  the whole biography

  Stemming from Lecce Massimilano Pagliara has been based in Berlin for several years where he's been one of the main forces behind recombining the city's hardboiled techno scene with an often overlooked sensibility for the soft and the tender. Call it underground disco passion. Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to production. These days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild – usually he's holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. Massimilano's last and sophomore album, ‘With One Another’ (LARJ, 2014), was about celebrating the joy of human encounters and in parts seemed like a big get-together with like-minded artists and friends. The record quickly hit the number one spot in Groove magazine's album chart – and its creator hit the road. Besides his busy DJ schedule and far from the usual club circuit routines, the Panorama Bar resident dedicated himself to intense travelling and exploring the world anew. ‘Feel Live’, Massimiliano's third full-length endeavour was recorded in several intimate, sometimes improvised studio settings between Los Angeles, Portland, and Massimiliano's homebase in Berlin as well as at airports and on intercontinental flights high up in the sky – Massi's most playful and imaginative work to date. It's as emotional as sensual, as vibrant as the first ray of light after a thunderstorm has cleared the air.

  the whole biography

  Byron Yeates is a Berlin-based DJ and producer, founder of the party-turned record label Radiant Records, co-founder of La Noche, and a resident at Adonis in London, as well as Power Dance Club and Refuge Worldwide in Berlin. He has served his signature sound at Panorama Bar, Fold, Bassiani, Nowadays, Club Raum, TAG and beyond. Yeates’ sets are inflected with an attitude that can at once be incredibly playful and theatrically sincere; a duality that animates the queer lineage of electronic dance music in which Yeates places himself. Since November 2019, Yeates’ label Radiant Records has released an array of EPs by artists both local and abroad. The catalogue is filled with floor-ready cuts that also reward close listening—the RR sound is rich with unexpected timbres and textures, clever melodic lines, and rhythms pivoting far off the 4/4.

  In an attempt to occupy and decentralize the scene, she created alongside with Carneosso the Mamba Negra collective, an independent brand that offers experiences of artistic multi languages. platforms for diversified artists. Through the making of street events that usually take place in abandoned and uninhabited locations, such as student and artist’s squats, the events become self-manageable festivals that represent and push forward the fights for female representativeness and sexual and gender freedom. This group of artistic paths has come in 2013, and it started as a platform for live and organic music to solidify itself as one of São Paulo’s main electronic music parties and also works as a musical project, agency, visual intervention dispositor, label and radio. Cashu has already played with different groups and collectives from other states that occupy, decentralize and hack the Brazilian electronic scene, performing in more that 15 Brazilian cities.

At the end of 2017, she was invited to participate in Stadt Nach Acht Conference in Berlin, organized by Klub Comission, where she talked about the Brazilian electronic scene as well as performed at the conference’s party. She started the year of 2018 with a trip to Amsterdam, invited by the “De School” club, when she also had a chance to perform at the Red Light Radio. At her home country, she participated in Dekmantel Festival in São Paulo and in the pre-Dekmantel transmission, organized by Resident Advisor, as well as having played for 50 thousand people at SP Beats, one of the country's main carnival electronic street parties. This year the artist is also travelling through other Latin American countries, performing at Moodlate party in Paraguay, Noctambula in Chile and Traición in Mexico, besides having recorded a mixtape for Radar Radio. ​ In the mean time, Cashu has developed musical partnerships with other artists, such as the DJ and producer Benjamim Sallum and Amanda Mussi in the LORAC ISSUM project.

  the whole biography

  Majdolen is a Syrian-born DJ, producer, and curator whose rapid ascent in Berlin’s club scene has been nothing short of striking. Since emerging as a powerful presence behind the decks, her name has become a fixture on lineups across the city—gracing venues big and small. A resident at Power Dance Club and headlining some of its most defining queer parties, including Herrensauna, Cocktail D’amore and WHOLE Festival. She shapes her sound by a refined sensitivity to space and crowd. adapting fluidly between rooms and moods; oscillating between techno B-sides laced with low-end tension and percussive restraint, trance-drenched psychedelia, rough-cut house, shimmering disco hybrids, and emotionally potent minimal tools. Her sound draws from the past but reframes it through a contemporary lens, always bringing something unexpected while staying emotionally attuned. Her sets often unleash a collective release, with energy that unfolds from the first moment to the last, driven by the emotional arcs and sonic narratives she sculpts with precision, This approach has earned her growing recognition in Berlin and beyond, both for her storytelling and her grounding presence in queer nightlife. She expanded her voice as a producer with her debut EP Spirals (Umay Works), offering intricate, affective compositions that mirror the same vision that fuels her DJ sets.
