C12 x Factor

March 01, 2025 | Night

A night curated by Factor, the booking agency & collective promoting artists and the evolving sound of techno, based in Brussels.

There are few artists carving out a legacy for themselves like Dax J is right now. The British DJ and producer from London has gone from pirate radio to magazine covers; from the backroom parties to headlining raves at every major techno institution the world over, all whilst staying true to the underground with an individual style all of his own. His technical skill, pure selection as a DJ and attention to high-end sound production has placed him at the forefront of a global scene, and established him as a singular presence within modern dance music.

A.mo is an French artist with a dark yet always vibrant universe. Passionate about electronic music for many years, she found a new way to express herself behind the decks, allowing her to fully express her personality. She takes pleasure to build incisive sets intended to transport us, playing fast-paced mental techno, between percussive grooves and dark atmospheres.

Representing Factor are Herton, Arne, Ponygirl and Charlie; a glimpse of Belgium’s new techno ambassadors.

Herton is a Belgian DJ and producer who has played a defining role in the electronic music scene over the past decade. His signature sound—a unique blend of deep, rolling basslines and immersive atmospheric layers—creates an intense, hypnotic experience that captivates audiences and evokes raw, emotional energy on the dancefloor.

As a key figure in the Brussels electronic music community, Herton is more than just an artist; he is also a dedicated organizer and curator. His experience as a booker at Zodiak and now at C12, one of Brussels’ most influential venues, has given him a deep understanding of the evolving underground scene. His rhythm-driven approach to music, both in his sets and productions, reflects his commitment to pushing boundaries while staying true to the essence of club culture.

Beyond his work as a DJ and curator, Herton is the co-founder of Factor Club Agency, a Brussels-based international booking agency dedicated to representing artists who share a stripped-down, groove-focused vision of electronic music. Through Factor, he continues to build a global network, fostering connections between like-minded artists and forward-thinking promoters, ensuring that the music remains at the core of the culture.

Ponygirl, a Berlin-based artist, creates immersive soundscapes with a hypnotic and unconventional approach. Guiding listeners from deep, earthy ambiances to shimmery, airy atmospheres, their sound blends multilayered grooves with intricate percussive patterns. By crafting dynamic sets that ebb and flow with intensity, they foster a powerful connection with the crowd, creating a truly collective experience.

Over the years, their exploration of sound has evolved into a more minimalistic yet impactful style. Focusing on the subtle nuances of sound and silence, they evoke emotional responses and invite the audience to engage more intimately with the art. This evolution allows them to explore the interplay between simplicity and complexity, experimenting with unconventional rhythms and captivating contrasts.

Continuously pushing boundaries, Ponygirl draws from a wide range of influences, from ambient soundscapes to driving techno beats. Their innovative approach has solidified their reputation in the Berlin electronic music scene, captivating audiences with evocative storytelling and electrifying performances.

Charlie. is a DJ from Beirut, now based in Berlin. Her sound is relentless, driving techno—both mentally captivating and physically intense—always edged with groove.

Despite starting her journey only a few years ago, she has quickly established herself as a rising force in the techno scene.

Early on, she immersed herself in the archives of underground ’90s producers, a deep dive that shaped the foundation of her musical identity. This path led her to embrace the raw energy of purist techno, a sound that deeply resonates with her artistic vision.

Her first experiences behind the decks took place at warehouse raves on the outskirts of Paris—a defining moment that fueled her passion and naturally led her to Berlin. Since settling in the German capital, Charlie. has played in renowned venues such as Tresor, Radion, C12, and more.

Constantly pushing sonic exploration, she continues to refine her craft, captivating audiences with her bold and distinctive approach. With influences spanning eras and genres, and a creative energy shaped by diverse musical roots, Charlie is part of a new wave of artists redefining the global electronic music landscape.

Arne C is a Belgian DJ and curator from Ghent. Deeply rooted in the local underground
techno scene, his sets are a unique mix of stripped-down elements, relentless energy,
and a constant rhythm, always with great care to precision.

Arne C plays an active role in shaping Ghent’s local scene. As the founder of
Kotsessie, a series of intimate house parties, he has created a platorm dedicated to forward-thinking electronic music, bringing like-minded artists together. His residency at Decadance, one of the city’s most iconic venues, has further solidified his presence, allowing him to refine his signature sound and push his vision forward.
