Function Of Groove Invites

Untz

Originally from Lille, Max is a young music enthusiast focusing on energetic, jacking and mental techno. His love for electronic music took another dimension after moving to Berlin in 2017, where he started collecting records from artists like Steve Stoll, Stef Mendesidis, The Advent, and many more. Usually fast, his sets are all about blending the old school and the new school: “bringing together the nostalgia of the 90’ with the freshness of today’s sound is my objective”.

KI/KI at Reaktor 2019

Discreet but present since 6 years Tehotu defends his deep convictions. He imposes his alternative scene (Souht West of France) initially via illegal raves before concretising his project. This is by inviting sharp artists from the underground scene, despite difficulties that he establishes himself as a spokesperson of the alternative scene of his region.

 TEHOTU arrives in Berlin in 2015 and maintains his commitment to Underground by linking up with some of the Berlin night scene activists. Following a rave he organised for the famous 1st of May in 2017 in Berlin (Thousands of wild people in the streets of Kreuzberg) he starts a collectif called F5I and the raves called EXPOSURE taking place into a warehouse in the area of Jannowitzbrücke with view on the Spree.
He starts as well a webradio called Droomface Radio with a concept of no promo, masked DJ in order not to influence listeners/viewers and mostly focus on what's important.

 Also Poducer and DJ, TEHOTU is interacting between passion and  his beloved Underground culture.
 The latter is, as a producer, creating dreamlike atmospheres into his timelesses tracks and also being spontaneous with a refine music.
 As a breathetaking performer, he's proving to every crowds in every single set how to combine story-telling with love, passion and a clear message. He's one of a kind that shares with the public and bring them to a real soul-searching about the essence of our acts. He's gonna guide you to a sweaty and euphoric situation.

 According to Tehotu: "This is only by sharing that we will create."
