the whole biography
Sourced from Latin American basements or snatched from Europe's most suburban warehouses, many of the records from Diamin's collection didn't yet get a proper chance to react with dancefloors. She trades in unrealized, potent dreams and highly reactive substances trapped in vinyl. Her interest in biology turns this experience into something organic & communal, a sort of world-building in real time, where every record is treated with curiosity and care – & it seems to work for dancers and radio shows alike. It's akin to a springboard that Diamin uses to bounce off in different, adjustable directions. Serviervorschlag: queer-coded new wave acts, highly ambitious IDM, encyclopedic psychedelia, usually topped with acid of the deeper, unforgiving kind. Though based on friction between those ingredients, no matter what style you come from, there's room for you to dance and to grow. Diamin has played at venues like Berghain, Bassiani, Tresor, De School, Rex, C12, RSO, among others, and has been featured on platforms such as Boiler Room, NTS Radio, Dekmantel Show x Red Light Radio, Groove Mag, The Ransom Note, Crack Magazine, Inverted Audio, and more. Currently, she is a resident at Mutant Radio (Tbilisi), where she hosts a bi-monthly show. Diamin also occasionally collaborates with queer/LGBTQ+ collectives like Maricas (Barcelona), PLU (Bristol), and Lacura (La Plata). In addition to her personal project, Diamin co-directs a vinyl label called Tecnologías Elementales, which is set to release its third record this year with distribution by One Eye Witness.Recently at KREUZWERK, arkaoda Berlin, RSO.BERLIN · often with Paty Vapor, Sean Gates, Richii, none of them here on Sunday

Born in 1980 in Montevideo, Uruguay, and currently based in Mallorca, Nicolas Lutz has forged a solid identity, wrapped in a carefully sustained aura of mystery and shaped through thousands of hours of obsessive research, digging deep into the darkest corners of underground electronic music. Far from noise and unnecessary exposure, his figure has been built through intuition, deep exploration, and a ritualistic relationship with music, where each record functions as a tool for profound personal work that translates into a powerful impact on the dancefloor. Today, with nearly three decades behind the decks and a collection marked by an inexplicable DNA, he has established himself as a cult selector — a romantic of darkness and a creator of hypnotic atmospheres capable of transforming the energy of any space. His sets carry a free-flowing poetry that is felt from the very first moment: a journey moving from darkness into light, shedding masks and allowing his emotional state to surface through sound. He plays only what he truly knows and loves, losing track of time as hours turn into entire nights where genre becomes irrelevant [techno, electro, house, breakbeat, IDM, ambient or new wave], all secondary to something more honest and mysterious. Nico lets the records almost choose themselves, guided by instinct, weaving together deep and powerful frequencies capable of transforming those open to the moment. Even for him, the outcome is never fully predictable — and that’s where part of the magic lies. This intense relationship with music is grounded in impeccable technique. Thousands of hours of practice, a deep understanding of the structure and energy of each record, and absolute control of EQ grant him total freedom when mixing. The result is improbable combinations, unique transitions, and moments that feel guided by something beyond rational thought. In 2014, he founded My Own Jupiter, a label that quickly became a key underground reference and a fundamental platform for projecting the Uruguayan sound internationally, creating deep connections between artists. After a decade of intense work, the project closed its cycle, leaving behind a solid catalogue and a community that continues to orbit around that experience.Recently at Sonnenraum, Berghain · often with Carmilla Sioux, Pleasure Patterns, Villanelle, none of them here on Sunday

their own biography
the whole biography
Jeena is a Palestinian-Canadian sound artist based in Berlin working with neuroacoustic sound, perception, and embodied listening. Her work moves through ambient composition, voice, and rhythm, forming slow listening environments where sound reshapes attention, emotion, and bodily state over time, both on and off the dancefloor. Spanning performance, recording, and installation, she treats sound less as genre and more as space drawing from ambient, electronic, and trance to create fluid, atmospheric systems of listening. She has presented work at ADE, HORST Festival, Roskilde Festival, Funkhaus, DGTL, and Concertgebouw, as well as a residency at Kwia. Her sound holds listening as a shared space. Soft, physical, and expansive, where perception becomes something lived rather than observed.Their RA profile lists Ransom Note, Human by Default and Intercept.Recently at Atemporal, OHM, Kwia · often with Notte Infinita, Robot Koch, Delta Rain, none of them here on Sunday
