storytelling rather than trends. Maeksll's approach to production and DJing is guided by a focus on movement, subtle melancholy, and a sense of nostalgia - crafting music that resonates beyond the dancefloor. Carefully balancing repetition with evolving elements, he builds immersive experiences that invite both physical and emotional connection. While Maeksll’s DJing is primarily focused on techno, his sets occasionally incorporate elements of ambient, house, and other electronic styles. He approaches DJing as a form of storytelling, which is reflected in a flexible track selection ranging from slow, hypnotic techno and harmonic tracks to faster, groove-driven dancefloor material. Notable appearances include an opening set for FJAAK and a b2b with GCOD opening for Yanamaste and Rene Wise on New Year’s Eve at Elysia Basel. For bookings: Instagram @Maeksll

    the whole biography
    Blck Swan is a DJ and artist hailing from the island of Mauritius, now based in Berlin, where he found a deep connection with the city's vibrant techno scene and its unyielding sense of freedom.

Blck Swan has performed at some of Berlin's most renowned venues, including Club Ost, Recede, Aeden, and through collectives like Berlin Underground and Exhibit Trance Division.

For Blck Swan, music is not just sound; it is a transformative experience. His mission is simple: to play music that touches the soul, vibrates every cell of your body, and invites listeners to lose themselves in the rhythm, connecting to their true being through sound. Music is everything.

    “🧿 AZADÎ is a Danish-Kurdish emerging DJ and producer who deliberately operates in the shadows.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    🧿 AZADÎ is a Danish-Kurdish emerging DJ and producer who deliberately operates in the shadows. Rejecting the industry’s obsession with visibility and "show-off" culture, she stays true to the underground currents of Copenhagen and Malmö. It is this fiercely authentic approach that drove her to found the Music First community – championing sound over identity, depth over hype and presence over performance. Her sound is a reflection of this ethos: a raw, hypnotic collision of tribal techno and house roots. Her sets unfold as intuitive rituals, not shows – loopy, layered, and risk-taking journeys where her strong connection to her Kurdish ancestry and her sensitive and emotional self, is reborn through rhythm. After a reflective break away from the spotlight, 2025 marks her comeback and evolution into production. Channeling her spirit into original unreleased tracks, she secured a debut release on MZRRECORDS BERLIN after just three months of producing. Her direction remains uncompromising: Raw over perfect. Personal over polished. Real over rules.
