DJ Swagger ain’t new to this. With over 35 vinyl releases and playing in clubs since the age of 15, Swagger spends all his time and effort to perfect his craft for the last 8 years non-stop. The multi-instrumentalist from Bielefeld, Germany just recently came through with his new album „Minor Major Grand Schemes“ on his own music and clothing imprint „Goddess Music“: Just another representation of his wide-spread sound without boundaries, MMGS covers the Swagger-sound from A-Z. From dark, clubby, speaker-busting baseline Techno to soulful UK Garage, Breaks and IDM, all with a pinch of Soul. Expect a wild ride through genres and time from his unique and uplifting DJ-Sets.

Bogotá-born, Berlin-based Tania Humeres Correa plays under the moniker of her own initials: THC. It’s not a gimmick – to hear a track slammed into another so deftly is a psychoactive experience.

THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way. High-energy without a loss of soul, hard-hitting and still very playful and very gay. We are reminded that techno need not be a gloomy, rumbling march, and that house has a whole range of attitudes at the same time ruthless and smiling. She blazes, to put it simply.

​Having heated Berlin dancefloors and airwaves for a few years, THC is now a resident at Radiant Love and Venus Vessels, and has begun working at the record label A7A. She plays regularly at HÖR radio, and has released mixes via Club Quarantäne, Rinse France, and Standard Deviation. The last year has also seen her playing alongside her brother Dominik as the duo unit S-candalo. Regardless of format, there are always those THC-signatures: punch; euphoria; and streaks of vocal samples intoning the classic dancefloor theme of unity, be it political, sexual, spiritual or some sweaty mixture of it all.
