About The Artists
DJ Stingray 313
Eminent electronic music pioneer DJ Stingray 313, known for his productions and sets that explore themes of modern science and technology's effect on the human condition, began his career in 1987 as part of the group Nasa, and later released solo work under the Urban Tribe moniker on Carl Craig's Planet E Communications label. However, his most notable connection is with the iconic electro duo Drexciya; after contributing to James Stinson’s project as Mystic Tribe A.I., he was named "Drexciyan DJ Stingray" and became their official touring DJ. Following Stinson's passing in 2002, he continued his career as DJ Stingray 313, releasing unique productions on influential labels like Warp Records, Tresor, and Mahogani Music, all while performing his signature balaclava-clad, cyborg-like DJ sets at major festivals and venues worldwide, including Tresor Berlin, Glastonbury, and Berghain. Through his Micron Audio imprint, he continues to champion his futuristic blend of electro and techno, releasing his own music as well as that of emerging artists who share his vision, solidifying his status as a steadfast figure in uncompromising sound.
Akua
With roots in North American techno, Ghanaian-American DJ Akua has cemented herself as a distinct and powerful force, reviving the rebellious and innovative spirit of the genre for a new generation. Her approach is a passionate dedication to raw, mechanized expression, channeling the revolutionary sonics of Detroit, Chicago, and New York City while leading the "new school" of North American machine funk. Since moving to Berlin, Akua has further developed her craft, building on the transcontinental connection that ignited the techno movement. Her one-of-a-kind, no-nonsense style brings a poignant intensity to dance floors, eschewing trends in favor of an authentic, intuitive wavelength. This has led to celebrated sets at renowned clubs and festivals worldwide, including Basement in New York, Movement Detroit, Berghain, and Dekmantel. With her finger on the pulse of contemporary producers who share her energy, Akua effortlessly embodies an enthralling old-school sound, earning her the respect and adoration of discerning DJs and dancers alike.
