Room 1 | Nastia, Low Freq, Thomas Rob

Nastia is a Ukrainian DJ, promoter, producer and label owner, and a rare example of how great success can be achieved solely by DJing, ideas and hard work.

Throughout the years, Nastia's activities have been aimed at promoting Ukrainian culture and artists, which made her the face of the country’s electronic music scene on the global stage. She was a curator and resident of the legendary Kazantip festival, a radio host, and a resident at Moscow’s cult Arma17 club, before co-running her own parties and the long-standing Strichka festival and NECHTO raves. While getting serious about techno, Nastia created labels Propaganda Records and NECHTO. During the pandemic, she supported Ukrainian producers and DJs as the first resident of the Beatport Residency project and released two seasons of her self-authored projects on YouTube. In 2022, due to the war in Ukraine, she temporarily moved to Amsterdam and took an active role in supporting her country.

In addition to her go-to genres house and techno, Nastia is a true fan of jungle and drum and bass music. She is currently the most active touring and popular DJ in the history of Ukraine, performing at key worldwide venues and taking active social and political positions.

Low Freq

Bucharest based Low Freq aka Codin Oraseanu has been present in the local music scene for over 15 years. A music producer, DJ and promoter, he combines elements of bass music with intense industrial synths, continuously searching for ways to explore the sound.

Throughout time, Low Freq played with Blanoz and Shadowbox and, in 2014, put together the Dream Diggers project. You may also know him as the founder of Black Rhino Radio, which launched in 2021 from the nucleus of the same named collective of musicians, promoters and visual artists dedicated to promoting the culture behind the sound.

Thomas Rob

Digging through hypnotics, guided by grooves, Thomas Rob has a bouncy, loopy and well-structured style. He is an important name in the Romanian Hypno-techno scene and a resident of the Sqweez Community. His groove inspires optimism and flow, as well as the necessary “eargasm” to keep crowds locked to the dancefloor from beginning to end.

Room 2 | Covis & Inner

Native of Los Angeles, Clovis is one of foremost underground DJs to rise from the city in the past decade. Half french and half Japanse-American, this confluence of cultures, love of travel, and a good sense of humor have created an ideal candidate for a nomadic DJ lifestyle, a true citizen of the world guided by an unyielding passion for music.

Now also based in Berlin, his musical endeavors are largely centered around Club Der Visionaere, his musical home in the city. His appreciation of American house & techno has never waned, and a constant synthesis of these various styles informs his sets.

Inner, aka Cristian Ghiban, has already lived a varied life within the European house and techno scene. The Romanian-born producer released his first productions in 2008, but after moving to Berlin, he established the Polen label as a vehicle for minimal house and techno that celebrates psychoactive experimentation as much as dancefloor functionality.

Prepare to embrace diversity when he takes to the decks. Sometimes charting a steady, hypnotic course through heads-down, dubby house and techno and other times chopping playfully between 4/4, electro and broken beats, the only constant in Ghiban’s musical endeavors is quality.
