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.

SWART grew up in the Belgium scene, which has always been at the forefront of high-energy sounds from rave to techno. Years after first parting as a teenager, he is now established as a tehaon talent in his own right with a sound that is trance-infused and hypnotic. He's dropped plenty of it on the likes of VAGUE and Selected (Berlin), and it is all written on Ableton. He's such a wizard with it, he recently hosted a first-ever masterclass to share all aspects of his creative process.
This summer he'll be busy playing the likes of Pisiboat, Extrema Outdoor, Duro Festival, Fuse, Bootshaus and more, and promises lots of new music is on the way. Before that he's dropped a signature mix and let us in on his early roots into the scene, his views of AI, what gear he favours and plenty more.
