their own biography
the whole biography
Rødhåd has been shaping his deep and driving signature sound for almost two decades since his early days in Berlin’s off-grid party scene. Starting with his first residency at the long-defunct Zementgarten in 2006, he went on playing venues and festivals of all sizes and magnitudes. Known for relentless DJ sets that meld uncompromising techno with highly emotional atmospheres and soundscapes, he’s managed to have a major impact on the world’s most cherished floors while remaining passionately independent. Rødhåd continues to abstain from excessive hype, staying very much connected to the community that formed him. In the last years he deepened his interest in the communal aspect of electronic music even further, curating excessive multipersonal live jams at places like Berghain or Dekmantel Festival. By launching Dystopian in 2009, first as a party series and later as a label, he made a distinct mark on Berlin’s techno landscape through a raw and honest vision, that felt true amid the city’s more dark and industrial edge. With releases from the likes of Alex.Do, Recondite, Distant Echoes or Rødhåd himself, Dystopian cemented itself as one of Berlins major techno trademarks throughout the decade of its existence. In 2017 Rødhåd released his debut LP Anxious, demonstrating his versatility as producer, spanning straightforward techno to dim and dusky ambient tunes. With his latest imprint, WSNWG, he created a platform for collaborative explorations in sound and texture with long-time companions and newfound friends alike. While the label’s core output remains a steady stream of dancefloor oriented 12”s it also released full-length albums that venture deeper into experimental and exploratory territories. The concept album series Out Of Place Artefacts (with Vril) takes the listener on a journey through deep introspection and otherworldly land- and soundscapes, while always always alluding to the rich tradition of electronic music in an abstract and mediated rather than direct way. Released in 2022, the LP In Vere (with JakoJako) departs from the characteristically dark and melancholic undertone of Rødhåd’s work, delving into lush, organic textures and ethereal, arpeggiated themes, also implementing elements of electronica. The sublabel WSNWG Back To Zero is devoted to solo releases and compilations, launched in 2020 through the highly acclaimed LP Mood, comprising archive material from 2017/2018, marking Rødhåd’s first purely ambient and experimental release, free of any dancefloor ambition. Over the years, Rødhåd has proved himself as a proponent of true craftsmanship, applying the same rigour to his work in the studio as to selecting and mixing records. Remaining hands-on, and keeping a down-to-earth mentality - steering clear of spectacle - has made him a long-established staple in the electronic music community.Their RA profile lists Cocoon Recordings, CLR, Token, Wolfskuil Records and 6 more.often with Berghain, Dasha Rush, Victor (DE), none of them here that night

the whole biography
NDRX is a Georgian electronic music scene activist and resident DJ of renowned techno club BASSIANI. The journey of a compassionate defender of club culture’s true values starts back in the mid-2000s, when, joined by teenage peers, he starts throwing impromptu raves in the streets of Tbilisi. "We Need More Clubs in Georgia'' becomes a motto of then-newbie young DJs, who were greeted by clumsy gazes and disdain by the passers-by. Nevertheless, the crave for dancing and playing music encouraged them to start throwing parties during the times when not much was happening in the city. Following years sees enthusiastic NDRX founding Stare at DJ (2012-2015), a music series which contributed to the development of the local scene for years. His next venture, 11TH Floor (2015) aimed to unite the group of like-minded electronic music artists. "Other artists joined me on the 11th floor, and something like a commune was created." NDRX’s dedication to the DJ school has encouraged a staggering wave of new DJs and producers, who fill the clubs both home and worldwide nowadays. Since 2016, NDRX proudly joins BASSIANI, a prominent techno institution which revolutionized Georgian club culture and left its mark on the electronic music movements globally. Serving as an underground basis for resistant and subversive youth culture, BASSIANI was notoriously raided by the state armed forces in 2018, prompting tens of thousands of dancers to take to the streets in protest. NDRX, no stranger to street raves, helmed the boisterous task of playing for the protest crowd joined by the artists under the new motto, "We Dance Together, We Fight Together." The state stepped back, and the club eventually reopened next weekend. In the last couple of years, NDRX stands as an embraced guest of one of the most celebrated dancefloors worldwide: Berlin’s Berghain, Amsterdam’s ADE, De School and Vault Sessions; Exit Festival Serbia; Sonar Barcelona; Basement NYC; ODD São Paulo; Fast Forward Copenhagen; Robert Johnson Frankfurt; and Kremwerk Seattle, to name a few; a frisky explorer of unapologetic queer collectives Herrensauna (Berlin); Spielraum (Amsterdam); and Tbilisi’s own Horoom Nights. Focusing solely on DJing, NDRX’s sets bring a scrutinizingly selected and masterfully put-together experience with technical prowess from his spectacular music collection. His sets create the unyielding spirit of the dancefloor, a gutsy passion that makes him the tour de force of the Georgian electronic music scene.often with The Carry Nation, Newa, ROBUS, none of them here that night

Lydo is a Filipino-born Vietnamese-American sound artist. As a resident DJ of BASEMENT NY, their distinctive sets explode the parameters of techno, deftly cutting across genres while retaining a highly personal emotional resonance. Whenever Lydo plays, it’s best to leave your expectations at the door and simply prepare for an unexpected array of sonic thrills, ranging from visceral and grooving to mind-bendingly experimental. A trans artist themselves, Lydo launched X-TRA.SERVICES to serve and create space for queer, trans, and nonbinary people of color. This ethos of care and insurgent collectivity runs through their broader practice. They have performed at Berlin Atonal, Draaimolen Festival, Bourse de Commerce, and Bassiani, as well as subterranean parties and festivals across North America, Europe, and Asia. Beyond the club, Lydo works with sound through installation, composition, and curation. Their abstract, experimental work spans museum and institutional contexts, including MoMA PS1, SculptureCenter, and Kunsthalle Basel, among others. In 2025, they launched care., an itinerant series for live and experimental sound that continues to explore new sonic forms in unexpected contexts.Their RA profile lists X-TRA.SERVICES.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, BASEMENT · often with The Carry Nation, Juana, Shaun J.
