Chontane

Techno

HEADLINER

Chontane is the project of David Natochen, a Berlin based DJ and producer with Ukrainian roots who began playing the city's clubs at nineteen. He built an early reputation through a residency at the Krach nights at Humboldthain before moving into rooms such as Tresor, RSO Berlin, Blitz, Fuse in Brussels, and Radion and BRET in Amsterdam. His sound blurs the lines between techno, breaks, and electro, pulling tribal and groovy percussion from classic 1990s and early 2000s club records into razor sharp, sound design driven productions. He has released on labels including ARTS, Rekids, Monnom Black, and SHDW and Obscure Shape's Mutual Rytm, and runs his own imprint, TANE. A trained sound designer and audio engineer, he pairs surgical studio precision with vinyl focused sets, including a broadcast for Berlin's HÖR. Chontane represents a new wave of European techno producers building an international profile on rhythmic intensity rather than melody.

JKS

Techno

JKS is a French techno DJ and producer who came up in Paris and now works out of Berlin. A drummer long before he touched a machine, he builds percussive, hypnotic techno leaning on tribal drum loops, rolling hardgroove and a raw physical energy, drawing in UK bass, 140 and broken techno along the way. He first emerged as a founding member of the Molekul collective before launching his own Smile Sessions label in 2020, a platform he uses to develop emerging underground talent. He has recorded a Boiler Room set in Berlin and played HOR Berlin, holds a recurring show on Rinse France, and appears regularly at festivals and clubs including Awakenings, Intercell and RSO Berlin. His records have landed on labels such as Involve Records, Agora Records and OAKS, and he counts Bailey Ibbs among frequent back to back partners. A decade into an underground career, JKS remains one of the more physical, drum-led voices in contemporary techno.

Diossa

Techno

Colombian-born and New York City-based DJ and producer Diossa operates at the intersection of groove, hypnosis, and velocity. Raised by a music producer father and a theater artist mother, she developed an early foundation in instrumentation before transitioning to electronic music. Her sound fuses raw magnetism with groove-forward minimalism, blending hypnotic techno loops, layered percussion, and textured atmospheres. She holds a residency with the Agape collective in New York City and has delivered standout performances at Elements Music Festival, Treehouse Miami, and international HÖR pop-ups in Bogotá and Amsterdam. In the studio, she made her mark with the debut EP Oberon on Infrablack Records and subsequent releases on Therefore Records. She recently launched her own imprint Obsidia Records to showcase bold, rhythm-driven techno rooted in introspection and physical impact.
