Wata Igarashi [JP], Tasha Safari [AZE/DE] & ALISTARM 18++

On Friday, November 20, the Berlin Room becomes a meeting point for three distinct perspectives on techno, moving between the psychedelic, the hypnotic and raw, body-moving, decisive beats. The focus is on the dancefloor, bringing an atmosphere that we know keeps an entire community united through sound.

BERLIN ROOM

WATA IGARASHI [JP]

Few artists meld precision and psychedelia like Wata Igarashi. A leading voice in Japanese techno, he describes his sound as cosmic drama: a precisely engineered fusion of rhythms and spiralling arpeggios. He has released on vital labels like Figure, Semantica, The Bunker NY and his own WIP platform, and his sets are a testament to a singular vision, balancing the physical with an almost otherworldly sense of emotion.

TASHA SAFARI [AZE/DE]

Tasha Safari carries the contrasts of her native Azerbaijan into her Berlin base. Her sound merges the drive of 90s techno with hypnotic, dark textures, and a subtle touch. With releases on Children of Tomorrow and R3volution Uncoded, and appearances at Tresor, Renate, RSO and ÆDEN, she’s been carving out a sound that is unmistakably her own. Her mixes for Hör Berlin and Slam Radio showcase her eclectic, open approach, which we loved at her first Control appearance in 2024.

ALISTARM

ALISTARM is the force behind the Not From Here project, a conduit for uniting people through techno on Romanian ground. His sets are a story to tell, starting with raw, hypnotic grooves that hit the body before captivating the mind. Rooted in a deep love for the genre, he delivers a truly immersive experience that spans from melodic to hardcore sounds.
