“Horsepower” on R&S Records in 1991 kickstarted CJ Bolland’s producer’s career. Growing up in Antwerp with parents who owned a club, Christian Jay Bolland helped bridge Belgium’s new beat legacy with the futuristic transmissions arriving from Detroit from the likes of Juan Atkins and Jeff Mills, in the process helping create an acid rave sound that would spread across Europe.

Drawn to dance music by acid house in the late ’80s and shaped by working alongside figures like Detroit’s Derrick May is London-based Cisco Ferreira, aka The Advent. The name was initially shared by Cisco and Colin McBean, also known as Mr. G, before Cisco continued it as a solo project from the late ’90s. Both CJ & Cisco released on R&S Records in the same era and even collaborated under the moniker Space Opera in the late ’80s, arguably Cisco’s first stepping stone into a career in dance music. Now the two share the booth once more for one of our last events on Museumsinsel.

Philippa Pacho came of age in the Stockholm underground: illegal parties, Sthlm Murder Girls, a residency at Under Bron where she cut her teeth before she relocated to Berlin in 2014. Her sets, which she once described as “warm, groovy, repetitive with an old school feeling but meeting the new school,” connect both ends of this lineup.

Completing the programme is our resident Polygonia. A DJ, producer, live performer, label operator and visual artist driven by a curiosity that has never settled on one form, sound or stage format.
