KAT:10 is a Berlin and Cologne-based DJ duo, building driving sets at the intersection of house and techno. Raised near the Dutch border, Jerôme and Henne were shaped early on by rave culture - from gabber and hardcore to drum & bass and dub - which, somewhat ironically, laid the foundation for their shared love of immersive, slow-burning dance music. Their sets move fluidly across subgenres, blending deep, soulful, and uplifting selections with progressive, techy, and tribal elements, often colored by touches of electro, garage, leftfield, and proggy sounds. Drawn to distinctive groove textures and spacious atmospheres rather than fast drops, their curation spans eras, weaving late 90’s and early 2000s hidden gems with carefully chosen contemporary releases. Rooted in a long-standing friendship, KAT: 10 bring an organic and playful energy to the decks. Going against today’s trends, they aim to shift the focus away from the DJ booth and toward the energy circulating within the dance cyphers. From intimate bars to larger clubs, they’ve played a wide range of venues and collaborated with numerous local collectives across festivals and off-locations.

skathi (FLINTA*TUNES, Red Rocket Festival, Kollektiv Antje) @mfskathi blends house, disco, and garage with a sense of groove and a feel for what keeps a dancefloor moving. With roots in Münster’s @kollektivantje and as a co-founder of @flintatunes , based in Cologne, she’s been shaping spaces for music and community from the very beginning. Whether on vinyl or digital, her sets are driven by warmth, rhythm, and a commitment to creating spaces that feel inclusive, energetic, and genuinely shared.

NUTENRIETH’s sets are invitations: To dance. To dream. To resist. My journey began in the hall of @dasgrossebueffeln Festival, between dreaming, dancing, and with the firm intention of blowing the dust of patriarchy off the bass speakers. My sound moves somewhere between proggy, groovy, dark, acid-infused, and trance-melodic – a bass soup that doesn’t follow rules. Sometimes raw, sometimes playful, sometimes hypnotic, sometimes powerful. I love breaking genre boundaries. Electronic music for me is not a competition, a chart game, or a status symbol. I stand for low barriers, open doors, and a DIY aesthetic, dancefloors where people don’t have to perform, but can simply dance and dream. My sets celebrate the underground over the mainstream, local artists and subcultures. Beyond DJing, I also produce my own music. Slowly outgrowing the beginner days of Ableton, I’ll be releasing my first EP on 06.02.

RUMORE #01 30.01.2026 | 22:00 – Late | Garagen Club Köln @dieschickeria @kat.zehn @mfskathi @nutenrieth * FREE ENTRANCE*

KIMME @dieschickeria is a Cologne-based DJ, music nerd and dedicated member of the @dasgrossebueffeln crew. Digging since the LimeWire days and spinning since 2024, her journey began with homemade mixtapes and has grown into a lifelong obsession with music culture. Her sets carry the same raw curiosity and heart. Always true to the underground spirit and always for the dancefloor. Her sound moves between Techno, Trance and Breaks – driving, raw, and made for the floor. Expect bouncing kicks, deep basslines, and a spirit that values edge over polish and commerce. As a co-organizer of the non-commercial festival Das große Büffeln, Kimme helps shape Cologne’s underground together with Kulturmetronom e.V. The collective stands for DIY energy, solidarity, and dancefloor culture beyond commercial boundaries – a space where attitude matters just as much as bass pressure.

A collective. A party series. A community. RUMORE is about making noise, being heard, shaping community. We are a group of people creating spaces for music, encounter, collective experience. As a party series, we regularly invite you to become part of this evolving movement. As a community, we build on mutual respect, openness, and the desire to shape something together that is greater than the sum of its parts. **you can find more information on the slides❤️**

RUMORE Clubbing can be a holding pause from everyday reality – yes, but not for everyone in the same way or under the same conditions. It is and has always been political: on the floor as much as behind the decks, bar, and in booking decisions. RUMORE aims at creating spaces with lower barriers through affordable or free entry and without specific dress policies. Rooted in DIY aesthetics and a non-commercial approach, we open doors for future collaborations with other art forms, light installations, stage designs and beyond. We seek critical discourse about accessibility, reminding us that there is no unsituated position of view. Working against prejudiced structures remains ongoing. As a starting point, we keep the cis male percentage in lineups below 50%, prospectively lower. We strive to expand our network to include diverse artists and ensure their fair treatment. The small (first) steps are never sufficient or final, especially not from positions of often concealed privilege. —————————————————————

RUMORE stands for progressive, experimental and house-driven dance music. Valuing the unique character of clubbing, we refuse the relentless chase of ever faster, harder, more polished sounds. Instead, we approach the dancefloor as a collective exploration into different ways of being affected and affecting others – through openness to raw material, the intangible in repetition, and the suddenness of breaks, as well as the imperfection of ongoing research. Slow, fast, dubby, diffuse, proggy, tribal, breaky, unexpected, hypnotic – always searching for niches beyond and in-between. The floor is not a concert, competition, or popularity contest, but a space where attention spreads with many points of departure and destinations, no fixed centre. ————————————————————- RUMORE steht für progressive, experimentelle und house-getriebene Tanzmusik. In Wertschätzung des einzigartigen Charakters des Clubbings verweigern wir uns der rastlosen Jagd nach immer schnelleren, härteren, polierteren Sounds. Stattdessen begreifen wir die Tanzfläche als kollektive Erkundung unterschiedlicher Weisen, mitgerissen zu werden und andere mitzureissen – durch Offenheit für rohes Material, die Flüchtigkeit der Wiederholung sowie unvermittelte Breaks, und kontinuierliches Experimentieren. Langsam, schnell, dubby, diffus, proggy, tribal, breaky, unerwartet, hypnotisch – stets auf der Suche nach Nischen jenseits und dazwischen. Die Tanzfläche ist kein Konzert, kein Wettbewerb, keine Ort der Selbstdarstellung, sondern ein Raum, in dem Aufmerksamkeit sich mit vielen Ausgangspunkten und Zielen verteilt, ohne festes Zentrum.

RUMORE **german Version below** At the heart of club experiences lies a diffuse momentum. Sonic chaos, physical expression and noisy gathering – forms of visibility, standing up and exposure. Yet simultaneously, an escape from the uniform rhythm of everydayness, from pressure and stress, into nebulous moments of shared ecstasy. Here, individuality dissolves into a mass that transcends its parts, becoming an atmosphere without fixed form. Forceful yet tender, pulsing yet fluid, intense and yet calm. ——————————————————————— RUMORE Im Herzen von Club-Erlebnissen liegt eine Dynamik ohne feste Richtung. Schallendes Chaos, körperlicher Ausdruck und lärmende Versammlung – Arten der Sichtbarkeit, Aufstehen und Präsenz. Doch gleichzeitig eine Flucht aus dem gleichförmigen Rhythmus des Alltags, aus Druck und Stress, hinein in verschwimmende Momente geteilter Ekstase. Hier löst sich Individualität in einer Masse auf, die mehr ist als die Summe ihrer Teile und wird zu einer Atmosphäre ohne feste Form. Kraftvoll und dennoch zart, pulsierend und dennoch fließend, intensiv und dennoch ruhig.
