Stef Mendesidis

Techno

HEADLINER

Stef Mendesidis is a techno producer and live performer whose sound is defined by raw analog hardware and a strict one-take recording philosophy. Born in the Soviet Union, raised in Greece, and currently based in the Netherlands, he spent his formative years as a resident at Moscow club Monasterio before expanding his reach internationally. Mendesidis is closely associated with Ben Klock's Klockworks imprint, where he delivered standout EPs like 2018's "Klockworks 23" and 2019's "Klockworks 26," culminating in his 2024 debut full-length album, "Decima." His kinetic live sets regularly anchor programming at clubs such as Berghain in Berlin, Bassiani in Tbilisi, and BASEMENT in New York, alongside festival appearances at Stone Techno and Amsterdam Dance Event. By manipulating synthesizers and drum machines in real time, Mendesidis bridges the tactile unpredictability of classic hardware with the relentless momentum of modern club music.

Sera J

Techno

Sera J, born Dimitrios Serasidis, is a techno DJ and producer from Thessaloniki, Greece, shaped by the Detroit techno tradition of Jeff Mills and Robert Hood. His sets favor driving basslines, hypnotic grooves, and raw, peak-time intensity built for late-night floors. He has released on underground techno labels including Mutual Rytm, Life In Patterns, Clergy, and Renegade Methodz, and runs his own Blind Harmonies collective and imprint. A 2024 HOR Berlin set widened his international profile, and he now tours clubs and festivals across Europe with representation from Paramount Artists.

LYDO

Techno

LYDO is a Filipino born Vietnamese American sound artist and DJ based in New York City. As a resident at the influential club BASEMENT, they have developed a reputation for sets that blend European and North American techno traditions with trance inflections and experimental textures. They founded the party collective and label X TRA.SERVICES, which serves as a platform for queer, trans, and non binary artists of color. Their signature release is the 2023 EP Hand of God, a collaboration with producer Tomás Urquieta. Beyond the club, LYDO curates ambient series and performs at international venues including Bassiani, Draaimolen, and Berlin Atonal, consistently prioritizing emotional resonance and genre fluidity.

The Carry Nation

House

The Carry Nation is a New York duo whose credibility is inseparable from the actual history of queer nightlife in the city. Made up of Nita Aviance and Will Automagic, they play with a deep-rooted, big-room house sensibility that pulls from classic New York house, disco, vocal anthems, darker afterhours energy, and the kind of high-drama dancefloor instinct that only comes from years inside the culture. What makes them stand out is that they do not just feel like DJs playing queer nightlife, they feel like artists who helped shape it. They are especially known for marathon back-to-backs and their long-running Good Room party, and their sets carry that rare mix of theatricality, soul, toughness, and release that makes sense in both proper club spaces and more hedonistic sunrise territory. They read less like a trend-driven act and more like a true institution of New York queer dance culture.

SENERGI

House

SENERGI, the DJ name of Sergi Ros Costa, is a genderqueer selector born in Barcelona and based in Berlin. A dedicated vinyl digger, he builds sets that move from 90s US house grooves and sassy vocals into deep, driving progressive and tribal energy. He co-parents the queer party series Fairies and also performs as one half of the duo INGI with Ines Cartas. His sets have reached HOR and Berlin institutions including Tresor, Renate, and Hoppetosse.
