Low Ki

Cologne

...

Several years as a record dealer shaped low Ki’s taste of music and idea of DJing. His approach is to be able to fill different rooms with the matching sound, while always testing the boundaries of the crowd’s comfort zone. A strong demand on his mixing enables him to connect the dots between UK influenced Club Music with House groovers, twisted Techno and mesmerising Ambient & Experimental soundscapes.
As part of the Cologne based „Illusion“ Crew he’s pushing Dance and non-Dance events forward since 2016. In addition he started his own project „supersoft“ in 2025, which delves even further into the world of experimental Club- and Listening Music.

Diving from starlit heights to ocean depths, Cousin’s echoes step through tempos and styles while summoning surreal sonic landscapes centered in spacious atmospherics, subterranean bass pressure and rhythmic hypnotisms.

CCL

Berlin

...

While many DJs approach genre and scope adventurously, few are as expansive and unique as CCL. With an incisively technical and uncannily creative approach to mixing, and a ravenous appetite for music of all kinds, they unite the unimaginable. As a DIY festival organizer and record collector, drawing from their experiences in Bristol, the DIY scene of Seattle and the American Midwest, CCL has a unique aﬃnity for fluidity and liminality, weaving music together through distinct narratives that open wormholes between all genres and tempos. From their critically acclaimed radio show liquidtime to their subglow residency at Berlin institution Ohm, to best clubs and festivals worldwide, they showcase their unique take on sonic storytelling with a highly adaptable sense of dancefloor intuition.

Harmonizing and connecting disparate sound into bold and enticing ecosystems is constantly present in their DJ sets–blooming and molting through a plethora of infectious steppers, psychedelic techno, supple house, dusty 80s synths, glittering footwork, psychedelic post-punk guitars, bubbling drum and bass, twisted dub, and all that lies beyond and between.

Alrauni

Germany

...

Growing up surrounded by music, Alrauni's path from guitar in various bands to electronic music naturally shaped his personal approach to sound. When he discovered DJing at 16, he developed a deep connection to vinyl that became the foundation of his artistic expression. The warm character of analog sound continues to influence both his selection process and mixing style, as his sets flow effortlessly through electronic music's different shades. From techno and ambient to breaks and bass: Alrauni treats each performance as sound exploration, where forgotten B-sides meet contemporary elements to create captivating musical journeys.

Steuert

Wuppertal

...

Born into a family of musicians and artists, Steuert's path led from classical piano to techno – a genre that revealed itself as his natural form of expression, further deepened through his time with the Open Ground Crew and their profound understanding of club culture. His approach to DJing resembles storytelling through rhythm, creating moments in which the dancefloor connects with something primal. Although techno forms the centre of his sound, he draws from a wide range of genres to transform individual dancers into a collectively pulsating unity, moving under the spell of hypnotic beats – always in search of the ancient instinct of collective movement.

Loris Erdmann

Bochum

...

Based in Bochum, his connection to electronic music began early, around the age of 12, shaped by the raw energy of drum & bass and dubstep.

For a period, his attention shifted toward hip hop, where he started to lay down an important foundation, influencing the way he approaches rhythm and space in his music today.

Returning to electronic music with a clearer direction, he moved into techno with a focus on dance floor functionality. Over time, that perspective has evolved into a more restrained and deeper sound. His current work is rooted in detailed sound design, with an emphasis on low-end movement.

Rather than creating purely functional club tools, his tracks aim to balance usability with depth—music that works within a dance floor context but also invites a more attentive listening experience
