Eine typische Performance von DJ Pete ist stets eine Mischung aus Programmierung, Sequenzierung, Layering und Live-Effekten, die weit über die reine Präsentation von Tracks hinausgeht. Hinter den Decks genießt er großen Respekt für seine individuelle, zugleich präzise Mixing-Technik, sein enzyklopädisches Wissen über die Geschichte des Techno und seinen unstillbaren Hunger nach neuen Sounds. Seine energiegeladenen Sets beinhalten ebenso Elemente von purem Techno wie kraftvolle House-Tracks. (Aus dem Englischen übersetzt)
DJ Nobu ist ein außergewöhnlicher DJ, der sich nicht auf einen Stil beschränkt, sondern aus einer Vielzahl musikalischer Welten schöpft, um einen einzigartigen Klangraum zu schaffen, den nur er erzeugen kann. Für Kenner seines DJings ist er mehr als nur ein DJ und gilt als Kultfigur. Seine rund 20-jährige Erfahrung spiegelt sich in seinen etablierten Partys Future Terror, seinem Label Bitta sowie zahlreichen Aufnahmen und Mixes wider, die ihn mit einer treuen Fangemeinde verbinden. Im Laufe seiner langen Karriere hat sich seine Musik stetig weiterentwickelt und ihm den Ruf eines der vielversprechendsten Selector weltweit eingebracht – flexibel und ständig im Wandel.

Slikback (real name: Fredrick M Njau) is an electronic producer from Nairobi, Kenya mainly focusing on experimental music, noise, bass and high intensity rhythms. Over the years his sound has morphed into various forms all meant to be an expression of different ideas and emotions. Unbound by any specific thing, his unique blend of sounds can be found in his multiple releases.
“Attrition" (July 18, 2025) marks his first full-length album for Planet Mu, delivering an immersive melding of cinema and game sound design with tough dance music, drawing on elements of Gqom, Dubstep, Tech-Step, and Hardcore Techno. It's like a sci-fi film for the ears, exploring a chain of events with dark atmospheres and dramatic pacing; trapdoors and auditory jump scares. A standout moment in Slikback’s career, "Attrition" is a masterclass in sound design and vision. Strange yet beautiful, intense yet rewarding.
DJ Pete combines highly individual yet refined mixing skills with both his vast encyclopedic knowledge of electronic music history and an unquenchable thirst for new sounds that carry the potential to push all boundaries across linnovations in sound. Expect everything from Vintage Aphex Twin to 2025 U.K. bass heavy mutations via Berlin and Detroit.
Japan’s DJ Nobu is one of a kind; a DJ with no fixed style but instead a very real ability to draw on a wide world of music and cook up his own unique sound spaces. His decades of experience has slowly but surely turned him from being one of Japan’s, to one of the world’s, most indemand selectors who is famously flexible and ever evolving.
In the Annex - HYPER REAL lands in Wuppertal! The brainchild of Berlin-based DJ and curator Opium Hum, it's a traveling club series and thriving online community that's been championing bass-heavy music from the margins for over a decade, prior editions of the party taking place at clubs such as Bassiani in Tbilisi or RSO in Berlin and Fuchs2 in Prague – now making its debut at Open Ground.
Berlin-based selector, journalist and organizer Bensleia opens the night with her fearless cross-genre approach, moving effortlessly between Amapiano, UK Garage, Jungle and beyond. Kenyan heavyweight Slikback will bring his relentless, visceral take on industrial bass to Annex - think Grime meets Drill meets Deconstructed Club at 160+ BPM. He has been turning heads since his Nyege Nyege days and is now releasing on Planet Mu and collaborating with titans like Brodinski and Skrillex, while never softening his abrasive, experimental edge. Closing it out will be a very special b2b between Opium Hum and Dutch selector and Rinse FM resident Nala Brown, two masters of cross-genre selection joining forces for what promises to be an absolute masterclass in boundary-smashing DJing.
This one is a must for the bass addicts, the crate diggers and the genre agnostics who see the dancefloor not as escape, but as a labyrinth of musical multitudes!
