Formerly known as Total Freedom, Mines has cultivated a reputation as a sonic risk-taker whose work often exists on the fringes of traditional club music. As a DJ, Mines has performed at international festivals such as Club to Club, Primavera, Sonar, Draaimolen and FFTK in Japan. Mines has been a mainstay at Evian Christ's Trance Party series since it’s inception and regular at major clubs like Fabric London, WWW Tokyo, and Berghain. His practice spans well beyond the conventional, blending art and fashion. His career has focused on collaboration and community building, with his long list of high-profile collaborators including Isa Genzken, Kelela, Jason Moran, Arca, Lizzi Bougatsos and Ryan Trecartin. He has also soundtracked numerous runway presentations from brands like Telfar, Hood By Air, Diesel, Helmut Lang and Mugler. Beyond his live performances, Mines has a notable curatorial and institutional presence. In 2012, he curated the performance series Blasting Voice at Suzanne Geiss Company and in 2016 served as a creative director for the 12-part record project titled Anthem for the 9th Berlin Biennale. His work has been presented at prestigious institutions worldwide, including MoMA, Tate Modern, The Walker, MOCA Los Angeles, The Shed, and the Park Avenue Armory. ✦ Amil Raja ✦ Amil Raja is a London based electronic artist crafting immersive soundscapes from the DNA of UK dubstep, R&B, and electronic music. Fusing older sounds with modern production, he reshapes the sounds of a defining era into something distinctly modern. Following a rollout that began last summer, Amil has finally unveiled his long-awaited tape, Ephemera. Marking his first deeply personal body of work as a standalone artist, the project serves as a sonic statement. It showcasing the breadth of his influences, experiences, and evolving artistic identity. ✦ Emma DJ ✦ Since the start of 2019, Parisian based Emma DJ has been building a rapidly growing catalogue of releases with 3 albums on cassette tapes as well as upcoming releases on imprints like Collapsing Market, L.I.E.S and BFDM to name a few. A remarkable output from the Finnish native who’s been quietly forging an aesthetic of his own following a decade in electronic music across all corners of the industry. His productions display a clear penchant for harder, grittier and ever indescribable sounds, translating directly into his DJ sets. In addition to his growing touring schedule, Emma DJ has been running the Fusion mes Couilles parties for the past 3 years. The infamous underground events have made an important impact beyond the comical appeal of its name through subtle curation and a fresh approach to club culture, gaining him and the rest of his collective a singular reputation across the Parisian scene. ✦ SUUTOO ✦ SUUTOO is a London-based transdisciplinary artist, composer, DJ, and performance artist whose practice moves fluidly between music, performance, art, and club culture. Rooted in world-building, SUUTOO’s work spans sound, movement, installation, video, and visual material, guided by an ongoing inquiry into transformation, emancipation, transience, and sonic potentialities. With a presence across experimental art spaces and underground club culture, SUUTOO has presented work at institutions and festivals including HKW for Transmediale (Berlin), Café Oto (London), Haus der Kunst (Munich), South London Gallery, Basel Social Club (Switzerland), Tanzquartier (Vienna), Intonal Festival (Malmö), Woodblocks Festival (Brussels), and frequent appearances at London’s Ormside Projects, among others. Her recorded work includes a remix on Kelela’s critically acclaimed album RAVE:N (The Remixes), soundtracking Anonymous Club’s SS25 runway show Fantasia 2024: Freudian Glitch - working alongside Ashland Mines (fka TOTAL FREEDOM) and Billy Bultheel - and being shortlisted for the CIRCA Art Prize 2025. Her sound sits in the in-between — weaving noise, intimacy, spirituality, and myth into sonic environments and embodied performances that resist fixed meaning. As a DJ, SUUTOO works destructively; breaking tracks apart and stitching them into new forms, driving the dancefloor through cycles of chaos, collapse, and euphoric renewal. ✦ Hekt ✦ Hekt is the alias of Copenhagen producer, DJ, and songwriter Jesper Nørbæk. Forever, his debut album released in May 2026, was his fourth release on the acclaimed Scottish label Numbers, following Lens, Dream and the dancefloor-focused Beautiful EP. Featuring contributions from Smerz, Fine, and Valeria Litvakov, Forever has been making waves in 2026, earning coverage from The Guardian, Pitchfork, Boomkat, Gorilla vs Bear, Mixmag, and Resident Advisor. Pitchfork picked the single Forever feat. Smerz as one of its Songs of the Summer, naming it a “golden pop-dance track,” while Boomkat coined the album “the year’s fizziest pop album so far”. Rounding out 2025, Hekt's solo Touch Me led off a four-track compilation on Boys Noize' ONES and ZEROS label. As Hekt, Nørbæk has performed across Europe at festivals and clubs including Primavera Sound, Nitsa, Norberg and Berghain, bringing both technical precision and emotional intensity to his sets. 2026 brings shows at Unsound in Warsaw and Krakow and The Warehouse Project in Manchester. Bleep described his music as "Tightly-coiled digital synthesis that finds equal space for heads-down body moving and clever skewering of internet culture," while Beatport highlighted him on On Our Radar 2025: "Hekt has been a secret weapon in Copenhagen’s underground for years — and now the rest of the world is catching up." Whether playing live in clubs or presenting sound art performances at institutions such as Statens Museum for Kunst and Simian, he fuses computer music and club energy into sharp, synthetic forms that are as affecting as they are meticulously constructed. ✦ Pala10 ✦ Pala10 is a Belgian DJ whose journey began in the dub scene as a vinyl selector for the Foundation Sound System. She uses her foundation of sound system culture to expand into club and bass music. She blends deep bass vibrations with genre-defying selections, crafting immersive and emotive sets that reflect a deep passion for sound system culture and underground electronic music. Palatine has proven herself to be a valuable part of the Belgian scene, also being a resident on Kiosk Radio, multiple Horst appearances and much more.
