Raserei

Mannheim's very own Raserei presents cutting-edge producers and DJs Altinbas, Blue Hour and Nastaran for their April club night at Disco Zwei!

Altinbas, the resident and in-house label curator of Brussels club Fuse, has quickly emerged as a leading talent from Brussels' burgeoning electronic scene. He's developed a densely-layered style built on sculpted sound design and impactful grooves that's been captivating with releases on renowned labels like Token Records, SK11 and Non Series. On his own imprint Observer Station, he pushes his output even further, using the label to explore both the emotional content of his music while still focusing on dancefloor functionality. As a DJ touring through many of Europe's club capitals, Altinbas is known for simultaneously honing in on minute details and zooming out to the bigger picture, crafting captivating journeys that explore the common threads and connective tissue between his carefully-selected cuts.

Blue Hour - a time of day similar to dawn, dusk and the three stages of twilight. It doesn't have one definition, and its colour is neutral, not blue. Like Luke Standing's alias "Blue Hour" suggests, his sound doesn't slip into any one category. Hailing from the UK, the Berlin-based head of the label Blue Hour Music and co-curator of positivesource blurs the lines between Acid Techno, old school Rave, Breakbeat, Jungle and Leftfield to create a mirage of hazy euphoria and explore a narrative of timeless music unbound by geography and scene. He has released pivotal records with a distinctive sound driven by the spirit and energy of the '90s, and in turn, welcomed into some of the most prolific spaces worldwide including Berghain, Fold, fabric, Blitz and Robert Johnson.

Local hero Nastaran will take you on an all-night-long journey on the back floor. From an artistic perspective, she covers a wide range within the techno spectrum, effortlessly transitioning from hypnotic loops and infectious grooves to driving kicks and powerful percussion. With a keen ability to connect with diverse crowds and spaces, each set unfolds as a unique and immersive journey through sound.

A back-to-back warm up set from Raserei residents Confusion and Nortsch sets the tone of this exciting club night.
