Chlär’s all about pushing boundaries and leveling up. He’s got this deep belief in the raw connection between humans and the groove. Every track he makes, every set he plays, is about waking up that primal, tribal energy we all have inside. When he hits the decks, it’s an instant connection. Always in the moment, Chlär keeps things fresh while reading the crowd like a pro, and making sure the vibe stays electric, no matter the time or place. On May 3rd, we come together with Ilian Tape to host Chlär, Skee Mask, Zenker Brothers, Freddy K, Rebecca Delle Piane, Laure Croft, Carmen Electro, Kuss and more across the ROBUS, SUMME and OPAN floors.

JKS Presents: 5 Years of Smile Sessions
Friday, May 9th

Kicking things off with the Molekül crew, JKS has been carving his own path ever since—dropping his own label Smile Sessions in 2020 as a space to let things run wild. His sound rides a wave of 90s nostalgia, fusing gritty old-school vibes with a sharp ear for fresh, genre-blurring techno. From rough-edged bangers to slick modern cuts, it’s all fair game. On May 9th, JKS presents 5 Years of Smile Sessions with Mathys Lenne, Bailey Ibbs b2b Paige, DES live as well as a b2b between JKS himself and Sicion.

Hamburg’s DJ Mell G has been shaking up dance floors with a razor-sharp mix of electro, ghetto tech, Miami bass, and jungle since 2020. She’s the brains behind Juicy Gang Records and a force behind the decks, known for fast, fearless blends and a sound that hits hard. Starting out at gritty DIY parties in Frankfurt and Marburg, Mell G made her name with raw energy and serious skills. In 2023, she dropped her debut album ISSUES—a bold, personal dive into her experience with borderline personality disorder. Honest, heavy, and totally her. On May 10th, we host DJ Mell G on the SUMME floor alongside Neffa-T and more while the ROBUS floor is helmed by Elli Acula, Josey Rebelle, Kr!z and more. We continue through our open-air season with our OPAN floor while hosting DINA, Peachlyfe and more.

Ireland’s Yasmin Gardezi has been steadily shaping a sound that’s all high-speed energy with a hypnotic edge.

Bambounou, the Parisian DJ and producer, is one of those names you just can’t ignore in today’s dance music scene. He’s spent years sharpening his sound, blending genres, and creating tracks that are as bold as they are fresh. As a mainstay in the Parisian scene, Bambounou’s DJ sets are straight-up freight trains—unrelenting and global. Born Jeremy Guindo, his eclectic mix of French-Malian-Polish roots gives him a unique musical edge, and his love for astrophysics and dystopian sci-fi feeds into his forward-thinking take on UK techno, IDM, and tribal sounds. It’s that perfect mix of experimental vibes and 4x4 beat mastery that caught the eye of Modeselektor, and he’s since dropped two albums and five EPs on their 50Weapons label, each one pushing the envelope even further. Bambounou’s not just making music; he’s reimagining the future of dance. On May 17th, we host Bambounou on the ROBUS floor alongside Mary Lake, Henning Baer b2b P.E.A.R.L. and more while the SUMME floor sees u.r.trax, RONI and more. On our open-air floor, OPAN, we host Blue Hour, Hector Oaks and more.

Steve Bicknell’s been deep in the game since day one. A true pillar of the UK techno scene, he's been shaping the sound for over 25 years—long before it became the global beast it is today. Steve’s sound? Pure no-nonsense techno—minimal, relentless, and laser-focused. After stepping back from production in the mid-2000s, he came back swinging in 2013, sharper than ever. That return led to 6dimensions in 2016, a label exploring the messy balance of human emotion through sound—love, fear, joy, chaos, and everything in between. These days, Steve’s still out there—evolving, experimenting, and putting out music that keeps pushing the envelope. OG status, but forever forward. On May 24th, we host Berlin’s Radiance who invite Steve Bicknell, Danny Wabbit, DJ Plead and more.

VERTX x Space Trax
Saturday, May 24th

Jin Synth doesn’t just make music—she sculpts sound. Based in London, her world is built on textures, ambience, and raw experimental energy. With a setup full of synths, modular gear, and DIY mics picking up the quiet chaos of everyday life, she blurs the line between noise and music in the most hypnotic way. Her DJ sets are less about the drop, more about the drift—otherworldly, meditative, and deeply immersive. She treats her CDJs like instruments, bending sound in real time, mixing her own creations with leftfield gems from across the spectrum. It’s about vibe, not genre. Mood, not formula. When she’s not playing or producing, she’s deep-diving into sonic art—building her own instruments, crafting custom gear, and exploring new ways to bend the rules. Jin’s music is subtle but powerful, a slow burn into another headspace. Think less dancefloor destruction, more sonic mind travel. On May 24th, we close the month’s in-house programming schedule with VERTX while hosting Jin Synth on the ROBUS floor together with a live set by LDS, Tarkno and more. Space Trax takes over the SUMME floor with Lucinee, a live set by Skodde, Philipp Drube and more. Our open-air floor, OPAN, sees sets by Estella Boersma, The Chronics and more.
