Pioneer, Icon, Mogul, and Renaissance man are all words that describe Louis Burns a/k/a Lil Louis. An international Artist, Producer, Songwriter, DJ, Author and Director, Lil Louis is credited as being the Founding Father of House Music.
As the son of the late great Blues artist Bobby Sims, music became essential in Louis’s adolescent life when at age 8 he begin to play the drums and bass. In 1974, while working at a party organized by his mother Mary to unite Chicago gangs, Louis was asked to play after the DJ fell ill. The acclaim from the crowd birthed the 12-year-old’s career as a DJ, and by many accounts, the birth of House music. Shortly after, he began DJing at adult nightclubs. It was during a police raid at the River’s Edge club, that Louis was given his now renowned stage name “Lil Louis” from a riled, witty police officer.
Moritz von Oswald: techno legend, electronic pioneer. One half of both Basic Channel and Maurizio, von Oswald is one of the most influential producers of electronic music in the last three decades. Firmly entrenched in the modern history of forward-thinking music, he is available to book either playing solo or for special projects and commissions, such as Moritz von Oswald Trio and Borderland (with Juan Atkins). In 2021, his Moritz von Oswald Trio (now counting with Laurel Halo and drummer Heinrich Köbberling) released the album "Dissent" on Modern Recordings.
Agnes‘ vinyl-only sets are atmospheric, with distorted and driving elements and transition into driving Techno. They are characterized by old and new techno tracks, with influences from Detroit and industrial.
Having spent much of her youth deep in Cologne’s techno scene while staying connected to Georgia’s electronic music culture, Mariami brings a blend of both influences to her sets—carefully built, emotive and textured.
Since 2021, she has been part of the Brutalism label, where she also curates events across West Germany.
Her sound is subtle yet forceful, emotional yet controlled. Long transitions and contrast-driven selections define her approach, moving fluidly between atmospheric rhythms and heavier, percussive elements.
Sonae hat keine Scheu vor komplexen Themen, verhandelt sie in mehrstündigen Live-Sets für den Dancefloor, wo sie zweifellos hingehören. Es ist Musik, die trotz clubtauglicher Strukturen nicht nur funktioniert, sondern etwas will, irritiert, eine eigentümliche Sogwirkung hat. Gebilde aus Knistern, geisterhaften Klangfragmenten, Sirenen und Glocken, denen längst die Stimme versagt hat, zeternde Störgeräusche, klapperndes Kleinzeug, zusammengehalten von einem unmissverständlichem Beat—Stolpertechno.
