The Return of the Championlover Soundsystem
Ever wondered what happens when two avid supporters of the venerable 1. FC Kaiserslautern get their Puff Daddy on? Well, then you clearly weren’t raving at Mannheim's Boogiebar between 1997 and 2000, when Akshun Schmidt aka The Notorious S.T.Ö.P.S.E.L. and King Kummi aka Your Favorite Lawyers's Least Favorite Lawyer controlled the second room with an impeccable mix of R&B, garage, NY rap anthems and bubble straight from the bottle. Good news is that, for one night and one night only, the clown princes of soundsystem culture will reunite at ASAP Kotti. Their Las Vegas-sized life performance will make clear nothing's changed but the cholesterol level. Salute!
Ndilyo
Berlin's best kept secret. Say no more.
Fizzle
If Germany ever came close to having a superproducer it's this man and his crew, also comprised of Fiji Kris and °awhodat°. KitschKrieg might have bonafide #1 records under their belts by now, but Fizzle cut his teeth in the grittiest of dancehalls in the nineties and noughties. He was then known for contrasting the reggae police's rules and regulations with a surefire sense for style and entertainment, and will bring those vibes exactly to Paloma with one of his now-rare DJ sets. KKKK-Kotti!
Yannick
From holding residencies at iconic clubs such as XS, Omen and Robert Johnson to helming Groove magazine and co-founding the Needs label, Yannick has shaped this culture since the early 90s, period. ASAP Kotti will be a rare if not unique chance to catch this decks supremo outside of Frankfurt‘s lakeside fiesta LAZY. which he helped propel to legendary status over the past years. Expect a heavy selection of dancefloor treasures new and old.
Groover Klein
The term "legend" is thrown around all too easily but Groover Klein comes close to frickin' defining it. From pulling out the big ones at Mannheim's Milk! in 1990, all the way to keeping ravers' spirits high as part of the infamous Druffalo collective, he's guaranteed to set any dance in full swing.
Finn Johannsen
Paloma's very own Finn Johannsen needs little introduction. A man of many trades and master of them all, he'll help steer the vibes upstairs.
