Singing & exploring sounds…
eskalia (she/ her) is a Viennese mezzo soprano with Greek and Hungarian roots. She discovered her love for dramatic and sorrowful sounds early in her musical education, an affection that deepened during her vocal studies at University Mozarteum Salzburg. In 2024, she started exploring electronic music herself and since then, aims to pull each listener into an immersive tunnel of extraordinary music and deep emotion in her DJ sets. Among her favorite sounds are classical choirs, human cries and sobbing, harsh electric guitars, melismatic scales, dissonances and different sounds in nature such as bubbling water. 
However, her passion for art and culture extends beyond performing music. She favors artistic and cultural exchange and the synthesis of arts, as well as warm and communal atmospheres. This led her to co-found a Vienna based collective promoting darker and grittier sub-genres of underground electronic music, as well as other art forms @innig-collective

Kay Barton, originally from northern Germany, developed a passion for electronic music at a young age and taught himself the basics using simple DOS software. 

After relocating to the Heidelberg area in 1997, Kay delved into the world of DJing. Throughout the years, he has performed at renowned clubs and festivals both nationally and internationally. Additionally, he has played for various German and Austrian radio stations. Setting himself apart as not just a DJ but also an event organiser, Kay has curated electronic music events in the Rhine-Main area, with the popular 'The Place To Be' series being a notable example.

He initially experimented with different artist names and musical styles. However, in 2016, he made a deliberate shift towards pure techno music while using his real name. That same year, he made his debut with the release of his single 'Return 01' on the Belgian record label Bonzai, followed by remixes on Emerald & Doreen Records. Notably, his EP 'MacroGod' was released in 2019, featuring remixes by Dr Motte and Mijk van Dijk. Kay released music on various record labels, including Neuhain and Ballroom in Berlin, before finally signing with Trapez Records (Traum Schallplatten) in Cologne in 2020. In 2021, he moved to Vienna, Austria and continued to make a name for himself, releasing his first EP on IAMT, Spain in 2022, and collaborating with renowned artists like Tom Wax, Ross Harper, Mijk van Dijk and Tomorrowland artist YULI ANA.

In addition to his DJ and producing work, Kay also ventured into radio hosting. From 2020 to 2024, he has been hosting two monthly house and techno mix shows called 'Wiener Wohnzimmer' (formerly known as
'Heidelberger Wohnzimmer') and 'Sophisticated Rhythms' on Evosonic Radio, Germany's first station dedicated solely to electronic music. 

In 2023 along with his wife Evi he established the event platform 'TRENDWÆNDE'. They organised the “Save The Planet” float at the Rave The Planet Parade in Berlin, collaborating with three promoters and label operators.
The following year, TRENDWÆNDE organised several techno events in Vienna and Berlin, including a collaboration with Ukraine's largest rave series, Laboratorium, for the “Play Techno - Stop Wars” float at the Rave The Planet Parade. Shortly afterwards, ‘CONNÆKT.’ was launched, a new, regular event series organised by TRENDWÆNDE, in which they bring together local and international representatives of sophisticated techno, such as the internationally renowned techno artists Alan Oldham (DJ T-1000, BPitch/Tresor), BB Deng (Ego Riot Rec.) or SAYTEK LIVE (Awesome Soundwave, Cod3 QR, Raw Industries Berlin).

IN INDUSTRIAL WE TRUST

Industrial Techno label founded by @varus_music & @angelofdestructionn

Creative Director: BÖCEK


“ÇARK” is the sound of creation and decay, shaped by the relentless grind of gears. Like the cogs of a machine, we move in a single rhythm to create an unstoppable force. In the cold steel of industry, we find beauty in chaos and strength in the fractures of decay. “ÇARK” is where the hidden rhythm of industrial techno transforms into a global impact .

Emanating from the Moroccan dry lands, Hedon is a project that seeks to channel and muster undiscovered frequencies inspired by desolate and noir tinged landscapes feeding off the north-african hypnotic rhythms and Moroccan unique aesthetics. 

The project strives to explore sonic territories through a conceptual lens it defines as (OOMO) — Object-Oriented Musical Ontology — a framework for composing music as a non-linear constellation of sonic objects, patterns, and cultural fragments.  Each track is less a song than a living structure — an evolving dialogue between chaos, memory and ancestry — unfolding like sonic ecosystems: chaotic, intuitive and deeply rooted in place and memory, seeking not to explain, but to evoke.

Unhuman is the Berlin-based electronic and experimental project of Manos Simotas. 

Started in 2012 in Athens with his first release "Emperor Black"on tape, Unhuman evolved through different genres ultimately finding his own unique voice in experimental and dark electronics. Keeping his root in post-punk, Unhuman released on labels such as Instruments Of Discipline, Veleno Viola, BITE, Amok Tapes and Strange Therapy. 

A regular mainstay of major clubs in Berlin, Unhuman has performed all around Europe, Asia and South America and holds the artist in residency at Constant Value in Seoul, South Korea.

Unhuman is also the founder of Liber Null Berlin, which has played a critical role of unifying the freedom of arts in a conceptual event in the scene and also operates as a record label. Expanding beyond Berlin, Liber Null held events with performance arts and music all around the world including Athens, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul and beyond.
