▪️Darwin (SPE:C, REEF)
Canadian born selector Darwin has been a resident at Berlin institution Griessmuehle since 2014 where she also hosts REEF: a semi-regular party with a laser focus on UK club music responsible for bringing the likes of Pinch, Kode9, and Objekt for 24-hour raves that join the dots between techno, dub, and breakbeat. Darwin also channels her avidity for UK-centric sounds into her label SPE:C, which to date has released a series of steely EPs from Bristolian producers Decka and Trans A.M, as well as this year’s brilliantly moody two-tracker Triptan by Significant Other.

▪️Boo Lean (gfx, Hot Mass)
Boo Lean is no stranger to the dance floor. Also known as Lauren Goshinski, she has created and curated platforms for boundary-pushing artists operating at the edges of sound, technology, and performance, who have become some of the visionary voices of our time. VIA Festival & gfx co-founder, New Forms Festival curator, bts at Pittsburgh’s Hot Mass and Cobra, she utilizes all these opportunities to make viable space for womxn & non-binary promoters and artists.
She’s also the sickest of DJs, blurring lines between humor and sincerity, tension and release, strangeness and familiarity into something altogether new. Whether she’s closing out a rave with golden-era techno, tripped out jungle, nostalgic teenage nu-metal bops (they exist), or some glimmering newly-unearthed gem. a Boo Lean set reminds us that the rhythms and melodies we hear tucked away in these basements and clubs help us find ourselves in the darkest hours of the night.
