Nørbak’s crucial role in today’s techno environment derives from a strong sense of commitment and hard working attitude which he guides towards his musical passion. The Portuguese artist makes use of a thorough knowledge of classic techno and fuses it with modern sound design, the result of which is a signature sound that has seen worldwide support from tier-1 artists and mammoth labels such as Soma Records, Warm Up Recordings and Mord.
 

Electronic dance music and beyond Nuno Costa began his ventures into electronic music in 2008 with his Sinner moniker, and with it he created Warface, a local crew and promoter focused on dubstep, drum ’n’ bass, and UK garage.In 2013 he kickstarted his new project, VIL, focusing mainly on techno.  VIL’s refined taste and set building ability has already earned him a place at some of the best clubs in the country and is a regular presence at many of the country’s festivals as well. 

Fast forward to 2018, where alongside Portuguese artists Temudo and menosdois, he creates Hayes, a collective focused on showcasing the distinct output of its artists through vinyl and digital releases. Already counting with several vinyl releases since its inception and garnering support by some of the biggest name in the scene, Hayes turns out to be one the most promising labels to rise during the pandemic. 

Born and bred in Wuppertal, Sesner has been DJing for the people since his teens.

After moving to Cologne in the late 90s, he has played in most venues of the Domstadt. While loving and spinning many musical genres, he has always had a soft spot for sound system inspired club music from the UK such as Jungle, Drum’n’Bass, Grime, Dubstep or UK Funky – and that is why he founded the Riddim Box crew alongside a fine line-up of other DJs in 2011.

Today, Sesner remains dedicated to Riddim Box and the sounds of the ever-evolving bass music culture around the world.

He has rocked clubs and festival stages across Europe and the US alongside the likes of Hunee, Palms Trax, Elena Colombi and more. Hade also hosts his own regular show on Düsseldorf’s Callshop Radio.
