You are in for a wild ride when The Jakob Sister aka DJ Gonzo steps into the Game and turns the
dance floor to her playground with no breaks. Being one of the masterminds behind the infamous
Sachsentrance Crew, as well as part of the Duos Funky Floorburn and Hitstorm, she can be
understood as an irresistible force of hard beats mixed with the essence of her collective itself: hot
floorbangers and a fun attitude about it. What makes her musical performance absolut unique is
her diverse repertoire, ranging from trance to hardtrance, acid, hard house and neo rave–she
understands how to make you sweat! You know it’s been a Sachsentrance Party when you leave
the party after an unforgettable night, your body moved into a transcendental stadium and your
mind asking itself if it accidentally landed in a Club Edition of Fast & Furious–Full Power BPM:
equally satisfied and hungry for more.

Sachsentrance emerged from a small open air as a counter-movement to the Day of Saxony, loud, shrill, and provocative. As a label and
brand, Sachsentrance has quickly established itself in the underground scene. The Sachsentrance
Residents are pushing a hybrid set of Trance sounds–the motto: always forward. They
compliment each other fabulously through their extraordinary styles of Trance, Hardtrance, Acid,
Hardhouse, Psytrance, Hardstyle, and Hardtekk. The collective now includes seven artists (Atreo,
Hotboi, Paralich, RaverPik, The Jakob Sister, Sabu! and Blame The Booker). With the Sachsentrance
Label, they have already produced and released three vinyl records and several online releases.
The Sachsentrance Residents are playing at shows and festivals all over Germany and the World.
Last year they had their first china and Colombia tour, with more to come. Furthermore, they have
residencies in Leipzig and Berlin clubs like Distillery, Conne Island, Zur Klappe, and Remise, where
they curate regular events. Killer podcasts include live sessions for HÖR, La Darude Paris, and
Operator Radio Rotterdam. Sachsentrance has become a constant part of the scene. With a lot of
free spirit, humor, tolerance, and a great passion for trance music, they have set a dynamic in
motion that goes far beyond the previous celebration. With a lot of good and true energy, they
manage to celebrate themselves and their music in the hearts of their fans. The experiment
Sachsentrance has become a unique experience, a musical rush of complete ecstasy. Nevertheless,
Sachsentrance is not here just for fun–they want to facilitate attention and support for left
structures and awareness work–with their parties they want to create a safe space in which a
responsible and aware approach is guaranteed. Sachsentrance stands for resistance and protests
against right-wings and any form of discrimination.
