the whole biography
As a founding member and creative director of SPANDAU20, Elli Acula has played a pivotal role in shaping the label’s distinct sound. Her breakout collaboration, “To The Peak” with FJAAK and Steffi (Ostgut Ton), marked a significant milestone, receiving acclaim and support from leading names in Techno and Electro. Since then, her artistry has continued to evolve, with standout releases like "Pleasure" on Fabric Records, "BFF" on SPANDAU20, and a lauded remix of KiNK's "For The People" on Hypercolour. Beyond the studio productions and live shows, her sets have reached global audiences through highly successful live streams, including Arte Concert at Stone Techno Festival and Berlin TXL, Mixmag Lab at Awakenings Festival, Boiler Room at Boomtown Festival, HÖR Berlin & more - further cementing her reputation as a driving force in the international scene. Euphoria Sessions by Elli Acula began as a stream series from unique, high-impact locations, designed to create immersive experiences. From there, it naturally transitioned into curated club nights, debuting at Fabric London and expanding worldwide. Always evolving, its goal remains clear: to craft cutting-edge experiences in exceptional spaces and foster a collective energy that transcends the dancefloor.Their RA profile lists Hypercolour, SPANDAU20 and fabric Originals.Last at BASEMENT in Mar · often with SUMME, Josey Rebelle, ROBUS, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
ANNA Z is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice moves between music, architecture, coding-based visual art and hardware. At the core of her work lies a deep fascination with modular synthesis and the possibilities of electronic sound. As a live performer and DJ, she has brought her distinctive approach to renowned venues, festivals and institutions including Superbooth, Freerotation, CTM, Tresor, Berghain, Blitz, Bassiani, FUSE and La Gaîté Lyrique, among others. Her performances are defined by an intuitive and exploratory approach to sound, combining intricate textures, bass-heavy pressure and rhythmic structures with an ongoing process of experimentation. Working predominantly with hardware, ANNA Z moves fluidly between IDM-inspired soundscapes, dubstep-influenced low end, deep techno and electro, creating a sound that is both detailed and physical. Since 2021, she has hosted KOMI, her own radio show on Radio80k, a noncommercial community radio based in Germany. Rooted in an open and independent spirit, KOMI explores electronic and contemporary music across genres, creating a space for discovery, exchange and experimentation. Alongside her musical practice, ANNA Z works across 3D Modeling, drawing, programming and mixed media, with music remaining the central thread connecting these different forms. She also shares her knowledge through workshops focused on modular synthesis, live performance and visual art, fostering spaces for collective learning and creative exchange.Their RA profile lists WERK Records and SPANDAU20.often with SUMME, ROBUS, Dangermami, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Heavily influenced by innovators such as Throbbing Gristle and Floorplan, their productions encapsulated sounds that were inspired by the UK and Detroit, and were complimented with live spoken word. After moving to Berlin in 2016, they transitioned from performance art to DJing, where their sets on HÖR facilitated their breakthrough as a DJ. Having drawn inspiration from early industrial and techno pioneers, x3butterfly’s sets retain a raw and ominous quality, with a club twist. Prioritizing the eclectic, they often aim to take listeners on a story-telling journey while simultaneously keeping them on the dance floor. Their sets combine jungle, drum and bass, R&B, dubstep, techno, and other world sounds at 140-160 BPM. x3butterfly has played in various clubs in Mexico, Germany, Denmark, Greece, as well as a multitude of cities in the US. They have quickly become a rising NYC star, DJing notorious NYC venues such as Bossa Nova, Mood Ring, and Nowadays. You can find their most recent production titled “Holy War Remix” on Rubby’s Pájaro Malo Remix EP on Spotify.Bass Music on 2, Breaks on 2, House on 2 and Techno on 2. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Clasico Records (2) (1) and subglow (1); their RA profile also lists PLOT. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Knockdown Center, Paragon, Elsewhere · often with The Carry Nation, Sterling Juan Diaz, Joy Orbison, none of them here that night
