Ronni und Neeks @ Takura Loading

@lolakind brought her diverse cultural influences and love for music to our Takura RECONNECT Event back in January 2023. 
She delivered an eclectic ETHNO HOUSE set, combining sounds of nature with electronic music and bringing the vibes to the Gefahrenstofflager-Floor. 
A perfect blend of catchy beats, high - energy drops and uplifting melodies that got us moving and grooving! 
Don't miss out!✨

Together with our friends from Tranceportsoundsystems and MUCHA we hosted a Rave Against Repression at Autonomes Zentrum Köln.  Due to constant repression by state authorities and the persecution of the civil press against antifacists we showed solidarity by creating this event and donating the earnings of the night to Autonomes Zentrum itself, as well as „Ermittlungsausschuss Köln“, „Rote Hilfe Köln Leverkusen e.V.“ and one particular person being in an unjustified lawsuit.  Antifascism was, is and always will be necessary and no crime!

•Let The Beat Control Your Body• is the principle of Takura‘s Resident @dj_essal, as he delivers quality tunes, flowing back and forth between 90s Trance, smashing grooves, hi hat thunderstorms and Techno that takes your shoes off!

The four-member FlINTA*-DJ collective wants to serve as an empowering institution and connector in the queer cologne music scene - always ready to claim space in club culture and enter the stages with their genre-blending ass-shake tracks!>>

Takura Boxenstopp 001 - koii

@mfskathi from @kollektiv-antje served flawless house music on the Floora at Takuras Exile Event at Kulturbunker Köln-Mülheim.
She served a fine selection of house music, paired with a lot of energy, while her love for melodic vocals, housy rhythms and lots of disco ball ambience cannot be overlooked. She conjures somewhere between funky and dynamic while keeping you grooving all night long.

'SWEETNESS' / Skathi @ Takura Exile

Cologne based DJ and Producer @jjjayy delivering EBM and Dark Wave vibes to lure the sad kids to the dancefloor. Starting from vocal and sound patterns, soundscapes, synth sounds, lots of Electronics and IDM, his sounds ranges to straight EBM, New Beat as well as Darkwave and Postpunk – and all tunes around it.

'Im Wasser' / Jay @ Takura Exile

@tillary-exe formerly known as Ole the Explorer closes down the Mainfloor at Takura Exile.

Takura’s very own tillary.exe has developed his sound to an explosive mélange of various dance music genres. Emerging with a deep repertoire, ranging from harsh Breakbeats to glittering Trance, tillary forces himself to be spontaneous behind the decks and deliver a pure but nevertheless surprising experience. Expect shady Soundcloud-Gems, obscure Trance-Classics and the filthiest Basslines from Detroit.

'Legend in the Hood' / tillary.exe @ Takura Exile

@djsweetandsour tearing down the Floora with acid infused Hardtrance.

As a young newcomer in the genre of hardgroovy Acidtechno, her music is characterized by powerful basslines, fast rhythms and chatchy vocals. But she wouldn't be Sweet and Sour if she didn't add a touch of spiciness. Her sets are marked by powerful kicks and pulsating acid lines, taking the energy to a new level. 
She herself says: I try to create the darkest bunker out of every club, which then with all the trance sounds just makes fun and invites you to party. <3 Trancy bunker music <3

She is not afraid to cross genre boundaries and bring her personal touch to the techno scene. Her musical journey has only just begun, but she's already winning over fans with her energizing mix of sweet and sour.

‘Funana’ / Annemalie & DJ Plus Plus @Takura Exile

Once upon a time a Palestinian met a Bavarian at a party and discovered they share the same taste in music. This taste covers countless genres, instruments and time periods, but is unified by a fascination with Arab rhythms and the mijwiz, an Arab flute. 
Our sets balance our musical histories and the one sound we want to hear on the dance floor. We take the dance floor on a journey - from the Alps to a Berlin techno rave to a single man playing a concert in the Tunisian Sahara. We’re about destroying boundaries and accepting pluralism. But 
this is not something that any one person can do, so we ask all of you to join our crew of dancers so we can combine all our efforts and spirit to have an unbelievable party.
