As a producer, musician, DJ and serial collaborator, Chris Schwarzwälders distinctive style of deep, restrained house is hard to pin down, but you’ll always know it’s him when you hear it. 

Born in Frankfurt am Main in the 80s, he started playing hiphop in the 90s. While making beats on his MPC2000, he dropped into Offenbach’s Robert Johnson club and fell in love with techno. 

In 2009, Chris moved to Berlin and started DJing at KaterHolzig, where he found a group of people who thought about music in the same way he did. In contrast to the trends of the late 00s, the sounds being made from this little paradise on Berlin’s river Spree were slower, softer, and more soulful than a lot of what was being played in clubs at the time. 

It was here that Chris began to cement his reputation as both a solo producer and collaborator, who was capable of bringing his trademark sounds to a whole number of side-projects - many of which have gone on to play to crowds around the globe. He joined the Feathered Sun collective in 2013, together with a group of friends including Acid Pauli, Nu, Jo.Ke and Raz O’Hara. Dreamy, groovy and often improvised, the collective represented a special kind of musical freedom in which a group of producers came together to create something new in a singular, live moment. 

At the same time, Chris’ friend Mira was making moves of her own, and they started to play back-to-back sets, soundtracking the legendary Monday mornings of KaterHolzig, and now, Kater Blau. The two, who are both residents at Kater Blau, have now been playing together internationally for almost a decade, and have formed a common musical understanding that translates throughout every one of their sets - deep, clubby and melancholic. This partnership has also carried on into the studio, where they have collaborated on numerous hits. 

His most light-hearted side comes out in collaboration with Iannis Ritter, where the two musicians take on a weirder, more melodic & electro approach than Chris’ other proejcts. 

If you were to ask him, Chris would describe himself as reserved, logical, rational, melancholic and humorous. Which is why you’d never hear him telling you about the hundreds of nightclubs and festivals he’s played around the globe, or the number of hits he’s had with his productions. If you’re lucky though, Chris might tell you about his favourite synthesizers, and get lost in a conversation all about electronics and sound. Which is exactly where Chris wants to be - lost in electronics and sound.

Berlin-based, London born DJ & CONTR4ST Label owner, fka.m4a has become a stalwart of underground music with a heady blend of Italo, HI- NRG and House. With several Boiler Room appearances under his belt - clocking up over half a million streams combined - plus shows everywhere from Berghain / Panormar Bar, Timewarp, Tomorrowland to Awakenings, features in Mixmag and Electronic Beats, plus Peggy Gou in his corner as a mentor, his stock is firmly on the rise. 

Born in London, music was always front and centre in his family home, his mother playing music to him through headphones while he was still in the womb. Citing acts whose USP was female empowerment as the first music he found for himself, the likes of Spice Girls and Lil Kim were early musical influences, eventually leading him to start DJing on the queer scene in London. 

“I was working on the Soho & East London circuit” he says. “I was mainly doing guestlist and hosting but eventually they asked me to DJ and I spent a few years cutting my teeth on that scene.” 

Learning how to work a crowd as a pop DJ, seeing Honey Dijon DJ on his first trip to Berlin in 2016 led him down the rabbit hole of electronic music and led to a shift in his focus. 

“I completely fell in love with the storytelling element of her set,” he says. “I spent the next year immersed in dance music culture and started playing the electronic room at gay nights.” 

Moving to Berlin in 2019, the pandemic quickly put a stop to his burgeoning DJ career before a switch to recording streams from his apartment during covid saw his profile blow up, leading to signing with an agency and bagging his first Panorama Bar set when lockdown lifted. 

With Peggy Gou taking him under her wing and asking him to regularly open for her (“She’s helped me out so much and we have a really strong relationship,” he says. “She calls me her daughter and I call her my mother,” he laughs.), fka.m4a’s schedule got hectic with sets everywhere from Warehouse Project to Sonar and a focus on producing their own music. 

“It’s important for me to make music that works in the club,” he says. ‘But most importantly, it’s about making something that comes straight from the heart. I think I’ve achieved that on my first EP and I can’t wait for people to connect with it.” 

With an event series in the pipeline and a summer stacked with festival shows from Hï Ibiza to Terminal V, fka.m4a has firmly cemented himself as one of the leading artists in the underground space.

With a passion that radiates and a refined music taste that never goes unnoticed, Manda Moor continues to shape the underground with every performance and release.
With roots in France and a deep connection to the golden era of Chicago House, Manda’s sound is an intoxicating blend of groove-driven house and techno, infused with raw emotion, bounce, and bold character. Her sets are as flavorful as they are explosive, earning her B2B slots with powerhouses like Jamie Jones, Loco Dice, Nic Fanciulli, Nick Curly, Cuartero, Prunk, Reboot, Yaya, and wAFF — artists who not only respect her artistry but actively champion it.

Having topped charts on labels like Hot Creations, Kaluki, Cecille, SB Recs, Paradise, and Tamango, Manda’s breakout EPs What U Want and Picante both claimed #1 on Beatport, cementing her as a production talent to be reckoned with. Her sound has received unwavering support from legends like Carl Cox, Luciano, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, Louie Vega, DJ Sneak, Paul Johnson, and Seth Troxler.

Beyond her personal success, Manda Moor is building a movement through Mood Child — the acclaimed label, event series, and lifestyle brand she co-founded with Sirus Hood. Voted Beatport’s Hype Label of the Year, Mood Child is known for its authentic community spirit, analog-rich sound, and unforgettable parties. The imprint stands out for its bold, genre-blurring identity and storytelling spirit, with the particularity of releasing only VAs that showcase distinct moods — Wild Moods, Dreamy Moods, Trippy Moods, and more.
As a party series, Mood Child is a space for risk-taking and self-expression, where DJs are encouraged to play outside the box — shifting from disco to dark minimal, from tropical rhythms to hypnotic grooves — while always staying true to their story. It’s more than a party; it’s a celebration of mood, unity, freedom, and musical culture.

Whether it’s at Amnesia Ibiza, Space Miami, Sunwaves, UNVRS, Cercle, Creamfields, The Warehouse Project, Printworks, or Hi Ibiza, Manda brings a feverish energy that connects with both seasoned ravers and the next generation of house lovers. Her presence on platforms like Circoloco Radio, Mixmag, Ibiza Global, and DJ Mag only reinforces her reputation as an artist who delivers — in the booth, in the studio, and on the global stage.
