RESIDENTS

HYBRAL (they/ them)
Dark Drone and Haunting Industrial Techno
Through layering dark, driving, distorted and seductive beats with trembling textures, dystopian soundscapes and hauntingly eerie atmospheres, Hybral not only increases the intensity and energy throughout their sets towards the end, but also shows a different side of hard and industrial techno that is more inward looking, evolving and mind-bending while still maintaining the hard hitting sound experience.
By using awry harmonies and chaotic noise, Hybral intends to express how queerness disrupts and reorders norms by not following accepted paths and normative sound aesthetics. Their tracks shake listeners into a state of hypnosis, disorientation and ask to question ourselves and our position in society. Alarming timbres, modulated ominous atmospheres and distorted kick drums, noisy and in reverberation immersed percussions evoke the power and necessity of movement and destruction as a source of change.
-
FLUID (he/ him)
Industrial and Hypnotic Techno
Fluid is a Berlin based queer DJ and producer and SUBVERTED resident. He is focusing on industrial techno infused with driving and hynotising elements.

Lesser Of (they/ he)
Experimental Noise Techno
Lesser Of combines spectral atmospheres with ruthlessly combative rhythms, rough textures, and harsh industrial elements, delivering a sound that is as driving as it is punitive.
-

Dark Hypnotic and Industrial Techno
Laura MRLS is known for their dark and energetic sets taking the listeners on a sound trip through dark hypnotic techno with industrialesque and harsh elements. With their second alias, PSYCHATRIAN, they are concentrating on dark and heavy sounds with influences from cinematic horror movie sounds and black metal.
-
NICKI BLACK (they/ them)
Industrial Breaks and Dark Experimental
Nicki Black’s musical style is heavily influenced by their journey through the Goth and EBM scene of Berlin, which served as a starting point to their exploration of dark and experimental music genres such as Noise, Ambient and Industrial. They are now harnessing the essence of these genres and applying it to ritualistic Techno sets that follow the twists and turns of broken beats.

-
PARALLEL TRANSPORT (HE/ THEY)
Always having been linked by a simultaneous development in musical taste and style, PARALLEL TRANSPORT is the logical result of HYBRAL’s and FLUID’S artistic connection. Same but yet different, their homologous paths are relentlessly transforming, meeting each other at the intersection of a hybrid and fluid model of sound.
PARALLEL TRANSPORT combines both Fluid’s and Hybral’s strength and signature styles: drive, levity and hypnosis on one side; severity, possessiveness and noise on the other side. Both contrastively drawing their own interpretation of hard industrial techno with elements of dark ambient, noise, atmospheric and hypnotic techno.
While playing together, each can focus on their respective power and contribute to the musical output in a more refined way.
