Koempel Collective consists of four DJs with a passion for techno. They each represent a different subgenre. Get to know them below!

I5HI

I5HI is the driving force who turns ideas into action. Within Koempel Collective, he’s the natural initiator—the one constantly thinking ahead, developing new concepts, and building fresh connections. If there’s a new plan on the table, chances are I5HI is already three steps further into executing it. His passion for the collective is unmistakable: he motivates, pushes, and inspires everyone around him to contribute and grow. Unsurprisingly, his to-do list is the longest of them all.
That same forward-thinking mindset extends beyond the collective. I5HI is the founder of the “Another Level” podcast, a platform created to give DJs extra visibility by recording and showcasing their sets on video. It’s a reflection of his belief in community, progression, and creating opportunities—not just for himself, but for others as well.
As a DJ and producer, I5HI has gone through an impressive artistic evolution over the past few years. What began as techno infused with acid influences has developed into a deep passion for Schranz, shaping a sound that is raw, relentless, and highly refined. His sets are intense, driving, and uncompromising—built for movement, pressure, and energy.
Having already played at numerous venues, I5HI has proven his presence behind the decks, while still standing at the beginning of what promises to be a powerful and exciting career. With his constant hunger for growth, both musically and creatively, I5HI is an artist who doesn’t just follow the scene—he pushes it forward.

HUH?

HUH? is the heartbeat of the group when it comes to energy and good vibes. Known as the clown of the collective, he uses humor to keep everyone smiling and the atmosphere light—no matter the situation. Call him day or night and he’ll be there, ready to jump in without hesitation. His enthusiasm is infectious, and his presence alone already lifts the room.

Within Koempel Collective, HUH? shines on the production side of things. From venue layouts and technical setups to wild stage concepts and unexpected ideas, he’s the one who makes it all happen behind the scenes. Give him a space and a vision, and he’ll turn it into an experience. Creative, hands-on, and always thinking in possibilities rather than limitations.

Musically, HUH? started his journey in trance, which still forms the emotional and melodic foundation of his sound. Over time, he has been exploring a harder edge, resulting in sets that are high-energy, unpredictable, and incredibly diverse. Whether it’s driving techno, harder influences, or even unexpected blends even with rock elements—nothing is off-limits.

Getting a crowd moving comes naturally to HUH?. Reading the room, playing with energy, and creating moments that stick is simply in his blood. His sets feel spontaneous, playful, and powerful—proof that serious energy and fun don’t have to be opposites.

MØNO

MØNO is the newest addition to Koempel Collective, and one who immediately found his place within the group. Through sheer enthusiasm, dedication, and a genuine love for music, he quickly won over the hearts of the collective. Always ready to help wherever needed, MØNO consistently goes the extra mile and contributes in every way he can—making him a true all-rounder within the team.

Musically, subtlety is not his strong suit—in the best possible way. His sound is hard, relentless, and unapologetic, deeply rooted in industrial influences. Never afraid to push boundaries, MØNO effortlessly bridges the gap between industrial and raw, creating intense and powerful sets that leave a lasting impact.

Behind the decks, his energy is impossible to miss. MØNO doesn’t stand still for a single second, fully immersed in every track he plays. He knows his music inside out and radiates pure enjoyment throughout his sets. That passion is contagious—spreading straight to the crowd and turning every performance into a shared, high-intensity experience.

JØYCE

JØYCE is someone who thrives on structure, chaos, and everything in between. With a background in law and fiscal law, she naturally gravitated toward the administrative backbone of Koempel Collective, where she takes care of planning, organization, and keeping the bigger picture intact. She’s the one who brings clarity, structure, and order—driven by an almost obsessive love for planning. Ironically, organizing her own life with the same precision remains her biggest challenge.

Her musical journey started long before genres became fragmented and hyper-defined. Growing up in a time when techno was still raw and less compartmentalized, JØYCE developed a deep-rooted love for the sound in its purest form. Hardcore played a major role in shaping her musical identity, leaving a lasting imprint that still resonates in her sets today.

As a DJ, JØYCE fuses this early hardcore influence with modern hard techno and gabber, creating an energetic and unapologetically powerful sound. At the same time, she has a soft spot for happy, bouncy, feel-good tracks, weaving moments of joy and playfulness into her high-intensity sets. The result is a dynamic balance between hardness and happiness—music that hits hard, but always moves.

Behind the decks, JØYCE channels both discipline and freedom: structured in vision, wild in execution. A DJ who honors the roots, embraces intensity, and never forgets that techno can be tough and fun at the same time.
