Two of Amsterdam's most prolific dj's - Sandrien & Carlos Valdes - team up on special occasions as Mal Borrowed & Frei Bauwerker, and they're a big hit in the underground.
Their mix of Acid, Electronic WEIRDneSS and Deep TechY Sheisse makes the
freaks come out. Not only the crowd goes mad, the duo also go berserk behind the decks. Not to be missed.

Berlin-based Monika Kruse has been one of the main forces of the German techno-scene for some 15 years now - not only as dj-producer but also as partyhost and labelowner (TerminalM, Electric Avenue).
Although the beautiful Monika (a former model) has been around since the early days of house and techno, her biggest claim to fame came in 2003 with her wordwide technosmash ‘Latin lovers'.
