Michail Stangl (DE)

Michail Stangl aka Opium Hum has been for 15+ years a vital force in the global electronic music underground, internationally known from his past life as one of Boiler Room’s faces and lead programmers and as one of the curators of the annual CTM Festival in Berlin. Melting bass-heavy club sounds with off-kilter rave bangers, and acidy steppers with industrialised Grime, his sets are an eclectic but skillful amalgamation of his oversized interest in new forms of dance music that are constantly emerging at the fringes of global rave culture. He has performed in over 40 countries world-wide, including China, Pakistan, Georgia, Peru, Vietnam and Uganda and is a resident DJ at São Paulo’s infamous Vampire Haus warehouse raves. He also runs his own online community and traveling event series called Hyper Real that currently holds a residency at Prague’s Fuchs2 club.
