Tommy Four Seven

Boundary-defying British artist Tommy Four Seven has been a respected visionary in the international techno scene for two decades. Since launching to global notoriety, he has continued to be an in-demand selector and producer known for his ability to capture the dance floor with a palette of dynamic sounds and rhythms. As accomplished in the studio as he is behind the decks, Tommy has built an extensive discography that's grown in parallel with his touring career. His critically acclaimed debut LP, Primate, imaginatively fused off-kilter rhythms with four-to-the-floor minimalism, while his follow-up album, Veer, excavated even more daring and driving techno-adjacent territory. In 2023, Tommy’s solo EP, 47039, further honed his tight, technical and highly nuanced palette in a collection that alchemizes rolling techno and adventurous broken beat. 47, Tommy’s own imprint, is responsible for some of the most innovative techno in the scene today. Its recent 2.0 relaunch has cemented his singular stylistic approach and has showcased up-and-coming artists like Quelza, Tauceti and VSK, who stand for the sleek and sophisticated aesthetic that Tommy threads through his own mixes and productions. Not just a label, 47 is also a platform for live events that takes Tommy’s musical vision around the world with a series of finely tuned live events. An authentic and ever-evolving tastemaker, Tommy’s keen curation remains as sharp as ever. As he prepares to mark 2025 with a special release, it’s certain Tommy will stay at the scene's forefront, powered by his relentless passion for dance music and his acutely discerning ear.

Isabel Soto

Her story began in Canada, where she started developing her style while exploring Montreal’s underground scene — a space that shaped her raw, hypnotic, percussive sound and gave her the freedom to experiment. Her music is about creating a space, a feeling. Abstract textures and deep rhythms come together in her mixes and productions, guiding listeners on an atmospheric journey that feels both personal and infinite. Isabel’s sets are driven by a powerful energy that stays with you long after the last track fades. With her own label, NYXII Records, and releases on respected imprints, including her debut EP on Ostgut Ton, Isabel is doing things her way — organically, steadily, and with real heart. Her rise isn’t about hype; it’s about the connections she creates, one track, one set, one night at a time.
