Next up is Block8 regular Bomström, this time curating, as well as closing Floor2 - By TILLVARON.

BOMSTRÖM [Tillvaron] 🪐

Bomström was born in Gagnef, famous for being the raviest village of Sweden. Hence it is perhaps no surprise after all that he has been DJing and throwing raves in Göteborg for over a decade.
Bomström is a producer, piano improviser and former organ player. Currently he is on a mission to unlearn everything he knows about opinions and trends concerning the performance aspect of DJing. This is in the end more or less impossible, as it defies brain function etc. But Bomström is nevertheless working hard to always adjust his mindset as he enters the DJ-booth, in order to achieve his goal - being as free as possible as a performer and artist. - Expect him to change t-shirt at least twice during his set, as closing floor 2 gives Bomström extended opportunities for particularly that! taken in Gothenburg, Sweden by @block8_gbg

We are super excited to invite Amsterdam based producer Sina XX back to Block8 for another round, as label head of Paris imprint Subtyl!

SINA XX [Subtyl, Umay] (FR)

Constantly trying to transcend societal and personal limits through highly energetic sounds, Sina XX has become a pivotal figure in the global underground scene. A fierce advocate for safe spaces where the crowd can experience pure freedom, his music is an invitation to let go and reconnect with our tribal instincts.

His early work, including his first EP produced between Tehran and Beirut, set the tone for a career marked by cross-cultural influences and boundary-pushing collaborations. From working with visual artist Mohamed Bourouissa to releasing on esteemed labels such as Bpitch and umay, Sina XX consistently brings diversity to the forefront of his music. An ethos he’s put into shape with Subtyl, his renowned illegal parties, and Body to Body a label devoted to collaboration and exploring the multifaceted energy that techno offers.
