Her message is to connect to the soul through the means of Techno music - to process pain and to heal oneself.
From the out- to the inside- pain will be followed by redemption.
Emotion and dynamics - dancing in purgatory.

With much anticipation we announce that our 46th episode will be played by Egotot!

Fast. Impulsive. Techno. Three words to establish and define what the artist known as Egotot is all about. The young musician, hailing from the deep south of Germany, sets quite the pace when it comes to his vision of electronic music, regarding both tempo as well as quality. His beats, be in the studio or in the DJ booth, appear to come and arrange themselves seemingly with no effort. A Rave-infected sonic testing ground without ever feeling like a simple Rave pastiche. Avision of Techno that is obviously inspired by its sound of the 90s, but neither exceedingly aggressive, nor excessively happy. Egotot has a special taste for rugged, up-tempo grooves which demand their own time to breathe and reveal their power. A sonic all-purpose weapon to be used on, for, and by the dance floor.

From Berlin via Vienna to London, Paris and Madrid – for fans of Hardgroove all over Europe, there is no way around Caniche. Oscillating between tooly, rough and funky, her sets are packed with Rap-reminiscing vocals and Tribal elements – while old school percussions build the rhythmic foundation.

Caniche’s signature sound is also reflected in her productions. With a highly energetic track on Twice Infinity's sub label Groovecore United, an upcoming VA contribution on Numerus

And there is yet more to come.

Hitting the decks at clubs like Tresor, OXI or ÆDEN, Caniche is a regular in Berlin’s most renowned booths. What’s more, her sound and spirit have long gained popularity outside of the German capital, bringing her into exceptional clubs such as Vienna’s Grelle Forelle, London’s Corsica Studios, Munich’s Rote Sonne, and soon also IFZ in Leipzig as well as Tresor West in Dortmund. No wonder – as she simply knows how to properly heat up a floor with her distinct flair for the right groove.
