Modestly proud of our inventiveness, we present the DJ duo HypnoreKS97, made up of local underground stalwarts HKS97 and Hypnorex (half of Sportbrigarde Sparwasser). When we were looking for a good DJ to play alongside the legendary German punk band PISSE at our festival, we had such a hard time deciding which of those two we should ask that we just forced them to share the slot. With this mix as a teaser, we already know that there could have been worse choices for the job. See you for some serious Dosenbier party at ://about blank!

Bio Anna Z
https://ra.co/dj/annaz

ANNA Z has woven her presence into the tapestry of renowned clubs and events such as Berghain, Fuse, Tresor, Blitz, Gewölbe, RSO, Ohm and others. Her distinctive performances, overflowing with inventive sound design experiments, have become a defining feature of her influence within the dynamic musical environments.

Born beyond the Arctic Circle ANNA Z´s first visual experiences emerged from an environment whose images were marked by the northern lights, the snow, the dark and dense forests and the animals within. Very early she started taking several art curses, while she enjoyed an education that was specialized on mathematics and physics. She gained a deeper insight into the world of sound, frequencies and music in the most intimate way by learning several instruments with a focus on guitar.

After her graphic design studies, during which she focused more on her artistic skills and learned to work with several programs from editing software to complex 3d modeling and programming, she worked as a designer and illustrator for several years. 

Anna moved to Berlin in 2012 and started studying architecture at the University of Arts Berlin (Universität der Künste Berlin). She soon got into contact with the Berlin electronic music culture, especially with the modular synth scene and started designing and manufacturing some of her own musical gear. 2015 ANNA Z started to work with the visual guidance of the WERK crew. She soon became a part of the operating crew and record label (with J.Manuel). Her graphics became the face of WERK and the project, and now it would be inconceivable without her work.

Her art comes from the most different experiments, including, programming, hardware, drawing, photographies, oil and acrylic painting, all this with the music in mind. Besides experimenting with the following programs: quartz composer, max, processing, grasshopper, adobe programs, ableton live. She started making music on her own. Working with Reaktor and Cycling 74, she is creating her own instruments.

ANNA Z is a member of SPANDAU20 family, a Berlin based record Label.

Since 2021 ANNA Z has her own radio show KOMI on Radio80k,a non-commercial community radio in Germany. Komi believe in the spirit of the forest and nature, is free and independent like a nordic wind.
KOMI is open for each art of electronic and contemporary music, each guest is free to bring the authentic for the mix.

About the mix: "In this mix, I highlight many FLINTA* producers whose tracks have been deeply influential in recent years. It also felt essential to honor the work of legends like K-Hand and Sophie.

Sopht - Launch

Sopht was never planned—it just happened, like a spark suddenly catching fire. One day in Berlin, Rae Spoon visited the studio. Alex played some of their tracks, Lianne Hall listened—and something shifted within her. That same day, she wrote lyrics and recorded vocals for three songs. From that moment on, the music just flowed.

Sopht is the non-binary pop project of musician Alexandre Decoupigny, now evolving into an open collaboration with renowned artist Lianne Hall. What began as Alex’s deeply personal solo project—a space to process profound transformation, gender discovery, ADHD, and complex love—has grown into Sopht Power, their first album together.

As non-binary elders in electronic music, Alex and Lianne weave shimmering, emotionally charged productions with haunting vocals and fearless old-school spirit. Their sound is both delicate and powerful, danceable yet deeply moving—music that invites listeners to pause, feel, and transform.

Together with visual artists Cyndcore and Aidan Rolls, they are creating Sopht World—an immersive, multimedia space where softness becomes strength and resilience is celebrated. Their debut EP will be released on Ickmachwelle Records, where Alex also works as a mentor and producer—marking the beginning of a new era of bold, emotional electronic pop music.
