Who they are

  • Schacke

    Copenhagen, Denmark · 11 bookings since Sep 2023

    “The enigmatic Schacke defies categorization.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    The enigmatic Schacke defies categorization. Half Danish, half South Korean, they have been crafting music since their early teens, traversing genres and instruments with fearless curiosity. Starting with drums and emerging from roots in Metal, Noise, and Industrial, Schacke’s journey has been one of constant evolution, building a sonic universe that feels both deeply personal and boundlessly exploratory. After moving to Copenhagen in 2013, Schacke quickly became a central figure in the city’s underground music scene. They co-ran the Mayhem venue, a hub for experimental sounds and radical ideas, while also founding a DIY label for noise and industrial music. In 2015, Schacke joined the founding ranks of the Fast Forward collective, born out of a desire to create space for a new wave of young artists who were often overlooked by the city’s established techno scene. What began as a series of self-organized parties quickly grew into a movement that redefined Copenhagen nightlife, championing inclusivity, high-energy music, and a DIY ethos. The collective’s fresh approach and innovative sound became the foundation of what is now known as the “Copenhagen Techno Sound”, a bold and uncompromising take on electronic music that challenged the conventions of its time. Schacke’s discography spans a range of acclaimed releases on influential labels such as Kulør, ONES and ZEROS, Mama Told Ya, KAOS, Instruments of Discipline, and Intrepid Skin. In 2022, Schacke launched Sacred Interface, a label dedicated to pushing the boundaries of techno and trance while supporting their local friends and peers. Beyond the studio, they are a resident DJ, event organizer, podcast runner for the iconic queer sex parties of Bedside Productions, a space where their ethos of inclusivity and boundary-pushing expression thrives. In 2024, they also became resident DJ for the Korgy Party in Helsinki. Schacke’s artistic philosophy is rooted in contrast and duality. Their music, at once hard-hitting and tender, accessible and avant-garde, reflects an intricate balance of light and shadow, embracing both the delicate and the dark. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic range of genres, they use techno as a framework to create genre-defying fusions, weaving together hypnotic rhythms, euphoric melodies, and evocative textures. This ever-evolving soundscape ensures that Schacke’s work remains distinctly recognizable yet tantalizingly unpredictable. On the dancefloor, Schacke channels the raver they once were: taking mental notes at every party, translating those fleeting moments of euphoria and connection into their studio work. This intimate relationship with nightlife fuels their creativity, ensuring their music resonates deeply with listeners. A true artist in every sense, Schacke invites you where mystery challenges expectations, fluidity disrupts norms, and self-expression reigns without boundaries.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Over the past few years, Mos has established a resonant voice within the electronic music community. The rituals surrounding electronic music have always fascinated Mos, the devotion to craft, the importance of empathy, and emphasis on community. Mos pulls both contemporary tracks and enduring sounds of the past. The result; timeless. Growing up in New York, Mos began working in nightlife at the age of 15 when he was hired by Selah Marley to design and build a party installation in downtown Brooklyn named ‘Primordial Palace’. While Mos was raised in Brooklyn, he originally was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf of Mexico and ravaged New Orleans. This resulted in his family’s relocation to New York City, Mos was only two years old then. Years later, his discovery of electronic music in NYC has led him to dance floors across the world, Kyiv, Brussels, Paris, and Berlin all contributing to his track selection.

    South, Italy · 17 bookings since Aug 2023 · Basement and Berghain techno

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Stemming from Lecce Massimilano Pagliara has been based in Berlin for several years where he's been one of the main forces behind recombining the city's hardboiled techno scene with an often overlooked sensibility for the soft and the tender. Call it underground disco passion. Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to production. These days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild – usually he's holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. Massimilano's last and sophomore album, ‘With One Another’ (LARJ, 2014), was about celebrating the joy of human encounters and in parts seemed like a big get-together with like-minded artists and friends. The record quickly hit the number one spot in Groove magazine's album chart – and its creator hit the road. Besides his busy DJ schedule and far from the usual club circuit routines, the Panorama Bar resident dedicated himself to intense travelling and exploring the world anew. ‘Feel Live’, Massimiliano's third full-length endeavour was recorded in several intimate, sometimes improvised studio settings between Los Angeles, Portland, and Massimiliano's homebase in Berlin as well as at airports and on intercontinental flights high up in the sky – Massi's most playful and imaginative work to date. It's as emotional as sensual, as vibrant as the first ray of light after a thunderstorm has cleared the air.

  • Jeffrey Sfire

    Detroit · 31 bookings since Sep 2023

    “Jeffrey Sfire is originally from suburban Detroit, where he was introduced to underground dance music and illegal warehouse parties as a teenager in the 90's.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Jeffrey Sfire is originally from suburban Detroit, where he was introduced to underground dance music and illegal warehouse parties as a teenager in the 90's. This escape from suburbia led him to the dancefloors of the city’s most talented DJs and musicians, who soon exposed him to a new culture of creative riches. Learning by example, Sfire’s taste and skills as a DJ developed naturally and he soon began playing out at parties, clubs and sleazy gay afterhours, entering covertly through back doors or with a fake ID. At the age of 18, a move to Chicago led Sfire to a whole other side of dance music history, including the Italo Disco and High Energy sounds of the 1980s. He spent afternoons digging through record store crates, meeting retired DJs and developing his musical palette. Jeffrey’s style is absolutely unique and clearly tied to the roots of his midwest upbringing and he can be found working the floor out with italo, high nrg, chicago house, and everything WBMX. Having held numerous club residencies, he regularly plays in LA, Detroit, Chicago, and New York, consistently offering a finely-tuned selection at clubs like Basement and Nowadays in NY, Panoramabar Berlin, and Hot Mass in Pittsburgh. He also has a hand in producing parties such as Detroit's infamous Movement weekend queer rager, Club Toilet, and collaborating with Justin Cudmore on a new monthly Sunday party at Signal (NY). Jeffrey is also a gifted producer and one half of production projects: Sfire (with Sophie), Looky Looky, and Pushing Movies with releases on labels such as Dark Entries, Cocktail D’Amore Music and Ultramajic, while his mixes have long been prized for their depth and quality and are often featured as RA mix of the day.
