DJ/Artist:
Oliver Way

Introduction:
EPM’s co-founder and one half of the Detroit Grand PuBahs, Oliver Way has been a recognised figure in the Techno scene for some time.

He has been a DJ since 1991 and subsequently released music under his own name in 1998 on Urban Substance Records before joining the Electro, Techno and Funk outfit Detroit Grand PuBahs in 2002. Taking up the pseudonym “(The Mysterious) Mr O” he has produced alongside Paris the Black FU for their own Detelefunk and Engineroom labels. He has also collaborated with Ben Long (Space DJz) on numerous releases and provided remixes for labels including Torque, Beard Man and BulletDodge.

In 2018 he delivered his debut solo album ‘From The Shadows’ (EPMmusic – EPM63) which drew from a lifetime spent behind the scenes in contemporary electronic music. “I wanted this album to cover the different styles of electronic music that I have been into over the last 25 years taking in dub/reggae, breakbeats, electro, ghetto tech, house and of course techno.  Using the PuBahs ethos of an album being an opportunity to experiment and take the listener on a bit of a journey, in this case a musical timeline of my life.” It was followed by a host of outstanding remixes from the likes of Robert Hood, Aphrohead (Felix da Housecat), Scan X, Ben Sims, Plaid, Si Begg, Plaster and Exzakt & BFX.

In 2023 he released the ‘Theta State’ EP on EPM Music which featured a remix from .VRIL, preceded by a limited edition vinyl (exclusively via Bandcamp) featuring four of the ‘From The Shadows’ remixes.

In 2026, EPM celebrates “25 Years of Music” with a compilation of exclusive tracks, including one from Oliver.

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.
