MUSIC | DJ sets
Mintaka | Mintaka, aka Csaba Timár, is a passionate old-school record collector who mainly, but not exclusively, works in the world of ambient, electronica, dub and jazz. He is the founder and co-leader of the Lyka label, a columnist for the Beyond the Notes club series and a member of the Szoba Studio collective.
Crimson | Dávid Fenyvesi has been an active selector in the Hungarian underground DJ scene for twenty-five years. Although his name is known to many as Lick the Click! Sunburst's smiley house parties, his career is full of experimental projects that transcend conventions. He has been a contributor and organiser to the sometimes less, sometimes radically innovative dance music initiatives of ikz, early LtC!, then dansmusiq and Nice Booking / Man's Work. More recently he has been working with Kimitrak, currently under the labels Amour De Vacances, Beyond The Notes, and Ideal Fears and Crimson & Kiss, building on his dub, goth, wave, acid, cosmic post disco and house releases.
Longman | Dániel Czigány is a key figure in the Hungarian jungle and drum and bass subculture. Active since 1997, he has done a lot for the rise of the genre in Hungary. Since 1999 he is co-founder of the show Airbag on Tilos Radio, and since 2003 he is a member of the Tactile dj-producer five-piece. He is also responsible for the legendary "fractional beats" section of the Deep record store, which he has maintained for nearly 20 years. Today, he is a proponent and cultivator of eclectic, all-night sets on the dub-dub-downtempo-hiphop-dnb axis.
