Moonbootica
Moonbootica, the Hamburg-based DJ duo of KoweSix, also known as Oliver Kowalski, and Tobitob, real name Tobias Schmidt, who have performed together since 1999. The pair built their following through Hamburg's club scene, eventually launching their own Moonbootica party series at the Hafenklang venue, a night that became a recurring home base for their electro house and techno-leaning sets.
In 2001 they founded the label Moonbootique, using it to release their own tracks alongside music from other artists that fit into their DJ programming. Moonbootica's back-to-back DJ style, with both members trading tracks during live sets, became a signature of their performances at clubs and festivals across Germany and wider Europe.
Their party series helped anchor their reputation locally while their touring schedule extended their reach into the broader European electronic music circuit over more than two decades together. Combining a long-running club night, an independent label and consistent festival bookings, Moonbootica has remained active as a DJ duo well past the two-decade mark, with their Hamburg roots continuing to inform both their sound and their approach to programming club nights.
