Yonti steps back in the room for a proper session of tight, rugged techno. Nodding to both Birmingham's gritty minimalism as well as Berlin’s elite brutalism, Yonti has defined himself by his exquisite balance of measured, even surgical precision and unvarnished expression. A master technician, his global reputation has been secured since day one. His debut gig in Berlin was at the infamous Snax party, and it’s easy to see why. There’s a writhing, even erotic tension at the core of his sound; for every flexed muscle, there’s an elusive, shadowy counterpoint. Yonti invites you deeper into the darkness. Grace Dahl makes her debut. A resident of the inimitable Vault Sessions, Dahl has emerged as a major force in her hometown of Amsterdam. Raised since birth in DJ culture, her fluency is apparent from the start. Dahl’s forte is in pulsated, livewire techno that brings dancers to the brink. As the founder of the Serial Disc Touchers, her curation extends this vision with releases by artists as esteemed as François X, Julian Muller and more. Longtime resident LYDO seals the deal. One of the premier voices to have emerged from NY’s fertile underground, LYDO’s vision of techno matches the rest of the roster. The X-TRA.Services founder pushes the energy forward with a mercurial, fluid depth and white knuckle drive. Roi Perez is one of house music’s modern greats. The Berlin-based artist’s signature is a thick, gooey psychedelia that infuses his wild, vinyl-heavy sets with a vivid headiness. Perez keeps the spirit of liberatory, cacophonous dance alive in the modern era, weaving together sets that are undeniably deviant, and spiritually of a piece with early house pioneers, cosmic disco mavericks and more. This essential energy has made him one of the most in-demand selectors in his field today, and his sets at STUDIO are invariably transportive. ketia makes the trip back from Lisbon, where they hold a residency at Kit Ket. A vital new voice in the modern queer underground, ketia describes their work as “a way to heal and dream of sweeter futures.” NY’s Haruka keeps the focus on the warped, wiggly and fervent. A true head and an artist who has earned unquestioned respect from her peers, Haruka continues to find new horizons and possibilities deep in the bowels of house.
