Back at it again. April's set is brought to you by the always energetic, Amsterdam-based: Hyper Octane (SC: @hyper-octane IG: @hyper.octane). Catch him playing at our stage during Amsterdam Open Air on Saturday, June 3, the first day of our hosting in Gaasperpark alongside Charlie Sparks, CLTX, Dissolver live, Elli Acula and Miley Serious b2b X-Coast. More info & tickets at www.amsterdamopenair.nl Bio 'Everything energetic' is how Hyper Octane's sound can be described best. Drawing inspiration from various genres spread across Techno, acid, rave and euro tech/trance. The symbiosis is the constant flow of energy, which aligns with his personality and attitude behind the decks. Guaranteed to get the club bouncing! Since he started mixing at 15, Hyper Octane's musical journey had him face multiple (sub)genres within electronic music. From Electro, drum & bass, hard- and breakcore to house and back to high-paced industrial Techno and rave. During this musical crusade, he gained experience at various parties and raves at large and small events. Being mentored by some more experienced DJs, he was able to take it to the next level. This caused Hyper Octane to familiarise himself with the more underground part of the scene, which can be heard in his style nowadays. His first large gig at Milkshake in the Westergasfabriek lit a fire that has kept burning. Since then, he has been heard around the Netherlands and Berlin at events and venues such as Intercell, Verknipt, Reaktor's Unpolished, Radion, Ruigoord, Paradiso, ÆDEN, Wibar, Dockyard and various illegal raves.

Filling February with fire. Coming in hot with a full vinyl set is the Berlin-based, Dutch-born: Laure Croft (@laurecroft). See her play a fresh b2b with Lacchesi (@lorenzolacchesi) at Intercell Indoor 2023 in Amsterdam on 24.02 next week. Info & tickets at www.intercell.events/events This vinyl-only mix by Laure will bring you in the mood to party or spice up your afterparty. It’s a mix of primarily old-school techno and some newer releases. As we know her sound to be fast, trippy and sexy, she definitely did not fail to deliver that sound in this set too. Living by the mantra ‘keep it sexy’. Her intention when she takes to the decks is to initiate the liberation that comes from the most powerful dance floor experiences when clothes come off and the energy reaches a fever pitch. Her sound is a constant rush of high-intensity techno spanning the mid-90s to the mid-00s, mixed with the tactile, precarious thrill of vinyl. Continually digging for the tracks which fit her particular creative vision, she holds true to techno’s inherent futurism by creating something new and ever-evolving from the music she plays–pulling together the pieces of the puzzle from decades of techno culture carved into a near-infinite pool of uptempo, forward-facing machine music. Enjoy the listen.

The new year only just started, and we're firing things up wild. The French, Paris-based dj: Parfait (@parfaitparfait) is coming in with a thriving mix and a more groovy approach. Over the years, she has made a name for herself and become one of the leading figures on the international techno scene. Whilst distilling a rhythmic, dancing and energetic sound set after set, she puts the pleasure of the people in the audience in the centre and never forgets to listen and watch them. Trigger those ears of yours.

Hitting it hard again. Next up in our series is a hard-lined mix by the unyielding Ukrainian born and based: Genetica (@genetica_eto) Smashing her way across sound systems with both relentless rage and dizzying pyrotechnics, Ukrainian-born and based jockey Genetica knows no rest when it comes to submerging dance floors under avalanches of lava-hot uptempo grooves and hydraulic kicks from hell. Geared for big-room rumble and foundation-shaking traction, she makes a point of steering crowds into altered states of consciousness through each and every of her sets, always carrying that sixth sense for what makes today’s ravers quiver in ecstasy. Shockwaves inbound.
