    the whole biography
    Cer­ti­fi­ably one of the most revered under­ground DJs of the Nether­lands, Job Veer­man, bet­ter known as Iden­ti­fied Patient, has made a name for him­self as an oth­er­world­ly sto­ry­teller. His left­field mix­es take the lis­ten­er on a white-knuck­le ride of twists and turns, with no genre, tem­po, or mood off-lim­its. The Ams­ter­dam-based artist made his ascen­sion with some of Rot­ter­dam’s finest imprints, all the while fill­ing dance floors across the coun­try and through­out Europe. His style fus­es raw aes­thet­ics with unri­valed, relent­less ener­gy which he trans­lates into his pro­duc­tions as flu­id­ly as his DJ sets. With a trade­mark sound that drifts between the exper­i­men­tal sides of tech­no, elec­tro, acid, dub, and jun­gle, it was not long before his music gained the atten­tion of Rot­ter­dam-based labels. Hit­ting Com­mon Thread in 2016 with The Female Med­ical Col­lege of Penn­syl­va­nia and then Pinkman in 2017 with a string of releas­es, and lat­er releas­ing his Split EP on Lon­don’s Brokn­toys. These out­lets would become the plat­forms for his ear­ly releas­es which were rec­og­nized as instant hits in sev­er­al charts and clubs through­out Europe and beyond. In 2020 he released his Nerve Deposit EP as part of Dek­man­tel’s UFO Series. This year he will return to Dek­man­tel’s imprint, this time with his debut album. Not only this, but he is busy col­lab­o­rat­ing with Gam­ma Intel on an EP, also due to hit the air­waves this year. Besides his sen­su­al­ly severe, irrev­er­ent pro­duc­tions, Iden­ti­fied Patient has put him­self on the map with his high-ener­gy DJ sets, brim­ming with ten­sion that spills over into eclec­tic and diverse styles. Despite his rapid tran­si­tions his focus nev­er diverges from the qual­i­ty of his selec­tions. He has become a vital pres­ence at Dek­man­tel events and was a reg­u­lar at the Ams­ter­dam insti­tu­tion, De School, firm­ly assert­ing his place in the Dutch elec­tron­ic scene. Iden­ti­fied Patient shows no sign of tak­ing his foot off the gas, with a com­pelling list of forth­com­ing releas­es and an exten­sive tour­ing sched­ule. Strap in for this year’s roller­coast­er ride; sleaze and sat­is­fac­tion guaranteed.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Matthew Bugeja, better known as Patient, is a Malta-based DJ and producer. Over the years, he has developed a sound defined by precision, intensity, and an uncompromising focus on the dancefloor. His style is rooted in driving low-end rhythms, stripped-back percussion, and raw, hypnotic energy that commands attention. Patient has already taken his sound beyond the island, making notable appearances in key electronic music hubs including Berlin, Amsterdam, Milan, and Manchester, with more international debuts on the horizon. Alongside his work as an artist, he is co-founder of the Malta-based collective in.di.go / waX, where he plays an active role in shaping and pushing the island’s underground scene through consistent monthly events. In April, Patient reached a major milestone with the release of his debut EP on Vault Sessions, gaining support from leading figures in the techno scene. With a second EP released in May, with remixes from respected artists, and a full vinyl release coming in September 2026, he continues to establish himself as a forward-thinking force in raw techno. Focused, driven, and steadily evolving, Patient represents a new wave of artists pushing the boundaries of modern techno while staying true to its core essence. Bookings:

  • Bianca Oblivion

    Los Angeles · 12 bookings since Nov 2023

    “Bianca Oblivion lives and breathes Los Angeles.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Bianca Oblivion lives and breathes Los Angeles. Born and raised in the City of Angels, the globe-trotting, genre-hopping, hard-hustling artist—who was recently named by Mixmag as one of 2023’s breakthrough DJs of the year and is also part of Beatport Next’s class of of 2024—is unbound by dance music orthodoxy, opting instead for an “anything goes as long as it bangs” approach that reflects the unique cultural palette of her hometown. Growing up Mexican in LA, Bianca heard G-funk blasting out of cars and cumbia coming out of the stereo at backyard BBQs, and during her teen years, she started spending her nights soaking up electro, house and all sorts of heavy bass music, most often in the city’s vibrant underground club and warehouse rave scene. She’s still raving today, and as a DJ, she’s intent on connecting the dots between seemingly disparate sounds, as likely to drop dancehall, reggaeton, hip-hop, R&B or even a cheeky pop edit as she is to unleash a torrent of gut-rumbling grime, dubstep, hardcore or some other bass-heavy sound. Bianca is the rare selector who can tear the roof off just about anywhere, and in the past few years, she’s showcased her skills not only at world-renowned festivals like Bass Coast, Glastonbury, Fusion and Boomtown, but also at iconic clubs like London’s fabric and Barcelona’s Razzmatazz. Still, it’s Warp Mode—the LA party she throws alongside fellow bass fiends Star Eyes and AK Sports—where she’s most comfortable, and not just behind the decks. Aside from providing a consistent platform for femme/non-binary, queer and POC artists, Warp Mode has become a beacon for low-end freakers from Southern California and beyond, which is why its unique brand of neon-streaked mayhem was broadcast to the world via an unforgettable Boiler Room takeover in 2023. Away from the dancefloor, Bianca also heads up Club Aerobics, a label and monthly radio show that’s been airing on NTS since 2017. And while she has a fantastic ear for other people’s tunes, she’s also made plenty of bangers of her own, flexing her production skills on releases for labels like N.A.A.F.I, Magic City and Future Bounce. Tracks like “Sinais,” “Eski Rave,” and “Selecta” have been rinsed on both sides of the Atlantic, and her song “EZ 4 Me” even landed in EA Sports FC 24, the latest installment of the newly rebranded FIFA video game series. DJ, producer, promoter… Bianca Oblivion does it all, spreading joy and always giving bassbins a serious workout. Keeping up with her is no easy task, but anyone who’s lucky enough to catch her would be well advised to sit back and let her go to work.

  • LOLSNAKE

    California · 11 bookings since Sep 2023

    “Leaning into the hypnotic, the tension-building, and the euphoric release—Lolsnake (she/they) does not simply play to a room, she creates it.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Leaning into the hypnotic, the tension-building, and the euphoric release—Lolsnake (she/they) does not simply play to a room, she creates it. With a fluid, genre-defiant approach, her sets move between the reduced and the raw, the dramatic and the unpredictable, stirring up heady atmospheres and hypnotic moods on the dancefloor. Driving rhythms and intricate sound design sit alongside moments of startling emotional depth — a sonic signature that is at once intense and deeply feeling, cerebral and magnetically unpredictable. A regular at Berghain, Lolsnake is also the founder of Weeeirdos, a queer platform that champions subversive joy, curiosity, and community. As a DJ and visual artist, her multifaceted background fuels a perspective that is both boundary-pushing and deeply rooted in connection — her sets a constant balance between classic dancefloor accessibility and a desire to push at the edges of genre convention. In 2025, Lolsnake took her sound global, performing at Bassiani (Tbilisi), Basement NYC, WHOLE Festival, and returned to Berghain for several celebrated sets that reflected her evolving sonic palette. Her genre-crossing energy has also been showcased in guest mixes for Mixmag, DJ Mag, The Lot Radio, and Crack Magazine. Weeeirdos, which began in 2017 as a hybrid event combining live music, performance and visual art, has since become one of Berlin's most vital queer dance platforms. In 2023, it moved from OHM to a residency at Säule (Berghain). That same year, Boiler Room invited Lolsnake to curate a Weeeirdos live stream from Berlin's dungeon-like Nåpoleon Komplex. Lolsnake has since been asked to curate key events on the Berghain Mainfloor, The Ground (Space) Miami, Radion Amsterdam, and more. Born in California to Iraqi parents and raised in Oakland, Lolsnake's musical roots trace back to classical training in clarinet, saxophone, and bass clarinet. Her teenage years were shaped by a love of Depeche Mode, Underworld, The Knife, and the Arabic tapes of Oum Kalthoum and Fairouz. A move to Manchester in 2010 to study neuroscience immersed her in the UK's DIY rave scene. Berlin followed in 2014, where she found a deep sense of belonging in the city's queer nightlife. After a decade in Berlin, Lolsnake's sets have matured into shimmering constellations of rhythm — reduced and raw one moment, warm and euphoric the next, with mischievous curveballs at just the right moment. With plans to launch the Weeeirdos label and take the project on a global tour, she remains a powerful force in contemporary club culture: driven by feeling, rooted in community, and guided by no rules but her own.
