Mattia Fois and Panik Attak are two Italian artists based in London, united by a shared language of raw, hypnotic techno.

Coming from opposite ends of Italy, Mattia from Sardinia, Jacopo from the North-East, they honed their sound through years immersed in club culture and studio work, drawn to the darker realms of electronic music.

Their individual styles collide in a place of tension and drive: Mattia brings distorted textures, broken patterns, and a taste for unpredictability; Panik Attak delivers sharp, acid-laced grooves and fast, precise rhythms.

Together, their sound is raw and focused dark techno built on pressure, grit, and intricate detail.

Salvador Perea, aka Retter, is a Colombian DJ, producer, and electronic music enthusiast who moved to Berlin five years ago to immerse himself in its underground scene and contribute to its vibrant culture.

Initially drawn to techno, his sound evolved within Berlin's dynamic landscape. 
As Retter, he spans a wide range of electronic music - venturing into experimental territories while keeping the dancefloor alive with intrigue. 
An outlet of raw energy and hypnotic grooves, his sets combine precision and unpredictability.

He is also part of the trio 2001 Space Odyssey with Nikita T and Fase023, blending live improvisation and experimental fusion to push musical boundaries.
During the pandemic, Salvador found inspiration in organizing and playing at raves, which led to the creation of Técnica - a label and event series. Técnica's releases gained attention, and its events in underground and illegal clubs helped establish its distinct presence in the Berlin scene.
