The need to describe a DJ can often end up in simply losing too many words about something that is difficult to describe with those, because it should be about feeling. In the case of resom, this is definitely the case. After more than 20 years of intense involvement with the moment of being a medium, one thing remains above all: to listen.

Resom doesn't commit to a musical focus or an artistic source of inspiration, let alone a linear story. Her sets are an expression of organic diversity, emotional spaces and atmospheric energy. It's all about resonance, feedback, depth, transparency and honesty, connection and shadows.

Deeply rooted in the vital Amsterdam scene for years, Tammo Hesselink likes to play around with many different rhythms. In terms of both what he makes and what he spins, he is drawn to stripped-back building blocks that allow him to get creative and find new sounds in what he combines. Whether that's the bass-driven swagger of UK sounds or the more psychedelic and loopy end of techno, what he does is mix it all into something unpredictable yet compelling.

When it comes to exceptional DJ's who are deeply rooted in the Berlin queer scene Natascha Kann is amongst the first names that often come to mind. A true dancer's DJ, she effortlessly weaves together warm, complex and driving sounds. Pivoting between early Tech House, US House, Italo and a bit of soulful Techno.

Technique can be refined, and skill can be learned, but impeccable taste is rare and elusive. That’s why Marc Schneider is your favourite DJ’s favourite DJ. For two decades, Hamburg’s Marc Schneider has been a key tastemaker amongst Germany’s electronic music scene, both behind the decks, as well as behind the desk, working at key distributors Container and Word and Sound, as well as running his own Story imprint. A gatekeeper with access to virtually every worthwhile piece of vinyl to enter the country over the past 20 years, Schneider has been collecting his DJ weapons since the heyday of 90s German raves while appearing at legendary parties like Love Parade and the original Tresor club.

Serge’s dedication to music is unparalleled. He’s been a fixture on the Dutch West Coast since the early nineties when he played cult events like The Hague's early Acid Planet parties, as well as holding a local residency where all night long sets were the standard. Musical trends come and go, but quality music always stays and the popularity of the man himself remains: no matter what styles are the flavour of the day, he is a go-to selector loved by seasoned old ravers and excitable young faces alike. He stays true to the ethos of the early days of electro, house, acid and techno. All that mattered was the right attitude and an excitement for groundbreaking tunes with an eye towards the future.
