ctrl NIGHTS: upsammy [NL], FAUZIA [UK], Maria Antoaneta, djfacmuzică, Eusebio Digital & Călin 18+

upsammy crafts a distinctly unique and paradoxical musical experience, with a sound that blends shimmering electronics and intricate rhythm. Drawing from a range of influences including experimental DnB and offbeat techno, her sonic palette is defined by its adventurous approach and refusal to conform to genre boundaries. A DJ of rising renown, she's made waves as an NTS Radio resident and at Amsterdam's Garage Noord, gaining invitations to high-profile festivals like Unsound and Rewire.

FAUZIA started off as a DJ, blending footwork and jungle influences, and gained recognition with her monthly NTS show. Her original production took off in 2020, with celebrated mixes for DISCWOMAN and HAUS of ALTR. Released during the pandemic, tracks like "Fragments" and collaborations with Kelela and George Riley showcased her evolving sound. Her style moves beyond familiar club contexts, but you can always count on her to be ready.

Opening the night, Maria Antoaneta is a DJ who emerged in Bucharest’s underground starting 2017, favouring a diverse range of genres and styles — from techno to psytrance — never holding back on new sources of inspiration that feel close to her heart. Equally diverse, the closing belongs to djfacmuzică, whose diverse picks always tap on the unexpected, favouring leftfield sounds, footworks, breaks and broken beats.

In Room 2, Eusebio Digital & Călin get wild behind the decks, providing a haven for miscellaneous emotional computer sounds.
