Introduction:
Hang Aoki, a discerning force in the techno realm, crafts her sets with a clear purpose: to guide her audience on a journey through sound. Her career trajectory took a pivotal turn as she immersed herself in the underground currents of Hamburg, where long nights at the Golden Pudel and forays into the city’s niche record stores fueled her growing vinyl collection and deepened her musical expertise. Hang’s narrative style of DJing is a dialogue with the audience, where each set is a story told through the interplay of dark, punchy beats and melodic, energetic rhythms.

DJ:
Stigmatique

Introduction:
With his punk attitude and his unmistakable hypnotic-driving sounds, Stigmatique has been an integral part of not only the Leipzig, but also the German techno scene for more than five years now. In 2017, he founded the label Seelen with his friend and partner JANEIN, which has become an indispensable part of international techno culture.

As part of events in places like About Blank, Distillery, IFZ, Die Rakete, as well as international clubs like the Meet Compact Club in Italy or the Grellen Forelle in Vienna, he continued to make his way and began to assert himself against the old-established techno artists.

As a resident of the Distillery in Leipzig, he has been providing damp, sweaty club nights for three years now, and as the initiator of this year’s Distillery Tour, he is also playing throughout Germany.

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.
