ROTE8 goes underground with two heavyweights, &

Phil Berg will be making his Toronto debut with an extended 3 hour set. Phil brings a hypnotic, driving sound that's landed on SK_Eleven, Phorum, and most recently Mutual Rytm, taking him through venues such as Bassiani, Tresor, and Basement. Expect an extended set from Phil :)

Kr!z, founder of Token Records, brings over a decade of deep, syncopated sets built like a slow-burn ritual, a defining voice in the genre in his own right. Intensities build up and collapse under his skillful hands, knowing what each k**b twist will result in. Each set feels almost like a mathematical calculation, deciphering the code of collective ecstasy.

Local support from ROTE8 resident, Lee Osborne, owner of label Assemble Records, and a three-decade fixture of Toronto's scene, and Darkova, bringing a classically-trained, ritualistic edge to the floor.

Raw sound. No frills. Warehouse-ready.

From Almaty to Toronto, has built a sound that's unmistakably his own and a following to match.

His DJing moves through distinct phases: energetic and hypnotic, yet light on its feet, before the energy tightens into something deep, driving, and fully immersive. Working live across multiple decks, he pulls apart the nuances of each track and reassembles them in real time, the kind of performance you feel as much as hear.

In the studio, that vision turns into original productions, with releases on EvilGroove, Heist Mode, Nodding Heads & ASHR Records. Along the way he's shared lineups with Richie Hawtin, Stef Mendesidis, FrancoisX & Alarico.

A Toronto-based artist worth showing up early for.
