Who they are
“Freddy K: techno activist.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Freddy K: techno activist. Since the ‘90s Alessio Armeni has been tireless campaigning from the dancefloor, defending vinyl, championing young talents and reinforcing the scene from the shadows. You will know him best for his marathon DJ sets and deviant selections. You might recognise him as the head of KEY Vinyl, or for the backstage role he played at M_Rec, the label he helped run with best friend Max_M. You should definitely know about Virus, the thing that started it all off for him back in Rome. Lory D and Leo Anibaldi’s The Sound of Rome movement; Luca Cucchetti’s renowned Mad radio shows; warehouses, soundsystems and rave all informed Freddy K’s earliest obsession with techno. He started DJing at Sunday after hour events, having danced all through the night himself. In 1993, aged 21, he launched his now famous Virus radio show, which ran daily from 8PM to midnight, and from midnight to 6AM every Saturday. Parties, a booking agency and record shop soon followed: the Virus movement had arrived. A year later Freddy K signed to the legendary ACV, who released his first EP, Control. Rage Of Age, his debut album came in 1995; a dark and noisy record influenced by his two passions, Chicago acid and rock. It was widely lauded throughout the country and remains a testament to the old Sound of Rome today. After Virus peaked and having toured all over the world with ACV, Freddy K stopped DJing and retreated to the backroom. He spent the early millennial years working with Sandro Nasonte at Rome’s flagship record store, Remix. Together they set up the influential Elettronica Romana label, which released some of Donato Dozzy and Giorgio Gigli's first EPs. He moved to the German capital in 2009, setting up KEY Vinyl as a “techno label for DJs” two years later. Artists like PVS and Héctor Oaks have helped forge the label’s (and Freddy K’s own) traditionalist view on techno. Moving to Berlin reignited Freddy K’s teenage infatuation with rave. He soon fell in with Homopatik, the former monthly gay event at ://about blank. He became notorious for his epic 10, 14 and 16 hour-long sessions there, playing always strictly vinyl and in a dynamic, party conscious fashion. Freddy K sets are characteristically mercurial and 100% tailored for the dance. He plays a “360°-style of techno,” which can include Soft Cell, WestBam or Bronski Beat—when the timing is just right. He played his first Berghain set in 2013; two years later he was closing the place, keeping the energy levels soaring well into Monday. The last 20 minutes, he says, are the most important. So be sure to stick around till the very end.Their RA profile lists Key Vinyl.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Quantum Oddity Gallery, KREUZWERK · often with D.Dan, The Lady Machine, Alarico, none of them here on Saturday

American-born, Berlin-based artist fumi is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting new voices in the techno scene. Under the guise of her grandmother’s name, fumi’s eclectic selection and musical background bellows a playful rendition of old and new school techno, and comes together through quick, high energy mixing. As a member of 240 KM/H, fumi is not only influenced by the techno scene, but draws ideas from many other genres and bubbles, including jazz, hip hop, and RnB. With a dedication to the craft of track selection and mixing, the artist treats her setup as an instrument, composing a new sound through layering. Characterized by fast mixing and multi-deck construction, fumi’s sound is one of it’s own.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Else, Sonnenraum · often with Serafina, future.666, Adrian Mills, none of them here on Saturday
“If the mix of genres were to meet the young generation of Parisian techno producers, Hyden would be the result.”

If the mix of genres were to meet the young generation of Parisian techno producers, Hyden would be the result. Both passionate about harmonies and frenzied percussion, he creates music tinged with groovy, old school and mental sounds from multiple influences to offer its own vision of techno : incisive and hypnotic. Let yourself be carried away by his musical signature, stamped with the warehouses of the French capital, which have carved his universe as finely as a sharp blade. Since 2022, Hyden is also in a duo with the DJ and producer Seigg under the name Random Order. They released an EP “Long Live the Groove” with mental and oldschool influences and they perform in B2B.Their RA profile lists Fever Recordings, LABURNUM Records, Influenced Records and Deadline Records.Recently at Else, RSO.BERLIN · often with Play, Blackmoonchild, Luna Ludmila, none of them here on Saturday
“Amsterdam’s visionary and fertile underground scene.”

the whole biography
Amsterdam’s visionary and fertile underground scene. Emerging from the notorious rave community through his former residency at Orphic Amsterdam, where he perfected the craft of playing dancefloor and storyline inspired techno, this current Vault Sessions resident knows how to scan and adapt to any crowd. With a musical library spanning multiple sub-genres, tempos, and decades, Lobster always has the fitting track ready to be played out, scouting the dancefloor for the perfect moment. Uncompromising in his vision, Lobster has carved out his own unique space, steadfastly pushing his signature tripped-out high energy sound without succumbing to fleeting trends. Yet, despite his persistence, he remains ever-curious, constantly seeking fresh inspiration to fuel his creative fire. Combined with his unconditional passion for electronic music, it is certain Lobster is and will continue to be a dominant force in today’s techno scene. His commitment to consistency and keen sense of the crowd have led him to play sets for hungry audiences in venues all across the globe, like Bassiani, Awakenings, Vault Sessions, Freedom Medellin, Ratherlost, Basement New York, RSO, BRET, Laster Madrid and many more. As the years passed, his journey took a turn towards the studio, where the focus shifted from just playing music to creating it. Rejecting the notion of rigidly defining what a track should be before it’s made, Lobster embraces a more organic approach. For this artist, creativity isn't about control; it's about flow. This approach has allowed him to produce tracks that resonate with authenticity and his raw emotion.Their RA profile lists Format Records, Warok, SYXT, PRX Records and 2 more.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Else, KREUZWERK · often with Mara Menace, Kim She, Disguised, none of them here on Saturday
“Tauceti has been one of the figures of this new generation of techno artists to follow very closely for a few years now.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Tauceti has been one of the figures of this new generation of techno artists to follow very closely for a few years now. First as a DJ, where she distills a dark, tropical and sensual techno with percussive and vaporous rhythms in her mix. She further stands for a very particular elegance and a certain, clearly audible maturity, which makes her stand out. Tauceti then also stepped up as a producer, thanks to collaborations and EPs, the last of which appeared on the 30D Records in 2022. Through this work of exploration of and in between sonorous patterns, she demonstrates her talent to break down silos, oscillating between ambient and techno, between strange reverie and raw realism, between bright lights and heavy tablecloths.Their RA profile lists 47 and WSNWG – BACK TO ZERO.Recently at Tresor / Globus, RSO.BERLIN · often with Decoder, DJ Nobu, Ne/Re/A, none of them here on Saturday
“ÜBERKIKZ combines driving kicks, tooly synths, tribal and folkloric elements into a hypnotic journey.”
their own biography
the whole biography
ÜBERKIKZ combines driving kicks, tooly synths, tribal and folkloric elements into a hypnotic journey. With each kick, she tells stories that resonate deeply, encouraging a confrontation with one's origins. Free from thought, almost instinctively, her sets are a call to surrender to the moment and experience all these raw emotions in its purest form. At the heart of her sets lies the belief that we all share a common origin – beyond nationality, culture, gender or sexuality. Music is the universal bond that unites us, and this is the essence ÜBERKIKZ aims to express through her art: the power of rhytms to bring us together as a community and remind us of the unity of all humanity. She also publicly positions herself against sexism, discrimination and racism, as she wants the scene to become more inclusive. ÜBERKIKZ does this by actively supporting FLINTA* artists and encouraging them to make space for themselves in a male-dominated scene.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Else, ZENNER · often with DJ Hyperdrive, future.666, DJ Cringey, none of them here on Saturday

Biography: Marco Bruno's artistry is a vibrant tapestry, weaving together a sonic and emotional landscape that is as diverse as it is pure and free. Hailing from Apulia in South Italy, Marco began his creative journey spinning records at local clubs, a path that would eventually propel him onto the stages of Europe's most illustrious capitals. Notably, he made his live debut at the legendary Tresor in Berlin, having previously honed his craft through DJ sets. Marco's music transcends strict genre boundaries, crafting unique soundscapes through various Electronic Music styles, distinguished by its emotive depth and versatility. His discography includes landmark releases on Helena Hauff's Return To Disorder, James Ruskin's Blueprint, and Ben Sims' esteemed labels Symbolism, Hardgroove, and Machine (a collaborative venture by Ben Sims & Kirk Degiorgio - here, he stands shoulder to shoulder with techno titans like Luke Slater, Robert Hood, Function, Oscar Mulero, and Steffi). His work also appears on Sunil Sharpe's Earwiggle and Truncate's label, among others. Driven by relentless exploration, Marco launched his own label, "Evighet." This label is more than a music platform; it's an anthropological narrative exploring the evolution of human identity over time. With Evighet, Marco intersects his discography with artists of the calibre of The Fear Ratio and articulates his vision of electronic music within an infinite temporal space, extending beyond the conventional club scene to include compositions for theatre and events like TEDx. This project represents a bold expansion of Marco's storytelling, offering a profound and timeless interpretation of sound and self.
