Inyoung Son, an art university graduate, initially pursued menswear design before relocating to Japan to immerse himself in photography. His artistic practice subsequently expanded into music, evolving into a multidisciplinary identity rooted in sound and visual expression.

Son’s industrial-aesthetic music encompasses raw textures, percussive intensity, and ritualistic atmospheres, extending the material sensibilities of his visual art. For him, music constitutes an integrated form of expression, seamlessly blending auditory and visual experiences.

He has released mix sets on esteemed platforms such as HÖR, Brutal Forms, and Knife, and delivered impactful DJ sets for collectives in Korea, Japan, and Berlin. Notably, he is the founder of hyperborea., an experimental platform that explores industrial techno and beyond.

B.A.R.K is a Tokyo based industrial techno DJ who runs the label Experiment [Re-Cords] that combines Techno with Fetishism.
B.A.R.Kʼs dark and hard music style embodies the human emotions of pain, sadness, fear and anger in a fragile and dramatic way.
The unstable and distorted beauty that seems to break at the touch is very fleeting and very strong.

ZNTHIIA is an industrial techno DJ and cinematic sound designer.
Since 2023, she has haunted Tokyoʼs underground as the co-founder of [VEILANIN] and resident DJ at [Experiment].
Fueled by raw, experimental aesthetics, her sets hit like sonic assaults —
forged through a deep background in cinematic sound design. Expect brutal textures, crushing low-end pressure, and fractured,
irregular rhythms that defy expectations and reject dancefloor comfort.

Growing up in a post-industrial area surrounded by remnants of the former mining industry, Belgian-born DJ and producer Dario Desaer infuses these traces of the past to sculpt atmospheric compositions that intertwine with contemporary techno motifs.
Inspired by his fascination with the early industrial genre and its uniquely dark atmospheres, along with the surrealism of his favourite films, he creates compositions that resonate with raw emotion and unsettling energy.
In his work, Desaer crafts narratives that challenge perceptions, inviting listeners to lose themselves in each track, whether at home with headphones or amidst a club's sound system.
His music embodies a love for the hidden corners of nightlife, delivering a haunting and introspective sound that reimagines the dance floor as a space for both physical and psychological transformation.
As a surgical incision into the psyche, playing with quivering rhythms and abrasive textures, Dario Desaer’s productions and DJ sets offer a seductive dive into techno and underground club culture, ultimately capturing the raw energy of late-night raves where dimly lit clubs become sanctuaries for expression and freedom.
