10:00 PM - 11:30 PM: Mânaa B2B Katty Ghetto
Mânaa is a Swiss-Moroccan dj based in Zürich and member of the collective vous etes reus? Active for more than 7 years on the Swiss underground and alternative scene, she invites to create spaces of freedom and culture out of the ordinary structures while creating a platform for sharing and exchange. Through memory and history she likes to tell her story with the rhythm of percussions. Defining herself as a hybrid being she mixes and deconstructs styles and techniques of dj in order to bring them together again under her prism.
Katty Ghetto is a multi-layered jetsetteuse that carry such an iconic name she has the duty to exist and share the music that make them vibe. She explores the fusion of genres blending bass music, ghetto techno, jersey, drums, footwork and experimental african sounds. Educated with old school r’n’b, inspired by pop icons, she goes fragile when it comes to zouk music while always keeping it high energy. Katty loves a good and challenging story, question is: can you keep up?
11:30 PM - 1:00 AM: Pekodjinn
Producer, beatmaker, composer, DJ, and co-founder of the collectives Ozadya and Nufrika, Pekodjinn stands out with his unique style that blends North African sounds, afro-house percussion, and synthesizers. Originally from Geneva, he fuses tradition and modernity to create a Maghrebi cyberpunk universe. His 2023 album Dharba celebrates Tunisian youth caught between disillusionment and futurism. With his festive performances and abrasive sounds, Pekodjinn has become a key figure in the contemporary electronic music scene.
