DAVE CLARKE
Musician, photographer and man of singular electronic vision, Dave Clarke has great instincts - and those singular instincts have kept him on the right musical track for over thirty years running. Championed early on by the late John Peel, who affectionately called him "the techno baron", Dave Clarke has been making his own music since 1990, while collaborating with and remixing iconic artists such as Depeche Mode, The Chemical Brothers, Underworld and New Order, as well as Fontaines D.C. Soft Moon, A Place To Bury Strangers, Gazelle Twin, The Amazing Snakeheads and Placebo.
A prominent figure in techno and a bold ambassador for the genre's inherent futurism, Dave Clarke has long been regarded as an authentic and expressive artist whose enduring musical career combines bold idiosyncratic passion with technical ability, breaking through walls of hesitation with passionate conviction.

CRYSTAL GEOMETRY
Drawing on post-punk, black metal and industrial, French producer and artist Maxi me Fabre has made a name for himself under the alias Crystal Geometry, returning to his roots in the 90s warehouse rave scene and industrial music, fusing Belgian EBM influences with modular-engineered post-modern techno. The project revolves around an evolving analog modular synth, accompanied by haunting live vocals and abrasive distortion. Fabre's live performances become an all-out assault on the body, marching through dystopian territories, manipulating sounds into menacing frequencies. Extended hybrids and equally punishing DJ sets have given further scope and context to the alias, reinforcing its weight across the global circuit of clubs, warehouses and spaces.
After a number of previous high-impact productions, Crystal Geometry signed with Adam X's Sonic Groove in late 2018, with the "Red Faith Militia" EP - a ferocious four-track vinyl that explores the brutalities of the former Eastern Bloc and the ruling Communist government. Following Fabre's debut on the label, his second work for Sonic Groove was acclaimed in 2019 with the EP "The Cyber Heresy" - a military-grade vinyl that continues its work of dancefloor destruction. Crystal Geometry's third release for Sonic Groove marked the opening of 2020, with a ten-track full-length album entitled "Senestre". The album deepens the alias' interest in socio-political themes, with metallic synth lines and commanding vocals.
After Sonic Groove, Crystal Geometry made a name for itself on SNTS's Sacred Court label in 2020 with the four-track EP "Samain". This record confirms Fabre as one of a handful of artists who continue to push the boundaries into uncharted sonic waters.

ACTRESS M
A lover of synthetic textures and atmospheres with catchy vocals, Actress M creates mixes that embrace an aesthetic often inspired by the 80s and their contemporary repercussions in electronic music.
Influenced by the underground scene, she soon began exploring the various unique sounds and energies of Italo Disco, Dark Disco, EBM and Indie Dance. These influences are reflected in her varied selections and mixes, where she passionately fuses nostalgic elements with a newer aesthetic.©DR
