9999999999 (live)
999999999 are an imposing and inescapable presence at the vanguard of the hard techno scene. In the studio and on stage, the immediacy of uncompromising machine music collides with the unpredictability of improvisation to create an ever-shifting, forward-pushing energetic force.
Aurora Halal b2b Wata Igarashi
Aurora Halal is a producer, DJ, and creator of Brooklyn’s influential Mutual Dreaming party series & the Sustain-Release festival. Aurora has been entering 2022 at full pace, dedicating her energy towards both her sets and productions. Wata Igarashi is one of the leading figures of Japanese techno, emerging from the country’s deep relationship with electronic music.
David Vunk
Barely a gig has gone by in the past quarter of a century where Rotterdam powerhouse David Vunk hasn’t whipped audiences up to a frenzy. Come June, he will prove once again why he reigns as the undisputed king of the Harbour City.
DJ Mell G
Straight outta Hamburg’s underground scene like a post-booty internet meme is producer and DJ Mell G! Pushing all manner of ghettotech, breakbeat, jungle and footwork styles to booty bass, electro and R&B in her sets and productions.
Octo Octa b2b Eris Drew
Dance music has often romanticized the idea of the anonymous artist who quietly lurks in the shadows, but Octo Octa (a.k.a. Maya Bouldry-Morrison) has no interest in hiding who she is. Eris Drew is a DJ, producer and trans ecstatic from Chicago. She runs the T4T LUV NRG recording label with her loving b2b partner Octo Octa from a log cabin in New Hampshire.
Suze Ijó
Hailing from the vibrant harbour city, Rotterdam, Suze Ijó’s love for music was present from an early age and manifested as a dancer/record collector and later on as a DJ and radio host. It doesn’t matter where Suze Ijó takes you, there’ll always be harmony and togetherness.
TAFKAMP
Tipped as being one of Rotterdam’s best kept secrets in Techno, dj/producer ‘TAFKAMP’ moves in mysterious ways and has quickly proven to be one to watch. His name can be found on the line-ups of some of the biggest clubs and events in techno such as Awakenings, Tresor and many others. This is not your average ‘unknown artist’
