A masterclass in psychedelic techno. On Friday, May 15th, Ratatouille Project brings the legendary Boshke Beats Records label boss, Alex Tolstey, to F8 for a night of deep, twisted, and genre-defying electronic music.

For over 25 years, Alex Tolstey has been operating at the bleeding edge of the underground. As the mastermind behind Boshke Beats Records—founded in 2000—he is widely credited with pioneering the fusion of raw techno, acid house, and psychedelic trance. The resulting "Boshke Sound" is a dark, driving, and deeply cerebral style of future music that has influenced countless artists and captivated dancefloors from Berlin warehouses to global sunrise festival stages.

Tolstey is a master selector known for his expansive, journey-driven sets. Expect an immersive, high-energy ride through driving basslines, mind-bending analogue sequences, and heavy, psychedelic techno that refuses to be boxed into a single genre.

F8’s renowned sound system provides the perfect, intimate vessel for Boshke's intricate audio landscapes. Bring your dancing shoes and prepare for a proper trip.
