MAHA

Pōnky

Ponygirl

Ponygirl’s approach to writing music and DJing blends detailed rhythm work with a refined sense of storytelling. Moving body and mind through ever-evolving soundscapes. Driven by connecting audiences through sound, Ponygirl pulls inspiration from a wide range of musical influences to create their own sound. Their combination of refined drum rhythms with intricate percussive elements and alien-like ambiances allows tension and release to flow organically. This sensitivity to dynamic range fosters a powerful exchange between artist and audience, where each performance becomes a shared, collective experience. Ponygirl's productions and sets unfold like narratives, shifting effortlessly between deep, earthy grooves and surreal, abstract textures, inviting listeners into an introspective, almost dreamlike state. By embracing unconventional structures and textures, Ponygirl challenges the boundaries of form while remaining anchored in the physicality of the dance floor.

Regent

Emerging in Berlin post-pandemic, Regent has fast become one of the capital’s most promising new figures. His driving sound has been eagerly taking stock of the city’s unparalleled past and carving out an aesthetic in service of its future. Riffing out this rich heritage, his commanding grooves and full-bodied textures balance prime-time energy with a reverential focus toward timeless, machine-based sound that delivers big on its ambitions. Always seeking for forward motion, Regent moves fluidly across techno’s spectrum, from cerebral tripped- out depths to gnarlier ascents – often drawing from an extensive archive of unreleased material to preserve a sense of exploration and singularity. What began at off-location parties around Berlin in his youth has since evolved into performances at key institutions such as Tresor, RSO and Bassiani, where his sets unfold in a measured dialogue of control and release. His time in the studio has been just as productive, with an abundance of releases on labels like Mutual Rytm, ARTS and Clergy, and Blue Hour and Philippa Pacho’s Positive Source and Phorum to name a few. 
 Recently expanding the project into a live format, Regent presents a more direct, risk-forward iteration of his sound, revealing new detail in real time and pushing its physicality further. Guided by perpetual curiosity, he continues to refine a distinct past-meets-future identity through focused productions, immersive live performances and standout mixes.

Tarkan

WINDFUHR

Windfuhr is a Berlin based DJ and Eerste Communie resident. Guided by the rhythm of drums, his musical journey is defined by hypnotic introspections and consistent energy flow. It is precisely the union of these elements which allows the mind to wander and the body to keep moving. A strictly warm and organic sound, dominated by low frequencies and percussive elements is Windfuhr’s signature touch. Music as a tool - to explore himself and to build a dialogue with the audience. His Guadeloupean heritage enables him to capture and adapt the musical tradition of `Gwo Ka‘ - which in Creole means “big drum”- into each one of his mixes. Gwo Ka is the combination of sound and movement through the rhythms played on the drums and the dances of the audience. In its traditional form, drummers and dancers merge into an infinite interaction of rhythms and gestures giving life to a communal performance. Inspired by his roots, Windfuhr translates this tradition into contemporary soundscapes with the aim to emphasize the connection between dance, spirit and music. The philosophy of communication through sound lies at the roots of his passion: by reading and understanding the energy of the dancers, he becomes their shadow and allows the creation of a story where everyone is the author. To connect with people but also to disconnect from reality sums up his commitment to this form of art.
