It all started in late 1992 with his own event series at a youth club in Jena, back then performing under the name Breaker, making his first moves as a newcomer at the legendary Kassablanca Jena.
The motivation was simple and honest: he wanted to hear his own records loud.
For over a decade he ran drum & bass events with the ElektronicBassLovaz crew in Jena under the name Goldee, building a reputation in the regional scene that spoke for itself. He played Fusion six times — with 2006 and 2016 standing out as the defining moments — and was a member of Leipzig-based label Rivulet Records.
Today he's still at it, co-running TranceGeDance with BuschBeatz at elipamanoke, bringing psytrance to the floor on a regular basis.
With decades on the decks and a crate full of convictions, he bridges the raw energy of classic Techno with the cosmic drift of Psy Trance. Good music doesn't expire — it just waits for the right moment to resurface.

The Leipzig based producer Aio loves to experiment with his music while retaining his distinctive sound.
Dark elements interlink with elegant melodies to shake your bones and fondle your soul at the same
time. Aio connects opposing dots within a universe of sounds, crafting an experience that captivates from the very first second and lingers on. His productions have gained reputation over the last years with releases on esteemed techno labels such as Senso Sounds, Stil vor Talent and Alula Tunes. Driven by the desire to unveil his unfiltered vision of ‚Space Techno‘, he established his own label, Kosmos Records, during the summer of 2023. With his energetic sets, he has been able to excite audiences at renowned clubs like Sisyphos, Watergate, Kater Blau and abroad. One of his recent highlights was an electrifying live set at the famous Fusion Festival, which attracted a lot of attention.

It all started when NIENEIN was 17 years old, he walked into Elipamanoke for the first time, not knowing it would become a second home. On May 17th, 2015, that bond became official with a debut set at the Unique Event.
Over the years, NIENEIN has developed his very own style, the Nieneinsound: a multi-layered blend of playful textures, hypnotic grooves, dark undertones, and powerful 90s elements, crafted with an obsessive love for detail. Every set tells a story across genres, pulling you in and refusing to let go.
On the floor, the crowd mirrors that duality, moving between hypnotic drift and explosive energy. Vinyl or digital, it's always a journey.
