LINEUP:
Fearless in both sound and spirit, DJ and producer CLARISA KIMSKII approaches her craft with undeniable sensitivity. Her sets are instinctive, moulded to the environment and the dancers before her. Kimskii moves through tension, confusion, joy and release with a precise technical command that never loses sight of emotion.
Raw, hypnotic and psychedelic, her sound is rooted in driving techno, punctuated by house, breaks, melodic touches, grit and subtle distortion, with a deep groove laced throughout. Narratives fluctuate in mood and temperature as tracks dissolve into one another, at its core, she explains, is a message to not give up, to keep moving, don’t quit, don’t get stuck.
Her production practice runs alongside this expansive history as a DJ, with releases across Monday Off, Dusk & Haze and Mysteries of the Deep, alongside her own vinyl imprint L.A.G. Now based in Rotterdam, she is turning renewed attention towards production and her forthcoming label Please and Thank You, conceived as a home for her own music and artists she believes in, with an ethos of respect, consideration and consent.
KATALINA SCHWARTZ is a Chilean DJ, producer, and community builder whose sets trace a vivid path through techno, dub techno, deep techno, and electro. With more than a decade in the scene, she brings a sharp, immersive sensibility to the booth—balancing driving rhythms, atmospheric depth, and unexpected turns with a feel for the dance floor’s collective momentum.
A key figure in Chile’s independent electronic landscape, the DAME resident has performed across the South American continent and is stretching her wings in Europe and the USA. She is also the cofounder of Eterna Fiesta, a project centered on exploratory sound, hypnotic visuals, and safer dance-floor culture.
VOLVOX and DOMINGA's near-telepathic intuitive connection has resulted in some of the most bracing techno sets today. Across the globe the name DJ Volvox has become synonymous with surgical mixing technique and a certain square-shooting, take-no-prisoner approach towards dance floor business. Here she joins forces with Sacred Bones artist, model, filmmaker and and globally renowned trans icon, Dominga of the cult band Follakzoid who brings an otherworldly sense of improvisation and encyclopedic music knowledge that reveals the deepest gems from our collective unconscious. Their transportive sets at Whole Festival, Basement or RSO Berlin to name a few have set the stage for a new dimension in techno, one that continues to intrigue with its deep pulsating aliveness.
DAYBREAK is a Brooklyn-based, multi-hyphenate artist, whose passion for the underground music scene blossomed during her time living across Europe and Asia. Her global perspective shines through in every set, blending diverse influences with a cosmopolitan edge that defines her dark, driving technoid sound. As a rising force in the international scene, she has made waves with debuts and radio show features worldwide, sharing airwaves with some of the most iconic names in underground techno. Expect hypnotic, groove-laden sets, where melodic, pulsating rhythms elevate and energize, delivering the transcendent, heady experience you seek in a night out.
JOHANNA CONSTANTINE began DJing in NYC in the early 90’s. A visual chameleon and style icon, countless residencies and sets later she is still mutating. Co-founder the Blacklips Performance Cult and artistic partner to Anohni and the Johnsons, Johanna’s sets reach audiences from Fold London to LA’s Neotropolis festival, Dances of Vice and Synthicide. Expect darkness at the disco in our intimacy room!

the whole biography
Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Clarisa Kimskii has cemented her musical footprint on the borough since moving back in 2022. Through a palpable blend of psychedelic and driving techno, Clarisa’s approach to the genre is deeply idiosyncratic - an assemblage of both timeless and modern grooves. As a producer, Clarisa has contributed to a handful of respected labels (Monday Off, Dusk & Haze, Mysteries of the Deep, etc.) within her sonic niche, but it’s through her own label L.A.G where the ethos of her sound truly takes form - a detailed variation of propulsive and atmospheric soundscapes. Clarisa is deeply rooted in the techno subculture’s underground, and in early 2022 - the 20+ year veteran was named resident DJ of the Brooklyn-based, queer party Merge. Through her former residency at Merge and regular appearances at the city’s premiere institutions in BASEMENT Nowadays and Bossa Nova Civic Club Clarisa’s prestige is undeniably felt. Her pure, yet passionate approach to DJing has graced the decks of memorable nights at international institutions in Berlin's Berghain, Tbilisi's Khidi, and at notably iconic parties in Wrecked, Club Toilet, and The Bunker NY. Recent festival appearances at Taiwan’s Organik Festival and North America’s Honcho Campout, Sustain-Release, Whole Festival , Draaimolen and The Great Beyond have only elevated her reputation as a force within those respective communities. The saga continues with juicy bits on the horizon.Industrial on 1, Techno on 1, Acid on 1 and Minimal Techno on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists L.A.G., Monday Off, On Board Music, Gradient and 3 more.Recently at The Chocolate Factory, Nowadays, Signal · often with Ne/Re/A, Berghain, Ron Like Hell, none of them here on Friday

Volvox is a global leader in the movement for representation of female, queer, trans and nonbinary identities in the techno industry. A dominant figure of New York’s techno renaissance, across the globe the name DJ Volvox has become synonymous with surgical mixing technique and a certain square-shooting, take-no-prisoner approach towards dance floor business. Her parties are the stuff of legend, and her authenticity as a global cultural figure is undeniable. As a member of Discwoman, the all-female DJ crew that transformed electronic music culture over the last decade, she broke ground for more women to rise in the global DJ ranks and inspired countless more to begin in the craft. Having circled the globe more times than she can count, Volvox has turned her sights back on nurturing electronic music culture in her home, the United States. Ariana is now spearheading the construction of a space of inclusivity under the umbrella of a FLINTA-driven event series, simply named FLINTA NYC. Her music-driven program seeks to reinvigorate the techno scene by reviving context and nuance and blending scenes to push Brooklyn nightlife into the next chapter. Ariana is known for tough, stripped-back techno and groovy hypnotic sets that seduce the listener into a maelstrom of emotion. She has been a busy DJ and event producer since 2006 and in that time has shared the decks with many international stars including DVS1, Marcel Dettmann, Ellen Allien, The Hacker, Legowelt and Mike Servito. Raised in Buffalo, New York, her early experiences in the industrial and rave scenes of rust-belt America shaped her outlook on dance culture. An ardent supporter of the underground, she was a key figure in developing the electronic music scene in Boston, Massachusetts from 2007-2010. Breaking out internationally in 2015 she has enjoyed a busy tour schedule including noted appearances at Dekmantel and the ascendant Sustain-Release festival in upstate New York. Since then she tours extensively across Europe and makes regular appearances at Berghain/Panorama Bar in Berlin. She also tours South America and Asia yearly.
