the whole biography
Both as a DJ and a producer, Patrick Gräser aka Answer Code Request has honed a hybrid musical approach that stands out in a world of uniform 4/4 techno. Melding pad-driven harmonies, intricate breaks and an industrial sonic palette, Gräser has occupied a unique space within the Ostgut Ton cosmos since debuting on the label in 2012 and becoming a Berghain resident shortly thereafter. His various releases and remixes for Ostgut Ton, MDR, Dolly Deluxe and Monkeytown Records continue to be highly sought after. As a DJ, he has taken his bass- and breaks-heavy techno to clubs and festivals around the globe, while remaining an integral part of the Berlin scene.Their RA profile lists Music Man Records, Ostgut Ton, Delsin, Marcel Dettmann Records and 6 more.Recently at BASEMENT, Paragon · often with Berghain, ROBUS, SUMME, none of them here that night
“Cora moves with astral intuition—alchemizing her indie acting roots into cinematic sets that radiate with celestial energy, and sear with Sichuan spice.”

Cora moves with astral intuition—alchemizing her indie acting roots into cinematic sets that radiate with celestial energy, and sear with Sichuan spice. Driven by rolling drums, percussive passages, punchy vocals and transcendent breakdowns, the Chengdu-born DJ weaves between old school trance, progressive house and techno grooves—superimposing dramatic subplots and emotional undertows onto rhythmic narratives, attuned to the kinetic desires of the dancefloor. From her hometown residency at .TAG, Chengdu, to her newfound base in Berlin, Cora's path has been one of perpetual transformation, evolving into an accomplished DJ and producer amid an awakened and accelerating scene. Her debut release, ‘Mountain High’, marked a propulsive blend of progressive trance and her own take on traditional mountain singing, drawing on seven years of classical Italian operatic training. Her latest release, sees a meditative rendition of Buddhist mantra, ‘The Heart Sutra’. Across each of her personal productions, Cora’s confident and ethereal vocal experimentation makes every track distinctly her own. Through her performance, productions, and party series 6G+, Cora blends primal rhythm with otherworldly experience, continuing to embrace a more uplifting and sensual incarnation of her ever-mystical sound——where trance meets transcendence, and fantasy meets physical release.Their RA profile lists Proxima.often with Kim Ann Foxman, Ron Like Hell, ROBUS, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Veronica Vasicka is a NYC native: a photographer, musician, DJ and founder of the epic record label and on-line music resource Minimal Wave. As one of the founding members of East Village Radio, she managed the station during its pirate days and began collecting obscure and long forgotten gems that fell somewhere between the Cold Wave, Post-Punk, Industrial and Synth-pop genres. Not knowing what to classify these bands as, she coined the genre Minimal Wave and set up the website www.minimalwave.com as an online resource to share her finds with the rest of the world. The response to the website was huge and shortly after its launch, Veronica began tracking these artists down and re-issuing their work on the Minimal Wave label. Most of these bands recorded extremely limited copies of their work in their basements and shared their work with the world via John Peel's radio show and a handful of underground music mailings. The music released on the label ranges stripped down, D.I.Y. synth-pop to pioneering industrial electronics. In addition to running Minimal Wave, Veronica launched the Cititrax in 2008 (www.minimalwave.com/releases/cititrax) label as way to expose newer synth-based acts. She DJs monthly in her hometown, New York City, and around the world, as well as having hosted a weekly radio show from 6-8pm ET on East Village Radio for 10 years. She now hosts a monthly show on Red Bull Radio called This Side of Nowhere. She has curated and released over 100 albums now, amongst them were two highly lauded compilations: The Minimal Wave Tapes: Volumes 1 and 2 which were picked up, released and distributed by Stones Throw Records. Veronica's DJ sets range from raw, danceable industrial electronic to cold wave fused with mutant house and underground techno. She likes to tell a story when spinning and to teach the crowd about the roots of electronic music. She has a fantastic talent for synthesizing her influences into an unforgettable night of dancing.
