KiNK:
Say what you wanna say, but you have to give Strahil Velchev this: the man’s a powerhouse. Recording and playing live under the KiNK alias, he went on to become one of the finest purveyor’s of funk in techno and house. What it is, by definition, ain’t exactly clear. And that is the beauty of it.

KiNK’s music is unifying in the best possible way. Channeling the spirit and feeling of a time where it didn’t really matter who the faces behind the music were, KiNK plays with the elements of genres and sub-genres as if the future of it all is still wide-open. At the same time it could be accused of retro-fetishism, as much as the Pope himself is infallible.

The pure need to recreate moments, feelings and experience – rather than carbon copies of existing designs – was what started KiNK’s production work. Hailing from Bulgaria, it was nearly impossible to get your hands on all the records and music that fed into a system of raves, clubs and record shops that seemed far away from Sofia, and financially it might as well have meant another galaxy. Wanting to DJ without having access to the tracks that spun the carousel meant that you had to create them yourselves. So, here we go with a private bootlegger gone public mastermind and one of the loudest voices in house, techno and beyond.

From KiNK’s early productions with Neville Watson to his smash-hit for Ovum, a cerebral album for Macro, tons of remixes & tracks and his mind-bending live act, Playground seems to take all that into a blender. Simultaneously a sound- summary, the harvest of a field of ideas, and the exhibition of an artist in his prime, it also works as a sort of KiNK dictionary: avant-garde soundscapes stand next to boisterous bangers, classic club tracks and peak time emotions find their idiosyncratic and contemplative counterparts – all of it coming down like a torrent in a drought.

Raredub:
Raredub is a Sofia-based music producer and DJ. Known for his high-octane energy, he infuses every set with a distinctive and dynamic vibe, regardless of when he plays.

Drawing inspiration from the early ’90s rave culture, Raredub puts a unique spin on his tracks. His music pulsates with raw beats and cutting-edge grooves, making a signature and bold statement.

In 2021, he dropped his first EP on KiNK’s Sofia Records, stepping onto the global music scene. His work has gained recognition by artists like Paul Woolford, Fjaak, Paggy Gou, Partiboi69, Skin On Skin, just to name a few.

Francisco Fernandez Araya, or more succinctly and stylistically, Zisko (aliases Oksiz, Iksoz), is an Argentinian DJ whose percussive flourish continues to shape a community-driven, beat-centric sound worldwide. His childhood was spent learning to play the drums—watch any of his live performances today, and you’ll see it’s a habit he has no intention of breaking. And why should he? Years of dedication and practice have sharpened his instincts, making him the force he is today while building a deep connection with his growing audience.
Geography plays a role too. Beyond the well-traveled techno axis that crisscrosses the northern hemisphere, Latin America brings its own essence—what Zisko describes as an “emotional and ancestral link to rhythm, dance, and sound.” Following the release of The Skin of the Snake and Speak Your Truth with ongoing support from heavyweights like DVS1, Luke Slater, Truncate, and Ben Sims, his voice in the scene is only getting louder.

Zisko’s techno is plugged-in, body-focused, and relentless, moving like a surge of energy through the crowd. His drum addiction is infectious, powerful, immediate, and primal.

Pegassi is the creative alter ego of Sam Huybrecht, an electronic music producer from Belgium, whose genre-defying sound is pushing the boundaries of eurodance, trance, techno and house. Pegassi’s journey to the forefront of the electronic music scene began with his remix of ‘No Type’, which shot to #1 on Soundcloud’s global charts, marking the start of a rapid rise.

His breakout club anthem ‘Yoyoyo’ continues to ignite dance floors worldwide, becoming a favorite among many of the scene’s top artists. Pegassi’s bold, energetic productions, spanning a wide array of genres, have garnered support from key tastemakers like Marlon Hoffstadt, Anetha, Trym, Bad Boombox, Malugi, Job Jobse, VTSS, Solomun, and many more. Recently, Pegassi collaborated with DJ IP on the well-received track ‘Wanna Feel’, and fans eagerly await his highly anticipated release ‘No Go Zone’, featuring Dutch hip-hop icon Bokoesam. 

Pegassi has performed at some of Europe’s most iconic venues and festivals, including Thuishaven, Mondo Disko, Junkyard, RSO, Tomorrowland, Else, Intercell, Modul’air, BCCO, Teletech, and a memorable Boiler Room broadcast that has garnered widespread attention.

Beyond his success as a performer, Pegassi has launched his own event series and label, Sweet Nothing, through which he plans to tour the world while releasing music from up-and-coming talents. With major projects on the horizon and his unique ability to blend genres, Pegassi is poised to leave an indelible mark on the global electronic music landscape.
