DJ/Artist:
Sabine Hoffmann

Introduction:
Raised and based in Berlin, deeply connected to its vinyl culture. Sabine Hoffmann has carved out her space through a simple, dedicated approach: playing the music she loves, strictly on wax.

Sabine discovered her passion for spinning vinyl around the early 2000’s, when she was first exposed to electronic music. Today, her sets reflect this broad foundation, moving naturally between Techno and House.

Whether she is commanding the booth at legendary institutions like Berghain, Tresor, ://about blank or Heideglühen, her selections are driven by an intuitive understanding of the dancefloor and a profound respect for the roots of electronic music.

As a longtime face of Berlin’s renowned OYE Records, she sits at the source of crate digging culture. She is taking care of all OYE club events and In Stores happening at one of the record shops. Since January 2023 she is hosting the OYE Podcast series.

For Sabine, music has always been about more than just the individual performance. With her “Frauengedeck” initiative, she has spent years creating space for FLINTA* artists, prioritizing community and talent over hype.

Her newest project is “Dub Nation”. An event series brought to life by good old colleagues and friends Sabine Hoffmann and Kenneth Christiansen. Both share the unconditional love for the deeper and more dubby side of Techno and House.

She doesn’t aim for the spotlight, she aims for the right track at the right moment. That´s, what made her a respected and consistent voice in Berlin’s underground scene.

DJ/Artist:
Kontinum

Introduction:
Jonas, who grew up in the far north of Germany, moved to Leipzig after 20 years of wind and rain. There he was quickly inspired by the prevailing sounds of the Institut fuer Zukunft and finally started the Kontinum project in 2016 with a focus on atmospheric and dissociative Techno. Over the years, the palette of sounds grew and now ranges from ambient to deep techno to contemporary club-oriented techno.

In 2017, he founded the Nebula collective with a couple of friends and started hosting the first illegal events. In the course of time, Nebula has also found its way into the Leipzig club scene and is now an integral part of it.

2022 up to 2024 he held a residency at Institut fuer Zukunft and he still co-host of the infamous Aequalis events after the closure of IFZ.

DJ/Artist:
Pascal Hetzel

Introduction:
For over a decade, Pascal Hetzel has been a steady presence in Berlin’s large electronic music community. He developed a knack for long free flowing hardware jam sessions, that traversed the whole spectrum of electronic dance music from dark, industrial-tinged techno to classic motor city electro and italo disco-appreciating euphoria. In addition to his work as one half of CYRK, Pascal Hetzel continues to make a name for himself as a solo artist. His sound is deeply influenced by Detroit techno’s rich legacy. His first release on Juan Atkins’ groundbreaking Metroplex label that got released in June 2025, marks another milestone in his career. It’s his first solo release since his EP on another Detroit-based label: Interdimensional Transmissions’ sub-label Eye Teeth and his solo-album on the Belgian label Arkham Audio. Rest assured, there is more to come, both with CYRK and as a solo artist.
