Kaleidoscope presents: Scan 7 (Scan Records, Underground Resistance, Tresor | Detroit) LIVE SCAN 7 is an electronic music collective from Detroit founded in the late 1980’s during the rise of the city’s second wave of techno producers. SCAN 7’s members include an ever evolving lineup of masked musicians and vocalists led by founding member TRACK MASTA LOU. Their sound is constantly evolving, echoing the techno sound of their hometown and then, seemingly at will, mutating from electro to uplifting house or any number of other sub genres. In 2000 they premiered SCAN 7 : LIVE at the inaugural DETROIT ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL (D.E.M.F ). This first live performance helped solidified SCAN 7’s reputation as a top level live electronic act until this day. Antwon Faulkner (Hijacked Records | Detroit/Toronto) VINYL SET Antwon Faulkner has been in the game since the late 80’s. Born and raised in Detroit, Antwon started hustling mix-tapes at the age of sixteen. With music in his blood, this is truly what he was born to do. While people may be more familiar with his DJ moniker, the infamous “Twonz,” in 2009 we got to know a new Antwon, an Antwon re-energized, excited and motivated. His focus shifted from throwing parties and DJing to making music and really honing his craft as a producer. Marivs (Fachwerk, Kaleidoscope | Toronto) VINYL SET A techno purist and seasoned selector, Marivs is the founder of Kaleidoscope, a vinyl-only event series that champions authentic underground techno. His journey began in the early 90s, spinning various electronic formats at Romanian radio stations before securing club residencies that honed his crowd-reading abilities. Since relocating to Toronto in 2013, his productions have garnered support from techno luminaries such as Mike Dehnert, Kaiser, Nicole Moudaber, Freddy K, with releases on respected labels including Fachwerk, Resource Records and Blast. AUX_ID (Kaleidoscope | Rome/Toronto) VINYL SET AUX_ID is an Italian DJ who began his journey in 2006 when he started frequenting the famous vinyl store in Rome: Remix. It was here that he learned the art of mixing, under the mentorship of renowned figures Freddy K and Paolo Zerla. In 2010, he joined CRS Records, founded by VSK and Conrad Van Orton, focusing on DJing while also exploring production. AUX_ID became involved in Rome's event scene, working with organizations such as Glucose, Paradigma and 21 Vibes to host techno nights alongside both local and international artists. In 2021, after moving to Toronto, AUX_ID returned to the underground scene, reinvigorated and ready to contribute once again to the global techno community
