"In keeping with the cold season, I recorded a slightly darker set. My birth month January is the height of winter, so I immersed myself completely in this frosty atmosphere while mixing. Paired with a good dose of percussions and tribal elements, the result is a mix that is driving, sharp and yet melancholic and deep".

ÜBERKIKZ combines driving kicks, tooly synths, and tribal and folkloric elements into a
hypnotic journey. With each kick, she tells stories that resonate deeply, encouraging a
confrontation with one's origins. Free from thought, almost instinctively, her sets are a call to surrender to the moment and experience all these raw emotions in its purest form.
At the heart of her sets lies the belief that we all share a common origin — beyond
nationality, culture, gender or sexuality. Music is the universal bond that unites us, and this is the essence ÜBERKIKZ aims to express through her art: the power of rhytms to bring us
together as a community and remind us of the unity of all humanity.

"A Techno set by Stigmata is characterized by a raw, industrial, and hypnotic atmosphere. Known for its driving, dark, and minimalist sound, Stigmata blends classic elements of early German Techno with modern influences. The sets often feature powerful, repetitive beats, dark synthesizer tones, and an intense energy that can transport listeners into a trance-like state. Stigmata’s sets are especially suited for underground clubs or festivals that focus on uncompromising, purist Techno".

Stigmata started his career as a producer in the early 80s, influenced by bands like Skinny Puppy, Nitzer Ebb, and artist Isao Tomita. Using his first audio tools, an Atari 1040ST, he began experimenting with tracks and met musicians like Toni Rios, Marco Cannata, and Tommy Bingel. His early releases were on labels like Harthouse and Eye-Q. In 1994, he met Chris Liebing, and from that point on, André influenced every Liebing release. Together, they launched SOAP Records, with André using pseudonyms like "Noosa Heads" and "E.H.R."
Besides his work with Liebing, André collaborated with artists like Monika Kruse, Moguai, and Gayle San. In 1998, they intensified their partnership, leading to the creation of the AUDIO, CLR, and CLAU labels. André’s passion for horror films and mysticism shaped the STIGMATA project, which played a key role in modern techno’s evolution.
In 2001, André won the "Best Producer Award" at the German Dance Awards. In 2018, he returned with a new techno album under the Stigmata alias, and in 2022 and 2024, he released music on various labels e.g. Flash Recordings, Adroit & IMF.

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.

Blue Hour — a time of day similar to dawn, dusk and the three stages of twilight. It doesn't have one definition, and its colour is neutral, not blue. Like Luke Standing's alias 'Blue Hour' suggests, his sound doesn't slip into any one category.

The Berlin-based producer, DJ and head of the ‘Blue Hour Music' record label blurs the lines between Acid Techno, old school Rave, Breakbeat, Jungle and Leftfield to create a mirage of hazy euphoria and explore a narrative of timeless music unbound by geography and scene.

Hailing from the UK, Luke discovered dance music in Brighton and London where, as a teenager, the ferocious notes of DnB and Jungle drew him towards raves operating in each city. Quintessential artists and labels of time started the foundations of Luke's vinyl collection before reaching wider with UK Bass, Techno, Trance and IDM slipping into his record bag.

As a student in the thralls of Bristol's 2007 club scene, Luke started to DJ, promote parties and produce music under the names 'Furesshu' and 'Esoteric'. A handful of releases went out under these monikers marking Luke's entry point into production but as the Bristol circuit drew him into a cross-pollination of Dubstep and Techno, his ear inevitably turned. Catching the bug for Techno, Luke frequently visited Berlin to satisfy an urge to discover more artists and events aligned with the genre.

With a natural progression to the soundscape of Techno, Luke relocated to Berlin in 2011 and soon after launched the resolutely independent project 'Blue Hour' and label of the same name. Several years into the project, Luke has released pivotal records with a distinctive sound driven by the spirit and energy of the '90s, and in turn, welcomed into some of the most prolific spaces worldwide including Berghain, Fold, fabric, Blitz and Robert Johnson.

With an ethos to evolve and support compelling artists, the door of 'Blue Hour Music' opens up, releasing the work of Alpha Tracks and Dold along the way, as well as gaining the reputation of a respected and important outlet for Techno. The acclaimed 'Remixed' series on the 'Blue Hour Music' imprint saw Steffi, Pangaea, Hector Oaks and many more re-working his music. Now completed, new remix projects and collaborative ventures take focus in its place, including collaborative releases with Copenhagen's Fast Forward and UTE from Oslo. In late 2020, Luke reestablished the 'Tracing Xircles' project with Berlin-based producer A-JX, where the pair mutate UK and Detroit techno flavours with a retro-futuristic twist.

2021 signified the launch of a new sub-label together with Swedish DJ Philippa Pacho. The label called positive source "aims to push progressive attitudes in dance music while paying homage to our roots in early club culture.”

Luke's personal creative output continues to develop and expand with solo, collaborative projects, compilation contributions and commissioned remixes, connecting him to the ever-changing landscape of Techno and its sprawling sub-genres.

It's safe to say that the sound of ‘Blue Hour’ and his respective labels are weaved into the expansive realm of the electronic music community but Luke strikes an unparalleled chord within it.

Awakenings Podcast S355 - AK SPORTS

"For this Awakenings set, I crafted a journey through the roots and evolution of my sound. Expect a raw blend of old school techno, tribal rhythms, and industrial textures—echoes from my early days at illegal raves and warehouse parties. Woven together with modern cuts, unreleased tracks of mine, and a touch of psychedelia—my signature—this mix bridges past and present with relentless intention".

A French DJ based in Paris, Lola Cerise was born in a family of creatives, her mother was
a classical musician, and her uncle was a chief orchestra. She played the piano but
confesses her rebellious side lead her to do her own thing, where during her teenage
years became a regular at many illegal raves where she discovered acid core, tribal and
tribe core genres.

When she was a teenager, she openly talks about her mother’s battle with depression
over her parents’ divorce, a situation which has deeply created her necessity for a
hardworking attitude, along with never needing to depend on anyone but herself to
achieve her goals.

At 18, she initially moved to Lyon to study art and made the decision to learn
photography as a profession, dropped out of university and became a part time model
to help pay for her studies. After some years studying photography, she decided to move
to Australia for 3 years, where she started to get back into raving. It was there Lola
started to play around with DJ’ing, progressing to producing within a year and soon
realised that she needed to move to a new city, Paris in 2022.

Lola’s music is a reflection of all of these experiences, sometimes its fast and intense,
other times more emotive and complex, but always tells a story. She has released on
Gomboc Records, Comme des les films, Khazad Records and Record Union, supported
already by Indira Paganotto, I Hate Models and Cera Khin, she also has landed a slot as
a resident at the legendary Gotec Club, whilst starting her own label First Date Without
Panties, alongside key streams with HÖR Berlin, and BCCO. She announces her debut
in 2025, with an 8 track mini LP on ARTCORE, a big milestone and the start of an exciting
new journey.

Highlights: - Artcore EP release + Upcoming Collab Album on my label in september

These past years Lucky Done Gone has been steadily paving his path towards being a
permanent fixture in the dj-scene. His contagious and energy driven sets, friendly vibe
and connecting powers have not been going unnoticed, even far beyond the Dutch
borders. Besides show-packed weekends in The Netherlands, Lucky played France,
Germany, Lithuania and he also did an Asia-tour last year.

With a unique blend of energy, passion, and technical skill, Lucky Done Gone consistently captivates his audience. His sets are a mixture of eternal sounds: house, 90’s techno, 00’s trance, Leftfield and anything fresh for the dancefloor he just dug up. Bringing the crowds modest vibes, but also the more emotional side of things. Ever since his first introduction to the audience, the special connection between the crowd and Lucky Done Gone has only grown stronger.

As a producer Lucky Done Gone has worked hard on his own music these past years. This has led to releases on DGTL Records in '22 and '24, his Brainwave EP on Paradiso Vinyl Club (2023), a remix for Jungle By Night ft. Merol (2025) and a remix for Brass Rave Unit (2024). With more releases in the planning, this part of Lucky’s path is set to see more highlights in the future.

The years 2024 and 2025 have been a special period so far. Touring Asia, followed by a tour around the Netherlands with TLM (Tjade, Lucky Done Gone, Moody Mehran) that visited renowned concert halls like Paradiso and 013, and sold-out faster than they would have ever dreamed of. The rest of the year was looking bright too, with a summer filled with festivals like Awakenings, Into The Woods, The Crave, Ohm, Down the Rabbit Hole, Orbit Festival, ZeeZout Festival, and, last but not least, the Bravo tent at Lowlands.

In 2022 Lucky Done Gone set-up his own platform ‘Modus’ at club Parallel on the north side of Amsterdam. It’s here that he can connect people and show his diverse musical taste in multiple ways, which goes far beyond ‘just’ house and techno. Looks like you don’t have to try hard to see or hear Lucky Done Gone, as he will be around almost everywhere this coming year.
