A dedicated digger, currently working at the Misbits record shop in Bucharest, he brings a fresh take on the Romanian scene. This wide variety can be clearly heard in his sets, one of which is based on the Perlon / minimal base and on the other, a regular at the Meliflow parties with the likes of Nicolas Lutz, Binh and Vera to name a few. From playing at artistically driven festivals like Sunwaves and 3 Smoked Olives to the Toi.Toi parties as well as many other places in Europe and the US for example, Dragos is carving his way through our scene in a very unique way. His versatility and expansive music knowledge landed him residencies at Club Guesthouse, Black Rhino Radio and most recently at Platforma Wolff where you can hear him exploring deeply into uncharted musical territories. Dragos channels all of this creative energy into his original productions that can be heard on Stomping Grounds, Understory, Guerrilla Bizarre and soon his new label collaboration, Tonomat.

She is a Detroit native with over 28 years behind the turntables, synthesizers and drum machines. Michelle was drawn to music and the creative side of life from the beginning. She was fortunate to find her way into the early 90’s Detroit techno scene when the energy was awe inspiring, from that moment Punisher emerged. As a record aficionado, her preference behind the decks is playing vinyl and her knowledge of records is vast. Her studio tracks are devoted to hardware, analog gear and spontaneous live mix downs. A strong understanding of machines and midi programming allows her to perform powerful, dance floor igniting, live PA sets that take you on a journey through hypnotic, cerebral soundscapes. Michelle released her first two records in 1997 on Detroit label Matrix and has since appeared on over 40 different releases on internationally recognized labels including Detroit Underground, Synewave, Denied Music, As.If. and her own imprints Hej Records and Seismic. While mainly focused on techno and house, Michelle has the ability to play across multiple genres from open to close. Punisher has rocked the dance floor at clubs and festivals all over the globe including the coveted Movement festival in Detroit and Where Are My Keys. She’s performed alongside world renowned acts such as Sebastian Mullaert, Marcel Dettmann, Daniel Avery, Richie Hawtin and The Orb. Michelle will continue to travel where the music takes her in pursuit of musical enlightenment.

As a young lad, his family would take him to Mexican festivals in downtown’s Hart Plaza, where he became immersed in live music and the art of dance through rap battles and break dancing showcases. His love for music continued to grow, and by 1993, he dove into Detroit’s techno scene and experienced his first underground party at the Packard Plant, a staple in the city’s early ‘90s rave culture. Ruiz was instantly hooked on the developing techno sound, spending an entire summer doing odd gigs to pay for his first Technics 1200 turntables. After locking himself in his bedroom to learn the art of mixing and scratching under the guidance of techno pioneer Mike Huckaby, Ruiz landed his 1995 debut performance at the Burns Room in Saint Andrews Hall. Steadily developing his career, he closed out the very first Detroit Electronic Music Festival (now Movement) in 2000 with a three-hour set on the C-Pop stage. Fast forward 15 years and Ruiz—who has now played dozens of events and festivals all over North America—is a versatile turntablist, having developed a distinct style of mixing through an ear for exceptional track selection and a knack to create novel sounds. With a style that ranges from techno to electro to hip-hop, Ruiz has distinguished himself as a multitalented DJ and an important part of Detroit’s electronic music culture, and holding residencies at Eastown Theatre, Buddha Lounge & countless clubs Ruiz currently runs Cultured Citizens, his own music-releasing platform, label, and production company. He’s also the mastermind behind the Old Miami’s celebrated Sunday day parties, a summer favorite in Detroit for the past five years. Recently joining the Modified Artists roster, Ruiz continues to explore new ventures and give back to Detroit, building his career and sound around the city that shaped his passion for live music.

Hailing from Western Michigan, at a young age Brooks dove into the dance music realm by way of a lifelong passion for metal. Immediately entranced by Detroit’s lush techno landscape, he found himself intoxicated by the history and unyielding energy of the city that lays claim to the techno genesis. Since his inception as a DJ in 2016, Brooks has been sending crowds into a frenzy for over sixyears and has been relentlessly refining his arsenal every step along the way. Brooks’ influence has spread as fiercely as his formidable basslines. 2022 marked his first performance at Detroit's dance music revered Movement Festival, as well as his increased presence and kinship within Charlotte De Witte’s internationally lauded KNTXT event series. His ability to beguile a crowd is no accident. Brooks regularly draws parallels between the flow like meditative state both he and his audience members connect to while he’s spinning, and his own spiritual practices. His sets range from driving, high intensity techno to deep, sophisticated rhythms and melodies. As both a DJ and producer, Brooks makes room for the notoriously visceral and even other worldly elements of dance music, while keeping a finger on the frontlines of today’s techno vanguard. He draws inspirational firepower from the classic, dizzying elixirs of techno elite like Jeff Mills, as well as many modern techno artists all the while staying true to his own unique authentic expression as an artist, which translates to each original release and club set. As for what’s in store for Brooks in the coming months, he is slated to appear atop a menagerie of menacing dancefloors internationally.
