TONKASSETTE [Invites] 016 Bastian Balders

Dresden-based DJ and producer Malena pushes the boundaries of sound, structure, and perception. For her, electronic music means being radical, experimental, and uncompromising. In both her productions and DJ sets, she creates sonic spaces where heavy drums, driving breaks, and dark atmospheres shift perception and unleash new energy.

As part of the HTXSTHSTX label collective, Malena works alongside a diverse range of artists who together explore a wide spectrum of sounds – from downtempo to techno, rave, high energy, breakbeat, and drum & bass. Beyond releasing music, the collective also organizes events that are built on intimacy and integrity, creating spaces where freedom and sound collide. HTXSTHSTX stands as a platform for musical desires, visions, and sonic exploration.

For TONKASSETTE [Invites] 017, Malena delivers dystopian soundscapes that feel both haunting and inspiring. Broken rhythms, relentless drums, and atmospheric layers merge into a dark, intense journey. With heavy basslines, gritty synth textures, and hypnotic drive, her set carves out a unique and unmistakable sonic identity.
