Experimental live performances open up the evening, as the night progresses we transition into an open-format party, offering the best of both worlds.

DALO

Also known as Nadia D’Alò, is a Berlin-based producer and live musician originally hailing from Darmstadt. She released music on labels such as Tresor Records, Warning and ESP Institute, crafting a distinct style blending ritualistic drums, industrial percussions, and haunting vocals. Her hypnotic soundscapes keep listeners intrigued, showcasing her bold and confident artistry in the realm of psychedelica.

As part of the duo INIT, she also put out music on labels like Hivern Discs , Lddlm, R.i.O. and Optimo Music performing at venues like Berghain, Robert Johnson and Nitsa Club. Nadias sound has a sinister aesthetic with a stripped-back approach to production. The result is often mysterious and deeply hypnotic.

WD40 (DJ set)

Shay Lerner, aka WD40 will close out the night. With a resume filled with countless raves and DJ sets in the underground scene, she rattles the dance floor with her eclectic mix of diverse music.

Crafting ambitious sets, with a focus on narrative, emotion plays a big role in WD40 performances and selections. Traversing between hazy electronica, atmospheric down-tempo and pulsing peak-time heaters, this will be an open-format set.

Guaranteed to have an eyes shut dance floor moment.

LOU

Immersed in underground dance music and the vibrant queer/alternative scene in China, LOU discovered his exuberant passion for non-binary aesthetics in and beyond music.
His hybrid DJ sets create an alchemical equilibrium of colliding elements, architecting a raw yet refined sonic experience from a place of fierce beauty and obsessive aestheticism. Expect an open format set, which doesn’t limit itself to genre or the tropes of dance music.

MITavec

Berlin based, Bristol transplant MITavec, having cut his teeth played across Berlin at Berghain Kantine & Heimathafen Neukölln in a previous project, is now embarking on a solo venture. Incorporating influences from SUNN O))), Abul Mogard, Kali Malone, Colin Stetson, Lankum and Blackhaine, his live performances envelop audiences in cascading waves of dense sound, heightened by intense lighting, creating an almost apocalyptic ambience.

JoJo & IBKA

JoJo is a Norwegian music producer who specializes in multi-channel sound design. By developing his own Max MSP patches, he has connected live reactive lighting with live music performance. Incorporating various percussive instruments, such as the Djembe drum, to create a unique sound and visual experience, singular to each live show.

Teaming up with IBKA, a Swedish producer and performer who specializes in hardware-focused live setups, they combine both their expertise to form a dynamic duo. Their focus is on fusing an ambient yet rhythmic journey.

NEARAT HAMETIFIM

Only Fan by Nearat Hametifim
Act 1
Scene 1
A room, night time, a bed. Soft lighting, noisy quiet.
In this scene, Nearat Hametifim offers a glimpse into intimate moments that flicker between girlhood and womanhood, between a woman and a demon.
Only Fan is a mesmerizing journey into the depths of creativity and imagination. Draw inspiration from Hebrew letters, mystical ancient texts, and poetry. Using the sonic abilities of words, storytelling, and the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep.
