Michel started DJ'ing in 1988 spinning the wheels of steel at small parties and birthday parties. In 1993 Michel got to play for 3 months at the Spanish club Pacha and in the same year he started his weekly radio show at System FM. Many local DJ..s and national stars such as 100% Isis, Marcello and Cellie rocked the turntables on air together with Michel. Also Michel gained respect playing gigs at clubs like Club Time and Catacomb Studios (both in Amsterdam), Waakzaamheid (Koog aan de Zaan), Fun Factory (Zaandam), the Looseclub parties, several bars and underground locations, playing alongside national and international heroes like Jerome, Steve Rachmad, Cellie, Shinedoe, Estroe, Carlijn, Erick E, Marcello, Isis, Per, Surgeon, Jay Denham, Space DJ'z, Thomas Krome and Rino Cerrone. From his and his friends love for house music the foundation Abstract was born in 1999, giving parties in i.e. Lichtfabriek in Haarlem, organising small underground parties at various cool locations and a weekly club/techno evening called Solid, which was held at Latido in Zaandam. In December 2002 “Abstract” started with giving parties at the Buk Buk in Heiloo. “Format” was the name of this new evening. Michel was one of the residents of Format. The last edition of Format was in may 2006 then Michel played together with Chris Hope. In the beginning 2003 Michel started to play on a new houseclassicsevening in Atlantis, Alkmaar. Many classicparties followed in 2003 &amp; 2004. In October 2006 a new techno evening was started in Atlantis, Alkmaar which is called “Testlab” Michel is hosting this new evening together with dj Ken. Every last Friday of the month they invite as well national as international dj’s. Although Michel prefers pleasing the crowd on dancefloors with his energetic and distinguishing techno sets, he has always been an allround DJ also playing clubhouse, techhouse, minimal, house classics and much more… One thing is clear: Everywhere Michel rocks the decks the crowd is bound to go out of it's mind!



Sylad is her musical alter ego. She initially fell in love with techno on the dance floor and, after a few years, decided to try her hand at DJing. Her sets are typically characterized by powerful, energetic beats combined with rawness, and at other times, interesting vocals or unique sounds. You could have heard her in cities like Łódź, Lublin, Krakow, Płock, Poznań, Warsaw and Sofia! She has supported artists such as Paolo Ferrara, Sept, Dekaii and Eargasm God.

Despite her success, Sylad remains a humble and passionate artist. She continually strives to perfect her craft and expand her musical horizons. Her constant exploration of new sounds and styles keeps her music fresh and innovative, and the sets she plays always tell a different story. In her spare time, she loves to "hunt" for new tracks, and one thing is certain – this passion never ends.

Sylad is not only a DJ but also a promoter and co-organizer of events under the banner of Szukam Techno. She is also the founder of the Szukam chłopaka/dziewczyny techno fan page and related groups, which she manages with a fantastic team. It's worth mentioning that she strives to promote the work of other artists while also contributing a small piece to the development of stronger techno in Poland.

KEPA [Psychedelic Gnosis]

"We find potential and strength in the dark and hidden". Venturing in to deep, hypnotic and psychedelic dimensions I explore the yin/yang of techno; sharing a palette of energies to let go and dive in to the rhythms and space of the present moment. 

Kepa is the alias of me, Josie, hailing from the artistic hub of Gothenburg, Sweden. At an early age, I have been influenced by dance and trance music as I've traveled and lived across the globe. I share my love for tunes that are curated to invite you on a journey. 

I debuted with Kepa at the classic space called Technotunneln in 2020 in Gothenburg and has since played at underground parties, Burns, bars, festivals, podcasts and radio - locally and internationally - like Technovember, Skogsgläntan, Ghost, Cellar Door, Liquid Moon, Organica, Rotbrand, Boaterland, Ivans Pilsnerbar, The Underground, Westland Norway and more.

Prior to the birth of Kepa, I started the Earth M project, which focuses on the dark/forest dimensions of psytrance. I debuted with this project with the Catalyst and Altered Visions in Malaysia; to find myself playing across Malaysia and at the Magic Mountain festival in Thailand. You may see me pop up with this project here and there.
