WALLIS

Wallis is a Berlin-based techno producer, DJ, label founder and mastering engineer. Through an arsenal of synthesizers, effects and experimental studio techniques, she crafts confrontational, urgent techno that constantly oscillates between different motifs and atmospheres.
Described by promoter and podcast series The Brvtalist as "one of the most dynamic emerging artists on the global scene", she has released a steady stream of mixes on platforms such as Boiler Room, Possession, Reclaim Your City, Hate and many others. She has launched her own label Jell and released her productions on various established labels such as Possession and R-Label.
So it's only logical that Wallis has already had the opportunity to survey the best booths in Berlin clubs: Berghain, Tresor and Griessmühle, to name but a few. Resident at the Trauma Bar for the Floorgasm evening, she naturally plays all over Europe and beyond.

VEL (live)

Vel is a moroccan artist, dj, electronic music producer and engineer based in France.

When she left her native Rabat for Lyon at the age of 18, Vel was studying to become an engineer. But one night turned her life upside down: she encountered techno music for the first time at Le Sucre, and it was love at first sight. She fed passionately on the club culture, until she formed a band where she allowed herself to soar, becoming Vel. Rhythmic, textured Techno, the artist's sound radiates through drums she summons from her memories, heavenly whispers and fragile voices: the divine feminine emanates from every pulsating vibration she emits. During her sets, Vel knows no gender limits, and is always ready to hit hard, defying borders and BPMs.

VALERIE ACE

Valérie Ace is an electronic music DJ and producer currently based in Düsseldorf, Germany. She made a name for herself with her debut EP Glitzer VS Hass, released in early 2022 on SPFDJ's vinyl label Intrepid Skin. Two further releases have since followed on MaMa Told Ya, Anetha's label, and Mala Adh, Céli's label. More recently, Valérie Ace launched her own Hardwon label and played her first Boiler Room in Berlin.

Valérie Ace began her musical journey as a teenager, playing electric guitar in an experimental rock band, and spent much of her twenties at art school, where she turned to a more electronic sound. In the studio, Valérie Ace enjoys experimenting and creating her own sonic and aesthetic designs. She has explored electronic instruments from her first oscillator to complex modular synthesizers.

DEXTEROUS MANIPULATOR

A Spanish artist, Alejandro started DJ-ing at the age of 14 and never stopped. His influences are many and pure, thanks to his age and his contemporary knowledge of techno at all its stages of development. His technical experience, accumulated over the course of sound technology transitions and his career, makes him an invaluable element in today's scene.

Today, Dexterous Manipulator is the bearer of a techno that is becoming rarer, a techno that is faithful to the movement's original artistic intentions. Its roots lie in the confluence of Detroit and Berlin, thanks to artists such as Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Derrick May and Moritz von Oswald. Through his DJ-ing and production work, Dexterous Manipulator sets his sights far afield, giving full rein to the technical and creative exploration of sound, under the influence of legendary labels such as Basic Channel, Underground Resistance, Tresor and Kanzleramt. Attentive to the dogmas of techno without absorbing their rigidity, Alejandro is a flexible and creative DJ, faithful yet explosive, who moves in music, his natural element. A fan of raw and hypnotic techno, as well as dub techno, Alejandro knows how to adapt to many registers, and surprises with his technicality and diversity of taste. Hard-working, meticulous and constantly questioning, he produces and performs with a professionalism worthy of the greatest.
