Julius Steinhoff is far from being a stranger in the ever-expanding universe of deep house. As a Co-Founder and one of the steersmen behind Hamburg's Smallville empire (record store and label/ party curator around the globe), half of the dynamic duo Smallpeople as well as a producer and DJ in his own right, Steinhoff is closely associated with a group of like-minded people that unite fresh ideas and individualism with a certain sense of tradition.

That “Flocking Behaviour” was well embodied in Steinhoff's debut album by the same name, released in 2014. After a string of 12-inches and tracks for the likes of Live at Robert Johnson, Geography, White, Mule or his own Smallville brand, the very well- received Smallpeople long-player “Salty Days” and EPs on Running Back, Underground Quality as well as remixes for MCDE and others, Julius Steinhoff made a submission that was all his.

“Flocking Behaviour” is rooted in the elegiac variety of the big three (New York, Chicago & Detroit) and paints a romantic picture of house music that is at times utopian. It was one man's love letter to his musical passion.
Julius’ DJ-Sets are focused on a range between Deep House and Techno – always within the balance of atmospheric warmth and club suitability.

Lucie Leh, formerly known as Lucie Vuittong, comes from Dresden and currently lives in Halle. As an active creator of the electronic music scene, she is mainly involved in the Tarmac Festival in Allstedt and the Slot Fighter events, which mainly take place in Dresden. Her musical career began with a focus on dub house and dub techno, but her current DJ sets are characterized by a stylistic versatility that is fed by an intensive exploration of various subgenres of electronic house music. Formative influences from Chicago and Detroit house, power house and 90s house merge in her performances with surprising excursions into garage, deep house or breaks. Rather than limiting herself to a specific genre, her sets reflect many years of exploring the diversity of electronic sounds. This range makes for an energetic and dynamic listening experience that is as stimulating for the dancefloor as it is for the ears.

Map.ache is an influential producer and DJ from Leipzig, known for his releases on Giegling, his role as one half of the DJ duo Manamana, and as co-founder of the renowned label KANN Records. In 2024, Mapi launched his collaboration series with us. Since then, HOMERUN has been synonymous with a day rave that takes place every two months on a Sunday, featuring friends and idols from the musical family.

LINO REX is a multidisciplinary artist based in Leipzig, working as a DJ, graphic designer, illustrator, drummer and radio host.
She’s playing eclectic music spanning from whimsical ambient to wicked wonky dubbed out electronics.
Together with her friends from the GLYK and soft noise crew she organizes listening sessions and ambient events, besides she’s hosting the MAIN INGREDIENT show on Sphere Radio.

When you look at the DNA of the modern electronic underground, it’s rarely a straight line. For producers Interviews and FR Fels, the sonic output is more of a complex web — a deliberate convergence of decades of counter-culture influence. Their work doesn’t just reference the past; it excavates the raw, unpolished energy of the 1990s and recalibrates it for the contemporary floor.

Now, however, that calibration is shifting away from the strobe lights and toward a much deeper, more internal space. For their upcoming performance, the duo is stepping away from the dance floor entirely to present their first-ever ambient live set. This performance won’t be a departure from their roots, but rather a magnification of them. By stripping away the heavy kicks and aggressive basslines, they are revealing the intricate textures that usually hide beneath the beat.
