Every event, statement or idea has its own circumstances that define the setting in terms of which it can be fully understood. And to fully understand KNTXT, the techno concept guided and hosted by Charlotte de Witte, you must experience it.

KNTXT has already profiled itself as a force to be reckoned with in the Techno landscape. Its objective is a clear one: to serve a quality techno experience driven by both national as international acts, while staying true to a genuine underground spirit.

All of this has resulted in some mind-boggling editions showcasing an impressive all star wall of fame and also receiving praise from several media such as Mixmag, DJ Mag and Red Bull Elektropedia (Best Really Big Party).

Manifest:
KNTXT /ˈkɒntɛkst/ noun
“The circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood.”

Deep Space Helsinki is a radio show hosted by Samuli Kemppi and Juho Kusti, serving you with the most essential underground techno since 2009.

The Amsterdam based neoprogwavegaze formation Kielzog (meaning ‘wake’ in Dutch) has sailed off on a quest for serenity and silence in the eye of the storm.

Ever since the before-times, Kielzog has been forging an atypical, hard-to-place sound, which steers course amid the receding waves of grunge, progrock, stoner, and electronica, arriving everywhere and nowhere in particular and giving place to something else.

Kielzog amplifies echoes of the impending climate doom and genocidal colonial violence merged with demands for freedom and justice for all, not for some. As long as the noise continues, resistance won’t die out.

Do travel with us in our Kielzog.



Now an established force in contemporary Techno, Mike Bierbach, better known under his stage name Rødhåd is someone who has seriously put in the work. Having cut his teeth DJing as a relatively unnoted (but well loved by those in the know) local in Berlin for 10 years, one could argue that by the time success knocked on his door, he was more than ready for playing the international stage. It was during these 10 years of obscurity when he refined his craft to become the singular DJ he is now. 

Launching his party-series-turned-label Dystopian in 2009 was what truly tipped the ball over for Rødhåd. In a time where the Berlin scene was heavily oversaturated by fluffy, miscellaneous dance music, he & his peers set out to form a platform for real techno. The reception to this was raucous. 

Although he has lauded productions and remixes to his name, DJing is his true forte. Before abandoning his day job as a draftsman in construction “The Red” (as some call him due to his gingered, bearded appearance) was known for playing very long sets in Berlin’s most notorious hideaways. 

With an album, several EPs & remixes for a multitude of different artists under his belt, Rødhåd the producer has received equal praise as Rødhåd the DJ. Dystopian has hosted most of his releases, but in 2018 he founded a new label WSNWG that serves as a home for collaborative productions, excavated in sessions at his East-Berlin studio with his peers such as Lucy, Alex.Do, & Antigone.
