Artist:
Cellarkalt

Introduction:
Cellarkalt, that’s the oldest project of Benedikt Schmidt (Snuffo / Snuff Crew). Launched in the late 90s in the basement of his parent’s house, it’s about creating experimental soundscapes and keeping a DIY and Dada approach. Cellarkalt music got releases by labels such as Konglomerat, New York Haunted, Jetztwelt. Ardetha Records, Elephant Recordings, Bella Ursa Recordings and Killekill – plus through cellarkalt.bandcamp.com

Artist About The Set:
The live set, Cellarkalt recorded for NovaFuture Blog is something different and something challenging. It’s a 60 minutes and 35 seconds long free improvisation.

The artist just switched on his machines and started performing, without knowing where the journey will take him to.

Nothing was prepared before, everything happened on the fly, in a deep frenzy of sound. The result is a sonic mayhem full of floating drones and harsh noises, it is an intense experience of experimental music. And it’s also a preview of the Cellarkalt stage performances.

DJ:
Amperia

Introduction:
Amperia aka Aurelia Dinamita: Queer, non binary, Berlin-based raver, club worker, record collector, and DJ. Also resident and curator of Autopoiesis and poly|motion podcasts. Under Aurelia Dinamita runs the post-punk-wave queer events Dis/Tanz and Trash me.

Amperia (she, he, they) started in 2005 in Madrid working as a promoter in the underground goth scene, she noticed the lack of women and trans behind tech creating the music and mixing it.

In 2010 he moved to Berlin and made the resolution with friends that it was time to amplify each other and create a better party space for FLINTA people. Their very first collective post punk queer event was called “desperate living”.

In 2012 they started the queer party line Trash Me which became an success in Berlin’s post punk night life. Amperia also conceptualized and developed the FLINTA party lines Dis/Tanz a sex positive wave-postpunk soliparty and Autopoesis: whose focus was is to empower women and trans* people in the night scene through loud, fat, and buzzy beats.

In 2016 she joined the SoundSysters Crew and has been an amazing force of inspiration and solidarity. She offers DJ Workshops, generously sharing expertise and empowering people to mix sound and to be loud and powerful.

Around 2018 joined another party crew, this time based on sexy down pitched techno with also a strong focus on FLINTA acts: poly|motion.

When he’s not DJing, works as a light and sound technician in different venues and public events.

Since 2022 Resident and part of Golosa

Ike Dusk

Introduction:
Ike Dusk is a german based artist and has been honing his skills in production for the past several years. Originally a DJ since the early 2000’s (yeah, he only played Vinyl), Ike’s passion für electronic music made him start his own productions in 2013, which led to his first EP release on JoeFarr’s Label User Experience (RIP) in 2018.

He subsequently released his tracks & remixes on numerous labels like Animal Farm, Mindcut , Green Fetish, Codec 992 or Diffuse Reality just to name a few and his productions gained support by the likes of:

Quote from Ike:
„My greatest personal achievements to date were having my tracks played by Dave Clarke in his White Noise Radioshow, Surgeon opening his Dekmantel Set with one of my tracks and Dax J. including me in his BBC Essential Mix. That’s what keeps me going and still makes me proud. Never would have imagined that when i started making tracks back then.“Not your typical social media guy, Ike sees himself more of a producers producer and is constantly developing his music instead of searching for instagram content.

Stay tuned for more fresh music from him in the future.
