A major electronic music pioneer and widely regarded as the Godfather of Techno from Detroit, Juan Atkins appeared behind aliases such as Cybotron, Model 500, and Infiniti, and has released many classics of sublime Detroit techno, including the 1982 electro track 'Clear.' (this track is often considered the first proto-techno track). Experimenting with fusing the extra-terrestrial funk of Parliament Funkadelic with the futuristic rhythms and hard math of Kraftwerk and the progressive dance theorems proposed by Giorgio Moroder, the Model 500 12′′s laid the blueprint for Detroit Techno. Along with the tracks made by two schoolmates, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, Detroit Techno quickly made its way across the Atlantic and immediately sparked the emerging rave culture and soon after the entire global dance community. Moving through the later 80’s as Model 500, Atkins continued as one of the most prolific and sought after producers of electronic music throughout the 90’s. Packing clubs from Detroit to NY, London, Paris, Berlin…, Juan has mastered the art of soaking up new rhythmic elements from contemporary dance music while keeping his unerring, instantly recognizable sense of melody intact.

The Montreal producer and DJ, born Jason Voltaire, is a provocateur with purpose — an artist who builds ecstatic worlds where salaciousness, satire, and sub-bass collide. Emerging from the same post-club Montreal underground that birthed Sinjin Hawke and Lunice, Martyn Bootyspoon made early waves with an irreverent blend of ghetto tech, jacking house, and electroclash, all laced with his signature wit. Since then, he's become one of North America’s most singular dance artists — equal parts showman and technician. Behind the decks, his sets are shapeshifting sermons: rib-rattling techno and body-slamming ghetto house are woven together with absurdist vocal flips and narrative flair. His performance is never passive — it’s a dialogue with the dancefloor, full of tension, tease, and total release.

Montreal local & Ärder Resident Bianca Badita, delivers powerful, warehouse-primed techno. Her sounds can be defined as industrially potent and eerily hypnotic. She starts her musical journey in 2019, after many years of attending raves and being a dance floor enthusiast. Bianca shared the stage with Drumcell, Amotik, Marrøn, Rene Wise, Nørbak, Stef Mendesidis & local artists. She made her appearance with OCTOV, Noreiner, North of Nowhere, Shift Radio, Playground Filth, Bisous, LaNorth, Autobahn, PROHIBITION and several other Montreal collectives. Her selections lay a foundation that transport her listeners to a dark and cemented energy-filled space. A diverse arrangement of influences and genres ensures that audiences stay attentive and curious towards each of her performances.

Donotstealmyname has been playing all around the city for years now and most of you will already know her and what she can do! This « pure laine » Montrealer truly embodies the city’s vibrant & chaotic (in the best way) energy💞 Rather than being confined by genre, her sets are a seamless journey — always curated with instinct, precision, and a deep love for the craft.
