Host:

N.E.GIRL (DJ, promoter, Community builder)
Esther Kakai aka N.E.GIRL is Nairobi-born, London-raised and Copenhagen-based, and these cultural identities sing throughout her work.

N.E.GIRL is not just a lethal weapon behind the decks, but a community builder behind the scenes. Represented in sets for Keep Hush, Rupture and HÖR Berlin, she describes her sound as “worldy, techno-infused and sub-bass driven”. It’s dark but soulful, peppered with “fun, syncopated rhythms blending nicely into jungle.”

Heavily inspired by the UK underground and global club scenes, she has developed a reputation for her multi-genre bass-driven style, experimenting with different techniques to build energy on the dance floor.

A part of Copenhagen-based underground label and booking agency Another Name, N.E.GIRL is a club promoter and curator for Strøm festival and aims to showcase innovative styles either within her sets or through the events she programs, exploring the boundaries of multi-genre mixing.

Troels Knudsen aka CTRLS (Producer and DJ)

The Ctrls project was founded In 2012. From the first release, the presence of a highly individual sonic style was apparent and his fast-paced and futuristic techno-based sound has now been well-established with a stream of respected music on labels such as Token Records, Earwiggle, Micron Audio, and Key Vinyl. A lifelong devotee of electronic dance music, DJ’ing, and live performance is central to the project. This has resulted in many involved sets at globally notable venues such as Tresor, Fold, Berghain, Khidi, Fabric, Kit Kat, Fold, and Club Drugstore. The future heralds a wider scope as electro, breakbeats, noise, and audio-visual components are incorporated, as well as the physical Future Awkward and SafeCom event series.
