A 2023 highlight for many Wonderers, Lipelis welcomed the rising sun at Solar Village on Sunday morning with a vibrant and unforgettable performance.

Revered Danish electronic producer Kasper Bjørke has quietly been a consistent force over decades, steadily rising in the ranks with his eclectic and artful approach to disco and all that falls around it.

His latest album, “Puzzles,” was released earlier this year and showcases further versatility and focusses on the “deep roots in the classic disco groove.”

Featuring collaborations with a diverse array of artists, the album is a testament to Bjørke’s ability to effortlessly blend genres while maintaining his signature sound – whether it’s dark and mood driven or rooted in those euphoric club moments which are soaked in synths and melody.

As a DJ he is wildly eclectic, drawing for leftfield sounds which are rooted in EBM, New Wave, Nu-Disco, House and beyond.
 

From classic bangers to new school disco, this one cements his longstanding presence at the forefront of indie dance and demonstrates why he is such a powerhouse in the booth.

Max Essa (@max-essa) has been active as a producer and DJ since the early 90s, initially releasing music on labels including Warp Records and Paper Recordings and DJing alongside the infamous D.i.Y Sound System.

His later work, for labels like Is It Balearic? Recordings, went on to be play-listed by legends such as Andrew Weatherall and David Mancuso, gaining him a devoted following and DJ bookings around the world.

Albums for the Japanese major label, Victor Entertainment ('Vacations Never Taken' 2015) and Music For Dreams ('Lanterns' 2018), plus EPs for labels including Hell Yeah! Recordings and Razor N Tape (with Eddie C), and a constant stream of remixes for labels like Compost, Ubiquity, Faze Action and Leng have shown him to be a prolific and deeply imaginative producer.

From 2010 - 2023 he was a resident DJ at the Lone Star parties, and later the Zim Zam Zu! events at the legendary, Bar Bonobo and for over a decade has been a resident at the ever popular, Aoyama Tunnel in Tokyo.
