Opening the night, Opium Hum has been serving up cutting-edge electronic artistry for over fifteen years, spotlighting both experimental legends and rising talent. Known for DJ sets that feel like late-night rites of passage, he layers hypnotic drones, bombastic atmospheres, and throbbing rhythms to bring clubgoers on an unforgettable trip across sonic continents and hyperfied basscapes.
Karina Utomo (RINUWAT, Kilat) will bring blackened vocals drawing from extreme metal, Javanese mythology, and the outer edges of human vocal expression, weaving together themes of tradition and defiance. She’s joined by Joshua Wells (A Colourful Storm, Downwards) purveyor of extreme rhythmic programming traversing drum and bass, noise, electro and dark ambient, and R. Rebeiro (HTRK, My Disco), who subverts traditional percussive modes such as Japanese gagaku and Indian Tabla, to coax rhythms that flicker between precise pointillism and metallic thunderclaps.
Taking drum & bass and giving it a sparkly, hyperactive remix straight from the heart, gyrofield is pure internet-born magic. Growing up in Hong Kong, her online exploration coded her music with dreamy synths, growling basslines, and rhythms with big, emotional cores, powered by the kind of cute-chaotic energy we could all use more of.
Montréal-based Marie Davidson moves between the hypnotic pulse of techno and the ethereal drift of ambient music—often dark and heavy, yet with winks of humour and a sense of mischievous fun beneath the surface. She will premiere a new live show for CTM around her upcoming record City Of Clowns, released on Soulwax's DEEWEE imprint, together with Dutch artist Nick Verstand. Renowned for creating interactive installations that blend light, sound, and spatial design—allowing environments to dynamically respond to visitors' movements and emotions in real time—Verstand crafts immersive spaces that provoke deep introspection and a heightened sensory awareness.
Oldyungmayn ignites dance floors with the unruly energy of 90s rave, underpinned by cutting-edge sound design and the vibrant pulse of Middle Eastern club music. Merging hyper-industrial abrasion with a sense of longing, kinship, and transformation, his frequent collaborator Van Boom operates from the periphery, crafting a cathartic alchemy of fragmentation and crescendo—venomous yet tender.
rRoxymore draws from a wide palette—house, dub, UK bass, leftfield techno, breaks, and jazz—blended into hypnotic, crystalline patterns emerging from a custom sound bank painstakingly built over years of experimentation featuring percussive textures and shimmering synths both tactile and ethereal. She’ll go b2b at CTM with Deena Abdelwahed, the Tunisian powerhouse whose influences range from the propulsive rhythms of Egyptian mahraganat to shaabi wedding songs and dabke, layered with shape-shifting basslines and metallic edges: designed for the dancefloor but writhing with complexity and depth.
FKA Saint Deepthroat, perpetually-online rave princess River Moon can be found bodying a Boiler Room set one night and slamming out a viral club smasher the next. Her music is a messy, genre-smashing love letter to queer South African electro-pop, Afrofuturism, ballroom, and club culture served with an HD dose of »don’t touch me unless you’re ready« energy. She’s closing the night with a b2b set with softchaos, whose brutally melodic sets weave groove-driven rhythms with hard-edged percussion and those genre-defying club sounds we love.
