Forniva is a music producer and DJ from Sarajevo, currently based in Valencia, Spain. Renowned for his signature sound — a fusion of driving basslines, tight grooves, and emotive melodies — Forniva has carved out a distinct place in the electronic music scene.

With releases on acclaimed labels such as Katermukke, Steyoyoke, Purified, and Einmusika, his tracks have earned the support of global icons including Armin van Buuren, Sasha, Solomun, Maceo Plex, Damian Lazarus, Butch, Karmon, Loco Dice, Nicole Moudaber, Kölsch, Dixon, Agents of Time, Dubfire, WhoMadeWho, Eelke Kleijn, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, D-Nox, and Innellea, among others.

In 2016, Forniva became the resident DJ and event planning manager of Silver & Smoke, Bosnia’s most renowned underground club. The venue became synonymous with quality underground sound, hosting influential artists like HOSH, Eelke Kleijn, Patrice Bäumel, Edu Imbernon, Traumer, Brigado Crew, Quivver, YokoO, Cid Inc, BOg, and Third Son, with whom Forniva frequently shared the decks.

Beyond his hometown residency, Forniva has performed across the Balkans in leading venues such as Carpe Diem (Hvar), Ambasada Gavioli (Izola), Mladost (Belgrade), Aquarius (Zagreb), Crkva (Rijeka), SoundFactory (Zagreb), RatCat Tunel (Šibenik) and Monokel (Ljubljana). He has also played at major regional festivals including Freshwave, Festival 84, and Garden of Dreams, sharing stages with Henry Saiz, Guy J, Jeremy Olander, Oxia, and Olderic.
A defining highlight of his career came in 2019, when he performed at the Exit Festival’s Dance Arena alongside Solomun, Tale Of Us, Adriatique, and Satori.

Inspired by that experience, Forniva spent the following two years creating his debut studio album with long-time collaborators Sonic Union (London) and Eleven Sins (Eindhoven). Released on London-based Lowbit Records, the 10-track album received widespread acclaim from both fans and industry peers.

Since moving to Valencia in 2022, Forniva has been on an exceptional creative run, releasing music on some of the scene’s most respected labels. His single “Costa Blanca” (with Veljko Jovic) on Multinotes was featured in Beatport’s Top Streamed Tracks 2023: Indie Dance and reached #12 on Beatport’s Best of Indie Dance 2023 chart. Another collaboration with D-Nox, titled “Metamorphosis” on Einmusika, climbed to #3 among the label’s best-selling tracks. His debut EP on Artmiding (Annett Gapstream’s label) peaked at #5 on Beatport’s Indie Dance Top 100 Releases.

In 2024, Forniva began collaborating with Olivier Weiter, resulting in a string of successful releases — including an EP on 3000 Grad, the single “Victoria” (featured on Steyoyoke’s Couple Affair vinyl and Anthology Series – Transient Frequencies), and an EP on Beatfreak Recordings with Sonic Union.
His return to Einmusika in 2025 brought the collaboration “Apollo” with Olivier Weiter, featured on the celebrated Bella Mar compilation curated by Einmusik. His track “Neon Sky” on Katermukke gained massive support from Armin van Buuren and Nora En Pure, leading to a follow-up release on Purified Records titled “Delusional.”
Dutch artist Estiva later remixed his track “In The Ocean” (originally on 3000 Grad), which reached #7 on Beatport’s Progressive House Top 100.

With a growing catalog of charting releases and collaborations, Forniva continues to push boundaries in the electronic music landscape — delivering deep, melodic, and dancefloor-driven experiences that reflect his vision and passion for sound.

His unique sound expression is going to reach again the techno scene for some pure damages.

Anetha is a French artist, DJ, producer, label manager, talent agency co-founder and a trained architect.

Transmitting the glossy textures of techno, trance and experimental music, Anetha whips up bouncy basslines, stomping kickdrums, glorious melodies and a sprinkling of melancholic motifs, sharing her sound in seminal clubs and legendary festivals worldwide. From the industrial setting of Berghain, the sleek surroundings of Hï Ibiza, the dome of Gashouder and the open-air haze of Stone Techno, Anetha has garnered a loyal audience across the Americas, Europe, Australasia and beyond. Delivering lush and luminous productions and DJ sets, the Bordeaux-based artist works with attention to detail, creative construction, and nimble mixing — as one would expect from an artist with an architectural background.

2024 marks the release of Anetha's long-awaited album on Mama told ya. The ten-track LP honours her ephemeral taste in electronic music, welding a palette of post-club, techno, trance, experimental, nu-wave, rave, and DnB, and features Anetha's own voice, literally and figuratively. The album tells the story of Anetha's trajectory so far and explores ecological awareness, femininity, toxic masculinity and unwarranted opinions in the music industry. In true Anetha style, she conveys these themes with playfulness and a touch of irony across the album.

Several releases colour Anetha's discography, from her debut EP 'Ophiuchus' on Berlin-based label Work Them in 2015 and a myriad of EPs, singles and remixes on imprints like Anagram and OAKS and her own label, Mama told ya.

Launched in 2019 and co-founded by Anetha and her skilled, close-knit team of friends and family, Mama told ya platforms rising stars and encourages them to express themselves through music, no matter the stage of their journey. Limited edition and earth-friendly merch, including clothing and fragrance, extends the realm of Mama told ya alongside label showcases.

And then, there's Fané.e. It's a new label from Anetha and the MTY family. Every release follows a seasonal schedule, where tracks will be available to download and stream for a finite period until blossoming once more the following season. The label aims to share high-quality, genre-fluid productions without the restrictions of a vinyl-led imprint and to cultivate a more environmentally friendly way to consume music. 

In 2020, Anetha launched the talent agency Mama loves ya to nurture emerging artists worldwide. When it comes to sustainability, the agency walks the walk. Mama loves ya works with the carbon management project Greenly, helping offset, reduce and compensate for its carbon footprint and decrease CO2 emissions. Actions include implementing eco-riders and operating an open calendar on the MLY website, showing promoters where and when each artist is due to play, thus reducing travel distance between bookings.

Born in Bordeaux to nu-wave and electroclash-inclined parents, Anetha moved to London and then Paris, where she studied and graduated in architecture. There, she co-founded the label and party series Blocaus in 2012, honing her skill as a DJ and shaping her profile on the Parisian scene for the guts of ten years.

Now, Anetha has evolved into a fully established and globally recognised artist, blurring the lines between art, music and fashion through her artistry and relationships with fashion designers Marine Serre and Rombaut. If anyone can balance the tasks of touring, producing, and co-managing two record labels and a talent agency with poise, it's Anetha.

Sound> Classifying Flores’s sound is a difficult feat, and that is precisely the  point. His personality and experience are present in every track he produces, resulting in a dark, groove driven sound. Luis’s interaction with the machine becomes the listeners’ interaction with auditory landscapes of eeriness, altered states and paranoia. A minimal use of elements results in a rich spectrum of textures and a dark and trippy dance floor pull. Live shows, improvisational in nature, can last anywhere from 2- 5 hours, resulting in a hypnotic exploration of the possibilities of electronic production.

Bio> In the more than 17 years he has been producing electronic music, Luis Flores has not only made a name for himself but has been at the forefront of a movement that made the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, a hot spot for electronic music production and events. At the center of this movement was Nopal Beat Records, a label he ran from 1998 to 2006. At the same time, he also worked with the city’s cultural bureau to produce a string of massive, free public events that could bring electronic music to a wider group of people and provided a stage for local producers.

In 2007, he returned to the studio focused once again in his techno roots which quickly yielded results like his enduring relationship with L.A.’s Droid Behavior or the demand for his live shows.

In 2009 the release of the “Damage” EP on Droid Recordings, established Flores as an international artist with its immediate success, making the charts of artists such as Speedy J, The Detroit Grand Pubbahs and Chris Liebing’s Best 10 of 2009. In 2010, Dietrich Schoenemann’s Hidden Agenda released “Pain + Prosthetics”, an EP which among other things includes a collaboration with Canadian: Vitamins 4 U.

Flores published “Love Your Machine” under the German imprint Micro.Fon the following year. Further exploring the audiovisual aspect of his music, he created the video teaser for the single using J.G. Ballard’s “Crash” as reference and inspiration.

In 2012 he returned to Droid for the release of “New Flesh” which included remixes by label owner Drumcell and CLR’s Brian Sanhaji. This year was also marked by people's interest in his sound with remix requests for legendary names like Jam n Spoon and The Advent.

2013 began with his first collaboration with Berlin based producer Material Object and the release of the “Crowd Control” EP under the Impact Unit moniker for the French label Silent Steps and in 2014 he released “Rituals of Submission” on Detroit’s Blank Code, “Test Pattern” EP in the Spring for CLR and the “Metal” remix for Black Asteroid under EDLX.

He began 2015 with the the release of “43” on Alex Bau’s Credo compilation and with his 3rd release for Droid Recordings, the “Static Forces” EP.

Luis has represented México at the Meet in Beijing, ADE in Amsterdam, Borderline Festival in China, Brussels BEMF, among others.

A key figure on the Dutch scene since 1991. An international headlining artist known for his sets in Berghain, Space Ibiza, Womb Tokio, Watergate, his frequent Elrow gigs or headlining every major festival in the Netherlands. Gem Records label boss responsible for moving the careers of Egbert, Enrico Sangiuliano and Reinier Zonneveld forward. Steady producer of countless essential techno classics for over 25 years. One of the most original and down to earth pioneers of electronic music on the planet. All legitimate ways to describe Jeroen Verheij a.k.a. Secret Cinema.
