Torture the Artist presents eDEMi

w/ Filippo MSM & Cat Curl, Holger Breuer, Lukas Urbaum

September 6, 2025 at Haus 73, Hamburg

Livestream starts at 7:30 PM | Main event starts at 11:00 PM

After two compelling editions, including a memorable second round with the Horsemen delivering a masterclass in House music, eDEMi returns to its home base at Haus 73 with a special cross-channel showcase. This time, Torture the Artist welcomes two selectors from London whose record collections and curatorial ethos speak volumes: Filippo MSM and Cat Curl.

Together, they run the Unexpected Items event series and Loose FM radio show, curating intimate nights at London staples like Allmyfriends, The Marquis, Ton Of Brix, and Boat Live. Their bookings have included the likes of Kalani, Neville Watson, Enchanted Rhythms, Jade Seatle, Caldera, and Ysanne. As DJs, they've recently appeared at venues across Europe, from Masada in Milan and Funk in the Forest in Wales to Berlin's Utopie and Mad Radio in Barcelona.

Filippo MSM is a lynchpin of the London scene, operating at the intersection of sound and structure. He heads up the multi-format label Kulture Galerie and the more recently founded Growing Pleasures, whose first release by Natebytheway - who some of you might know from his Torture the Artist-showcase last year - earned praise from heavyweights like Dr. Banana. He also forms one half of Metropolitan Soul Museum, co-runs Improove PR, and hosts the Elevator Music show on Noods Radio. His many ventures reflect an unyielding commitment to quality and underground spirit.

Cat Curl is a connoisseur of Acid, Detroit Techno, and progressive cuts with bite. Her selections are shaped by a vast vinyl archive and an ear tuned toward tension, stomp, and subtle seduction. Her debut mix was done for the I Love Acid and WGD maestro Placid! - a fitting welcome for someone whose sets glide effortlessly between the rugged and the refined.

Before the night moves indoors, the sun-yard at Haus 73 will host a livestream session with Filippo performing under his Porcino moniker- a name drawn from the Italian word for the prized Boletus edulis mushroom. Joining him for this golden-hour session are eDEMi resident Lukas Urbaum and Torture the Artist founder Holger Breuer.

Holger Breuer, whose curatorial hand has shaped Torture the Artist into one of the most distinctive platforms in electronic music journalism and events, brings years of deep digging and cultural insight to the decks. His sets blend House, Minimal, Breaks with HipHop-influences and understated emotional tension with pinpoint control - always storytelling, never static.

As daylight fades, the action shifts to the club, where Cat Curl joins the lineup for the nighttime portion of the event. Together with Filippo MSM, Holger Breuer, and Lukas Urbaum, she'll guide the floor through a night of groove-rich house and forward-leaning, proggy elegance - precise, playful, and infused with the trademark eDEMi spirit.
