About the Music:

TALISMANN
His music is best described as Black Hole rhythms. For Guy Blanken, music is a matter of the heart, and a boundless playing field for sonic explorations. His compulsive curiosity has led him to unusual corners of the electronic music realm – spawning a multifaceted, yet distinctive discography. As Makam, he has investigated anything from exhilarating club anthems to contemplative downtempo moods. And as Talismann, he is probing ever deeper into the abyss of sinister soundscapes and industrial drum patterns. Talismann is Guy’s darker incarnation. From the moment he delivered tracks like ‘Mars Wars’ and ‘Zula’ (2012), his take-no-prisoner approach has been indisputable. Talismann Records has cemented its position as the home of intense, inky techno and ambient. Moreover, Slagmann, his collaboration with Slagwerk Den Haag, has resulted in one of the most experimental, and arguably most intriguing albums in his oeuvre ‘Krysalis’. Based in Amsterdam, Guy meticulously refines his unparalleled vision forged from over two decades of club expertise through the exclusive KLINIEK events, typically scheduled for Sundays. The story continues.

BJARKI
A blend of un musical blither floating around like a fart cloud with no direction other than what moves around to push him. Whether as cucumb45, Bbbbbb, kid mistik, slurp gurken, icelandic lamb, orange juice man, gurk, q-cumb, holidayboy slurp or simply himself, Bjarki has long since embraced his unpredictable nature. Raised amid a small community in rural Iceland, Bjarki’s influences lay far beyond the usual, tired old tropes of techno. As his numerous aliases suggest, Bjarki rips through the rules and foundations of electronic music with ruthless abandon, producing his own, often absurdist take on the DNA of rave. His notorious live DJ sets integrate and tangle elements of techno, jungle, breaks and IDM, finding unparalleled energy and offbeat soul whenever there’s a pause for breath. In Bjarki’s world, there is room for both blistering gabber and dreamlike, transcendent ambience, two worlds sometimes crashing within moments.As a touring artist, Bjarki has appeared at festivals such as Sonar, DGTL, Dour and Dekmantel, as well as many of the world’s most forward-thinking clubs. As tempos rise, genres splinter and the rave gets weirder still, trust Iceland’s foremost electronic absurdist to keep things truly unpredictable.

DANYA
A newcomer that we are extremely excited to present. Danya started her musical career six years ago in Greece, where she was part of the party series Entropia. In 2021, she relocated to Germany, where she now holds esteemed residencies at PAL (Hamburg) and Bunker Club (Kiel), while also being an integral member of the event series 6D.Her evolution extends beyond the DJ booth, with a dedicated focus on refining her production skills. Her debut solo EP, Self Destructive Mechanism, made waves upon its release on Sine Space 7, paving the way for her subsequent works on labels such as Synergie, Eremit, and her latest release on Casanova Bar Records, available both on vinyl and digitally. Her tracks have earned support from prominent artists, and her DJing skills have led to performances at renowned venues like Tresor (Berlin), Rex Club (Paris), and PAL (Hamburg), to name a few. Danya is fueled by a curiosity for innovation and a desire to push the limits of modern techno in her creations. As a DJ, she aims to provide storytelling sets that reflect her perception of this sound and what it stands for.

ENNIO
ENNIO was never one to be easily pigeonholed as he ceases to concern himself with established boundaries.
ENNIO doesn’t just play — he shifts, mutates, and redefines. A Berlin-based artist with Southeast Asian and Slavic roots, he’s carved out a space where high-velocity club music meets raw emotion and cultural depth. Drawing inspiration from his background, his breakout EP »Scacotteter« (TILT) put him firmly on the map, with tracks like »Gunung Padang« sending shockwaves through dance floors worldwide, championed by some of the scene’s most influential selectors.

Momentum never slowed. His follow-up single »Don’t Stop (Gimme More)« doubled down on his restless energy, pushing his sound into even wilder territories. 2024 saw him contribute »Blok M« to A7A Records’ Lunar New Year Compilation, a project celebrating artists from across the Asian diaspora. That same year, »Bloody Beetroots« (TILT) arrived — another punch to the gut, another anthem for the dance floor.

LO-2C
LO-2C is a Berlin based musical b2b project, consisting of the two artists loco.chanel and 2cozy.Since they met in the underground scene, they create a unique sound that is characterized by fast-paced grooves mixed with hypnotic rhythms and bouncy elements driven by their mission to always deliver extraordinary sets on a top-notch level.

These acts will be joined by residents Oskar Knickelbein, Jin-Su and our great friends over at KEDI BOUNCE!!
