Lacchesi is back, this time to headline FIST. The Mama Told Ya affiliate brings a distinctly French twist to heavy, floor-filling techno. His productions are defined by their subtly cinematic scope; a classic Lacchesi track starts in the realm of pure techno before blooming gradually into something grander and more breathtaking. He’s never one to shy on emotional impact, while maintaining a hard-edged rigor that is in line with the classics of the late ‘90s. Nene H returns. The Turkish-Azerbaijani artist has become revered as an undefinable, unstoppable creative force in modern club music. This year, she released “Second Skin,” a major milestone and a creative breakthrough. Speaking on the record, Nene describes “an enduring infatuation with the emotional complexity of sound,” and this sense of enamored curiosity permeates the entire work. It’s a thrill from start to finish. “I’m experimenting with sound,” she said in an interview. “That is where I find true freedom and I can be my full self.” Residents Word of Command and DJ Clone handle the rest of the program. True wildcards, their relentless dedication to the intersection of raw power and subversive strangeness has made them guiding lights in the US underground.
Jubilee joins, bringing a taste of Florida to STUDIO. The Magic City label founder is a renowned proponent of modern electro, grime, dancehall and more. A truly audacious DJ whose selections brook no quarter, Jubilee has spent the last decade-plus setting off countless parties and leaving innumerable dancefloors in a state of sweat-soaked delirium. Mez Monty joins from LA. A true house DJ through and through, Monty embraces the hallmarks of the genre: diva vocals, euphoric builds and infectious grooves. He’s fully established in his hometown’s thriving club underground, helping to maintain and grow a queer nightlife culture that is currently undergoing a renaissance. Connor Wrong adds an unexpected twist. No genre is off-limits, and Wrong weaves between the outer limits of psy, house, bass, grime and many more.

Who they are
“From a young age, Lorenzo Lacchesi was immersed in music.”
their own biography
the whole biography
From a young age, Lorenzo Lacchesi was immersed in music. Growing up surrounded by CDs, thanks to his parents working at Philips, he explored everything from rock to jazz and classical. As a teenager, he studied piano, played bass in various bands, and discovered electronic music at 15, drawn by the French Touch movement. After high school, Lorenzo pursued sound engineering, worked at Radio France, and co-founded his first techno label, Péché Mignon, with friends. Becoming Lacchesi, his focus shifted to warehouse techno. His first major bookings came through the Parisian scene where he refined his industrial and rave-influenced sound. During this period, he co-founded his second label, Maison Close, a platform for emerging talent with an eclectic and hybrid musical vision. Lacchesi’s sound balances minimalist techno with trance, taking cues from artists like Regent, The Advent, Mathys Lenne, Rrose, Helena Hauff, Spekki Webu, W92. Known for his fast-paced, high-energy DJ sets, he crafts introspective journeys with jittery melodies, minimal grooves, and experimental elements. His productions, however, span a broader spectrum, from hard-hitting techno and uptempo beats to glitchy IDM and ambient soundscapes. Lacchesi has released music on labels like Mama Told Ya, EXTRA ENERGY, Matière, BCCO, and Bipolar Disorder. His own label, Maison Close, has seen him release tracks on various compilations, as well as two LPs: P*NK (2021) and Based On A True Story (2024). He remains a prominent figure in the scene, consistently surrounded by close-knit circle of friends like Mac Declos, Kuss, and more recently, Vel. His standout remix of Baraka’s track «Half Faces» has racked up nearly 2M listens. In early January 2026, he released the split EP High & Dry with close collaborator JKS, jointly issued on Maison Close Records and Smile Sessions. 2025 marked a pivotal year, with Lacchesi touring extensively across the globe and performing at major festivals including Monegros, Pitch, ADE – Into the Woods, Nuits Sonores… Following a widely acclaimed SECTION mix, he was also announced as a resident DJ for London’s Tech Couture parties. Lacchesi’s love for loops and his relentless pursuit of harmony drive his high-octane, multigenre sets. Known for creating intense, rollercoaster-like journeys, he builds tension to the point where the body can’t take it anymore, only to offer a full, euphoric release. His performances are wild and fiery, embodying his Mediterranean energy, Italian temperament, and playful humor. Curious about everything (people, sounds, and experiences), he brings an infectious energy to the club, leaving the dance floor in a frenzy. Lacchesi thrives on resilience, laughter, and sweat, always pushing the limits to deliver unforgettable moments.Their RA profile lists Bipolar Disorder, Mama told ya, KR Records, EXTRA ENERGY and 1 more.Recently at public records, Refuge, BASEMENT · often with Laure Croft, KYRUH, Elvin, none of them here on Friday
“Nene H is an artist in constant motion.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Nene H is an artist in constant motion. Shaped by her Turkish-Azerbaijani heritage, a conservatory education in classical piano, and an enduring infatuation with the emotional complexity of sound, her music is an evolving force tethered to both instinct and precision. Whether in the club or on stage, Nene H’s output unravels, reforms, and leaves a mark that’s hard to name but impossible to forget. After a period of intense self-inquiry, 2025 signals a sharp pivot for Nene H. A chapter defined by a hyper-focussed refining of sound, while retaining her signature elasticity. Her newest work doesn’t simplify; it distills, honing the emotional and rhythmic tensions that have always driven her sound. On stage, that focus splinters into immersive, shape-shifting performances. From her monumental 8-hour live improvisation at STOOR to her choral collaborations for CTM with The National Choir of Georgia, and Dekmantel with the Dutch Opera, Nene H continues to push the limits of form, without losing sight of feeling. Rooted in Berlin for over a decade, she has become a vital presence in the city’s queer underground not only as an artist, but as a cultural amplifier, championing SWANA, Muslim, and femme perspectives in spaces where they’ve long been overlooked. As a producer, her catalog spans labels such as Standard Deviation, Intrepid Skin, Live from Earth, and Incienso, the latter releasing her starkly intimate debut album Ali علي. Her forthcoming second album, Second Skin, deepens her commitment to radical vulnerability: a sonic reckoning with identity, grief, and selfhood, written in the midst of six months of personal and emotional upheaval.Their RA profile lists Bedouin Records, Incienso, Intrepid Skin, Live From Earth and 3 more.Recently at Superior Ingredients, BASEMENT, public records · often with Chippy Nonstop, VINVAR, SALOME, none of them here on Friday
