German Electronic music's brightest rising star, 28-year-old Berlin-based producer and live act, Ben Böhmer has had another monumental year. His debut album ‘Breathing’, released on Anjunadeep at the end of 2019, has since attained over 50 million streams. A string of other singles and remixes for Anjunadeep, Future Classic and Hungry Music have seen Ben become a mainstay in the flagship electronic playlists and Beatport 100, drawing admirers from across the Electronic music spectrum; including Stephan Bodzin, Bob Moses and Boris Brejcha, who pronounced Ben as his ‘Breakthrough Artist of 2020’. Ben headlined two of the most talked about live streams of the past 12 months. His Cercle performance was recorded entirely from a hot air balloon 3,000ft above the Turkish desert and it got over 10 million views in the first 6 months. He followed this up by becoming the first artist to perform a live set for German YouTube and Netflix sensation, Kliemannsland. This September his second album will be released, the ‘Begin Again’ which sees Ben delve deeper into alternative Electronica alongside a list of higher-profile Indie collaborators, whilst still delivering several of his trademark melodic house tracks that will put everyone dancing in our magical garden.

Diana aka Brusca is a DJ and producer from Lisbon and part of the Hayes collective crew. She is part of the new generation of Portuguese techno talents and a complex and complete artist. Her style is unexpectedly fresh and intense, but also energetic, dark, and hypnotic, diving into a vast musical fabric. Brusca made some collaborations with different artists and played in some festivals like Brunch electronic, Neo-pop, and our beautiful garden, so we already experienced her incredible vibe on the dancefloor, and we can’t wait to have her back again.

Italian DJ, electronic music producer and deep techno specialist, who takes cues from avant-garde and ambient music, as well as the abyssal echoes of early hypnotic acid and dub. He has been active as a DJ and producer since 2006 and released his records mainly on Prologue Music, Semantica Records and TGP, an electronic music label based in Italy, where he is the co-founder. Since 2018 Claudio is the resident DJ in one of Pragueʼs most valued clubs, “Ankali”, where he curates the Volumi Dinamici night. In 2020 he founded 012, a new platform dedicated to art and sound research, because he believes that “In life everything is cyclic” and that’s what 012 is for the artist and producer, a new cycle dedicated to sounds and art. 2021, marks his debut on Dutch edgy imprint, Delsin records, where he presented the EP Rites of Passage, with three expertly crafted and compelling techno rides. And more recently, CLAUDIO PRC returned to Delsin and released another EP, Challenger Deep, composed of four tracks of proper deep and compelling techno rides with Kaiko as a closer hinting to a more housier side of the established Italian producer, and Lisbon can’t wait to experience all this energy in the dancefloor.

His name is well known in the Portuguese scene and that's why we proudly underline the achievement. Manager of the label, Cruz has been much more than a familiar face in Bloop’s events and launchings. He is now one of the most pressing names in electronic music today, having won a spot on the main venues of the national clubbing scene, from Lisbon up to the north and south. Cultivating a very low-profile musical career, his consolidation comes while addressing electronic music like few, creating an unmistakable complicity with vinyl – his best ally and teacher in nearly one decade. Nowadays, he shares the cabin with incredible national and international references, so he will surely be a figure to pay attention to on the dance floor.

He is an electronic artist and producer from Detroit, inspired by the ghetto groove in its purest unfiltered form, creating rhythms and hooks that not many can resist. He started as a drummer at age 6 playing for a small church and by age 12 dropped the sticks, got himself a cardboard and started break dancing. Two years later, he started drawing turntables and mixers on his cardboard boxes, pretending he was rocking parties, but it didn’t last long. With only 35 bucks, he finally got a Mcdonald turntable with an 8-track tape player built in which he rigged to his mixer and from that he learned how to mix and scratch. At age 16 Kool Keith (Tucker) showed him an 808, and Juno 106 and then pulled out shoeboxes of cassette tapes to let him hear stuff he had been working on. DJ Maaco afterwards bought himself a keyboard and started making music. His first release was in 1992, with a group called “One Nation” and he later hooked up with DJ PDOG which together formed M.A.P. Records, where they put out stuff on their own label as Detroit In Effect. Later, they hooked up with SERGE of CLONE Records and have since then played numerous times in Europe and the U.K., dropping raw insistent electro and Detroit bass music that will finally shake the dancefloor of our magical garden.

He is a DJ from Chiba city in Japan with an incredible ability to draw on a vast world of music and create unique sound spaces. In his home country, he is known most widely as the man behind the fabled Future Terror parties, an event that has been running out of various venues in his hometown of Chiba for just over ten years. The likes of Marcel Dettmann, Mike "Agent X" Clark and Steffi have all been past guests; and in the case of the former, Dettmann brought Nobu over to Berlin in 2011 for one of his few performances outside of Japan. Detroit has been his other main international stomping ground, while back on home soil Nobu has been known to put in as many as 90 gigs across the country a year. And Lisbon is more than ready to get into a different dimension of sounds and beats with him.

Few DJs and producers are as widely and universally acclaimed in techno circles as Italian Donato Dozzy. He has a rare ability to work his way into peoples' minds in both contemporary and classical settings, conjuring real mood and atmosphere. Never one to pay heed to the zeitgeist, he prefers to deal in hypnotic soundscapes that really take you on a trip. Enigmatic as he is, and laidback as he seems, as an artist, he is constantly unveiling new work. Displaying a large variation in terms of sound and method across many new releases each year--some of which come on his co-owned label Spazio Disponibile - he also puts out installations for public spaces and museums, uses obscure musical instruments, collaborates with likeminded producers, classical singers or visual artists. Donato seems to continuously challenge himself on a creative level: whatever method he uses. He is always likely to permeate your cerebral cortex and rewire it in fascinating and compelling new ways and Lisb-ON is ready to experience this musical trip.

Khutoretsky’s story begins in Minneapolis. He immersed himself in rave culture, throwing parties with massive sound systems, starting his club, and sourcing music, the foundation of a collection that now exceeds 30,000 records. DVS1 gained localized notoriety as a promoter and DJ, but it took a pair of 12-inches on Klockworks and Transmat before his name transcended the scene that his legendary DIY parties had ignited. He’s among the few residents of the most renowned clubbing institutions, Berghain/Panorama Bar, where he fills both floors. Whether he’s spinning a rare house set or racing, straight techno to pitch-black rooms, the DVS1 experience is unforgettable. Nowadays, he divides all between Minneapolis and Europe; wherein lies the Berlin-based project MONOM, a studio space he co-founded and with one of only two 4DSOUND setups, the world’s most advanced spatial sound instrument. Whether it’s label management, DJing, or producing, DVS1 is an artist who stays true to his past without ever losing sight of the future and we are sure that we will feel all that energy in his immersive concert.

Dyed first stepped foot into the dark and mysterious world of Paris’ legendary Batofar after-parties in 1998, where he has been enchanted with the world of DJing. Progressing from the dance floor to promoting events and learning to spin records himself, the artist has become one of the world’s best-known selectors, traversing the globe both as a solo artist and as part of the infamous trio Apollonia. Dyed is not only a highly respected DJ but also a skilled producer, with several classic releases under his belt as well as an album with Apollonia. His journey began at the legendary Kwality parties run by Dan Ghenacia, a DJ who Dyed idolized in those early years. These early experiences of Paris’ after-hours soirees undoubtedly shaped the music Soundorom makes and plays today – psychedelic, deep and above all else, groovy. When Dan launched his Freak N’Chic label, Dyed was among the first artists supported by the outlet. Early forays into production resulted in a series of classic releases including the ‘Question’ EP, ‘Remote Cocktail’, and many more with huge success. He has appeared at a long list of the world’s most respected and influential club spaces from DC10 Ibiza, fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo) to Rex Club, in his hometown Paris, the latter where he hosted a residency that ran for a couple of years. Dyed remains a treasured selector to the world and Lisb-ON is excited to have him sharing this talent with every techno lover.
