Barış K is a veteran DJ and expert crate-digger from Istanbul who specialises in Turkish psychedelia and cosmic disco.

Spinning high-impact techno, house and dark electro, Copenhagen DJ Courtesy characterizes her sound as "spacecraft techno." Despite her recent rise to prevalence on the European club circuit, Najaaraq Nicoline Vestbirk is no newcomer; originally from the remote island region of Paamiut, Greenland, she's been a mainstay of Copenhagen's tight-knit underground music scene for over a decade.
Karima[NO/DE]
When she's not booking acts, Berlin-based selector Karima Furuseth brings her classic house infusions to dancefloors across Europe. The Norwegian-Algerian cut her teeth in Malmö’s electronic-music scene. Back in Oslo, she became a resident DJ at the renowned club Jaeger, where she honed her skills—and grew her music collection—with a weekly slot over two years.
TUUM[US/DE]
TUUM is Brandon Rosenbluth, 1/2 of the shamanic power electronics duo Shaddah Tuum and co-founder of the Berlin-based avant label collective Portals Editions as well as the event series and online magazine UnReaL, in his guise as xorzyzt. TUUM DJ sets are a total immersion in alternate realities of sound, body and mind. Psychonauts welcome.
Siete Catorce[MX]
Marco Polo Gutierrez’s musical background is as rich and complex as his own personal history. His project Siete Catorce is at the forefront of ruidosón, a genre hybridizing European club sounds and new cumbia—think Mexican and Latin American dance music left simmering in pre-Hispanic, psychedelic, tribal darkness and served up with all the garnishes Ableton has to offer.
DEBONAIR[UK]
DEBONAIR is a club and radio DJ based in London. She is as comfortable in the booth as she is in the studio and has developed a signature style that juxtaposes genres, eras and textures. She has been an integral part of the NTS Radio roster since 2011 and her bi-weekly, prime time show has gained a loyal following due to its command of post-punk, coldwave, EBM, techno, italo-disco and classic house.
