Breathe is a festival where everyone is welcome and accepted.

LINEUP

Agy3na
AGYENAs music conveys its own vibe that is difficult to capture in words. Crossing genres he experiments somewhere between house and electro, always with a touch of wavy 80s sound, percussion - elements and spacey Acid.

Despite the obvious influences on his music, AGYENA manages effortlessly to produce a coherent overall picture. Afrofuturism as an aesthetic and musical form of expression play a leading role: His sets are diverse and experimental, for him music is closely linked to his own identity, which he, as a queer, black person, is constantly forced to approach.

AGYENA with his music sees a chance to connect these parts, from which a unique narrative is formed. Born in Nuremberg, now 30 - previously having lived in Berlin, currently in Leipzig and is also an integral part of the Pulsår Collective.

For Steffen, music is a passion that comes straight from the heart. His sets are designed to evoke deep emotions and connect with listeners on a soulful level. He achieves this through a range of styles and sounds, from subtle to more direct, taking listeners on an inward journey that moves both body and soul.

paradiso rhythm
On the contrary to present times, David got into music production soon aer he started attending parties back in 2005 as a youngster in his hometown, 6 years before he started playing records. While his 2014 self-released debut album titled “Luv Grooves” sounds as fresh as it was released just yesterday, his breakthrough year was without a question 2017.

His anthems Greetings & Salutations, Paradise of Temptation and Forever Sade were released within just months on vinyl by labels WOLF Music, Pétrole and Dream Raw Recordings, followed by both digital and vinyl releases on RTCT, Nerang Recordings, Dansu Discs, Neo Violence, Step Back Trax or Hustler Trax. Year aer year he kept releasing music on established labels and his own House of Unity.

LIGHT DESIGN

CTRL_space is devoted to multimedia installations, light and mood design and VJing. A trio of practising architects active also in the academic environment intercedes through a common theme of architecture by working with spaces. Their installations try to expand human perception of spaces and reality by the means of dynamism and ephemerality of multimedia and technologies. Connecting people with spaces using spatial elements such as light, music, sound and time as another dimension of space. In their installations they use methods of generative design, automation, or spatial design simulation tools.
