Developing a passion for electronic music through the underground scene of his hometown, Yonti went on to become one of its defining figures - whether behind the decks or as a curator of clubs and events, always channeling the same wild, inclusive energy that captivated him from the start. Pursuing a contemporary and propulsive style of techno, his sets balance surgical focus with unvarnished expression - alluring loops stacked in crisp layers, brooding inescapable intensity, and a near-erotic tension that rises without ever surrendering its grip, leaving the room drenched in sweat and suspended in melancholic euphoria. Yonti made his debut at Berghain’s legendary SNAX party at just 23 and soon became a regular at the institution. Since then, his sound and dedication have taken him to some of the most respected rooms and festivals worldwide: Bassiani, K41, De School, BASEMENT, Tresor, Pawnshop, Faust and even Glastonbury Festival.Recently at BASEMENT · often with Ne/Re/A, Annie Lew, GLOBUS, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Lydo is a Filipino-born Vietnamese-American sound artist. As a resident DJ of BASEMENT NY, their distinctive sets explode the parameters of techno, deftly cutting across genres while retaining a highly personal emotional resonance. Whenever Lydo plays, it’s best to leave your expectations at the door and simply prepare for an unexpected array of sonic thrills, ranging from visceral and grooving to mind-bendingly experimental. A trans artist themselves, Lydo launched X-TRA.SERVICES to serve and create space for queer, trans, and nonbinary people of color. This ethos of care and insurgent collectivity runs through their broader practice. They have performed at Berlin Atonal, Draaimolen Festival, Bourse de Commerce, and Bassiani, as well as subterranean parties and festivals across North America, Europe, and Asia. Beyond the club, Lydo works with sound through installation, composition, and curation. Their abstract, experimental work spans museum and institutional contexts, including MoMA PS1, SculptureCenter, and Kunsthalle Basel, among others. In 2025, they launched care., an itinerant series for live and experimental sound that continues to explore new sonic forms in unexpected contexts.Their RA profile lists X-TRA.SERVICES.Recently at The House, MoMA PS1, H0L0 · often with The Carry Nation, Juana, Shaun J.

With an unmistakably frisky approach to the craft, Roi Perez’s extensive DJ-sets anchor dance floors and locks the room into a shared frequency, creating an atmosphere of togetherness, where loose sweaty bodies tune in and resolve into a single collective experience. Focusing all of his artistic energy solely on DJing, the Berlin-based DJ crafts long, percussive narratives that swing between sweat and sweetness. With an ever expanding record collection, his sets span groove-led house, tribal-leaning techno, and the teasing, flirtatious heartbeat of a good ballroom. His Panorama Bar residency, lasting over a decade, has shaped his sound signature. In Berghain’s most playful room, Perez has refined a way of mixing that feels expansive without losing intimacy. The same spirit follows him to Dekmantel, Glastonbury Festival and other stages worldwide, and he is equally at home in the steamy basements we all love so much. In short: Roi Perez is a key figure wherever long sets, instinct and mischief shape the night. Perez’s own party LAUNDRETTE traces dance music back to its queer roots through time-stretching sets and a deep attunement to the room’s collective resonance. The project also directs funds to marginalised communities and humanitarian initiatives.Recently at Knockdown Center, BASEMENT · often with Berghain, Phase Fatale, David Elimelech, none of them here that night
