Clubbing was in its infancy when Berlin-born Monika Kruse began her first residency at the Babalu bar in Munich, where she grew up. Classically trained in piano from the age of four, Monika has always had a love of music and her early sets spanned hip hop, funk, soul and early deep and vocal house. This new breed of electronic music seized Monika’s soul and imagination. Dance music was in its infancy and since there were few clubs where you could play techno she threw her own parties in illegal venues ranging from World War II bunkers to trams to empty houses. Fortunately the police were a little behind the musical curve… “I had some funny experiences,” she recalls, “But nice ones! They stopped us once in a tram because they thought the smoke machine was a fire!” On another occasion, they came and asked her to turn down the bass so the house they were playing in wouldn’t crumble. “Luckily, they didn’t have a clue about techno!” 
	
Monika Kruse's star is shining brighter than ever with a global fan-base hungry for her irresistible beats. In 2014 her club appearances included Space Ibiza with Carl Cox, Amnesia Ibiza with Marco Carola, We Love... at Space Ibiza, Sankeys Ibiza, Egg London and regular sets for her residency at Berghain Berlin.

She dazzled the festivals, too, playing events such as Time Warp, Melt Festival, 18 Hour Festival, Eastern Electrics UK, Ultra Music Festival in Miami and South America, Sonus Croatia, Awakenings ADE, and SEMF Stuttgart. She also hosted a stage at Amsterdam's Edit Festival, showcasing some of her favourite artists such as Pig & Dan, Nick Curly and Miss Kittin.
Classically trained in piano, Monika's love of music is broad and deep. She grew up buying records, accumulating a music collection that grew to span funk, soul, hip hop, and house music. When the revolutionary rhythms coming out of Chicago and Detroit captured her imagination it led her to throw parties in illegal venues including World War II bunkers, trams and empty houses.

Electronic music culture has evolved rapidly since those early days but Monika's talent and passion is constant. “My ethos is ‘sweat with a smile,’” she says. “I give love to my audience and they give it back. LOVE – it’s the best thing in the world. My aim is to help people forget whatever is going on in their life and have a little holiday – just get lost in my music.”
Monika is also an active producer. Her Terminal M label celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2015 and she chalked up hits this year with Pig & Dan collaboration 'Soulstice', a Beatport Top 10 techno anthem. The fantastic remix package of 'Summer Drops' was also a Beatport chart favourite, featuring Monika's track reworked by Nicole Moudaber, Uner, and Mendo. With just two releases Monika was one of Beatport's Top 100 techno artists for 2014. Look out for the special re-release of the album Monika Kruse @ Voodooamt 'Passengers' in celebration of Terminal M's 15th birthday.

Monika’s passion for spreading the love extends beyond the dancefloor, too. In 2000 she founded a charity called No Historical Backspin to fight racism and homophobia. “It’s sad and ridiculous that people still get beat up, or in some countries even killed, for being gay. Or get treated badly because of their skin colour, or gender, or because they’re a refugee” she says. “But it happens. Sharing and caring is the only way to make the world a safe place for everyone. It is important for DJs to show they respect everyone.” She is currently organising a No Historical Backspin party at Berghain. Funds raised will go to Amadeu Antonio Stiftung, which supports victims of hate-crimes and campaigns against right-wing extremism.
Her charity work, like her DJing and production, is an expression of Monika’s faith in the transforming power of music. “It was my first love,” she says. “Music was my best friend. It never let me down. In good times music was there and in bad times music was there.”

DJ Alice D. is a product of Basel's 90ies Techno Culture and it's psychedelic movement. Basel, the city with the mystical touch alongside the rhine river, with outskirts reaching into 3 countries has always been home to a wide variety of cultural and artistic expressions to find inspiration in. She started playing records at the age of 15, after many years of musical education inspired by her grandfather, a passionate musician, and because she fell in love with electronic music and especially progressive Trance music. From 2003-2010 she played more and more gigs, from progressive house to minimal/electro, techhouse/techno and back. She got more and more offers to play abroad. She had to realize that her life didn't allow for so much travelling and creative work at that time. With a very heavy heart she decided not to go for art by halves.
After a 10 years break from active DJing to focus on her biggest love, her son, she's now back at the turntables. Meanwhile she finished a 4 years yoga teacher training with IYP Waldkirch DE and was exploring ways to incorporate the yogic teachings into the artwork she does. This is why she now considers playing live more like a yoga lesson rather than an actual appearance.
In 2023 she started to curate her own parties and festivals again to finally give her hometown the credit it deserves and she's always dreamed of.

Gogo is, unquestionably, one of the most popular and most successful Swiss DJ's. Whether behind the decks, or as a promoter of cult parties, or as a producer of top tracks, this name stands out.

In 1987 the still young techno culture in Zürich was heavily influenced by Gogo. He set up the first Zürich underground techno club Illusion Dance in 1991. When hardly anybody was aware of what the term 'progressive music' really meant Gogo made Swiss clubbing history, thanks to his progressive nights at The Roxy. Gogo's real breakthrough came during the years 1995/96 when he started his own party sessions: House of Love. At the no.1 radio station of Zurich Radio 24 he mixed for 1 1⁄2 year the Friday night Session Sputnik Radio. 2006 Gogo get the opportunity to play in Locarno on the Piazza Grande. 15’000 people, a massive stage and excellent crowd. He was the supporting act for Depeche Mode! He played at the most famous clubs around the world. He brings people from all over the world to new levels of excitement with his outstanding style and he's even carried his sound to China, where he has been warmly welcomed ever since. The Dutch label Cyber Records contracted him as one of their main producers. He released and remixed tracks of well known artists and had a huge success with his records on the English label Hooj. Since then Gogo has published more than thirty tracks, which the UK's well-respected DJ Magazine described as being amongst 'the deepest tracks ever'. an attribute which doesn't need any more explanation. In March 2001, DJ Gogo and his partners made a dream come true: they took over the former Matrix club in Zürich and re-opened it as Club Q.
