    the whole biography
    Tassilo and Thomas met at Berlin’s renowned SAE, and were drawn together as they were the only two in their studies who had their sights set on the sound of techno. Their initial musical efforts placed a primacy on integrating electronic experimentation with minimal stylings while simultaneously establishing the ominous, murky sounds that have since become synonymous with their name. The next few years saw the release of a steady stream of original tracks and remixes on both Mobilee and Einmaleins, each demonstrating the duo’s commitment to precise, undulating and kinetic grooves accompanied by a steady expansion of their sonic palate. The defining moment of Pan-Pot's career came in 2007 with the release of their debut artist album, Pan-O-Rama. The aptly named long player offered a 360-degree view of techno that was unique, uncompromised and most importantly, their own. The body of work perfectly balanced heavy, peak time club stormers to deeper, more intricate atmospherics and birthed the overground hit "Charly". More recently "Confronted" and "Captain My Captain" have demonstrated their classic, bold and timeless production style, presenting them as the producers at the top of their game, both sonically and conceptually. Pan-Pot hasn't gotten to where they are on their productions alone. When the two aren't spending countless hours in the studio remixing or creating original work, they are relentlessly touring. This is how they have truly gotten to where they are: by touching the writhing, euphoric, dancing seas of bodies at countless gigs every year. Not only do they have an electric vibe to watch, but their grasp and keen understanding of each and every dance floor is unparalleled. Whether it's an intimate club night or a massive festival like Awakenings, Timewarp, or Creamfields, Pan-Pot know exactly what to do. Unconstrained by boundaries, they traverse techno, house and everything in between with a masters touch. Although their name comes from a basic element of studio equipment, they have rewritten notions of form and function through their own idiosyncratic language and are now stepping completely into a new world with the launch of their own imprint, Second State. Second State is not only a platform for Pan-Pot to release their own music, they are creating a family of like minded artists around them to create, imagine and travel the world with, spreading the Second State vision. It's a place where all ideas can flow seamlessly. From music and events to art and fashion, it's a place where there is no ceiling. No limits to what can be achieved or dreamed. Now is the time they are truly coming into their own. Not only as world class artists and performers, but as tastemakers and masters of their own destiny.
    Their RA profile lists Soma Records, Cocoon Recordings, Get Physical Music, Systematic Recordings and 6 more.

    the whole biography
    ONYVAA stands at the forefront of techno’s new generation, channeling a timeless spirit and fusing classic roots with a vision built for what’s next. She’s delivered modular live performances and high-impact DJ sets on iconic stages including Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Printworks, EDC, Drumsheds, Fabric London, Rex Club, Circoloco, Amnesia Ibiza, HÏ ibiza, and many more, fueling her steady rise across the global dance music landscape. Raised in California and shaped by years in the European underground, ONYVAA channels the soul of techno, the warmth of house, and euphoria of old school trance, fused into a sound that doesn’t follow trends or rules. Her sets move with intention and feeling, never formulaic, shaped by sensing the energy and reading the room in real time. Whether behind the decks or performing live with her modular setup, she builds immersive, rhythm-led journeys intended not just to ignite the dancefloor but to elevate the collective state. Her productions have landed on respected labels including Charlotte de Witte’s KNTXT and Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8, reflecting a sound that is stripped back, driving, and built for movement, with every element placed with intent. She has toured globally alongside de Witte and has received support from top-tier selectors like Carl Cox and Laurent Garnier. Hawtin has described ONYVAA as “the future of techno,” a co-sign that speaks to both her craft and her potential. With early recognition as Best Newcomer at the DJ Awards in Ibiza, her rise is undeniable, and ONYVAA’s next chapter is just beginning.
    Their RA profile lists Serial Disc Touchers and KNTXT.

    Known as a techno producer who has her own unique and innovative sounds, Julia has most recently been featured on Bandcamp Daily as the best electronic music producer and in a glowing review in The New Yorker that called her talent "beguiling" and "rare" and that her music "fills the mind."  She is the founder and curator of the music record label JUJUKA, partner at Bar Laika by e-flux and Public Records resident. "She established a style that feels half Rome school, half Japanese hypnotic techno, but fully Julia Govor." Julia is enthusiastic and energetic with a charismatic fatal charm. Govor knows how to move, make others feel and engage. . She also is a consummate cat wrangler, experienced squirrel whisperer and can rock the hell out of a vintage ski suit.
