SunCTM Siberia’s Grand Finale warms up with DJ sets by the unpredictable Morphine label head Rabih Beaini, trance deconstructionist Lorenzo Senni, and a live set by Space Holiday Rocks, (the dance floor moniker of Mårble), before Hamburg native and Golden Pudel resident Helena Hauff takes over the decks.
Hauff's mixture of dirty acid, Chicago house, and new/cold wave carbonizes dance floors worldwide with devastatingly on-point dexterity. Joining the event are local DJ community Re_play. A DJ set by Buttechno, who also appears the previous evening at the Globus Main Hall, closes the evening – and the CTM Siberia festival.

He runs John’s Kingdom, a local community and label advocating anonymity («untitled united») and an anti-ego approach in music as fundamental principles of creativity.

A Lebanese-born producer best known for his grainy, imaginative techno as Morphosis, Rabih Beaini’s genuine musical ability and a range of influences from krautrock to new wave to folk music seep into his inventive, dark, and emotional productions. Increasingly steering clear of the techno realm in order to explore improvisation and new configurations such as with his Upperground Orchestra, Beaini retains an ongoing fascination with sound synthesis.
