In the vibrant heart of Berlin's electronic scene, DJ Cringey and TOXIMAMI, known collectively as HARD CANDY, are redefining musical boundaries. This dynamic duo, rising stars in the music world, are celebrated for their unique 'Polygenre' sound—a high-energy fusion of Donk, Psytrance, Techno, and Bailefunk, infused with Bootleg elements, all delivered at a pulse-racing BPM. Their distinct sound is characterized by DJ Cringey's high-pitched, playful vocals, offering a delightful contrast to TOXIMAMI's rough, sex-positive lyrical style. HARD CANDY's talents have illuminated stages at prominent festivals like Feel Festival, Splash, Fusion, and Bipolar Day Festival, and their presence is a staple in the famed Berlin club circuit with notable performances at Watergate, RSO, Aeden and across Germany. Their sets promise a journey of unexpected surprises, showcasing their fresh and contemporary approach to sound. Beyond their DJing prowess, both artists are deeply involved in the music industry. TOXIMAMI, a community event organizer and label manager,
complements DJ Cringey's creative flair as a graphic designer for musicians and brands. HARD CANDY stands as a testament to their shared vision, a synergy of creativity and friendship, paving the way for a new era in
electronic music.

'Iran-born Aida Arko has made her mark on the global scene after starting out in the Persian underground. Her journey started a decade ago after years of touring with Cirque Du Soleil and has since taken to her key residencies at Grelle Forelle Club and with the Gegen Collective and NoGender. Her dark, industrial sound comes with hard-edged drums and experimental textures and has been released on labels like Techno Germany and HEKATE Records.
This week's mix features plenty of Arko's own fresh sounds as well as jams from the likes of White Coat, H! DUDE and RAMØN. It is fast-paced and monstrously powerful so turn it up loud while you read on to find out about Arko's personal background, the joys she finds in DJing and the record she respects the most.'
We can't wait for Aida to join us at Terminal V Croatia this July! Make sure to catch the full interview with Aida Arko below >>>
