- Sunday
These are the artists, bands and DJs who will ensure a wonderful MS DOCKVILLE from August 16-18, 2024. You can already find the first acts here - many more headliners, insider tips and favorite bands will follow.
JEREMIAS hit the sound of the present, synthpop and twentysomething-ness. It sounds like optimism, stays in your ears for a long time and goes deep - you can't help but empathize. And their concerts are (as you have probably already seen on your social network of choice) a mixture of demolition, therapy session and declaration of love.
ASHNIKKO - their songs and shows are like portals. Suddenly you are in the middle of a hyper-horny-highlife universe full of emotions. There, gender roles are disrupted and blown up, there are vendettas alongside demonic Brat Rap; but there is also alternative pop and allegorical lyrics. The American rapper/hyperpopper/most wanted musician delivers a hopeful and uninhibited journey through her musical world.
It sounds loud, dirty and bursting with energy. MEUTE: An invitation to dance and tumult, but with drums and trumpets. Their foray through genres detaches electronic music from the DJ booth and unleashes a burst of energy from the stage directly into the crowd. This is not an orchestra, this is a techo marching band - and their next battlefield in terms of sounds is the MS DOCKVILLE 2024. Welcome back!
The rescue of rock music has a Vienna accent - BILDERBUCH deliver deconstructed indie approaches and Dada aesthetics, art punk and surprises. But whatever they do, it is unmistakably Bilderbuch. Sophistication, hits, hooks and that incomparable sound; your next catchy tune is already waiting for you.
DISARSTAR comes with criticism, class struggle and kitsch. Agitation by demolition. The Hamburg MC tells street stories from a first-person perspective and knows exactly where the enemy is: his bars are against capitalism and a broken system.
What are we doing this for, music? For ZOE WEES, it's not about escaping reality or entertainment; music is the source of her strength. You can hear that too: the deep, soulful voice of the 21-year-old from Hamburg characterizes her honest and authentic songs. She tells stories that stand for themselves and speak for an entire generation - her international breakthrough was her hit "Control". Since then, her community has grown up, deeply connected to Zoe Wees and her music. Welcome to the MS DOCKVILLE!
MAYBERG plays and sings with emotions, just so incredibly charming. Insecurities meet devotion, singer-songwriter meets indie pop. He smiles a little sheepishly; everything seems somehow genuine and approachable. His music is humorous, poignant and unforced. The perfect mix of melancholy and poetry. It's a return for Mayberg; he already enchanted Butterland with his performance in 2022.
Metamorphosis has been given an update: MINE redefines mutability in new and new and new ways. She mixes singer-songwriting with pop, hip-hop, electro, a pinch of jazz and delicate, ambiguous lyrics. She talks about self-discovery, the state of the world, relationships and hopes. What follows? A blossoming, a growth, a new beginning. MINE, new again.
If you don't know THE VACCINES yet: lucky you, you're about to find a new favorite band. Brit-pop, indie rock, strumming guitars and tight drums - you've heard them before, but not in such an enticing, skillful and good-humoured way. Admittedly, they are no longer an insider's tip, having already played at Glastonbury and Coachella and shared the stage with Jimmy Kimmel and the Rolling Stones. But it's pop par excellence, with hooks that thousands of people besides you will be singing along to at MS DOCKVILLE - it's fun to have fun together!
Sometimes it still exists, a largely intact world full of emotion and hope - you can hear it in BLUMENGARTEN. Lyrics about growing up, first love and (unfortunately) heartbreak. Reduced instrumentalization, between indie and hip-hop, with an unmistakable voice and an irresistible vibe. "Promise, everything will be fine".
A true triple threat, the Nigerian-born, London-based musician OBONGJAYAR pens stirring and spiritual lyrics with a distinctive voice that flits between rap, song and spoken word. Melding afrobeats, soul, rock and hip-hop influences, he has created a bold genre-defiant musicality. Since 2022, he’s only knownone way: up. Collaborating with Little Simz and many more, his repertoire of songs and sounds keeps on expanding. He has truly reached his destination having meticulously honed his craft and comes armed with answers to some of the questions he’d spent his young career asking.
Down under, but not down at all - apparently you can export the sun and temperatures of Australia by wrapping them in indie guitars, sparkling synth and fluffy song structures. LIME CORDIALE do just that and sound like buzz, upbeat bedroom pop and good humor.
It was a complicated path, but somehow it was also clear that METTE would make music. Now she's ready - you can hear it: Songs full of tender emotions, complex feelings and danceable rhythms. She explores the story of her life and the dancefloors of the world (not restricted to any genre, but always with a good dose of dance music). The Dance Class meets at MS DOCKVILLE, bring your best moves!
When SAY YES DOG play at the MS DOCKVILLE, it is undoubtedly a promise. Their electropop made for exuberant dancing, plus their melodies (sometimes gentle and melancholy) between independent and synth sound have found their most beautiful form. Since their formation almost a decade ago, they have played on almost every stage on almost every continent (slight exaggeration); meanwhile they have merged into an oscillating unity. Come see!
PARTIBOI69's sole aim is to spread digital love and blast deadly 69ing techniques live and direct into your consciousness. Described online as a "symbol of mutual love and the secret of the Australian underground", Partiboi69 is uncompromising, fusing cutting-edge computer animated graphics with the sounds of Electro Dank, Ghetto Freak and K-Tech. It's like a portal into its complex mind; a place where comfort and style are paramount, no stimulant is safe and enjoyment is always reciprocal.
God save this queen: RACHEL CHINOURIRI is one of the UK's most exciting alternative & indie pop talents. We don't want to get theoretical, but: this songwriting is smart in a different way, this guitar sound feels like coming home and new ideas at the same time. No wonder she's racked up almost 120 million streams, received critical acclaim and been shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2023.
FUFFIFUFFZICH was born with sunglasses on her face. FUFFIFUFFZICH wants to open all hearts - and in her songs she tells of Ferrari, heartbreak, police, but above all of love and longing in the times of the big cities. Melancholic, spherical, dreamy synthesizer sounds; rhymes full of jokes and heartache.
TUA doesn't follow any genre conventions. Does he ever stick to conventions at all? He plunders possibilities, treasure chests of musical styles and sound constructions, seizes their drums and melodies, dips them in deep gray and seizes them in his own creation. Sometimes you can hear his background in hip hop (s/o to the Orsons), but superficially it's always Tua: honest, authentic and incredibly musical.
salute, aka Felix Navo, is a perfect example of the contemporary young producer somewhere between bedroom-producing, club culture and musical self-discovery. His primary inspiration provided from a scene just a few miles away: US and UK bass-culture. The sounds and trends of constantly developing music culture. In the meantime the 20 year old has moved to Brighton to study, a move that has taken him a geographic step closer to his artistic vision. Since then he has been in a never ending dialog with British club-culture. Bass, Grime and Trap are scenes and trends that have literally influenced his output without restricting the results individuality.
PA69 - the "PA" is pronounced in English and the "69" in German - are a rap formation from Berlin. Little or nothing is known about the identity of the three pink-masked rappers DJ DOPE, Rabatto and Turbogianni. One thing is certain: Berlin atzenrap, euphoric and full of slogans. You could describe it as an intoxicated hedonistic attitude to life, but maybe you just watch a show: stable demolition with a big show, 3 beers in your head and the biggest firecrackers available on the open market.
MCR-T has been delivering heavy trap and ghetto tunes for several years now. Always playful and experimental he has formed an unique sound combining different genres and styles – and he’s constantly improving his sets.
Dominik Eulberg has been active with his music for over 25 years - in demand worldwide and has received numerous awards (as a producer, DJ and with individual albums). But in addition to technoid sounds with voice/nature recordings, he is also an ecologist who unites these two worlds. His penultimate album was about biodiversity and, like his last album, hit the charts - his work is a celebration of how beautiful and worth protecting nature is and how good it is to dance to. Plus: which other DJ is a wasp species (Ceraphron eulbergi) named after, please?
Hyperaktivist provides dynamism and disruption - a mixture of groovy techno, psychedelic trance and rhapsodic old-school house full of percussive conviction. Her sets are an exuberant intoxication. They absorb the energy of the Caribbean coast and are combined with Latin American rhythms by Hyperaktivist.
A delightful night with the warranty that all the hips in a room will be shaking, is the magic powwer of LUCIA LU. The Berlin born DJ andd full time icon is fusing punchy sounds with her highly energetic presencce to serve a musical specialitè through every night.

If you’re looking for new perspectives and rising talents from the german dance music scene, look no further: SEDEF ADASÏ. Resident in Munich’s famed Blitz Music Club, bouncing through euphoric techno, rough house classics, space disco and strong electro, but remaining elegant and at ease. She’s delivered in almost every club you need to deliver in as a DJ – now she’s bringing her talents to MS DOCKVILLE!
FLAWLESS ISSUES is no longer a newcomer to the scene. With his nostalgic 80s synth-pop and surf-goth sound, the Stuttgart native belongs alongside artists such as Levin Goes Lightly and Edwin Rosen to the "New New German Wave" that is currently sweeping through the music landscape. Thematically, he deals primarily with abysmal human emotions and loneliness - the romanticization of melancholy, so to speak. Interwoven with instruments, he breaks through his own sound barrier of nostalgic retro wave with his gloomy vocals.
Modern indie pop that has had its head turned by Milky Chance and Bon Iver - danceable, cleverly produced, but at the same time intimate and emotionally open. Polyphonic chorus melodies buzz through the air between the guitars; ZECK sounds familiar and yet as if this sound had been missing for a long time.
MY UGLY CLEMENTINE are three outstanding musicians in their own way: Sophie Lindinger, Mira Lu Kovacs and Nastasja Ronck. Their musical specialties include feminist discourse, empowerment and equality. The three of them convey all this and much more on stage, unleashing an undreamt-of power.
One of those dreamy guys with a guitar, an expansive voice and soulful songs - for just 10 bars, you'd think IVO MARTIN was a typical musician. It's deeper, smarter and more skillful with him: the guitar in the spotlight, organically and analogously accompanied. With a head voice (they feels!) and small song experiments, he tells everyday stories and extraordinary emotions - he takes you into his world.
Nobody really knows much about TRÄNEN, they played hide and seek with the German indie scene. What they have shown: barren atmospheres, rainy open spaces, dreariness in prefabricated buildings - only in punk/synth/songs. Writing meets musical solitude, retro sounds with reverb, chorale and dirtiness. One of Germany's most exciting bands of 2024: you've found them here.
We're not going to bore you with Greek mythology here - this is all about beat, melody and dance. It's a wild mix, disco flirts with soul, hip-hop and electro. Long days, hot nights; the four musicians have the right sound for every minute of dancing hours.
Should we still say wunderkind? It's safe to say that UCHE YARA's time has come - www she hot has demonstrated this loudly with distorted guitars, psychedelic rock and indie energy groove. We understand everyone's impatience, we feel the same way, so we're hoping for a miracle so that their show at MS DOCKVILLE happens tomorrow.
Big slay music – NIEVE ELLA has no doubts about herself. Her success (on Tiktok, but also on tour) proves her right; straight pop songs with cleverly constructed instrumentation. She draws on influences both unsolicited and skillfully - guitars and drums with a punk past, keys with distortion, melodies from Hollywood - and uses them to create her sound. The stage and future is yours, NIEVE ELLA!
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, ARI ABDUL has forged her own brand of dark alternative pop. Music quickly became a second language for Ari Abdul growing up in Brooklyn. It wasn't until LaRosa's mom encouraged Abdul to create her own music in July 2021 that lite the spark to share her voice with the world. She combines the reverb-heavy swells of your favorite shoegaze artists such as The Neighborhood and Lana Del Rey. Combining an array of visual and stylistic influences, Ari has cultivated a mysterious edge to her artistic endeavors. Earlier this year, she released her debut single BABYDOLL.
Zimbabwean-Australian rapper, singer and songwriter TKAY MAIDZA presents her confident lyrics and tight flow in an electronic sound that transcends genre boundaries. Her tracks contain elements of synth-pop, hip-hop, trap and grime, among others, and have earned her comparisons with experimental musicians such as Azealia Banks and M.I.A. as well as praise from the likes of Charli XCX and Killer Mike (Run The Jewels).
London represent - amidst the dynamism, diversity and volume of the British capital, HAK BAKER has found and shaped his very own sound. He describes it as G-folk, we hear a smooth groove; soundtracks for misfits and all those who are still searching for themselves and their place in the world. Melodic-British-organic; somewhere between reggae beats, piano chords, punk attitude and a lyrical description of the world.
Social Commentary with a sound that ranges from punk to country to electronic pop; GOAT GIRL. There are different vocal styles (soft, restrained, bloody and rough), voices, samples and animal noises are used - the band from South London is innovative without being exhausting. Instead, they build their own sonic habitat from which they send songs out into the world and political themes to society (with wit, style and guaranteed catchiness).
Dream pop for sleepless nights, goth sounds for the sunrise. ART SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND explores herself and the sounds she can create - an ambient-dramatic heroine's journey through ballads, indie verses and drums. She doesn't think about the lyrics, she thinks in the lyrics; melancholic and honest at the same time.
PRETTY GIRL; the producer, vocalist and DJ, brings emotion to the club with her warm-blooded productions and captivating live set. She’s really big in australia already, but the hype is building up in europe too – for her and her unique combinations of House, UKG, techno and delicate vocals. One to watch, to hear, to dance to!
Was denn? Wasser! Everyone knows who these adlibs belong to: No shyness in the lyrics, merciless on the 808. She is the MC to watch. Was denn? Wasser!
Debbie Friday is coming - and with her a wall of sound between hip-hop, soul and industrial sounds, powerful and challenging at the same time. The Nigerian-Canadian solo artist and self-made producer has already caused an uproar among critics in her home country and won several awards with her debut album "Good Luck"; now she is making Europe and Hamburg unsafe. How nice: because her songs empower with clever constructions and lyrical lyrics: Anthems for believing in yourself and your own uniqueness.
DIGGIDANIEL aka a new star of the new German wave (NNDW). The inspirations and impressions are clear to hear (Depeche Mode, The Cure or Joy Division), but DIGGIDANIEL develops his sound in a timeless manner. Big choruses, few words and a captivating atmosphere - this is how he creates his own acoustic world of confidence, melancholy and longing. Has the finiteness of the moment ever been sung about so beautifully?
LEILA has achieved what others can only dream of: she wrote and taped a song, uploaded it just like that - and soon "Gun to my head" will have two million streams.
We think: so well deserved! Because her songs turn every audience into a choir that sings along to every line; her lyrics gently reveal a life and its struggles; her entire rise provides visibility, contradicts rigid social norms and gives us all incredibly good music.
KATHA PAUER is direct, unvarnished; an extraordinary singer-songwriter. Melancholy, anger and lightness characterize her sound - sometimes cheeky, sometimes serious, but always honest. There are no rules for her. Come along, you can get lost in these melodies.
This is roughly what it would sound like if chaos made music: BESLIK. Boloboys member who seems to be releasing tracks non-stop, who is bursting with ideas, who delivers both trap and hyperpop, punky ignorance and rumbly techno. This is what it feels like to be young in these years: big crises and loud sounds; BESLIK makes German rap that reflects his and our world.
Riot Pop 'til you drop. Get Jealous come to the show on a skateboard to finally tear everything down. A live spectacle that you don't want to miss: Marek, Marike and Otto slam their songs into the audience with a brute force and rousing energy that is second to none. Stagedive guarantee included.
What began as a frenetic one-man show literally underground - in front of a handful of tightly packed people in a basement in southern Germany - has quickly grown into a musical tour de force. NILS KEPPEL and his three-piece live band played all over Germany last summer: from the Oettinger Villa in Darmstadt to Open Flair, from the Reeperbahn Festival to the legendary Berlin club Tresor. Now the multi-instrumentalist from Kandel in Rhineland-Palatinate is bringing his idiosyncratic take on post-punk and noise-pop to MS DOCKVILLE 2024.
“Why are there three people dancing in the DJ booth”, you may have asked yourself. But anyone who has experienced RSS Disco live will hear and see: every hand has a task in threading the seams of their genre-spanning sets.
RSS Disco have become synonymous with euphoric experiences for festival & club audiences all over Europe. Coming from a background of house and techno, they use their straws to slurp across (and to the very bottom of) the cosmic mélange that is music. Just add a cocktail umbrella for mixing.
The trio, who learned to dance to electronic music in Hamburg, stand for synthesizer disco, acid-dripping house and psychedelic techno like few other electronic musicians. They bring a sparkle that never feels made up.
LOLA HARO burst into the scene in 2018 with a fresh selection of warm sounds and an intuition for creating the right mood. Her love and passion for music and her authentic approach have been refreshing and gained her a lot of recognition within the scene (as well as an boiler room set). Exciting times are ahead!
Standing still is forbidden: GUSTAF live is loud, fast on their feet and constantly on the move. A sound of obsession that is simultaneously soulful, androgynous and infectiously danceable - the New York based band is a grab bag that is also bursting with riffs, shouts and (indie) melodies.
Elias is a singer, rapper and producer - and at the same time an enigma, because in his videos his face is made unrecognizable by wild scribbles or storm masks. But in his music, he shows himself; he talks unvarnishedly about the pain of separation and conflicts. All this against a soundscape in which everything seems to be allowed and yet every snare finds its ideal place: sensitive, experimental indie pop with an abysmal, bass-heavy hip-hop ambience, head voice and guitar chords. Gentleness clashes with roughness, how beautiful!
Soft Loft is a safe haven, an attitude, a way of life. It’s where the broken and the imperfect are embraced and celebrated. Soft Loft is non-hierarchical. Soft Loft is where reality is transmuted into dreams and dreams back into reality. Judgement is suspended here. Because vulnerability is the gateway to connection. Anything goes, as long as it’s heartfelt and it flows. Soft Loft is a collective of musicians dedicated to creating safe spaces using sound.
ZOMBIES IN MIAMI is a project created by Cani & Jenouise and despite the name they are not crawling around Miami, but shining out their light from Mexico. The couple became one of the most prominent members of Mexico‘s vital electronic scene over the last decade. You can call their sound a rhythmic and synth-driven house and techno hybrid, with a disco and balearic twist, which is held together by the oh so sweet Italo Drama.
Most people are one thing. A producer, a DJ, a networker, an activist, a community inspirer. SYLVIE MAZIARZ is one of those rare artists that combine it all.

LISA DE LUNE is playing honest techno. Her sets are galactic soundscapes of straight kick drums, playful atmospheres, subtle psy-elements, and romantic acids. No matter if it’s a club hit or an underground pearl: the crowd should be raving, and the bass should go through the roof. On her journey across parallel worlds and subcultures, she finally ended up in Berlin, where she loves to stand at the decks of her favorite floors. She firmly believes: Techno is an endless space of possibilities, and the best invention since sound systems are part of planet earth.
