With having a background in cultural anthropology, documentary photography and film, Phuong-Dan is active on a project-specific basis in various fields, as a dj and curator. In 2021 he initiated dispari – a label and platform for all kinds of auditory publications, collaborations and performances at various places such as Kunsthalle Münster, Kunstverein München or Meakusma Festival. His DJ-sets are a hypnotizing and compelling blend of rhythms and influences – consistently exploring varying moods by shifting back and forth between musical fields with some sort of defiant approach. A good example of the latter are the Gatto Musculoso nights he hosts at Golden Pudel Club in Hamburg since 2006, which through the years have seen artists of every shape and size. This openness led him to noted clubs like Salon des Amateurs, De School and Robert Johnson, to festivals like Dekmantel, Positive Education and Berlin Atonal – but also to institutions like Haus der Kunst Munich, Gropius Bau or Kunsthalle Vienna.

Oüter is a young and dynamic Disk jockey hailing from the south of Spain, whose musical journey began in the underground corners of London. There, he emerged as a promoter, orchestrating illicit raves and playing in the raw energy of the city’s nightlife. It was during this formative period that he co-founded Breakfast Music, a record label that became a platform for his evolving sound and community-driven ethos.

He started residency with the Opia Records label, further solidifying his reputation in the underground scene. His journey has taken him from London to Berlin and now to his base in Barcelona, where he continues to push boundaries with his solo project, Telepatia Records.

Nathan Dawidowicz's path has been one of contrast and exploration. Born to a Polish-Lithuanian mother and Cameroonian father, they moved from Milan to Jerusalem at the age of six, growing up in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. While pursuing an academic path in design, music remained a constant companion, deeply rooted in childhood experiences playing the piano within religious ceremonies.

Though design became their formal study, it was music that provided a way to navigate life. Inspired by their father’s time as a DJ in Milan throughout the '80s and '90s, Nathan’s relationship with sound evolved, eventually leading them to Berlin, where they continued to explore expression through music.
In Berlin, they joined forces with Luspoderosa, a label based between Zurich and Berlin, known for its unconventional approach. This collaboration became the foundation for Nathan’s debut solo album, Sanctuary of Ideas—a deeply personal, cosmic exploration of memory, heritage, and the emotional landscapes of sound.

This mix is the recording of Nathan's set at Horrorscope's night at Sameheads on 10.01.25

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Ece Özel [28.04.25]

Intergalactic Gary has been one of our favorite DJs for many years, as his genre transcendence aligns perfectly with IT’s vision. This set was recorded in a very special circumstance, at Tresor 313, May 25, 2024 at the Tangent Gallery on Day 1 of Return to the Source. Originally scheduled for 2 hours, it naturally extended to almost 4 hours, which is the kind of thing that is possible at this party when just the right chemistry happens.

We had Intergalactic Gary on directly after the Model 500 live show in the Gallery, the room was already on fire. When he came on he totally captivated the room, the energy was palpable as he effortlessly went from all sorts of variants of techno and house and the raw essence of what makes them – from Italo disco to early Chicago and forms of electro, culminating in his effortless presentation of the timeless sublime jam “Amenity” by Link, a peak experience for everyone present. This kind of perspective on music is really elucidating and liberating, and made for one of the most memorable sets of the weekend – delivered by a true cult hero.
