About the artists

Ellen Allien

As a DJ, Ellen Allien has enormous skills and resources, sourcing and collecting music for many years. A techno lover from the start Ellen comfortably blends and weaves a pattern of her own hypnotic Berlin techno, acid, freak jack slammers and classics. Absorbing the space and the energy of the dancers, she creates something mysterious and captivating for the here and now. Ellen Allien embodies the core ethos of techno: a visionary who looks to the future for inspiration, carving out her own niche and presiding over an empire that has imbued techno, and dance music culture, with her unique DNA.

Dr. Rubinstein

Marina Rubinstein loves to DJ, but even when she’s perched in the booth, weaving together an invigorating assortment of hypnotic acid, ’90s rave and pumping techno, her mind is on the dancefloor. After all, it was on the dancefloor that this Russian-born, Israeli-reared artist fell in love with techno in the first place. A vinyl-enthusiast at heart, Dr. Rubinstein has long stood out in the underground music scene and forged an international following without the press and backing of a label, traditionally a prerequisite for success in the industry.
