Erika dreams on the cellular level, or perhaps of transdimensional intelligences moving through strange patterns on celestial objects, working towards a mysterious goal. Her connection to the dreamworld becomes concrete in her approach to music, simultaneously so solid and yet so ethereal. Erika began performing live in Ectomorph in 1997 when she was gifted a TR-606 by BMG and asked to join the group. This grew to her building her own studio, performing solo as Erika, collaborating with people like Jay Ahern and Noncompliant, and performing as a member of Circle of Live. Her depth of thought and clarity of vision has led to her mentoring people on live performance through the In Bloom platform, where she has made a large impact on many up and coming musicians.

Brendan M Gillen is the founder of cult label Interdimensional Transmissions, central figure in Ectomorph, and legendary DJ and live act under his moniker BMG. His multi decade musical vision and near encyclopedic musical knowledge have led him to be one of the key figures and visionaries in contemporary underground dance music. His parties (most famously but not limited to No Way Back and Return to the Source) are the greatest contemporary manifestation of the Detroit party continuum that reaches back to the parties that formed Detroit’s underground roots.

Influenced by early Detroit techno and Berlin dub techno, drum'n'bass and IDM, the Berghain resident likes to break the frame as a producer & DJ. Coupled with fast and razor-sharp multi-deck mixing, he continues to develop his DJ sets with forward thrust and pursues the goal of a unity-creating experience on the floor. His productions and sets are united by a constant lookout for groove, flow, reduction and repetition and follow the urge to surrender oneself solely to the music.

Paris-born and Cologne-based DJ and curator Sharlie explores a wide range of musical genres within a boundless sonic unity. Her sound is defined by an organic assemblage of industrial textures, acid elements, and concrete basslines—all moving in a constant orbit between all forms of house, amapiano, Afro Tech, world music, and more.

Neue Grafik is a House, Jazz and Hip-Hop DJ and producer. With only 3 records behind him on esteemed labels like Beat X Changers and S3A Records, producer and DJ Fred Bwelle aka Neue Grafik has quickly risen as one of the most promising acts to come out of the new French and European electronic scene (ask Laurent Garnier, he will confirm). His sound is best described as eclectic and versatile. It’s the product of a mixture of roots and a wide-ranging palette of inspiration. In his music you can hear the sound of Paris (his home-town), its music and cultural legacy, the ethnic sounds of Africa, as well as House, Jazz, Broken Beat and Hip-Hop. Go check him out playing live on his MPCs, you’ll witness what the man is all about.

E.P.I.Q. is an eight-member DJ crew from Cologne who have made it their mission to bring their individual sounds together for musical journeys through the night. They collaborate with other DJs, artists, and creatives and organize events on the local and national scene. Come to their dance floor and let yourself be infected and carried away—an energy that cannot be explained, only experienced. E.P.I.Q.'s goal is to create a space characterized by mutual support where they can play and share their favorite music and convey a sense of community and cohesion. Tonight we present a a smaller group within the E.P.I.Q. collective, consisting of Anna Cainelli and Nikity. From soul to hip-hop, R&B to world pop, house to breakbeats, bass to UK garage, and more, they provide cute B2B2Bs, loving energy, and booty-shaking all night long.

DJ Ass Tits is part of @hyperlovecollective and co-founder of the queer music festival @koelnchella. For some time now, Hyperlovecollective has had a residency at Cologne's Jaki Club. They are using this as an opportunity to give queer flinta* artists this stage and create a club night where all participants can feel comfortable. Since April 2026, DJ ASS TITS is co-hosting the show “i hope this finds you well” on @dublab.de, where she expresses her love of ambient music together with paaradoxx and their guests. DJ ASS TITS' sound crosses genres, moving predominantly within a spectrum between breakbeat, electro, acid house, and techno. But it doesn't matter, as long as it gets your a$$es $haking.
