    Fabian blends groovy, playful & bouncy selections of Organic & Deep House, Indie Dance, Bass & Tech House.


    ‘Music is my anchor, my passion, my favorite form of expression’, Fabian says, adding: ‘I want to surprise’. It’s this belief in freedom that drives his work as an artist, unafraid to experiment and craft a profoundly personal sound in the process. A juxtaposition often sits at the heart of his tracks, as Fabian Krooss sprinkles lush or mischievous melodies over springy, sometimes elastic and other times static rhythms, nodding to organic and minimal house at once. It’s Fabian’s deep-rooted feeling for sound that fuse these disparate motifs into an irresistible whole as his productions unfold and flourish with intricate details and surprising touches, always united under a tight groove.


    All of these addictive attributes are equally omnipresent when Fabian helms the booth – with a nonchalance rooted in pure joy that’s perceivable in an instant. Here, again, he intrinsically becomes the storyteller, weaving an authentic narrative while turning the room upside down. Whether that’s with a sunny selection at Sisyphos' Strand, peak-time power at Bucht der Träumer, sunrise vibes at Garbicz Festival and Fusion Festival or a proper 3h33m33s journey for Flow Music. While by no means a recent presence in Berlin with regular appearances at favourites like Kater Blau or Sisyphos, the last years took Fabian further afield to festivals like Mezcal Amores in Oaxaca,  Beneath the Baobabs in Kenia, institutions such as Woomoon in Ibiza, MN Roy in Mexico City or Klein Phönix in Istanbul and many more destinations all around the globe.

    MStep into the world of Mia Kober, a New Zealand-based music curator celebrated for her ability to craft silky sounds, soulful basslines, and immersive experiences. An integral pillar of New Zealand's vibrant music community, Mia has left her mark on renowned festivals such as Shipwrecked, Splore, Ponderosa, Rhythm & Alps, and more.


    Mia’s mission to encourage immersive experiences extends beyond her performances, influencing the festival and event community as a whole. She is also a founding member of Silk Collective—a platform dedicated to nurturing aspiring DJs, showcasing upcoming talent, and fostering connections between New Zealand and the world.


    Not defined by genre but guided by an intuitive sense of what her audience needs, whether during peak time or in ambient moments, Mia’s sets are all about creating a feeling. Her music is an eclectic blend of deep grooves soaked in soul, sonic atmospheres, chunky selections, and emotive electronica—all woven with unexpected surprises.


    Journeys are never linear, and Mia embraces the twists and turns, creating tantalising tales to move you and make you groove. Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride.ia Kober was spoon-fed jazz, folk, and many more musical influences as a child. Her sound today carries warm emotion with hints of melancholy.


    Discovering the track Muse by Nicolas Jaar was her lightbulb moment into electronic music. Her quest took her to Europe where the chill stages of festivals were her education.


    Mia draws inspiration from the likes of Nicolaas Jaar, Clever Austin, Lui Mufata, Nils Frahm, Nikosh, Gary Clark Jr, Four Tet, Gidge, Lee Jones, Stimming, Arutani, Billy Caso,  Satori, Lemonella, Flowers On Monday, Groove Armada, Landhouse, Gaudi, Bado, Jean du Voyage. 


    Embedding herself in the Auckland underground scene, it is her enthusiasm to organise events and lend a hand to those that need it that makes her a pleasure to be around and her ease at weaving a soundscape makes her one to watch.

    Amanda is an artist, DJ, festival curator, and co-founder of Splore. Her DJ journey began in Goa, where she fell in love with beach parties and the international travel scene, eventually leading her into the European festival circuit. After returning to Aotearoa in 1998, she co-founded Splore with fellow adventurous Kiwis, expanding her passion for DJing by exploring new dance music genres. That same year, she experienced Burning Man for the first time.


    After stepping back from DJing to focus on developing Splore and other projects, Amanda returned to the decks in 2014, delivering a dynamic mix of styles and grooves that always get the dancefloor moving. Expect everything from disco to techno and beyond.
