LINEUP:
Fearless in both sound and spirit, DJ and producer CLARISA KIMSKII approaches her craft with undeniable sensitivity. Her sets are instinctive, moulded to the environment and the dancers before her. Kimskii moves through tension, confusion, joy and release with a precise technical command that never loses sight of emotion.

Raw, hypnotic and psychedelic, her sound is rooted in driving techno, punctuated by house, breaks, melodic touches, grit and subtle distortion, with a deep groove laced throughout. Narratives fluctuate in mood and temperature as tracks dissolve into one another, at its core, she explains, is a message to not give up, to keep moving, don’t quit, don’t get stuck.

Her production practice runs alongside this expansive history as a DJ, with releases across Monday Off, Dusk & Haze and Mysteries of the Deep, alongside her own vinyl imprint L.A.G. Now based in Rotterdam, she is turning renewed attention towards production and her forthcoming label Please and Thank You, conceived as a home for her own music and artists she believes in, with an ethos of respect, consideration and consent.


KATALINA SCHWARTZ is a Chilean DJ, producer, and community builder whose sets trace a vivid path through techno, dub techno, deep techno, and electro. With more than a decade in the scene, she brings a sharp, immersive sensibility to the booth—balancing driving rhythms, atmospheric depth, and unexpected turns with a feel for the dance floor’s collective momentum.
A key figure in Chile’s independent electronic landscape, the DAME resident has performed across the South American continent and is stretching her wings in Europe and the USA. She is also the cofounder of Eterna Fiesta, a project centered on exploratory sound, hypnotic visuals, and safer dance-floor culture.


VOLVOX and DOMINGA's near-telepathic intuitive connection has resulted in some of the most bracing techno sets today. Across the globe the name DJ Volvox has become synonymous with surgical mixing technique and a certain square-shooting, take-no-prisoner approach towards dance floor business. Here she joins forces with Sacred Bones artist, model, filmmaker and and globally renowned trans icon, Dominga of the cult band Follakzoid who brings an otherworldly sense of improvisation and encyclopedic music knowledge that reveals the deepest gems from our collective unconscious. Their transportive sets at Whole Festival, Basement or RSO Berlin to name a few have set the stage for a new dimension in techno, one that continues to intrigue with its deep pulsating aliveness.


DAYBREAK is a Brooklyn-based, multi-hyphenate artist, whose passion for the underground music scene blossomed during her time living across Europe and Asia. Her global perspective shines through in every set, blending diverse influences with a cosmopolitan edge that defines her dark, driving technoid sound. As a rising force in the international scene, she has made waves with debuts and radio show features worldwide, sharing airwaves with some of the most iconic names in underground techno. Expect hypnotic, groove-laden sets, where melodic, pulsating rhythms elevate and energize, delivering the transcendent, heady experience you seek in a night out.


JOHANNA CONSTANTINE began DJing in NYC in the early 90’s. A visual chameleon and style icon, countless residencies and sets later she is still mutating. Co-founder the Blacklips Performance Cult and artistic partner to Anohni and the Johnsons, Johanna’s sets reach audiences from Fold London to LA’s Neotropolis festival, Dances of Vice and Synthicide. Expect darkness at the disco in our intimacy room!
