D-Leria

D-LERIA Giuseppe Scaccia also known as D-Leria, a sonic virtuoso in the studio and a chaos creator on the dancefloor, embarked on his DJ journey in 2001. Swiftly transitioning to studio production, he garnered international recognition in Hardcore and became a fixture at major festivals, particularly in the Netherlands. In 2014, he gave life to D-Leria, releasing a series of EPs that served as a canvas for his evolving musical style. This transformative period also saw him take on dual roles as an artist and manager at Delirio record label, where he curated a space for avant-garde talents with a focus on authentic live recording. Relocating to Berlin, Giuseppe immersed himself in new inspirations and devoted five years to meticulously crafting his debut album, 'Driving to Nowhere.' The result was a sonic masterpiece that quickly captivated the attention of electronic music luminaries. D-Leria’s artistic trajectory continued to ascend as he found a home in prestigious labels such as Avian, Semantica, Non Series, Sublunar, Monument. He contributed to noteworthy compilations, showcasing his style finesse and leaving his mark with remixes, various EPs and collaborative projects. Over the past few years, D-Leria has taken the global stage by storm, venturing on active touring with debuts in historical and iconic clubs and festivals, reaching new continents, communities and audiences. This journey reached a zenith with the unveiling of his groundbreaking and revolutionary modular live set at a festival in HALL Tallinn in 2022. The reverberations of this innovative performance carried into his 2023 live tour, leaving an enduring impact on distinguished venues and festivals worldwide including Tresor Berlin, Khidi Tbilisi, Radion Amsterdam, Freedom Festival Medellin, Gare Porto, Closer Milan, Ratherlost Amsterdam, UTD festival Białystok and more.

DANA NADA

Decoder

Raised far from the gravitational pull of dance music hubs, Dallas-born Decoder developed his craft outside traditional DJ circuits, shaping a singular voice defined by independence that remains central to his sound today. First opening Fruity Loops at the age of ten, Decoder's relationship with electronic music began free from expectation or institutional pressure. His early productions were guided as much by video game soundtracks, synth-pop and rhythm as by techno itself, resulting in music that is light and inquisitive. That playfulness has endured. Over time, his productions have evolved, with a distinctive sci-fi-feeling that's grounded in the techno's founding principles. Drum-led, full-bodied and often carrying a quiet melancholia, his discography draws a clear lineage from Detroit techno's futurist restraint and experimental traditions, all the while still resisting easy categorisation. Influences range from the microtonal explorations of Aleksi Perälä to the hypnotic patience associated with Perlon-era minimalism and Ricardo Villalobos, all filtered through an instinctive sense of play. Early support from Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills affirmed his commitment to this direction, recognition many artists work years to achieve. In the DJ booth, Decoder treats performance as a direct extension of the studio. Sets are often built largely from unreleased material, functioning closer to live testing grounds than traditional DJ performances—ideas are trialled, stripped back and reshaped in real time with close attention to the room. After formative experiences at warehouse parties and renegade events across Texas, he began touring internationally while still in his teens, logging sets at the likes of De School, FOLD and Watergate. 2025 marked a significant turning point, with an acclaimed set at Waking Life and his debut at Berghain. Alongside releasing on established labels, Decoder runs two imprints: Codec, a community-focused platform for collaborative projects, and TOCA, a more purist, physical-only label emphasising longevity and restraint. His forthcoming album Prakasa, released on Planet X, represents several years of studio development and reflects his continued interest in cohesion across time, genre and form. Now operating internationally, Decoder represents a measured reinvention of techno, one that looks forward without severing ties to the past. Retaining the independence forged in Dallas warehouses and DIY parties, he remains an artist shaped not by trends, but by curiosity, patience and a disciplined belief in the power of simplicity.

Erika

Erika dreams on the cellular level, or perhaps of transdimensional intelligences moving through strange patterns on celestial objects, working towards a mysterious goal. Her connection to the dreamworld becomes concrete in her approach to music, simultaneously so solid and yet so ethereal. Erika still finds time to accomplish many things in her waking hours, such as being a member of Ectomorph, co-conspirator of Detroit's Interdimensional Transmissions record label, DJing and making music with her pet machines. Her freeform streaming radio station erika.net was one of the very first iTunes presets, running 24x7 for 17 years from 1999 to 2016. Prior to that, Erika was very involved in WCBN-FM Ann Arbor, as a freeform and jazz DJ, and Program Director. The daughter of a famed scientist and already running a well known BBS from her bedroom by the time she was 13, Erika is no stranger to expressing her ideas through technology. In 1997 she was handed a TR-606 and asked to join Ectomorph, and has since become an electronic musician of the highest order, focusing on analog synthesis, with live hardware sequencing that allows transformation over time and a deep depth of tone. to book live or DJ — NA: michelle@thebunkerny.com rest of world: mike@berytus.art

Tangela

Tauceti (FR)

Tauceti has been one of the figures of this new generation of techno artists to follow very closely for a few years now. First as a DJ, where she distills a dark, tropical and sensual techno with percussive and vaporous rhythms in her mix. She further stands for a very particular elegance and a certain, clearly audible maturity, which makes her stand out. Tauceti then also stepped up as a producer, thanks to collaborations and EPs, the last of which appeared on the 30D Records in 2022. Through this work of exploration of and in between sonorous patterns, she demonstrates her talent to break down silos, oscillating between ambient and techno, between strange reverie and raw realism, between bright lights and heavy tablecloths.

With a background in sound design, she approaches each project with meticulous attention to detail, shaping every moment into a sensory experience that lingers long after the sound fades. Her sonic universe is one of depth, intricacy, and relentless exploration—where every track is a journey and every mix an invitation to lose yourself in the unknown. As a resident at Tresor Berlin and curator of the 'OMM Transmission' podcast and event series, Toxido continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in sound.
