15 June – Maceo Plex (SOLD OUT)

Maceo Plex, aka Eric Estornel, was born on 22 February 1978 in Miami and is one of the most outstanding electronic music producers and DJs of his era. Under various pseudonyms, such as Maetrik and Mariel Ito, he has earned an international reputation as a versatile musician. His music, characterised by catchy melodies, deep basses and complex arrangements, reflects his unique ability to blend influences from different genres. His talent was quickly recognised and he became a prominent figure in the electronic music scene. In addition to his successful producing career, Maceo Plex is active as a sought-after DJ at festivals and clubs around the world, and his influence on the scene remains undisputed. FKA.m4a, another outstanding DJ in the line-up, has established himself as a musical beacon in Berlin’s worldwide music scene. In his sets, he cleverly combines Italo disco, powerful house, hi-NRG beats and psychedelic techno to create a versatile and engaging listening experience that radiates warmth and excitement.

20 July – Desiree (SOLD OUT)

Originally from South Africa, DESIREE has gained a reputation for her impressive ability to cleverly combine different musical styles in her stirring DJ sets. Although known for her love of African-inspired house, DESIREE isn’t limited to this style and prides herself on her versatile musical tastes. Anyone who has seen her live will attest to her impressive skills and impeccable music selection. Her repertoire ranges from deep house to techno to soulful sounds and irresistible African vibrations. In June 2022, she released her debut EP ‘Femme Tech’ on Jackie Queens’s Bae Electronica label. This was followed by a remix of ‘Pussy Power’ by Keinemusik (feat. Nomi Ruiz). She is complemented by Daughter In Law, another talented DJ who lives music in a way that few Swiss artists do.

14 September – Colyn

Dutch-born DJ and producer Colyn ignites emotions through an artful fusion of layers and the sublime sounds of nostalgia. In the midst of distorting and dissolving everyday reality, Colyn manages to create a journey between space and time with his sets. His unmistakable sound evokes dizzying, nostalgic memories. Each track is a cascade of endless textures, with delayed synth stutterers giving way to euphoric grooves, each more infectious than the last. With Read the News, two more up-and-coming artists take to the decks. Their passion for melodic house and techno is reflected in their own productions – though, of course, they also draw inspiration from a wide range of other genres.
