LOCi lives in Munich and is the resident DJ of the Blütezeit Kollektiv. His sets are genre-fluid and move between Afrohouse, Indie Dance, Techhouse and Techno. His premise is: driving bass, lots of percussion or a dark surprise alongside the happy O-tone. In this way, he creates an atmosphere that shows the diversity of electronic music and allows the dancers to lose themselves in the moment. We became aware of Loci through his wonderful set at last year's Wurzelfestival, which also made it into our “best of festival playlist”. Enjoy the deep story from LOCi!

All this makes us even more excited to present you a deep story from Siru today.

We are happy to present you a very special set today. Our little story begins with our highlight of the festival season. As we unfortunately couldn't be at Fusion in person again this year, we listened relaxed to the live recordings on soundcloud. Like every year, some of the sets stood out and some of the artists came into our focus. One of these recordings is from the "Sonnendeck" on Thursday morning. This set immediately captivated us with its groove and the heavy bounce stayed with us for days. We are happy that Katzenohr wanted to record such an energetic set for our series too. And what can we say, she really delivered. We hope you enjoy this set as much as we do!
