Viola Klein’s records are supremely earthy and astrally inclined. In her DJ sets, she navigates with harmonies through a music selection that combines experimental house from the US Midwest, West African polyrhythms, and music in the tradition of Can from Cologne. Klein was invited to shape the sound of a club night alongside Kampire and Nídia. She has collaborated with Unity Fellowship Church New York, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Ndongo Samba Sylla, the James and Grace Lee Boggs Center in Detroit, Julion De’Angelo, and Whodat.

Gretchen

Wuppertal

...

Gretchen's sets chronicle experimental industrial desires, tread noisy deconstructed precipices, and charge unabashedly through fractured backdoors. They are wrested from pain thresholds; Gretchen's dramaturgy shatters on dark bass escapades, ultimately leaving the club abandoned.
