ABOUT
Phase Fatale
... is the Berlin-based techno project of Hayden Payne.
Since 2014 the New York native has earned a reputation as a techno innovator, both for the broad spectrum of dystopian, gritty, industrial-laden electronics included in DJ sets as well as his deep understanding of synthesis and sound design in his own productions.
Having released his debut album on Hospital Productions (Redeemer, 2017) and 12"s on labels such as Jealous God, Ostgut Ton and its sub label unterton, Phase Fatale has since settled into residencies at both Berghain in Berlin as well as Khidi in Georgia's capital Tbilisi. In 2018 Payne launched his own label BITE.
Phase Fatale's sharpened rhythmic contours in the context of his DJ
sets draw on a vast repertoire of new and classic references: dark
ambient drones contrast with the raw, punchy dynamics of industrial
and post-punk, cold wave aesthetics combine with 4/4 functionality – all stitched together meticulously with strong atmospheric sensibilities, careful and precise mixing.
Isabassi
... is a Brazilian music producer, DJ and live performer based in Berlin. Her first album 'Utterly Prone To' on Fox & Hound Recordings was released in 2019 shortly after her debut at Säule (Berghain), and includes 8 tracks featuring distorted beats and harsh textures. Co-founder of Hölle, a series of podcasts and handpoke tattoo combined with experimental & industrial breaks-focused nights, she currently curates 'short attention span', a Mutant Radio show, together with Brazilian artist alys.
In collaboration with Dry Agency, Isabassi has been developing a Creative Development programme aimed at beginners and emerging electronic music artists, offering mentorship, private studio hours and access to additional courses and workshops.
Amplify Berlin
... is a residency program initiated by ACUD Macht Neu, designed to support emerging Berlin-based musicians through mentorships with more established ones in order to facilitate creative development through guidance, a focused work environment and access to resources.
