Belgium born, Berlin based DJ Gratts has spent the best part of two decades lugging bags of excellent records around. First biting the bug for good-time house, techno and disco in the late 90s, he honed his craft as part of the We Play House gang throughout the following decade, and began pushing out of his homeland around the 10s. In keeping the heart of the music in mind, Gratts ensures the feet are always engaged. Genres aren’t important, though: no matter what’s spinning, it’s all about the uplift, the heart and the freedom. His deep knowledge of groove-heavy, dancefloor-ready music affords him versatility - he’s as comfortable playing alongside Steffi or DJ Sprinkles as Hunee or Orpheu The Wizard. As well as an able selector, he’s a keen curator-collaborator: he produces music with Eluize as Ca$hminus and runs the ensemble label with Kong.

Moonlighter at heart, Eluize spends her time writing, creating and curating house, techno, acid and electro to soundtrack the hours. Her sonic leanings span from dubby and spacious, through euphoric and orchestral to intense and acidic, incorporating unique blends of traditional instruments, drum machines, synths and pristine vocals.
