About The Artists
Freddy K
Alessio Armeni, known best as Freddy K, has been a tireless techno activist since the '90s, defending vinyl, championing young talents, and reinforcing the scene from the shadows, known for his marathon DJ sets and deviant selections, and as the head of KEY Vinyl. His early obsession with techno was informed by The Sound of Rome movement, Mad radio shows, and rave culture, leading him to launch the famed Virus radio show and movement in 1993, which quickly grew to include parties, a booking agency, and a record shop, culminating in his debut 1995 album, Rage Of Age, on the legendary ACV. After the Virus peak and touring worldwide, Freddy K retreated from DJing to work in the backroom, co-founding the influential Elettronica Romana label with Sandro Nasonte at Rome’s Remix record store, releasing early EPs by artists like Donato Dozzy and Giorgio Gigli. His 2009 move to Berlin reignited his passion for rave, prompting him to launch KEY Vinyl in 2011 as a "techno label for DJs" and becoming notorious for epic, strictly vinyl 10+ hour-long sessions at Homopatik, leading to his first Berghain set in 2013 and subsequent closing slots, where his characteristic "360°-style of techno," tailored 100% for the dance, keeps energy levels soaring.
Kaiser (K S R)
Gianluca Caiati, universally known as Kaiser, is a respected DJ and producer whose artistic journey began in Southern Italy, propelled him to the vibrant city of Berlin from 2020 to 2025, and now sees him dividing his base between Italy and Portugal while maintaining a strong connection to the German capital. From a young age, Kaiser developed a natural connection to electronic music, gravitating toward techno and quickly rising in the international scene with a signature sound that blends hypnotic rhythms with driving, pulsating basslines, earning him a sought-after presence at clubs and festivals worldwide. Driven by a desire to contribute to the culture, he founded his own record label, K S R (Kaiser Sound Records), in 2017, using it as a platform for high-caliber techno releases and emerging artists. Beyond his studio work, touring, and collaborations, Kaiser remains deeply grounded in his love for the club, with his meticulous attention to detail and profound emotional imprint reflecting an unwavering dedication to the electronic music community.
Stephen Disario
Conundrum Records boss Stephen Disario has placed himself at the forefront of Los Angeles’s techno community with his signature style of moody, driving techno. Whether in the studio or behind the decks his sound is distinct, and his passion rings clear in his music. Stephen has also offered huge contributions to the Los Angeles scene by organizing events under the Cognition brand, which he co-founded in 2017, and through his involvement with H2Audio, a premier LA based sound company. He had his breakthrough year in 2020 with his track "Rave" gaining support from Amelie Lens, Pan Pot, and many others. Stephen continued to break the mold in 2021 with the release of "Pulse" which was constant rotation and found its way into Chris Liebing’s AM/FM podcast. You can catch Stephen playing at sweaty warehouses small and large as well as notable events like ADE, Boiler Room, CRSSD, and others.
The Lady Machine
