the whole biography
SAAMO is a Berlin-based DJ, producer, and audio designer born and raised in Tehran, currently studying audio design in Berlin. His musical identity is shaped by a lifelong connection to sound, starting in a musically influenced family environment and early training as a drummer, where he developed a strong sense of rhythm and dynamics. At 14, he shifted deeply into electronic music, digging into records and shaping his direction through immersive and driving sounds, inspired by artists such as Art Department and Paul Kalkbrenner. Now based in Berlin, SAAMO is a vinyl-only DJ focused on hypnotic, driving techno with atmospheric layers, deep basslines, and subtle experimental textures, occasionally exploring ambient and drone influences. He is the founder of FHASE and an active member of the Abandoned Factory Berlin community.Last at Sensorium in Sep · often with FAUST, Blck-Swan, Artificial DNA, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
KLEYN is a child of the 90s, born and raised in Koblenz, a small city between Cologne and Frankfurt. His connection to music started early. First with piano, later with a strong interest in drums, especially African percussion. The love for rhythm and groove has stayed with him ever since and still shapes the way he listens to and plays electronic music today. As a teenager, KLEYN discovered electronic dance music and quickly moved towards house and techno. Around 2015, at the age of 18, he became part of the underground techno scene and spent several years experiencing the culture from the dancefloor. During the Covid period, his growing passion for the music led him to start DJing himself. He began with the same kind of raw, hypnotic and driving techno that still forms an important part of his sound today. In 2025, KLEYN shifted his focus strongly towards vinyl. Since then, digging, collecting and playing records has become an important part of his artistic identity. His sets are mainly built around vinyl, while he stays open to digital when the situation or setup requires it. When the underground scene in Koblenz started to feel smaller, KLEYN moved to Frankfurt in search of new inspiration and a stronger connection to club culture. There he discovered a scene with a bigger focus on house and minimal, which opened another side of his musical taste. Today, KLEYN moves between hypnotic and driving techno, house and minimal. Depending on the setting, his sets can be deep and groove-driven or more intense and stripped-back, always with a strong focus on selection, rhythm and flow. For KLEYN, DJing is not only about playing records, but about creating connections through music, discovering new scenes and staying close to the underground culture that first inspired him.“From hypnotic beats to intricate melodies, each track is a testament to his dedication to the art of sound.”

From hypnotic beats to intricate melodies, each track is a testament to his dedication to the art of sound. With an unparalleled ability to transport you on a profound musical journey, ESSMEE's sonic tapestries are nothing short of hypnotising. With a degree in Sound Design from CES in Tbilisi and driven by an unquenchable passion for music, ESSMEE embarked on his musical journey in 2019, and he hasn't looked back since.“Based in Berlin since 2024, FACONTI approaches techno as a space for contrast: where repetition becomes movement, intensity meets introspection, and subtle details can carry as much weight as the impact of the dancefloor.”

the whole biography
Based in Berlin since 2024, FACONTI approaches techno as a space for contrast: where repetition becomes movement, intensity meets introspection, and subtle details can carry as much weight as the impact of the dancefloor. Shaped by years of experience across different musical contexts, FACONTI marks a more personal chapter in an ongoing musical journey. His musical language draws from the hypnotic and industrial sides of techno, while leaving room for melodic elements, atmospheric passages and influences that extend beyond the genre. Rather than following a fixed formula, his sets develop through a constant tension between control and instinct, moving from intimate and restrained moments towards more physical and intense territories. Alongside his DJ work, FACONTI founded Nocturne Archives, an audio and visual series documenting nocturnal states through his own sets and selected guest contributions. Conceived as an evolving archive of encounters, perspectives and experiences, the series traces the subtle connections that emerge between people, places and moments, allowing each contribution to become part of something larger than itself. It reflects the same approach that informs FACONTI’s music: creating a space where sound, atmosphere and emotion can unfold, shift and leave a trace.“Based in Berlin, Viktor Kampf is a DJ and curator operating within the deeper spectrum of techno.”

the whole biography
Based in Berlin, Viktor Kampf is a DJ and curator operating within the deeper spectrum of techno. As the mind behind TRIG, a Sunday night series rooted in long-form sets and hypnotic energy, he has developed a distinct approach to the dancefloor — prioritising flow, tension and gradual transformation over immediate impact. His selections, typically ranging from 134 to 140 BPM, reflect a refined balance between groove and mental depth, shaped by the context of extended club sessions. With a growing presence beyond Berlin, including appearances in Brussels, Viktor continues to expand his sound and vision through both performance and curationTheir RA profile lists AVA Records Berlin.Last at Sensorium in Oct · often with Trig Crew, PETDuo, Camilla Tarantino, none of them here that night
