A key figure behind our vision, our resident and co-founder.
Francesco is one of those figures who has always been there, without you being aware of him.
Starting as a DJ in his early years in Italy, Francesco became interested in hardware synths and
music production soon after moving to Berlin in 2012.
As an Audio Technician at Club Der Visionaere, Hoppetosse, and Tresor since 2018, he has
refined his taste by listening to a diverse range of DJs and live performances. Following up on
his audio engineering studies, he founded his mastering studio, Sweep Audio.
His style floats effortlessly between House, Techno, and Electro.
His live set is an eclectic mix between improvisation and research of the surprise, pushing and
pulling energy to introduce sometimes simple, sometimes intricate sound designs.
Francesco plays without the help of a computer; there is no pre-recorded arrangement. He
firmly believes that techno is a moment, an unreplicable instant made by the performer and the
crowd.
He recently founded ZEL Label with his friends from Basse Frequenze Soundsystem and Mr
Mad Compressor, his more techno-electro side.

Next, we present a young artist bringing a fresh perspective.
Born in Bologna, EVAA grew up surrounded by her mother’s record collection, moving between punk, hip hop, and funk while developing a passion for electronic music and becoming familiar with DJing.
Since early years, she has been immersed in the many cultural realities that Bologna has historically offered, drawing inspiration from them and shaping her own musical taste, gradually developing her personal vision of musical expression.
She has a particular love for dark and acid sounds, exploring and blending different genres ranging from ambient to electro, while always maintaining a groovy sound: a reflection of both the influences of her childhood and her desire to experiment freely through music.

Our scene grows through the people behind it.
Promoters, artists, crowd.
Every choice influences what the scene can become.
We believe in giving time and space to artists we truly stand for, encouraging long-term growth, experimentation, and identity over immediacy.
Our looking back is not nostalgia.
Sometimes, it helps us understand what made something meaningful in the first place.

We welcome back a familiar face, now part of our collective.
Music as a means of confrontation, interaction, and
emotional exchange.
For nearly two decades, dedication and diligent research
have shaped Johnson’s work behind the decks.
Strongly influenced by the sound of the ’90s and fascinated
by the magical rise of electronic music during that era,
Johnson finds great pleasure in exploring a wide range of
musical horizons.
His sessions are designed to captivate discerning listeners,
evoke ancestral emotions, and fully engage both his
audience and dancefloor enthusiasts.

This time we present a promising artist we truly appreciate.
Greta is a 21-year-old young woman whose passion for music has been a defining part of her life. Growing up between Italy, Barcelona, and now Berlin, she has always been surrounded by sounds, stages, and creative energy. Her musical journey began in a small theater in southern Italy, where she often accompanied her mother to work. The hours spent backstage and in the audience became a formative world of their own, sparking a deep and lasting love for music. Classical music has been her home for as long as she can remember. She studied piano, cello, and solfège with dedication, all while developing her vocal abilities—building the foundation for the musician she is today. Beyond her classical background, Greta has always been a dedicated digger and an enthusiastic vinyl collector, constantly exploring new sounds and expanding her musical universe.

Last artist announcement — a joint venture between two studio animals.
OTIS and Francesco Salvadori will perform a B2B with their respective MPCs.
After the full live mix at Hoppetosse, they decided to join again their vision and face new challenges, always a step out of the comfort zone.
Limitations are the fundamentals of creativity — they accepted the challenge to express their vision through a sampler from the early 2000s, to embrace difficulties we’ve overcome nowadays.

We’re pleased to host a familiar and well-known local selector.
Kamyar Keramati is an Iranian DJ based in Berlin.
Kamyar full-spectrum DJ sets are celebrated for crafting distinctive and winding club experiences, blending influences from two contrasting worlds that shape his artistic expression. His unique performances stem from his upbringing in Tehran, Iran, and his artistic development in Berlin, where he has lived since 2014.
Kamyar’s relentless pursuit of new dance-floor experiences captivates audiences, inviting them into mysterious moods and encouraging their thoughts to venture off conventional paths. He achieves this by merging various genres and textures while maintaining a forward momentum, fostering a deep connection between the listener and the essence of his music, which continually inspires his work.
Thematically, his signature sound resonates with darkness, melancholy, psychedelia, and high energy. #kamyarkeramati #mpcbattle #aton #bassefrequenze #zel
