Born and raised in Southern Italy, his artistic path has carried him from his early beginnings to the vibrant city of Berlin, where he based himself from 2020 to 2025. Today, he divides his base between Italy and Portugal while still considering Berlin his home. From a young age, Kaiser showed a natural connection to music. Enchanted by the power of electronic sounds and the immersive environments they create, he gravitated toward techno and began refining his craft behind the decks. His talent and dedication quickly caught the attention of the international electronic music scene. Known for a signature sound that blends hypnotic rhythms with driving, pulsating basslines, Kaiser has become a sought-after performer in clubs and festivals across the globe. The energy, precision, and emotional charge of his sets have earned him a loyal following and a respected reputation within the community. Driven by a desire to contribute to the culture he cherishes, in 2017 Kaiser founded his own record label: K S R (Kaiser Sound Records). The label serves as a platform for emerging artists and a home for high-caliber techno releases that resonate with listeners worldwide. Beyond touring and studio work, Gianluca remains deeply connected to the music community, pursuing collaborations, exploring new territories, and continuously pushing his creative boundaries.

Ma Haiping stands as one of China’s most influential electronic and independent musicians, a trailblazer who has carved out a distinct space in the global Techno scene. His music is a seamless fusion of Detroit Techno traditions with Sci-Fi-infused, hypnotic soundscapes, crafting deeply immersive and futuristic tracks that captivate both dance floors and deep listeners alike. A defining moment in Ma Haiping’s career came when his album Chang’e-4 was released on the legendary Axis Records, founded by Techno visionary Jeff Mills. Mills himself lauded the album, recognizing Ma Haiping’s ability to push sonic boundaries while staying true to the genre’s roots. This release not only marked a significant milestone for Ma Haiping but also placed him among a select group of artists who have contributed to one of the most respected Techno labels in history. In 2025, Ma Haiping signed with SOMA Records and released the single "Earthworm," strengthening his place in the global Techno music scene. His impact on the global scene, however, was already in motion years before. In 2013, Ma Haiping made history as the first Chinese producer to release Techno in Detroit—the birthplace of the genre—with his EP The Chinese Connection on Scan 7’s Cratesaves International label. This breakthrough symbolized a cultural bridge between the East and West in Techno, highlighting his deep respect for the genre’s origins while adding his own innovative perspective. Continuing his journey, 2015 saw the release of Crepuscular Rays on Orlando Voorn’s Nightvision label, further establishing his reputation as a producer with a keen ear for atmospheric and driving Techno. In recent years, between 2022 and 2024, Ma Haiping continued to build an impressive discography, releasing EPs such as XX 8, Collapse, Parallel Cycle, Invincible EP, and Artificial Ecstatic. These works found homes on prestigious international labels, including the UK’s Molecular Recordings, France’s Seclusion, and the USA’s Sythetik Sound, further cementing his status as a global force in the underground Techno movement. His music has consistently garnered attention from major industry platforms. Beatport has regularly featured his tracks as some of the best Techno (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic) releases of the month, recognizing his ability to craft intricate, powerful compositions that resonate with both DJs and listeners. Esteemed media outlets such as Groove Mag, Mixmag (UK and Asia editions), and 5 Magazine have also highlighted his work, praising his ability to blend rhythmic intensity with atmospheric depth. Beyond critical acclaim, Ma Haiping’s music has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in the industry. His tracks are frequently played by top international DJs, including Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin, Slam, Ben Sims, Ken Ishii, DVS1, Rødhåd, Kr!z, and Rene Wise. Their support has helped introduce his sound to dance floors across the world, reinforcing his influence in the ever-evolving Techno landscape. His performance footprint has reached the Recombinant Festival in the United States, the Cervantes Arts Festival in Mexico, clubs in Australia, Japan, Panama, El Salvador, and other countries. His music is a journey—one that bridges the past, present, and future of the genre. As he forges ahead, he remains not just a producer but a visionary artist shaping the sound of tomorrow.Their RA profile lists Axis Records, Soma Records, Molecular Recordings, Rotanev and 1 more.“Electronics artist, DJ, producer, modular synth builder and operator based in Brooklyn, NY”

His DJ sets blend percussive sounds with a futuristic essence that simultaneously invite introspection, escape, and connection. Faustin effortlessly morphs through genres, sculpting transcendent moments on the dance floor, each infused with a narrative that feels both bound and uniquely crafted for that instant in time. He has been a favourite fixture on Dutch and international dance floors, including POING CLUB, BASEMENT NY, Draaimolen, Wire Festival, and CLUB RAUM, where he currently holds a residency. Deeply inspired by his heritage and the queer community to which he belongs, Faustin's exploration of mixed cultural identities spans mediums beyond the DJ booth. During his past residency at POING, he curated multidisciplinary club nights; he has also explored sound through visuals in A/V performances, most recently collaborating with Sondi at Kunsthal and WORM Rotterdam. He further delves into collectively redefining, exploring, and remixing cultural heritage through his resident show cccriojo* on Operator Radio.
