Moving between Europe and Asia, he continues to refine a personal approach to groove and atmosphere. Through his event series Bray Gray in Berlin and Tokyo, he connects different scenes and textures into a shared resonance.

  the whole biography

  Dominik André is a Berlin-based DJ, producer and label head who has spent more than a decade shaping dance floors with his distinctive blend of slow-burning electronica, quirky techno, mutant and lost trance gems. His style leans toward the odd and the raw, creating a flow that moves between steady pressure and sudden peaks. As the founder of Subject To Restrictions Discs, he handles the artistic and organisational direction of the label, which has become a home for bands and producers inspired by 80s and 90s electronics while refusing rigid genre boundaries. In April 2026, he released his debut EP, co-written and co-produced with Marc Feldmann, featuring hypnotic techno that blends trance and progressive elements. Following years as a resident at Club Zukunft in Zurich, Dominik has become a familiar name both locally and internationally. He has appeared at Salon Des Amateurs in Düsseldorf, Club OST and Sameheads in Berlin. He has also performed at festivals including Lethargy and Montreux Jazz Festival, in settings where his sets are appreciated for going their own way rather than following trends. Beyond the club, Dominik hosts the monthly show Murky Rhythms Collide on Radio Raheem and has appeared on NTS and Rinse FM in London and Kiosk Radio in Brussels. These platforms allow him to explore a broader musical range that doesn't always fit club sets. His international activity also includes tours in Japan, further establishing him as a distinctive voice in electronic music.

  the whole biography

  As a DJ and driving force behind many projects in Zurich, Nive has repeatedly showcased her distinct sense of contemporary club and music culture. Drawing on her Tamil background and former training in Carnatic music, Nive weaves a unique soundscape in her sets, moving effortlessly between different influences and tempi. Her sets are a vibrant, rhythmic exploration of a multitude of genres, each track carefully selected with a storytelling approach that aims to captivate the audience from start to finish. Her journey into DJing began with F96, a feminist interdisciplinary collective dedicated to challenging and reshaping structures in the creative field. As a core member from its early days, she played a key role in shaping its vision and direction. Slowly stepping into the international scene, she has played at venues such as Sameheads in Berlin, Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf, and Karmen Camina in Strasbourg. She has also performed at several radio stations across Europe, further expanding her reach. In Switzerland, she has made her mark at major festivals like Montreux Jazz Festival, Gurten Festival, and Am Bach. Currently, she is involved with the Zurich-based record label Subject To Restrictions Discs and is also the co-founder of Sooriyan, a platform celebrating South Asian creativity within Switzerland’s electronic music scene.
