LINE-UP
Ertug Karakas discovered his passion for music at a young age, through the hypnotic rhythms he heard on a record player. Over time, he realized that music is not just an experience but a way to tell a story. When he takes the stage, he blends dark sounds with melodic elements, guiding his audience on an emotional journey.
Starting his professional career in 2016 in Istanbul, Ertug Karakas quickly became one of the standout figures in the Melodic Techno scene. His performance at the 2024 KAS:ST event in Cyprus resonated internationally, gaining widespread attention. He has performed in Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Egypt, Tunisia, and Cyprus.
One of his major breakthroughs as a producer came with the release of ‘Complexity EP’ in 2024. The EP reached the 4th spot on Beatport’s Melodic Techno chart. In 2025, his track ‘These Times’ was supported by major names such as Massano, Agents of Time, The Element, TH:EN, and ENAI.
Radar has become one of Ertug Karakas’s most important projects. With the release of its first EP in 2025, Radar has gained recognition on the global stage, establishing itself as an innovative platform in the electronic music world.
OSED approaches electronic music as something to be performed, not just played. Combining driving melodic grooves with live drums, every set becomes a unique performance where organic rhythm meets club energy.
As a DJ, producer and recent graduate of the Conservatory, OSED brings a fresh perspective to the melodic scene, blending powerful electronic productions with live instrumentation to create an immersive and unpredictable experience.

Brazilian dj Natx’s references range from the techno of Tal Fussman to the synthwave of Le Matos, and in her sets she freely strolls through indie dance, techno and progressive house. She draws her line with surprising transitions, guiding her audience through an innovative sonic journey.
Her first dj set happened in the mid 2010s, and since then she has been enhancing and ripening her style and research, leading her to play in parties like Aftermemes, Aruanda o Cultum, Lagoon, Mind the Gap and Tanz in Brazil, and Ignite and Mediterrânea Amsterdam in Europe.
She recently concluded her studies in music production at SAE in Amsterdam, where she has been living since 2022. By being in close contact with a lot of emerging producers in the electronic music scene, and being the owner of a very good nose for uncovering new talent, Natx keeps her musical research always up to date and conceptual, as well as always makes sure to promote the underground scene. She intends to continue making meaningful connections through music as well as continue evolving in her role as a producer, hoping to take her music throughout the world.
