DECODER returns on July 18 to Tskhiskari, by Turtle Lake, with its summer series — bringing electronic music lovers a lineup of standout artists under the open sky, surrounded by greenery:

I Hate Models is the alias of a French producer and DJ who performs behind a mask and has become one of the most influential names on today’s electronic music scene. His sound is uniquely eclectic, blending moods that range from nostalgia and solitude to melancholy and raw brutality.

999999999 is an Italian techno duo celebrated worldwide by fans of heavy, cold, and uncompromising sound. Their live shows, DJ sets, and studio productions are known for constant evolution, improvisation, and powerful energy — securing their place at the forefront of the techno avant-garde.

Greenbeam & Leon is one of Georgia’s most notable techno projects, launched in 2002 by Tbilisi-based producers Achi Tabukashvili and Leon Lolishvili. The two later continued their careers as successful solo artists under the names Vulkanski and Boyd Schidt. Now, 20+ years after founding the project, they reunite for a series of special anniversary sets.

Karina Saakyan is a leading figure in Armenia’s electronic music and club culture. As a resident of Yerevan’s iconic queer party series Diaries, her sets are known for their refined storytelling, technical mastery, and a constant emotional connection with the crowd.
