May we introduce you to our guests?

Theus Mago
Theus Mago is the alter ego of Mexican producer Mateo González, responsible for dance music projects such as Bufi (Kitsuné/ Discotexas), Sonido Fantasma (Turbo Recordings) and currently co-head of label Duro. Theus Mago is a new side of Mateo obscure experimental rhythms meet the rigourness of the party dancefloor. In 2015, Theus Mago released “Ritmo Extraterrestre” through the french/german label Correspondant, earning quick support from the likes of Solomun, Dixon, Âme and Haai, kicking off a constantly busy world touring schedule. Mateo’s alter ego has lately been on a steady streak of solid releases, including labels around the globe such as Lumiere Noire, Turbo Recordings, Optimo, Ombra Intl, Duro, Feines Tier, Correspondant and Pets Recordings, among many others.

O/Y live
O/Y is a contemporary approach to the synthesis of minimal, dub, electronica, ambient & downtempo synonymous for impulsive grooves ensnared by deep pads and lighthearted melodies, O/Y is always shifting playfully between micro and macrocosm.
Artists such as Polar, Skudge, Moritz Von Oswald and Jay Dilla don’t often find themselves mentioned in the same breath; as a musical alignment, however, they paint an accurate picture of the rich sound spectrum of this virtuoso. After four years of touring the world with his live set, O/Y started his own label ‘Doubt Records’ in 2022, organising releases, events and radio-shows under that very name.

M.RUX
Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist and DJ, M.RUX, is something of a contradiction: At once a slow grind in sweaty ecstasy, while at the same time observing you from a distance, legs crossed, tapping one foot gently.
The same goes for the construction of his music. Deceptively simple at first listen, each track is building into a complex,dirty-minded concoction of soul samples, melodies, beats and varied sounds and rhythms. Handclaps and wooden percussion intertwine with dub-heavy bass beats. Banjos and harmonicas alternate with city sounds from the urban canyons of a gritty metropolis. Blurry voices and distant murmurs interact with chimey chords. Doctor John jams along with Kode9. Hyperdub acts as a tripping backing band for the Chain Gang. Carefully digged samples, acoustic field recordings, bells and percussion are nestled up against rolling beats and synthesizer loop.
M.RUX brings together his favourite findings in music history with what he predicts to be music’s future, paying respect to both and establishing a new sound somewhere between abstract dance tunes and subtle break beats

Commander Love
There are two things that unite the people: love and music. Lucky one who knows how to connect these elements and lucky for us that he became a DJ. And this is how his space shuttle reached Earth in the last decade (some people say it even came from Venus).
With lots of devotion the Commander seeks out the most beautiful sang and spoken words dressed in their loveliest instrumental dresses for us. And as you know neither music nor love distinguish between colors the messiahs of love is not fixed on his musical roots as a founder of the legendary electro group Kombinat 100.
That is how we can listen to a sweet repertoire of Folk, Country, Reggae, 80ies, Hip Hop, Pop and Acoustic sophisticated with special and far away imported cover versions. So it is no surprise that hearts break open and dance floors, car radios, internet streams and couches turn into a place of salvation and satisfaction.
Local international support by Feines Tier residents Keikee and Philipp Fein.

Feines Tier existiert als Party seit 2010 mit regelmäßigen, Veranstaltungen in Kölner Locations wie Odonien, Schrebergarten, Gewölbe, Jackwho und Auswärtsspielen in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig, München oder Stuttgart. Mit dem gleichnamigen Label wurden seit 2012 inzwischen 60 EP’s und Alben veröffentlicht, oftmals auch auf Vinyl.
Zur Premiere im fi haben die feinen Tiere DASCO eingeladen, deren englischsprachige Kurzbio wir nicht ins Deutsche übersetzen möchten:
DASCO’s energy is infectious. The Berlin-based DJ, producer and label owner has been setting dancefloors alight over the past decade. A true house and techno aficionado, the roots of her sound can be traced back to electronic music’s golden age of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Carrying an undeniable sense of joy and liberation, she effortlessly blurs the lines between classic and contemporary; traits that continue to endear her to new audiences aplenty.
As a DJ, DASCO has graced the decks of a host of renowned dancefloors, including Panorama Bar, Bassiani, Fusion, Into the Woods or Polifonic Festival.

Die Tiefgang Crew veranstaltet Partys mit ausschließlich Midtempo und Downtempo Musik, das Tempo gedrosselt aber trotzdem tanzbar und ordentlich nach vorne!
Ausgefallene Deko- und Lichtkonzepte und ein ganz eigener Vibe machen die Veranstaltungen der Crew zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis.

Johannes Klingebiel – Scream! EP

Johannes Klingebiel is back on Feines Tier with his „Scream!“ EP. After releasing two sold out vinyl EP’s and an album on the label we are proud to present new tunes once again – this time with a digital 5-tracker packed with nutritious festival food for all the day- and night-times this summer.
„Show Up“ is probably best served when the sun shows up and you can raise one hand in the air while sipping on your Spritz with other. The title track „Scream!“ goes in a darker and weirder direction, Johannes probably channeling his inner Kosi here with those tipsy cowbells and wonky sample pads flying around.
When the sun’s getting low and you can’t make out „The Forest For The Trees“ through all this fog and dry ice, just play the tune with that title. The warm piano and string chords will guide you through it all.
„Urgent Calls“ might be the most straightforward deep house track Johannes ever made, yet it still got that hazy trippy Klingebiel touch to it. Maybe this should be your new ringtone?
Closing out the EP is „Beyond“ with its mix of chord- and mind-bending synths and… brass instruments? Anyway, it makes us feel like we’re in a Western movie getting ready for a stand-off but accidentally had some edibles in our breakfast cereals and now everything is starting to melt into each other. And now? Hit repeat!

Roe Deers – Landscape EP

Feines Tier is entering its 60s together with Lithuanian lad Liudas Lazauskas aka Roe Deers and his Landscape EP. We’re not exactly sure if those titular landscapes are to be understood literally, figuratively, metaphorically or all at once, nevertheless they are fascinating and a marvel to take in. Where and how do we start? With an (un)healthy dose of acid of course! „I’m very sorry (Acid)“ takes care of that, with the tune delivering everything the title promises, experience report included. Better make sure set and setting are right for this one! After that we’re taking a thrilling „Helicopter“ ride to „Glory“ and try not to loose our „Shoes“. Ok, that was a little cheap, I’m Very Sorry (Acid)! (Sorry again!) Anyway, to speak in strictly musical terms, „Helicopter“ is a banger. And „Glory“ is just beautiful with its gorgeous addictive swirling arps, while „Shoes“ keeps it cool tempo-wise and also mood-wise, creeping through some dark back-alleys with moody breakbeat drums and brooding synth chords. The penultimate „Silent Stories“ picks up the pace again a little bit, but gets even more grubby, hypnotic and seductive vocals included, before we get another face-melter with the closer „Sash“, which goes hard on the electric bass in your face, pitched-down vocals and some cowbells for good measure. Thank you Roe Deers for guiding us through these Landscapes for our 60th, the fresh air makes us feel like teenagers again.

Secret Factory – Neon Jaguar Odyssey EP

The Hungarian tinkerers of Secret Factory make their Feines Tier debut with the forceful Neon Jaguar Odyssey EP. 

And indeed the title track straight up sends us into a dizzying but satisfying whirlwind of emotions, with the rock-solid foundation of drums and bass guiding us through this odyssey safe and sound in the end. Similar things can be said about the follow-up „Metal Goblin“ with its simple yet catchy bassline loop building the groundwork for all the detuned percussions, confused vocal snippets and massive synth sounds. The result is a hypnotic snake charmer of a track, made for post-apocalyptic discotheques, all shiny and chrome. 

„Visions Of Joy“ doubles down on these vibes, impalpably luring us in with a stripped-down and brutally effective beat and tinges of oriental adjacent synth pads. The record-closing „Life After Birth“ starts out relatively innocent with broken drum machine patterns, but reveals itself to be another dance floor monster in the final minutes, cleverly layering analogue synth sounds on top of each other to lead us to a mesmerizing climax.
