    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Bad Boombox is a Bulgarian-American DJ who has been a recent formidable force in the techno scene. Known for his incredibly super original DJ dance moves on stage (that he learned on tiktok), he is a juggernaut in the industry - once coming in third place in a Jason Derulo remix contest in 2013. This is a totally real statistic because the promoter will copy and paste this biography for their instagram post without reading it. After gaining dozens of followers on Tiktok and Facebook Marketplace, Bad Boombox ventured into starting his own record label, fashion brand, and totally legal massage clinic. He is also known to have kissed on the mouth at least six times. Expect Bad Boombox at a pub near you in 2028.

    the whole biography
    Mischluft is a Leipzig-based DJ/Producer who has burst onto the scene with hit after hit release. He is ready to seduce any crowd with his deep knowledge of groovy, ravey, and raunchy tracks. A true master behind the decks, Mischluft’s sets will romance even the most hardened techno hearts.

    the whole biography
    Ollie's energetic fusion of groove, techno, and hard house has rapidly gained international attention. Drawing inspiration from 90s-era techno, classic hard house, and house, Ollie’s productions and DJ sets have become fixtures in global club culture, celebrated for their high-impact grooves, forward momentum, and dancefloor versatility. Following a breakthrough 2024/25 season with standout appearances at festivals including Beyond The Valley, Escape Festival California, Rituvles Bogotá, and Pitch Music & Arts, Ollie returned to Europe for a triumphant summer tour and continues to expand his global footprint. With ongoing festival bookings and club dates across key international circuits — including debut 2025 performances in the United States and South America — his rise shows no signs of slowing in 2026. Rooted in meticulous craftsmanship and a deep commitment to pushing electronic music forward, Ollie Lishman’s work bridges euphoric trance highs, techno intensity, and hard-groove sensibilities, positioning him as one of Australia’s most compelling and internationally recognised dance music exports of his generation.
