Berlin based multidisciplinary Artist and DJ!

Berlin-based, London born DJ & CONTR4ST Label owner, fka.m4a has become a stalwart of underground music with a heady blend of Italo, HI- NRG and House. With several Boiler Room appearances under his belt - clocking up over half a million streams combined - plus shows everywhere from Berghain / Panormar Bar, Timewarp, Tomorrowland to Awakenings, features in Mixmag and Electronic Beats, plus Peggy Gou in his corner as a mentor, his stock is firmly on the rise. 

Born in London, music was always front and centre in his family home, his mother playing music to him through headphones while he was still in the womb. Citing acts whose USP was female empowerment as the first music he found for himself, the likes of Spice Girls and Lil Kim were early musical influences, eventually leading him to start DJing on the queer scene in London. 

“I was working on the Soho & East London circuit” he says. “I was mainly doing guestlist and hosting but eventually they asked me to DJ and I spent a few years cutting my teeth on that scene.” 

Learning how to work a crowd as a pop DJ, seeing Honey Dijon DJ on his first trip to Berlin in 2016 led him down the rabbit hole of electronic music and led to a shift in his focus. 

“I completely fell in love with the storytelling element of her set,” he says. “I spent the next year immersed in dance music culture and started playing the electronic room at gay nights.” 

Moving to Berlin in 2019, the pandemic quickly put a stop to his burgeoning DJ career before a switch to recording streams from his apartment during covid saw his profile blow up, leading to signing with an agency and bagging his first Panorama Bar set when lockdown lifted. 

With Peggy Gou taking him under her wing and asking him to regularly open for her (“She’s helped me out so much and we have a really strong relationship,” he says. “She calls me her daughter and I call her my mother,” he laughs.), fka.m4a’s schedule got hectic with sets everywhere from Warehouse Project to Sonar and a focus on producing their own music. 

“It’s important for me to make music that works in the club,” he says. ‘But most importantly, it’s about making something that comes straight from the heart. I think I’ve achieved that on my first EP and I can’t wait for people to connect with it.” 

With an event series in the pipeline and a summer stacked with festival shows from Hï Ibiza to Terminal V, fka.m4a has firmly cemented himself as one of the leading artists in the underground space.

We wouldn’t blame you for assuming Caseno was born under a coconut tree somewhere on a sub-tropical island rather than the quaint city that is Melbourne. While the duo of Harris Robotis and Ric Sciarpa are no strangers to the 
art of genre-hopping, their production is reminiscent of the sort of sweet undertones that carry you away to a place that knows no winter.As one of Australia’s most sought after producers and DJ’s for the better part of the decade, Harris has been a busy little robotic bee. His solo career on Sweat It Out! has seen his magical remixing skills, deep original production and tousled hair grow into an unstoppable supremacy. With a damn impressive repertoire, he’s collaborated on songs with Greenskeepers, Chris Holmes (Ashtar Command / keys Smashing Pumpkins), DJ’d alongside royalty such a Alan Braxe, Boysnoize, Sven Vath, Justice, The Rapture, Foals and Tiga just to scratch the surface, so it’s no surprise that he would bring his ﬁnicky production skills to the table when Caseno is concerned.
Enter Ric. Basically a boy-genius-rainman type when it comes to instruments and ex member of the discoesque outﬁt We:Are:Fans. Like Harris, Ric is an accomplished bassist and guitarist although, is also prone to whip out a drum solo that will melt faces, bust out the jews harp, sax, keys, trumpet and trust us.. the list goes on. Well versed in the art that is noise this man’s production knows no bounds. In a serendipitous twist of fate the pair met in 2008 in one of Melbourne’s very many cafes. Bonding over their apparent love of music and hot beverages a few years later, Caseno was crafted. After a very well received ﬁrst debut EP in 2013, Caseno has since evolved into a sound that is virtually limitless and label-less.Officially remixing in the deepest of ways for Thrillionaire (Henrietta Tiefenthaler, Jen Turner of Here We Go Magic, Joey Waronker Atoms For Peace), James Curd, Rüfüs and Parachute Youth, the guys are racking up a nice little festival portfolio, which sees the likes of Parklife, Future Music Festival, Good Vibes, and Kubik Melbourne, Caseno prove to be some seriously accomplished musicians touring with their 4-piece live act when the stage allows for it, and when it doesn’t; a top-notch DJ act.

On the heels of their sundrenched single Sebatian, Caseno is set to release a second single early 2014 with an album due later in the year which promises to be the soundtrack to your summer; and if the weather’s not hot, it’ll make you wish it was.
