INFO (German/English)

Johnny Zabalo
Johnny is a Berlin phantom, a phenomenon, as well as a solitary analog sound explorer.
He creates a uniquely unorthodox and non-nostalgic mix of decaying blues, country-trash progressions and roots music elements, all characterized by evocative growling lyrics, controlled fraying delays, boot heel stomping beats and abrupt psychedelic detours.

Maia Friend
She's sweet, flirtatious and a little menacing ... Maia Friend is a showgirl like no other. This bendy burlesque babe will make you lose your heart and your pants!


Roxy Toledo (London)
She is a young London DJ talent and plays soul music and jazz from 45 rpm vinyl.

Christian Göbel (Soul Inn)
...specializes in rare soul, funk, reggae and R&B singles. From 2006 to 2014, he organized the very successful At The Soul Inn party at Berlin's Lido together with Kristian Auth. In recent years, Christian has been part of the collective We Got Soul.
His early roots range from his mother's rock'n'roll collection to garage, punk rock, new wave and the Crypt Records universe, which naturally led him to the roots of it all.

Don Rogall (Stag-O-Lee rec.)
...is an integral part of the Berlin music scene with a career spanning three decades. Without a doubt he has become the city's most versatile DJ, currently with DJ residencies at the trendsetting House Of Lunacy (Wilde Renate Club) and the Slow Grind events at the world-famous Kit Kat Club, as well as his own series Hoochie Koo, the wildest rock'n'roll vintage rhythm party far and wide. In the past, he has played under many names in many of Berlin's most important clubs since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

SPFT Soundsystem by Charlie Harpoon (Voodoo Rhythm rec.)
SPFT is a unique tube-powered speaker system that embodies the origins of DJ culture. It started as a project during lockdown when Charlie found an old tube amp and an old 18 inch Goodmans speaker. With the help of clever carpenters and master engineers, the set has grown - speaker cabinets were built from original Altec Lansing plans - in the same tradition as the original sound system operators from Jamaica. It was a labor of love with a steep learning curve, but we achieved outstanding results. This is the SPFT sound system, it was built - not bought.

Koko Temple
... a Berlin DJ jewel with strong roots in the legendary Bassy Club, e.g. with the Beat Org. Koko likes to broaden the horizons of dancers - and sometimes colleagues - with her selection, because her radius is definitely much wider than that of most genre DJs.

Berlin Nocturne
She was a central figure in the infamous Bassy universe, where she helped countless people rediscover the roots of dance music. Berlin Nocturne is still one of the most active DJs in the scene, has a wealth of experience and always has the right records at the start.
