Valeria, resident of Schimmer Records, knows her
selectionby heart. Vinyl meets digital, eachtransition
sharp, each groove alive. Together with the Schimmer
family, she brought the journey to Gdansk - a night at
Crackhouse, where walls hum with stories and ship
cranes watch over the dancefloor.

It was her closing set, the sun already breaking in the
early hours. Pumping energy into tired legs, she
carried the dancers further, deeper, longer. Between
steel and sea air, the mix unfolded - raw and unique
like the location itself. A fleeting moment, pressed into
sound, and left behind like a trace of light.

Reza Putra Ananda has been reborn as Ecilo through his love for the industrial beats of Techno. His experience in the industry comes from years of refining his sound and honing his technique, with influences ranging from expressive African-American Music (Jazz, Soul, Blues) and the atmospheric resonances of Sci-Fi soundtracks. Always experimenting with different sounds has shaped Ecilo to become a producer who is genre-fluid yet strongly rooted in his foundations for proper Techno. Though slightly considered the underdog of genres in Indonesia, Ecilo’s consistency in providing solid proper Techno DJ sets and live performances has reinvigorated the genre and even inspired more and more passionate players into the field. With releases on international labels such as ARTS (Berlin), Planet Rhythm and more.
