HAAi (Australia)
A need for experimentation, exploring new sounds and new ways of making music – the inspiration driving HAAi, the Australian-born London-based DJ who continues an incredible couple of years by releasing her first EP on the prestigious label Mute Records. HAAi, aka Teneil Throssell hosted Coconut Beats parties in Dalston which led to shows on Rinse FM and Worldwide FM, and eventually to a prestigious residency at the London club Phonox where Throssell played Saturday nights for two years (up until autumn 2018), a rarity in the city’s nightlife.
As her residency came to end, BBC Radio 1 broadcast her Essential Mix which went on to win the accolade of the Essential Mix of the Year, alumni of which include Helena Hauff, Caribou, Nicolas Jaar, Flying Lotus and Ben Klock. HAAi was then granted a monthly Radio 1 slot, which continues into 2020.
HAAi has won over crowds at renowned events such as Sonar Festival, Glastonbury, Tomorrowland, been responsible for an incredibly memorable Boiler Room and found an ever-increasing fanbase internationally who have bought into her eclectic selections.
HAAi’s taste in music is unique and diverse, revelling in tracks full of intricate detail and character. Her sets are infused with heavy bass lines – from breaks to thumping techno – as well as all manner of percussive elements.

RAUMTESTER
(Berlin)
Raumtester (with his real name being Sergei) is a Smalltown boy from Russia based in Berlin now. Over the past decade he has come a long way from an enthusiastic EDM listener to a resident of game-changing musical collectives. He is a fresh and outstanding face of the new wave of Techno artists whose appearance is complemententing and exciting the international electronic music scene.
Raumtester has been DJing professionally since 2015. During this time, he has managed to be a resident of parties and promotional groups which have formed the electronic dance scene of Russia (Resonance Moscow, System108, Mutabor and Popoff Kitchen) and also to create his own queer party series and a radio show on Test FM «квир мир» (translates as queer world from Russian) with the average attendance of 1000 people. For the last 3 years he has been a resident of the first Russian queer techno party Popoff Kitchen and of the biggest and most respected club in Russia Mutabor (ex Arma-17). Due to his disagreement with the current political situation relating to the war in Ukraine and with attitude towards LGBTQI+ community, Raumtester had to leave Russia. His international career started 4 years ago during which he had managed to play in most European capitals and cities (Germany, Ukraine, France, Portugal, Greece, Italy, etc.). As a DJ in constant research of a balance between the deep existential experi- ence of modular techno and the emotional euphoria of trance’s various spectrums, he formed a skilled style seamlessly stitching togeth- er the genres of the old school and the new school. His musical palette is the natural reflec- tion of his thoughts about the rhythms that reso- nate the inner vibrations of the human body. His musical vision garnered him invitations to record mixes and perform for many respected platforms including Boiler Room, Crack Magazine, HÖR, Ransom Note, Rinse FM etc.
Raumtester always pushes the envelope and finds new ways to express himself as an artist through different forms of art. He has collaborat- ed with GQ Germany, Dazed & Confused, i-D, Love magazine and others spreading his ideolo- gy worldwide.
After moving to Berlin Raumtester now has new “Räume” (rooms) surrounding him which he has yet to test. He explores what can be electronic music today and continues the endless journey into the mystery of the hypnotic and never-ending loop.
