After almost ten years of experimenting with electronic music, Kessie, originally from London and now based in Leeds, is quietly gaining recognition for her groove-filled, deep, and intricate sets. Being hard of hearing, she has a particularly physical relationship with sound, reflected in her music selections. Kessie's passion for all things weird and wonderful inspires her to continue crafting her signature sound resulting in a unique dancefloor experience. Blistering kicks and atonal synths are key building blocks paired with sounds often leaning towards the looping and cerebral. Even when she adjusts the tempo and showcases her knack for other styles such as EBM, post-punk, and ambient, a sleazy yet hypnotic ringing persists in her mixes. Having performed at venues like Fold, The White Hotel, Berghain, and other esteemed European clubs, expect to see Kessie’s penchant for the raw and cathartic in a dark room near you soon.

Phara spins an intricate, contemporary take on techno while never losing touch with the genre's essence. Influenced by the pioneering sounds of Detroit, Berlin and the UK, as well as post-punk, wave, EBM and electro, he makes compelling, highly personal tracks that ooze energy. 
It is clear Phara's production method is informed by the club and vice versa: the groove and power present on his records move and intertwine in the same fluid motion that he taps into as a DJ.
The fusion of propulsive drum sequences, detuned chords and rumbling bass he fires from what is arguably his favorite piece of gear indeed both recounts and re-imagines the power of classic techno.

Luzie was born in Frankfurt in 1995, fell in love with Offenbach in 2017 and has more or less dedicated herself to house and minimal music. With her residencies at the queer collective 'Mitte der Gesellschaft' and the Flinta collective 'clubcherry', she supports the LGBTQIA+ community in Frankfurt and regularly organizes parties.

With an early release on independent label Ching Zeng, regular appearances all around his hometown Düsseldorf Karmaboy took a fast dive into the electronic music sphere in the early 2010s - all influenced by the Minimal, Post-Dubstep and UK Garage sounds of that time.
The nowadays turned Audio-Engineer is focused on crafting his own sound. Eclectic yet straight to the point. Through his own event series at Salon des Amateurs REWIND and the corresponding monthly radioshow at Callshop Radio he joins functional nerdism with modern glitches.

Influenced by the instrument she learned to play at the age of 10: the drums, AMSL was fascinated by percussive sounds and rhythms from an early age. When she started recording DJ mixes, her sound was mainly influenced by artists from the UK funky scene. Today, AMSL's sets serve a broad, cross-genre field of electronic club music from house to bass, breaks and techno, often with strong percussive, functional elements. AMSL is part of the 8-member DJ crew E.P.I.Q. from Cologne, with whom she has been hosting and curating parties since 2021 besides being strongly affiliated with the Kompakt imprint where she recently released her ‘Connecting The Dots’ compilation.
