Ben Klock

One of the top techno DJs, Berghain resident and owner of the label Klockworks. With a strong competence to adapt his music to the circumstances, he can create an unique atmosphere in a room rather than just playing. The Berlin born DJ Ben Klock’s sounds are full of consistency, tension and dynamics. 

Cynthia Spiering

Cynthia is a rising, young techno producer/dj from Dordrecht who provides some hard techno with an old school sound. Her ability to expertly combine upbeat melodic cuts with driving percussion has brought the talented artist across the Netherlands.

Daniele Travali

Daniele Travali is a famous dj from Palermo, known for his style tech-house with Latin and deep influences.Daniele conveys emotions, energy and passion with his music traveling the world through Italy, Spain, Germany, Russia, the United Arab Emirates.

Dax J

Berlin-based DJ, producer and label boss Dax J grew up listening to the UK sounds of jungle, drum and bass and garage. His passion for techno has dominated his powerful sound but his old jungle influences are still evident on his DJ sets and productions.

Fjaak (Live)

This German duo started making music since their childhood. Today, after several singles and releases with artists such as Rødhåd, they are part of the label Monkeytown.

Ghost In The Machine

Ghost In The Machine is a project by Frank Nitzinsky and Nils van Lingen. Their fresh take on techno and their razor sharp production swiftly garnered them support from some of the leading names in the harder recesses of techno and ultimately culminated in Ghost in the Machine being added to the roster of Perc Trax.

I Hate Models

Descended from the dark depths of the French rave scene, I Hate Models is known for exploring all the outer edges of music, from electro to a harder industrial sound.

Jorn Luka

Resident DJ at club Basis and the infamous Nachtcollege nights; Jorn Luka knows how to move a crowd. He has got the support of many big names in the scene and even played back-to-back sets with artists like Ansome and Gary Beck.

Joyhauser

Joyhauser holds up an arsenal of hard-hitting beats accompanied with captivating and melancholic strings. Their sophisticated array of refined sounds can truly be recognized in both their sets and productions. Eventually, they somehow always find a way to bring a unique analog epos to the listener, which is the exact reason why Joyhauser is still one of the key artists of the FloorFiller collective.

Karim Soliman

Being born in Caïro with both the Egyptian and Dutch nationality, Karim Soliman learned to navigate through different cultures. After moving to Rotterdam he started his career as a DJ and began to organize illegal raves that quickly drew huge attention of Rotterdam's youth (nowadays known as event company Give Soul).

Rowen Clark

This Rotterdam local has been on the rise for quite some time now and has established himself as one of the harbour city's most promising tech-house artists at the moment. Known for his groovy sound, he will surely break down the stage like he breaks down Rotterdam's nightclubs week in and week out.

Kobosil

Max Kobosil, born in 1991, grew up in Berlin in post-Wende times of structural change, he discovered Techno when it emerged from sub culture into modernity, from an early stage he was determined to contribute his share to the city and genre as well as coining both.

Paula Temple

Reveller Records | 50Weapons | R & S Records For over 15 years Paula Temple has been pursuing her own unique musical path. As a self-confessed noisician she specialises in a noisy, phantasmagoric techno sound, where the dial is rarely turned below 200% and every moment of silence seems deafening. Such refreshing high voltage music has placed Paula at the forefront of today's techno scene.

Perc (Live)

It is not an understatement to describe Perc as one of the key figures in the electronic music scene. The versatility of this artist ranges from DJ to label owner and respected producer with a quality that is unique in his kind.

ROD

Klockworks | CLR | Drumcode | Figure SPC | Balans Records What's a Rotterdam Rave without ROD? We will probably never know, because Rotterdam's techno icon is a part of our interior.

Reinier Zonneveld (Live)

As one of the most supported and best-sold techno producers of this moment combined with his powerful live performances at some of the most renowned festivals and clubs, Reinier Zonneveld is currently taking over the modern techno scene.

The Dutch DJ/producer has been releasing EP’s steadily on imprints such Monnom Black, Self Reflektion, and Binary Cells over these past three years, while also playing gigs all around Europe. With his energetic and deep sound, clearly rooted in techno, Beekwilder has already marked his own place in the scene.
