BIO
Zaatar زْعَتر music is the peculiar combination of both her origins : Moroccan and Belgian. 

She finds her inspiration in the post punk and EBM movement of the late 80’ and early 90’.

Her tracks are therefore built around a gritty and rough baseline that sets the mood for frenetic body dances. Melodies and sounds inherited from her home country - Morocco- completes her soundscape in a way that is her own.

During her DJ sets she invites the public on a captivating journey from light to darkness, an oscillation between joy and melancholy sometimes punctuated by oriental melodies.

Co-founder and resident of the Laisse Tomber Les Filles collective, she works to celebrate women on the decks, freedom and diversity, values that never leave her, especially behind the decks.

She joins the label Ritmo Fatale with the track Abiad Al Layali already considered as an EBM reference.

Some words by Belaria:

"This mix explores the rich tapestry of women's voices across generations, weaving together melodies that resonate with both the past and the present. Drawing inspiration from the iconic singers of the 70s/80s such as Judie Tzuke, D.Dee Jackson, and Tiziana Rivale, as well as contemporary artists like Void Vision, Zanias, and Jolisa, this mix is a tribute to their talent and influence on my music tastes. Throughout this hour, you'll hear a fusion of contemporary tracks, beloved classics, and innovative remixes. Each song is carefully curated to blend the nostalgia of yesteryear with the freshness of today's music scene, creating a dynamic journey through sound and time."

Sissies of Mercy is the back-to-back collaboration between longtime best-friends sam & austen. Born out of their love for dancing together, their sound as a duo balances playful nostalgia and raunchy darkness to command a sweaty dancefloor.  Weaving together diva-fueled house, sparkly 80's pop, nasty acid, and cheeky electro, Sissies' sets create shared moments of freedom and transcendent joy fueled by love and light. 

Between their residency at Gabriela, frequent sets at Brooklyn institutions such as Paragon, House of Yes, Bossa Nova Civic club, and at least one gig basically everywhere else, Sissies are forging a path for TS world (nyc) domination.

BIO

Italian dj raised in the outskirts of Geneva, Pastram steps out under the banner of Cruel Machine Booking. Distinctly drawn towards dark atmospheres, Pastram developed a strong focus on raw rhythmics, assuming an intense form of communication where cathartic echoes and cold synths become intricate. An intense musical fusion of the past and the present transcending the line between body music, grinding post punk, industrial, and wave.

SCI+TEC presents a new release from Brazilian artist White Sheep, the alias of veteran producer and event curator Gustavo Peluzo. Known for his modern house productions, White Sheep delivers a track that fuses the punch of 2000s electro with the textures of contemporary indie electro.

Adding to the package is a remix from Romanian DJ, producer, and “Take Notes” label owner Mahony, whose past release on SCI+TEC earned strong support. With a career spanning residencies at Bucharest’s Kristal Club, regular appearances at Sunwaves, and releases on Vatos Locos, Tamango, and Mindshake, Mahony brings his minimal-groove signature to reinterpret White Sheep’s vision for the dancefloor.

The result is a meeting of two distinctive voices in modern electronic music.
