  the whole biography

  Erika dreams on the cellular level, or perhaps of transdimensional intelligences moving through strange patterns on celestial objects, working towards a mysterious goal. Her connection to the dreamworld becomes concrete in her approach to music, simultaneously so solid and yet so ethereal. Erika still finds time to accomplish many things in her waking hours, such as being a member of Ectomorph, co-conspirator of Detroit's Interdimensional Transmissions record label, DJing and making music with her pet machines. Her freeform streaming radio station erika.net was one of the very first iTunes presets, running 24x7 for 17 years from 1999 to 2016. Prior to that, Erika was very involved in WCBN-FM Ann Arbor, as a freeform and jazz DJ, and Program Director. The daughter of a famed scientist and already running a well known BBS from her bedroom by the time she was 13, Erika is no stranger to expressing her ideas through technology. In 1997 she was handed a TR-606 and asked to join Ectomorph, and has since become an electronic musician of the highest order, focusing on analog synthesis, with live hardware sequencing that allows transformation over time and a deep depth of tone. to book live or DJ — NA: michelle@thebunkerny.com rest of world: mike@berytus.art

  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.

  the whole biography

  A vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and electronic producer from Melbourne, she has an artistic bipolarity and sophistication that weaves itself through every beat, bar and polyrhythm. Her compelling and intimate music has a gritty distorted edge that immediately strikes a chord with audiences and Beatrice has recently garnered industry attention with an invitation to attend the inaugural Red Bull Music Academy in Montreal in 2016, as well as participation in The Seed conference and two Creative Victoria grants to fund her premier release in the upcoming months. Live on stage Beatrice transforms into electronic vocal lushness and a futuristic atmosphere of deep hip hop, subterranean bass and electrifying break beats. A recent addition to the Operatives roster and a rising performer on the Australian festival circuit she has performed at most major electronic festival from Rainbow Serpent to The Falls Festival to Let Them Eat Cake, as well as supported such artists as Eprom, Lapalux, Mark Pritchard, Opiou, Mad Zach and Om Unit. She is also the DJ for Australian rapper Joelistics of TZU fame and is one of the co-founders of new pop band ‘Haiku Hands’, who work with producers such as Hermitude, Jaytee Hazard and Lewis Can Cut. Back in her own studio, a space filled with vintage synths and samplers, stringed instruments and a myriad of curiosities, it’s a rich bed to create the many electronic music incarnations that will see her “Move toward the Mountain” EP premier release this year.

  their own biography

  the whole biography

  She began her musical journey as a singer and instrumentalist in metal bands before transitioning into electronic music. In 2015, Ireen founded Under My Feet., a London-based collective and label that has become a hub for provocative exhibitions and showcases blending power electronics with experimental sounds. A decade later, she launched REVERSE at Säule Berghain, a party series dedicated to amplifying women, trans, and non-binary artists and creating uncompromised space for expression within the underground techno scene. The project has since expanded to London through a collaboration with SchneidersKeller, featuring curated workshops for FLINTA artists. Ireen bridges the worlds of experimental, electronic, and techno music as a versatile artist and resident DJ at the iconic Tresor Berlin. Her performances, known for their seamless fusion of avant-garde textures and pulsating dance rhythms, have taken her to prestigious venues like Berghain, Kraftwerk, Funkhaus, Basement NY, and FOLD London, as well as major festivals such as Atonal and CTM Vorspiel. Renowned for her genre-defying productions, Ireen collaborates with acclaimed artists including Drew McDowall of Coil, Sorcery, Chloe Lula, Infinity Division (fka Minimal Violence), and Kamikaze Space Programme. Notably, Ireen and Sorcery won the prestigious Raster open call for Soundtrack Europe 2025, with their work featured in a project associated with the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025. She also contributed to Imogen Heap's track What Have You Done to Me, further solidifying her reputation as a versatile artist who pushes creative boundaries across genres. Her discography, celebrated for its emotional depth and innovation, includes releases on labels such as Tresor Records, KR3, and Sonic Groove Experiments. Her 2020 debut LP, In The Land Of Silence, earned widespread acclaim for its evocative soundscapes of moving melodies and rumbling drones. Alongside her musical career, Ireen is actively involved in education. With support from organizations such as Polyphase and Subverted, and funding from the Berlin Music Board, she has conducted Ableton workshops specifically designed for women and non-binary individuals, empowering underrepresented communities in electronic music. Her educational initiatives have also extended to institutions like Berklee College of Music and Ramp Music Academy. Ireen's influence reaches beyond music; she is an advocate for inclusivity and innovation in the arts, continuously pushing the boundaries of leftfield electronic music.

  the whole biography

  His debut EP is regarded by many as seminal, launching his career along with several early Downwards releases, causing a ripple of excitement through the techno cognoscenti of the time. Surgeon has been prolific since, with three albums on Tresor and numerous Counterbalance and Dynamic Tension EPs as well as his 'Breaking The Frame’, ‘From Farthest Known Objects’ and ‘Luminosity Device’ LPs “Over the course of his career, the Birmingham resident has perfected a unique and uncommonly effective production style. His is a tough techno sound with an industrial murk about it but also plenty of funk, swing and a sophisticated sense of dub-space learned in part from his Chain Reaction contemporaries in Berlin. Proving that hard can also be smart, sensuous and danceable, the influence of Surgeon on the 2010-ruling Ostgut/Berghain sound – DJs/producers like Marcel Dettmann, Shed et al – is substantial”. (Fact Magazine) Further evidence of these multi-functional production skills can be seen on Surgeon's impressive remix CV, working with the biggest names in techno (Dave Clarke, Luke Slater/PAS, Green Velvet, Hardfloor, the Black Dog etc), Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Glasgow post-rock outfit Mogwai, old masters Faust and Coil, as well as artists such Moderat, Shed, Traversable Wormhole and Scuba. Over the years Surgeon has shown his versatility as a musician with releases under his own name on FatCat, NNA Tapes and Editions Mego which break all the usual boundaries of electronic dance music. Recently dubbed by Fact magazine as “arguably the finest techno DJ in the world”, Surgeon is also naturally one of the most in-demand, with DJ mixes for Warp and Fabric and a schedule spread across Europe and Japan. He has played every key club/event/festival going; helped pioneer Birmingham’s House of God; and, held a 3 year residency at Tresor (Berlin) during its all powerful 1990s peak. He is also one half of the much loved BMB (British Murder Boys) with Regis as well as performing improvised live sets solo and with Lady Starlight, with Speedy J as ‘Multiples’ and alongside Daniel Bean as ‘The Transcendence Orchestra’ Contemporary Surgeon sets are notable for experimentation with new DJ technologies embracing cutting edge hardware and software solutions, increasingly blurring the line between a DJ set and a live performance. Surgeon is a selector of some skill and one of the most inventive, intuitive DJs out there. Using techno as a vehicle to carry his artistic message, he also mixes up everything from contemporary bass music/dubstep to Rephlex-esque electronica to create a coherent, intense and righteously banging whole. More recently live improvisation has become a more important part of all of his performances.
