A former competitive boxer turned techno heavyweight, Afem Syko brings the exact same discipline, focus, and raw physical power from the ring straight to the decks. As a key protagonist of Berlin's underground and a standout on Kobosil's elite R Label Group, his fast-paced, unpredictable sets hit with the precision and intensity of a knockout punch.

pureg_co: UFO95
EntryNT$800
Final is hosting pureg_co with UFO95 doing a live set plus local DJs. No English description so fuck me I guess.
作為柏林重鎮 Tresor 的駐場，UFO95 追求的是一種現場即興對 Techno 骨幹極具侵略性的殘暴拆解與重建。他將千禧年初葉那種深邃、黑暗的 Techno，像剝離舊建築表皮般，暴露出其下充滿張力的鋼筋骨架。極簡冷冽的聲音核心、未經修飾的高張力推進感，然而真正的魔力來自於他的演出從不追求預設的完美，更像是一種有機的、與機器共生的過程。
