Developing a passion for electronic music through the underground scene of his hometown, Yonti went on to become one of its defining figures - whether behind the decks or as a curator of clubs and events, always channeling the same wild, inclusive energy that captivated him from the start. Pursuing a contemporary and propulsive style of techno, his sets balance surgical focus with unvarnished expression - alluring loops stacked in crisp layers, brooding inescapable intensity, and a near-erotic tension that rises without ever surrendering its grip, leaving the room drenched in sweat and suspended in melancholic euphoria. Yonti made his debut at Berghain’s legendary SNAX party at just 23 and soon became a regular at the institution. Since then, his sound and dedication have taken him to some of the most respected rooms and festivals worldwide: Bassiani, K41, De School, BASEMENT, Tresor, Pawnshop, Faust and even Glastonbury Festival.often with Ne/Re/A, Annie Lew, GLOBUS, none of them here that night

With an unmistakably frisky approach to the craft, Roi Perez’s extensive DJ-sets anchor dance floors and locks the room into a shared frequency, creating an atmosphere of togetherness, where loose sweaty bodies tune in and resolve into a single collective experience. Focusing all of his artistic energy solely on DJing, the Berlin-based DJ crafts long, percussive narratives that swing between sweat and sweetness. With an ever expanding record collection, his sets span groove-led house, tribal-leaning techno, and the teasing, flirtatious heartbeat of a good ballroom. His Panorama Bar residency, lasting over a decade, has shaped his sound signature. In Berghain’s most playful room, Perez has refined a way of mixing that feels expansive without losing intimacy. The same spirit follows him to Dekmantel, Glastonbury Festival and other stages worldwide, and he is equally at home in the steamy basements we all love so much. In short: Roi Perez is a key figure wherever long sets, instinct and mischief shape the night. Perez’s own party LAUNDRETTE traces dance music back to its queer roots through time-stretching sets and a deep attunement to the room’s collective resonance. The project also directs funds to marginalised communities and humanitarian initiatives.often with Berghain, Phase Fatale, David Elimelech, none of them here that night
