/About
Music universe with shamanic, fierce, transcendent sonic identity and free-spirited underground ethos, guided by mystical and transformative energy. CRUDE is a record label, party and mix series igniting new impulses with a focus on psychedelic, trance, and electronic soundscapes. On 5th September, at Horoom, the Berlin-based collective’s showcase will be helmed by its residents and family members: Amsterdam-based Taiwanese DJ Kaytseng, known for merciless fast-trance, gritty and thrashing sounds and spellbinding DJ sets marked by spiralling textures and warped synths, a measure of brutal craftwork for die-hard raving; Armenian artist Qi, the founder of Siooqh, a label and platform for sonic storytelling and inner exploration inspired by natural phenomena, ancient echoes, and the subtle alchemy of sound; and Transire and Cirrus, Berlinese DJs channelling the spirit of psychedelic trance across psy, Goa and prog from late-90s to mid-2000s. Fuelled by an insatiable passion for vinyl and rare digital gems, they dig through forgotten archives and time-frozen corners to unearth hidden relics; Nonova is esteemed for twisting rush, signified by rich, intricate rhythms, whose latest, 2026’s full-blown album, Miasma, was released on Curiosity Pill. Korl, unleashing a Tribetekno realm tinged with psychedelic touches, carving out a music that feels both ritualistic and futuristic.
