■ Len Faki (DE, Figure, Ostgut Ton)

Berlin based DJ, producer and label owner Len Faki is one of the most outstanding and in-demand artists in techno's present age. He is an internationally requested dj, whose productions and remixes are played by techno’s most prominent names. Being a resident at Berlin’s prime techno club Berghain since its opening in 2004 keeps him open-minded as both, dj and producer. Playing regularly at Fuse he knows how to work the crowd as no other. His sound is constantly evolving without ever losing its vibrant, unique energy and the passion and heart he puts into his sets. His gigs are an audio-visual adventure where he is not only playing for the crowd but rather performing for and with them.

Even before his move to Berlin in 2003, Len Faki had the experience of managing two highly acclaimed techno labels, Monoid and Feis. These early years of fruitful productivity provided the necessary groundwork for the next big steps in his career. Upon his arrival in Berlin, it didn´t take long until he became a resident-DJ in the newly opened Berghain - a match made in techno heaven and a monthly experience he wouldn´t want to miss for anything. The characteristic extra long DJ-sets in his "living room" inspire him to vary in tone and fully roll out his style to explore and further deepen his mastery of turning a DJ-set into a bona fide musical journey.

■ Molly (FR, Rekids)

Molly: short and sweet, it’s a name that’s rapidly become a mainstay in the Parisian house and techno scene. And if ever we were to name the fastest rising star on LCC’s roster, this little lady would definitely give our guys a run for their money.

After discovering a love for the sounds of techno and house in Great Britain, the French record-spinner ran back to her homeland armed with fresh inspirations… and before long, began dishing out her ever successful performances far and wide. Saying she hit the ground running might be an understatement, as Molly’s early gigs have already included a residency at the legendary Rex Club -where she works as head of communications- as well as a formidable Berlin round-up including Panorama Bar, CDV or Fly BERMUDA Festival, Paris’s thrilling Weather festival or stirring Concrete party where she’s resident, Frankfurt’s breathtaking Robert Johnson, and Amsterdam’s raucous Trouw – not to mention various international visits on either side of the equator.
