- Carrier live (Modern Love/uk) -

Carrier is the current musical project of British producer and DJ Guy Brewer, a visionary figure known for continually reinventing his sound across the electronic music spectrum. Brewer first emerged in the mid-1990s experimenting with drum & bass, later co-founding the influential duo Commix before moving into darker, textured techno under the alias Shifted and founding the respected label Avian.

With Carrier, Brewer expands his sonic language even further, drawing on elements of drum & bass, techno, ambient, and experimental electronic music. His work blends intricate percussion, atmospheric sound design, and deep bass pressure into immersive, physical compositions that feel both hypnotic and otherworldly.

Carrier’s critically acclaimed new album Rhythm Immortal marks a major artistic milestone, showcasing Brewer’s most detailed and emotionally resonant production to date. The release highlights his ability to push boundaries while crafting a deeply cohesive and forward-thinking sonic world.

- Anna Z live (de) -

ANNA Z is a Berlin-based DJ and producer known for her eclectic, boundary-pushing approach to electronic music. Her sets and productions blend IDM, techno, and breakbeat influences, creating music that is both intellectually engaging and irresistibly danceable. With a keen ear for rhythm, texture, and atmosphere, she crafts tracks that are moody, unpredictable, and full of energy, always balancing cerebral detail with floor-ready grooves.

Her latest release, SPANDAU20 011, showcases this signature style across four tracks, from the IDM-flirting elasticity of Kabeljau to the soulful, Detroit-inspired Fallout, and the breakbeat-infused energy of Your Time, culminating in the forward-thrusting techno pulse of Moist Logic. The record highlights her ability to fuse Berlin grit with melodic richness, leaving a lasting impression on listeners and dancers alike.

- Kittin (Nobody's Bizzness/fr) -

Miss Kittin (Caroline Hervé) is a pioneering force in electronic music, known for her distinctive spoken–sung vocals, sharp lyrical wit, and influential role in shaping the electroclash movement. Rising to international prominence with club classics like “Frank Sinatra” and “1982” — created with longtime collaborator The Hacker — she helped define a new era of edgy, genre-blurring electronic sound in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

As a DJ, producer, and vocalist, Miss Kittin has released acclaimed solo albums such as I Com and Calling from the Stars, and collaborated with artists including Felix da Housecat, Chicks on Speed, Sven Väth, and Antonin Pauquet, cementing her status as one of the scene’s most versatile and forward-thinking creators. Her DJ sets are celebrated for their bold selection, emotional range, and effortless mixing of techno, electro, and left-field electronic music.

With her unmistakable voice and fearless artistic vision, Miss Kittin remains an enduring icon of underground culture and a commanding presence on dance floors worldwide.

Versatile, resourceful, and with an edge of restlessness - elements that shape the limitless possibilities of multidisciplinary artist Spekki Webu. Hailing from the humble city of Delft in The Netherlands, the Mirror Zone head shapes an ever-expanding musical realm where past and present collide. Formed by his involvement within the gabber and tekno movement, Webu cultivates a sound that can be described as persistent and ritualistic. Whether in his DJ sets, live performances, or music productions, he deconstructs time and space with fierce precision and tactility. With a natural tendency to challenge the status quo, his productions found a home on labels such as Amniote, Blue Hour, and Positive Source. Webu can be described as a polymath. His sonic vision is translated through his Mirror Zone label / Optic Portal label. As a composer and sound designer, he traverses multidisciplinary dimensions with his Signal Transmutations AV project and spatial installations presented at places like Lunchmeat, FIBER, De School, and Nxt Museum. High in energy but introspective in spirit, Spekki traverses the crossroads of experimentalism and rhythm in an avant-garde way.


As a DJ, his expertly curated and characteristic sets deviate from the norm, exploring psychoactive strains of leftfield electronics, hypnotic techno and radiant minimalism. Woody92 previously cemented his singular and sophisticated DJ style at a number of clubs and institutions, but is equally respected for capturing the energy and curiosity of audiences in outsider spaces across his native Netherlands, as well as far beyond. His pristine yet unpredictable mixes have already left a unique musical footprint, establishing a quietly defiant reputation as a musical curator with increasingly rare depth and focus. Born in the unassuming town of Delft on the West Coast of Holland, the more radical reverberations from neighbouring city The Hague had a subconscious and eventually more explicit effect on his youthful curiosity and creativity. Woody’s dedication to collecting and reinterpreting electronic music is both parallel and complimentary to his education in art, with a particular interest in graphic design, inspired by aesthetics throughout history and culture. The sum total of these passions manifests in Omen Wapta, a new record label and multidisciplinary platform launched by Woody92 in 2021. Highlighting music and creative projects from an international but close-knit circle of friends and collaborators, Omen Wapta is inspired by communal histories in order to imagine a collaborative future, a “transitory playground for the imagination“ consisting of a broad spectrum of styles, encompassing fashion lines and design as well as sonic artefacts. With the alchemy of Omen Wapta as the beating heart of his overall vision, Woody92 continues to challenge himself and others, fluidly curating a path to creative enlightenment and a patiently earned catharsis, both in the club and inspired by it.
