Hypnotic Black Magic is a Berlin and Lisbon-based techno artist, renowned for her deep and trippy sets that take audiences on euphoric journeys.
She is also the head behind the well-established label, podcast, and event series Art Bei Ton, shaping her vision of the scene through hypnotic sounds, psychedelic visuals and gender-balanced line ups.

Inspired by nostalgic and avant-garde electronic sounds since her early teenage years, HBM has developed her music taste around deep/hypnotic techno, atmospheric ambient, and ritualistic drums. Collecting tracks with a preference for loopy patterns, dreamy pads, groovy basslines, and trancy rhythms, HBM’s goal is to drive the audience through a cathartic journey - dancing through obscure thoughts, meditative states, and sensual expressions.

After immersing herself in the free party subculture and moving to Berlin at 18, HBM's passion for freedom and DIY ethos drove her to build a supportive community for FLINTA* and queer artists. In 2018, she launched Art Bei Ton and Ambient Sleepers, holding space for diverse and marginalized international artists to express their creativity, and challenge the established discriminatory systems.

Her work has brought her to enchant dancefloors at iconic venues worldwide, including Tresor (Berlin), VENT (Tokyo), Gare (Porto), Ministerium (Lisbon), Vurt. (Seoul), Ciało (Wroclaw), Monument Festival in Norway. Continuously traveling, her mesmerizing sets have resonated in major cities such as New York, Medellin, Tbilisi, Paris, Amsterdam, Goa, Barcelona, Bangkok, Brussels, Montreal, Istanbul, and beyond.

On the production side, Hypnotic Black Magic is finalizing tracks for upcoming releases on various VA compilations by the end of the year. She is also preparing her highly anticipated debut EP scheduled for 2025. Stay tuned for more updates—exciting news on the horizon!

weiii’s creative journey began with painting and gradually ventured into the realms of
sound and modular synthesizers, using her art as a means of philosophical
exploration. She focuses on hybrid modular synthesizer systems, incorporating field
recordings to reveal the generative process of sound, elements she integrates into
her improvisational performances in Tokyo and Kyoto. weiii’s work is deeply rooted in
the concept of “patching,” whether it be the interaction between people and their
environment or the interplay between digital and biological systems. Her art explores
how sound and thought converse within improvisation.

O/Y is a contemporary approach to the synthesis of minimal, dub,
electronica, ambient and downtempo. synonymous for impulsive
grooves ensnared by deep pads and lighthearted melodies, O/Y is
always shifting playfully between micro- and macrocosm. artists
such as polar, skudge, moritz von oswald and jay dilla don't
often find themselves mentioned in the same breath; as a musical
alignment, however, they paint an accurate picture of the rich
sound spectrum of this virtuoso.after four years of touring the
world, O/Y started his own label ‘doubt records’ in 2022,
organising releases, events and radio-shows under that very
name.
