Eliyo is Ali Sarı’s electronic musical project. Ali started composing electronic music (with the support of Kanto Family, more specifically Netam ) with his instruments, that he invented during the long confinement of 2020. In Eliyo project, we will hear his musical universe inspired by the forms of festivity. His music reflects the taste of Kanto Records and the electronic music festivity called Baajar. Eliyo aims to create his own style without limiting himself to already existing musical genres. Besides musical production, Ali is a PhD candidate in musical production and exile in the Political Science Department at EHESS University.

Mogli – an almost naked boy deep in the jungle. This first association is merely accurate. Influenced by his varied surroundings a creature is born so diverse that is it hard to define. The musical array captures elements from Downtempo to Goa with a heavy focus on hard techhouse. Where exactly this musical journey is going, is yet to be determined. Dwellers of the jungle are embarking on an never ending and constantly evolving story.

Known for her energy blasting stage presence and ability to blend contrasting sonics into an irresistible whole, Giz invites listeners and groovers to travel with her, and arrive collectively as she creates a journey and holds space for us all. Her flow is full of energizing surprises, bringing a range of eclectic sounds with some fat bass, gritty surprises thrown in which will make you close your eyes and remember why and where music changed your life for good. She already made regular appearances in some of the most mighty clubs and festivals in and around Germany like Kater Blau, Watergate, Sisyphos, Bahnwärter Thiel, Garbicz Festival, Fusion Festival, Bucht der Träumer Festival, while having played throughout most of Europe as well as South and Central America.

Mâi is a Berlin/Istanbul based musician/producer/live act. It is a musical mirror to his journey, evolves and changes slowly through time. He believes blending the old and the new is what creates a universal language, capable of connecting people through cultures and unity of feelings. Mâi composes music by mingling the traditional sounds of Middle East to organic percussions, groovy bass lines breathing in a mystic synth-scape, occasionally ornamenting with his soulful improvisations on the keyboard. It doesn’t stick to any existing genre while always keeping a signature oriental essence.

Baris K’s been a leading force in Istanbul nightlife since the late 90’s. Born in Istanbul to an ideal environment to trigger his innate potential for music. His father, being an amateur Turkish Classical musician collecting records of varied genres, from traditional Turkish music to Euro disco, Mediterranean pop to New Wave created a wide spectrum of sounds from orient to occident. He started DJing in Istanbul while also working as a waiter in 1996, Back then he played 7 days a week, 12 hours a day.. Around the same time he started working at Istanbul’s first indy record store, label, organization company and the distributor Kod Muzik, where he joined forces together with late DJ fellow, Ismet. Baris is also one of the two core members of the Istanbul based live folk fusion project, Insanlar. Their first 12” vinyl release, “Kime Ne”, came out on Barış’ own made label Aboov Plak in December 2013 and later on Honest Jon’s. Their improv live shows have been featured in top festivals like CTM, Sonar, Garbicz and will make its way to Dekmantel this year. Baris keeps on playing his signature blend of house, techno, disco and psychedelic dance music in top clubs and festivals around the world.

Shahrokh Dini formerly known as Shahrokh Sound of K, has made himself known as a DJ since the early 90s. His DJ sets move with the class of an experienced performer seamlessly Deephouse but a travel to Detroit and via Disco back to modern-day vibes, as a whole always reminiscent of soulful and deep roots but with refreshingly contemporary facets. He likened to-a chameleon by fellow musical peer!

Born and Raised in New Zealand playing music since childhood within a very musical family and in 2014 left the shores of Aotearoa with his sights set on Berlin. Once in Berlin, within a few days he had met locally based musicians and was busking on the streets. All the experiences, interactions and moments that were to follow all came from playing guitar. The guitar was his tool to show people who he was and it led him to meet some of his closest friends and took him around the world on multiple musical journeys. From small bars around Germany singing his own material to playing bass for an Israeli rock band and touring Israel and Central Europe to performing in front of thousands of people at many different festivals. For the first few years Harry focused on his singer/songwriter project writing songs and performing around the city as well as working as a session guitarist for different artists including: Georgie Fisher Steph Grace Alice Phoebe Lou Olmo Thor Rixon Cesar B Alice Hills & Liv Summer. He released an EP titled Left Behind in 2019 which he considered to be the pinnacle of his singer/songwriter project as he drew that chapter to a close and started venturing into the realm of electronic music.The journey from Blues & Jazz into the scene of electronic music was long but eventually it led him to where he is now a multi instrumentalist producer & performer.

With his untiring production effort, Zigan Aldi offers a very danceable choice of minimal-techno. Originally from Turkey, the Berlin based producer and DJ Zigan Aldi leans towards electronic-instrumental crossover, melodic techno and deep house. He has a unique ability to combine a compelling bass-line with handmade acoustic music which result in what he calls “Organic Sound”. While his own “Organic Sounds” fade in and out, magical atmospheric moments arrives with the melody that melts in the techno beats and takes you on an introspective trip. He is releasing on Bedouins imprint True Colors, and other labels like Underyourskin Records, Acker Records, 3000 Grad Records and he is co-founder of Kamai Music.

He was influenced by Ancient Viking tales, psychedelic rock ’n’ roll, a touch of funk and tropical reggae rhythms. Combining ancient & modern instruments, mystical vocals & deep bass lines, Kalaha Moon is a live band that delivers a fresh outtake to electronic music. Crafted purely through senses of intuition, their unique vibe came alive during their debut concert at Garbicz Festival 2018 after a short period of playing together. This led to an unexpected opportunity to showcase their music at a magical gathering called Moyn Moyn Festival, trance-forming the dance floor with enthusiastic groovers. That defining moment allowed this special project to evolve into something more than simply a vision in the dreams. Kalaha Moon’s first single, Mojave, describes a lucid desert story & was exposed through Soundcloud, where it got its roots.

Oceanvs Orientalis (Safak Ozkutle) is one man band live performer and music producer; who gives concerts since 2014, including one of the biggest festivals around the globe. Since then he released a total of: 2 Albums, 5 EPs, 6 Singles and over 20 edits and remixes. Founded by Safak Oz Kutle, Oceanvs Orientalis is a collective formation which aims to challenge the aesthetic perception in electronic music. It may feature itself as a band or as a one-man action. It blends itself with the archaeologic tunes of mankind’s cumulative musical history and in this very context believes that “everything comes from the east”. He uses electronic music to carry the old vibes he grew up with to the dancefloor, transforming irregular local rhythms into 4/4 electronic beats. Since 2011 he has been making both DJ sets and live performances, and is now planning to focus solely on his live sets.

Since the birth of Elfenberg in 2017, Viktor and Henrik’s tunes have established them on both charts and festival lineups across the globe. The Swedes have also become key members of Oliver Koletzki’s Stil Vor Talent family since releasing their first EP with them in early 2018. Elfenberg can not be defined by any genre but by a steady groove created in a primitive soundscape. A sound that embodies constant motion, spiralling into whatever creative vision the duo have in mind. In September 2019, they became proud owners of their own imprint, ‘Trampoliner’.

So would you like a fresh breeze of music? Just close your eyes and enjoy the journey!

“Dance, dance otherwise we are lost” the larger than life modern dance choreographer and ballet director Pina Bausch once said. The Cologne based DJ and producer Esther Silex deeply believes in those words of wisdom and took the statement as one of many inspirations behind her debut EP “Pachamama” for Sweden’s finest free spirited electronic music label Studio Barnhus. The EP title refers to the old mother earth goddess of the indigenous people of the Andes, who is an independent deity that has her own creative power to sustain life on planet earth. For Silex she is a divineness that follows her on each and every step as a female with groove in her heart. After a nomadic upbringing all around Europe she started to play records at the tender age of 17 and quickly became an integral part of Cologne’s house and techno scene. Her sets are anything but predictable, with an eclectic selection that somehow weaves seamlessly through techno and house to soul, funk, afro and disco.

Ouhana means family in Hawaiian and this is what he wishes to create with his music. A feet stomping dancefloor family, playing like kids and smiling at the sun.

Luana’s music journeys flows between a GypsyCabaret, TropicalRitual, Acidowntempo, SensualGroovy, ArabDisco, Macumbia, Deepslowtechno vibe. Luana has a unique way of bringing multicultural elements into a groovy organic electronic mix, from that hypnotic sound that nurtures our souls into that texture and melody that will massage our ears. Touring around 4 continents since 2014, she developed a very mystical spontaneous way to guide people through her soundscapes. With the constant groovy sensual waves, she always brings a contrast, awakening our playful instincts on the dancefloor. She is also known for working with music in a symbiotic way with nature, collaborating with different projects that supports the environment.

Influenced by the the world and people around her, Mimi Love’s sound is electronically nomadic, and whether flaunting a hypnotic kind of pop sound or bending tempos to bring people back to earth, it always arrives with big feelings and a sincere view. This is house music for dancers who love to dance, and lovers who love to love. It all began in her second home; the iconic setting of Berlin’s Bar25. Here she played dreamy downbeat disco with her long-formed collection of special and often rare music.

This is house music for dancers who love to dance, and lovers who love to love. It all began in her second home; the iconic setting of Berlin’s Bar25. Here she played dreamy downbeat disco with her long-formed collection of special and often rare music. Today she journeys Europe, America, and the Pacific, despite her feet being solidly planted in the ripe Berlin soil.

Born between the good-natured mountains and the far-reaching seas of Chile, raised in Italy, England, France and Germany, music is and has always been the greatest companion, best friend and trusted love of the multi-faceted Alma Linda. With an open heart and sharing soul, she wants to break down borders and built castles of hope and love. For her, in a world where our insecurities are turned into money, loving yourself becomes a political act. The rhythms of different landscapes are her biggest inspiration: Andean music, hip hop, Arabic drums and jazz, united with the heart of electronic beats. In her powerful downbeat-sets she blends these worlds, rhythms, cultures, melodies and musical memories into her most personal stories, delivered right from her bare soul. In doing so, fear, vulnerability and mistakes turn into creatures she’s trying to become friends with instead of running away from. So don’t run – just dance!

Dance is a powerful impulse, but the art of dance is that impulse channeled by skillful performers into something that becomes intensely expressive and that may delight spectators who feel no wish to dance themselves. These two concepts of the art of dance—dance as a powerful impulse and dance as a skillfully choreographed art practiced largely by a professional few—are the two most important connecting ideas running through any consideration of the subject. In dance, the connection between the two concepts is stronger than in some other arts, and neither can exist without the other. The Performer Lena will demonstrate a dance called “Wild Dance” which will be a demonstration of a type of dance from the ancient times.
