Cristiano Ferragamo grew up in a large Italian family, where he was exposed to many different musical genres due to his siblings. His pronounced love of music and his insatiable interest in different musical genres have given him a broad and deep understanding of music. Added to this are the influences from Detroit, which shaped the techno scene and never let him go. He taught himself to DJ, initially working with vinyl and later playing on other media as digitalization progressed. His career began in 2005 at small events and parties, and he was later able to secure residencies at well-known clubs such as Butan. He has also played at clubs such as Odonien, Silq and Westend Club in Essen and many more. He has also performed at major festivals, including Ruhr in Love and Nature One Camp. Or the Taktlos Festival. He has been a resident at Druck Fabrik Events since 2022 and is represented in the booking agency of the same name. He released his first own track "Rave up" on his own label OMAGA, which he founded in early 2023. With Macro Mono he has set another milestone and founded the Uptown Records Vinyl Bus. Dopaminus is a versatile DJ and producer from Düsseldorf whose passion for electronic music is deeply rooted in his childhood. For more than five years, he has combined the craft of DJing with digital performance and vinyl, developing a style that is deeply connected to the raw essence of Techno.

For Dopaminus, Techno is far more than a passing trend. It is a culture, a connection and a way of expression. Every set is an energetic statement — a relentless journey designed to pull the crowd deeper into the music. This is Dopaminus.

Seit 2024 ist MAQZ fester Bestandteil des URVB Main Teams und steht für einen kompromisslosen, hypnotischen Zugang zu Techno. In Wuppertal aufgewachsen, ist MAQZ eng mit der lokalen Szene verbunden. Die Stadt und ihre Underground-Kultur pragen seinen musikalischen Weg bis heute. Durch seine langjahrige Verbindung zur Wuppertaler Szene kennt er ihre Strukturen, Menschen und Orte und ist tief in deren musikalischem Umfeld verwurzelt. MAQZ bewegt sich durch die tiefen, treibenden Ebenen des Sounds. Druckvolle Grooves, organische Strukturen und fein aufgebaute Spannungsbögen prägen seine Sets, die sich bewusst Zeit nehmen, um sich Stück für Stück zu entfalten und stetig an Intensität zu gewinnen. Zwischen rohem Druck und schwebender Energie entstehen dynamische Klangräume, die den Dancefloor nicht einfach beschallen, sondern ihn auf eine kontinuierliche Reise mitnehmen. Dabei verbindet MAQZ hypnotische Tiefe mit einem ausgeprägten Gespür für Groove, Dynamik und den richtigen Moment.
