Lado in the City joins forces with Recognition Records, celebrating the 25th anniversary of this esteemed club label.

Charlie is Leona Jacewska, a Polish DJ based in Krakow who runs the Szum party, where she connects the dots between icy electro and euphoric italo. She has been honing her craft as a DJ for years, both at local events and beyond, most recently at underground venues in Leipzig, Berlin (with the Mechatronica crew) and with Olivia in Zurich at Lux Institute. As a producer, Charlie has releases on labels such as Dom Trojqa, Mechatronica and on Ferry Lane Records. In addition to electronic music, Charlie is a talented pianist who has contributed to both stage and film over the years.

Lado will also host a live set from Escape From Warsaw, the current solo project of Polish artist Karol Suka, known from projects including the electronic-experimental Arkona, active 1995 through 2003, and the acid punk outfit Street City Nomads, set up in 2006. The project's music is a follow-up, both in intellectual and stylistic terms, to the experiments of Arkona's releases – a journey into unknown areas, psychedelic meanderings attained with the use of analogue equipment, acid bass, beats and dub echoes, sonic twists and collages made with samples lifted from old films.

Jacek Sienkiewicz, founder of Recognition Records, will of course also be performing in a hybrid formula - both live and as a DJ. This Warsaw-based techno producer is considered a pioneer of the genre in Poland and a veteran of the electronic scene; in addition to releases on his label, he has also had the opportunity to present his music to fans on labels such as Cocoon, No. and Atonal.
