@ladybug161 is part of Dresden-based DJ crew @happalekollektiv. She’s been unfolding her red wings in order to whirl resistance against the patriarchy for a while now, but has found her way to the decks only a year ago. Ladybug now takes every opportunity to expand her skills within the Happalé collective and to get involved in the still male-dominated techno world.
Her motto: "play like a lady".
While DJing she tries to use her own samples to tell a story. This time Lady Bug wants to take off together with all FLINTAs* and celebrate in the galactic sphere.

ProZeccoCast #51 Lady Bug

@ladybug161 is co-founder of Happalé Kollektiv in Dresden, part of various active networks like Feuer & Furore, she curates, organizes, discusses and DJs herself. Her selection doesn't fit in any genre. Since she learned to DJ, she has been experimenting a lot between Italo Disco and Techno. Over the time, she developed a very personal touch between IndieDance with Techhouse basslines and Acid-House & Dark Disco á la Panorama Bar. So let this mix suprise you once again!

Born and raised in the sunny Rheinland, she chose Dresden as her new home. Started a few years ago, @cita_kita has been on an exciting ride along the different genres beginning with acid techno and house to different facets of breakbeat and garage to more RnB and UK infused music in this set. Along this ride the tracks got shorter, the tempo range and mixing more challenging and the fingers more exhausted after each set. The one thing that didn’t change over the last year is her love for broken beats. 

Ready for the colder days, this set is a new approach to her music with quite a wide tempo range and lots of vocals. Grab a coffee, watch the leafs fall, and enjoy!

@sova_sova embarked on his musical journey in 2015 with the purchase of his first turntables. Since then, he has been organizing events in Dresden—initially with DDAC—where his own series "Pluto" had its inception. Since 2019, Sova has been a part of Palais Palett and objekt klein a, where he not only continues the series but also began his residency amidst various other projects.

As a DJ, he is constantly exploring ways to evolve his sound. His music reflects a broad spectrum of influences ranging from Italian Deep House, British Techhouse, and Bleep to Belgian Newbeat, German Electronica, and old-school Techno. Skillfully merging these diverse styles, he crafts an enthralling, housy groove.

Part of the frag:family since May 2024, and of @objektkleina crew since 2022, @copacetic161 found his way to electronic music at the early age of 7, buying his first record (Techno Hits 1996-2000, Polystar) after listening to Nalin & Kane’s Beachball on ViVa. Since then, various styles of electronic music have played a vital role in his musical education, next to the obligatory Sludge and Metal phase as a teen. At fragmented: he is part of team music and one of our DD based residents. 
 
In this mix, copacetic moves through the outskirts of club-music with a focus on sounds slightly to the left of the standard club sound. Ambient, dub, and leftfield - seasoned with some classics - make for a more introspective journey, reminiscent of the afters. Enjoy!

Ladybug grew up in a small village in Saxony. While looking for new adventures and escaping the countryside she fell straight into the arms of techno.
She fell in love with the subculture, it’s people and the energy. With Happalè collective she found the opportunity to create such a space with her friends and spread the love. Ladybug is still on her journey to explore the variety of sounds and styles but she cannot deny her weakness for Disko.🐞

In today’s set she will take you to a dark night of Disko!
