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.

'Berlin protagonist Afem Syko brings plenty of colour to techno - not only with his music, but his look and his personality. He is something of an antidote to days gone by when those in the scene preferred to be clad in all black and maintain a moody look in their press shots. He is comfortable celebrating his individuality and encouraging his dancers to do the same, not least with the music he drops on labels like Amelie Lens's EXHALE and Kobosil's R Label Group.
Here we hear from him about how he first got into electronic music, why techno is the right vehicle for his creativity and how he likes to approach and structure his DJ sets. For a taste of the results, stick on this week's mix, which is a blistering trip through his current sound.'
