Starting his musical career at an early age as a trained blues guitar player, Zehv has always had music flowing through his veins. In 2014, after attending Ultra, he swiftly transitioned into experimenting with music production and live mixing. ZEHV holds some iconic venues within his live performance portfolio. Having played at some of San Francisco’s best clubs like: Halcyon, Audio, The Midway, and The Great Northern, he later reached new heights when relocating to New York City and playing at venues such as: Avant Gardner, Bogart House, and Quantum. ZEHV has shared the stage with renowned names like Pete Tong, Sebastien Leger, and Joris Voorn and has become known for his lively and energetic performances.

Alongside his DJing, ZEHV has been constantly busy with production, showcasing his distinctive blend of Progressive House with his roots in Rock and Blues music, and putting his signature sound on a string of powerful releases that climbed the Beatport Top 100 charts and gathered the support of heavyweights: Guy J, Fehrplay, Gabriel & Dresden, Roger Shah, Matt Fax, Cristoph, and more. ZEHV continues to impress with every release and live performance, proving he’s a name to keep a close eye on.

Berlin-based Mona Moore has been a passionate lover of electronic music since the year 2000. Sooner or later, she just had to venture behind the decks. She had her debut in what she now calls "her living room" - the iconic Berlin club, KaterBlau. Since then, she has performed innumerable times both within and outside of the capital. 

Over the last year or so, Moore has entered the production side of things with original releases on Katz&Kauz and Rebellion der Traumer. Mona describes her music as describes a deep, groovy and melodic techno / deep house. Her philosophy when she is playing: "Sharing the love of music and thereby forgetting a few hours of space and time"

We have been following Mona Moore for a couple of years now, and love her unique take on melodic techno. We are super grateful for this exclusive mix, Institution 069: Mona Moore

Ottawa-based Spot Ghis is heavily influenced by Indie Dance and the Dark Disco sound. He aims to provide a sweaty, dance-floor-oriented experience at his shows. 

Influenced by some of the biggest names in the scene such as Theus Mago, Kimshies, Rigopolar, and Marc DePulse, Spot has been able to make a name for himself in Eastern Canada: in Ottawa at Afterlight at City At Night and in Montreal at M Bar and Le Passeport. He has played internationally at two highly successful Amsterdam Showcase gigs (2019, 2022) at Kashmir Lounge.

His motto is "All Bangers, No Fillers" which can be heard in his eclectic selection of tracks that span the 80s inspired dark rhythmic vibes to soaring electric guitar riffs. When he's not behind the decks, you can usually find him supporting local talent at events and experimenting with new sounds in his studio.

Our minds were certainly blown when we had the chance to see Spot Ghis play in Amsterdam during ADE 2022.

Over the years, Pedro's tracks have been supported by names such as Nick Warren, Hernan Cattaneo, Eelke Kleijn, Pablo Bolívar, Armen Miran, Matt Darrey and Airwave.

Capelossi’s DJ performances focus on underground dub house and dub techno, deep house, minimal and downtempo.

He has played innumerable events both in his current home of Barcelona, as well as back in São Paulo, and, indeed, around the world.
