and before the party, we perform.

Founded by Sara Dziri and Yasmine Dammak in 2019, Not Your Techno is a progressive party concept that challenges norms and fosters inclusivity within the thriving electronic music scene in Brussels and beyond.
In addition to being a play on words referencing a well-known Belgian electronic music festival, Not Your Techno embodies a progressive ethic focused on intersectionality, boldly advocating for the representation and empowerment of marginalized communities, including FLINTA* individuals, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Monstera Occulta (BE/MA)
Monstera Occulta is a Brussels-based selectress, vinyl junkie and - of course - dj, who has been collecting music for more than 15 years. She draws inspiration from her Belgian-Moroccan roots on an eternal quest for new sounds that transcend borders. SWANA genres and music that embraces darkness have a special soft spot in her heart and in her sets. Popular belly dance, avant-garde psychedelia, industrial techno, electronic doom noise, yes please thank you. Monstera Occulta is a regular at Bruzz and Kiosk, feels at home in the sunshine of Horst festival and in the darkest corners of Café Central, and tonight she opens the rooftop to steer the transition from introspective performance to collective euphoria in (very) good directions.

3Phaz (EG)
3Phaz is a Cairo based electronic producer mostly known for his powerful and fresh take on Egyptian mahraganat/shaabi sound, called post-shaabi. His debut album Three Phase was released on Egyptian label 100Copies in 2020 and quickly carved 3Phaz’s way into the international club music scene allowing him to perform all around Europe. His last album DrumTraTrax was released by Colombian label TraTraTrax and with further singles and remixes released on the likes of Rinse, Boomkat, Polaar, Nashazphone, and Irsh, today 3Phaz is an ambassador for innovative Egyptian electronics playing clubs and radio stations around the globe. After his last set for Kiosk in 2023, Brussels seems ready for another round.

ZOBAYDA (EG/NL)
ZOBAYDA is an Egyptian transdisciplinary artist and a multi-talent juggling projects as a DJ, photographer, filmmaker, producer and curator. Continuing the tradition of bringing people together through rhythm and percussion, she intuitively selects tracks based on energy rather than on genre, mixing an array of beats and sounds with influences from around the global south and its diaspora. Currently ZOBAYDA is based in the Netherlands, from where she regularly takes a direct train to Kiosk Radio, and once before to this very rooftop for the Tashweesh closing party. Welcome back <3

Sara Dziri (BE/TN)
As a creative outlaw on the edge of what’s new and exciting, Sara Dziri rejects genre constraints, embracing a boundless spectrum of sound. Through her residency at the legendary Fuse Club, she mastered the art of the closing shift, delivering high-energy, groove-driven sets that go beyond mixing—enhancing moments, catching audiences, and bringing people in sync on the dancefloor. Her polyrhythmic and emotional productions flirt with trance, techno, house, and electro, blending her Belgian new beat and North African influences. A lover of fat bass lines, punchy grooves, and hypnotic synths, she infuses her music with regional instruments like the ney, darbuka, and Arabic violin. With Not Your Techno, her platform and event series, she amplifies underrepresented voices and challenges norms within the electronic music scene. Conceptual yet intuitive, her approach flows naturally—driven by emotion, rhythm, and a relentless desire to break free.
