Under Rave : u.r.trax invite Translucid - 17 Mars 2022

Lukas Akata is the co-founder of Frankfurt based collective and event series "Project Operator".

Over the years, Lukas Akata has fine-tuned his own individual DJ style, which is a blend of bass-heavy Electro, Breakbeat and Acid featuring subtile EBM influences. Dutch westcoast and Detroit inspiration breathe raw energy into his sets. Each performance is a journey along the darker, more intense side of electronic music, featuring dark basslines, retro synths and driving percussions.

In addition to his DJ performances, Akata is also a prolific music producer. He works intensively with hardware synthesizers in his studio to create his unique sound. His EP "Pressure Zone" is a standout example of his creative work, mainly falling into the IDM, Breakbeat, and Electro genres. More productions are planned for later this year.

As the co-founder of Project Operator since its launch in 2018, Akata has been keen to challenge musical status quos within Frankfurt. This event series happens every few months and is a paradise for lovers of underground electronic music. Through the careful crossovers of line-ups, his selections always keep genre boundaries unscathed, putting quality and innovation into the front row, catering to an open-minded audience.

"blue steel – a Warsaw-based producer and occasional DJ. His style blends bass, IDM, trance, techno, experimental and breaks with a recent infusion of adventurous, fantasy-like energy from his self-released EP, Chapter Runthrough. For the upcoming SIM show, he’ll present his heavily sampled, club-oriented material in a producer’s set that straddles the line between a track and a song. Expect vintage samples with a modern edge, intricate motifs, and uplifting harmonies layered over diverse rhythms to get you moving and emotional."

Nora Asteroid lands like a Swiss comet in this heady, murky, swirl of an hour. Tunes from Solma, RunaRift, and Maara comprise an hour matching subdued trance logics with dense atmospherics and technical earworms. Comprises neither on drive nor rhythm to deliver something genuinely hypnotic. Gets a bit bouncy towards the end too.

Provocative and exploratory, Passif made his debut on the Parisian LGBTQIA+ fetish scene, playing for groups such as La Squat and La Hole. Then he headed off to the land of the rising sun, where he made his mark on the Tokyo underground scene, playing for Vixlatixn alongside Goth-Trad and Mustang. He has been invited by experimental duo Mira to take up their radio residency at HKCR, by DJ Monique Destruction to play on Rinse Radio for the Queer Cult, and more recently on Kiosk Radio.  Making a name for himself on the French scene, notably at Flash Cocotte, with his experimental sounds and articulate sets, Passif is part of a new generation of queer artists defending a plural vision of electronic music, where all genres blend into a lyrical and apocalyptic narrative.
