Kabi's sound is heavily inspired by everything 90s: proper techno tools, old-school dub tracks, and loads of hip-hop samples. He believes techno is closely related to the music played by our ancestors thousands of years ago. With each track, he aims to emulate a kind of tribal ritual, infused with the mechanized sounds of our time. In his sets, he seeks to build a constant, hypnotizing soundscape of rhythms and voices, drawing listeners in deeper and deeper - like a shaman would in ancient times.

Dömötörfy Bóra, known by her artist name Rozalina, is a Budapest-based DJ and a resident at AETHER Club and Funkful Records since 2024. Her sets span multiple styles, often entertaining the audience with surprising genre fusions. While her main focus is on techno, trance, and breakbeat, her selection doesn’t stop there—she is also drawn to mental tribe, tek, hard trance, and other fast-paced genres.

Rozalina believes in the concept of “dancing-meditation,” where dance serves as a full connection between the body, mind, and soul, as well as a form of self-expression. She considers it important to raise awareness of this among younger generations, whose partying habits are often still in development.

Her goal is to challenge meaningless trends through her artistry and create genuine stories, emotions, and experiences in her sets—ones that nourish the soul and reflect the depths of our inner selves in a way that is readable even to ourselves.

Together with Meduzah, she co-runs Aether: Voyage, a party series hosted at AETHER Club.
