RUSH Presents: Funk Tribu Day-and-Night takeover on Oct. 17
Funk Tribu takes over Knockdown Center's Ruins and Main Hall for a day-into-night RUSH marathon, joined by Afem Syko, Innamorati, Supergloss, LOVEFOXY, Ksenyeah and x3butterfly.
Colombian-born DJ Funk Tribu makes his RUSH debut on October 17. Known as a key architect of modern high-impact, groove-oriented trance, he leads the charge alongside an allstar cast.
Outside, he’s joined by Berlin’s LOVEFOXY as well as two of NY's best: x3butterfly and Ksenyeah. LOVEFOXY balances riotous club energy with a raw and direct energy that can go head-to-head with the most potent warehouse sounds. x3butterfly and Ksenyeah are unmissable presences; each pushes their own unique visions that are as adventurous as they are slamming. At the center of it all, Funk Tribu delivers a set that’s specially-tooled for the open air stage.
Inside, darkness takes hold as the program turns towards the shadows. In addition to a second headlining set from Funk Tribu, Afem Syko, Innamorati and Supergloss step up. Syko is best known for his ruthless touch; his breakout "RAS1" on the R Label Group is one of the most twisted examples of large-scale techno to be unleashed in the last five years. X-IZE founder Supergloss captures a unique blend of throttling techno and euphoric trance. Innamorati is the new duo of j:drive and TRIPS. Proving to be greater than sum of their parts, Innamorati tunnels straight to the core.

“Supergloss quickly conquered the modern electronic music scene with her sincere and melodic sound.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Supergloss quickly conquered the modern electronic music scene with her sincere and melodic sound. Inspired by the acid and trance of the 90s and 00s, Lina not only borrows key elements of the rave sound but also reinterprets them, giving them a fresh look and a modern sensibility. Her music combines sensuality and drama expressed in pads and leads with the fighting character of the 303 acid synth, which completely reflects her persona - strong, but gentle. In a short time, Supergloss has not only found her audience but also become a significant figure in the European electronic scene. She skillfully balances between festival and club sounds, without limiting her creative potential to genres. Supergloss's first solo release was a double EP "Space Office", released on January 17 2025, on the legendary trance label from 90s - Noom Records. This debut was not only a great achievement for Lina but also a kind of manifesto of devotion to the sound of acid trance. In April 2025, a sequel followed - "Space Office (Part 2)", which expands the sonic palette of the original, adding retro-futuristic soundscapes, 90s atmosphere, and pulsating energy of techno. However, the first release in her career was a vinyl collaboration with producer Omon Breaker - "Visual Freak" EP, released in May 2024. This was the first step in their joint work, and the continuation was not long in coming. Their next release, the EP "Programmed Destiny", was released under the new duo Escape on Tape, combining their influences from the past. Supergloss continues to develop her career, performing at festivals and club venues all over Europe, and her music resonates with listeners who appreciate sincerity, melody and deep emotion in electronic music. Alongside the development of her own artistic career, Supergloss has begun to focus on the cultural side of the scene. In August 2025, she launched her new label, X-IZE - a project that both reinterprets and celebrates the spirit of 90s rave culture. The label draws inspiration from the musical and visual heritage of old Berlin. X-IZE is not just about releasing records, it's about building a cultural movement that boldly declares: “real rave is still alive.”Recently at Industry City, 99 Scott Ave, 100 Sutton Studios · often with WILDERÍCH, Serafina, EMILIJA, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Heavily influenced by innovators such as Throbbing Gristle and Floorplan, their productions encapsulated sounds that were inspired by the UK and Detroit, and were complimented with live spoken word. After moving to Berlin in 2016, they transitioned from performance art to DJing, where their sets on HÖR facilitated their breakthrough as a DJ. Having drawn inspiration from early industrial and techno pioneers, x3butterfly’s sets retain a raw and ominous quality, with a club twist. Prioritizing the eclectic, they often aim to take listeners on a story-telling journey while simultaneously keeping them on the dance floor. Their sets combine jungle, drum and bass, R&B, dubstep, techno, and other world sounds at 140-160 BPM. x3butterfly has played in various clubs in Mexico, Germany, Denmark, Greece, as well as a multitude of cities in the US. They have quickly become a rising NYC star, DJing notorious NYC venues such as Bossa Nova, Mood Ring, and Nowadays.
