Berlin’s Denise Bauer grew up surrounded by the best in electronic dance music. Falling in love with the classic sounds of Detroit and Chicago, her teens were spent immersing herself in club culture, honing her craft as a DJ and landing her very first gig at the legendary Casino in Berlin.

Denise’s musical style is vibrant and warm. Influenced by the likes of Sven Weisemann, Moodyman, 6th Borough Project, Kerry Chandler, Chez Damier and Omar S, the accomplished DJ captures the essence of house in every set, selecting records rich in soul and depth from the spectrum of deep, Detroit, disco infused and classic house.

Having performed at some of Europe’s finest venues including Rex Club (Paris), Watergate and about blank (Berlin), Denise thrives on a long set, working the room with style and finesse, she weaves seamlessly through genre and tempo, building positive vibes and drawing hips to the dance floor.

Caught at the threshold of overlapping worlds, memories, and autonomic forces, Van Boom conducts a critical artistic enterprise from his base in Kuwait. As a producer, DJ, and organizer embedded in the Arab states along the Gulf Region, Van Boom is a rare voice in a burgeoning underground music scene as unparalleled as it is pressured by social and state mechanisms.

Van Boom is by his own admission a terminal outsider. His penchant for eviscerating strains of future-cut dance state as much. Inhibited by the obligation to limit self-expression and artistic activity due to the top-down restrictions local to the region, his work questions what is forbidden and what is binary in an uncompromising context. Despairing grievances demand abrasive sonics, and Van Boom does not deliver less, though a self-reflective edge accompanies every extreme. Grappling with censorship and raging towards the state, Van Boom's sharp and metamorphosing music cathartically seeks kinship through depersonalised ciphers born of necessity.

His dread-laced hyper-industrial wares were first unleashed on the EP 'frown.' in 2019, however the following year's 'MORFEUS' EP for London's ANBA label was what sparked urgent attention. Van Boom has since featured on a number of shows on NTS Radio as well as being tapped for Boiler Room's Hard Dance mix series, and his collaboration with Slikback only heightened anticipation for further transmissions from the Gulf. Van Boom's visual output has also gained traction, with the product of an apparel collaboration with Bedouin Records finding support from ACRONYM 's Errolson Hugh. 

His debut album,  'Prosthetics', found a fitting home on Varg²™'s Cease 2 Exist label. 'Prosthetics' manifests the heady frustrations and tradition-tempered strains into a demonic cacophony of distorted rapture. Moments of introspection blur the ascent, balancing the sheer release with a self-conscious outsider's sentiment. A batch of remixes from a tight selection of vital producers accompany the album. With the breakthrough of 'Prosthetics,' Van Boom has received much critical praise, with Resident Advisor deeming his single ‘KAFIR’ as one of the Best Electronic Music releases of 2023. This surge of support culminated in his highly anticipated live performance debut at Berghain during the 2023 CTM Festival. Moreover, Mixmag has recognized Van Boom as one of the Top 25 artists to watch in 2024.

Encoded into the giddy fragmentation and acidic crescendos of Van Boom's work is a deep meditation of the meaning of difference and disobedience in very real circumstances.
