Tom and Chris don't just share parents but also the same huge interest in music and the culture around it. They are known for their work as programmers for Maxi Radio and Leiden's infamous venue Wibar; as event organizers for the Discotuin project; and for their record store Offbeat Records. The two brothers spend most of their free time at record stores and fairs all around Europe, filling their bags with music from all over the world. Expect 90’s house, cosmic chuggers, funk, dub and banging disco 12’s!

Previously as Operating Modus.

"Meet aQa, a Rotterdam-based DJ whose boundless approach to electronic music is both precise and dynamic. Rooted in a deep respect for the art of composing and using the element of water as his cornerstone, aQa’s sets flow seamlessly from atmospheric ambient and IDM to blistering 90’s electro and hard-edged Detroit techno that will shift any audience into top gear. 

With appearances at De School, Breakfast Club, Drift and HÖR Berlin, alongside his monthly Atlantis residency on Operator Radio, aQa has cemented himself as a strong voice in the depths of electronic music. His music draws from a deep well of influences, blending the forward-thinking ethos of artists like Brian Eno and Biosphere with the aquatic mythos of Drexciya and the raw energy of Underground Resistance, offering a sound that feels both timeless and forward-looking.

Whether helming the decks in intimate spaces or expansive festival stages, aQa’s performances are as fluid as they are ferocious. Operating at the crossroads of instinct and intention, aQa leaves a resonance that lingers long after the final track."

Malcolm arrives fresh on the London scene after honing his craft in the French underground club scene, sculpting a richly textured sonic identity that moves in both tense and cinematic universes.

As much inspired by sci-fi scores as 90’s rave culture, this prolific producer blends heavy ethnic rhythms and monstrous drums with hints of melancholy and ethereal sounds, crafting his own take on bass music with richly-textured low-tempo tracks and remixes that have already snagged interest from the likes of Ben UFO, Lena Willikens and Trevor Jackson, and entered the playlists of BBC Radio 6, Radio Nova and Rinse France.
