Our vision builds on the Bay Area's legacy of Deep Listening as a method to train perception and unlock sound as a tool for exploring the mind. We pair that practice with state-of-the-art Neptune systems and forward-thinking techno artists who, through psychoacoustics, repetition, and rigorous sound design, forge a new semantic architecture encoding cultural experimentation and movement-based meditation. In this frame, techno represents the ideal medium: a rigorous, exploratory practice that facilitates deep auditory focus.
Endzeit events convene diverse, intentional communities filtered by commitment rather than spending power or privilege. Operating as a nonprofit, we ensure that creative dialogue remains accessible to everyone, especially queer, trans, BIPOC, other racial and ethnic minorities, academics, community activists, and all other economically marginalized groups. One in five attendees enters free of charge; admission runs through a private list to protect underserved voices, and we manually review thousands of requests each season. Our approach is inseparable from techno’s lineage: born of Black innovators in Detroit and expanded by queer communities in Berlin, treating inclusivity as a structural raison d'être.
When deep listening meets high-fidelity systems and artists working at the edge, spaces become laboratories for collective inquiry structured for diverse, intentional communities. The result is cultural exploration that uplifts participants and builds collective care, true to techno’s foundational values, rendering experimental sound both spiritual practice and an engine of social inclusion.
Endzeit Co-founder
Equal parts curator and performer, Kudeki has been a leading voice in the Bay Area’s LGBTQ+ scene for over a decade. Before creating Endzeit, she co-founded Noctuary, a community-driven event series that platformed women and nonbinary artists, helping shift the city towards more inclusive nightlife. She’s also a resident DJ of Müll, queer underground staple in the Bay Area, known along with Endzeit for its curated lineups and extended hours, running regularly until dawn. With a background as a classically trained cellist, she discovered early that music is a shared practice. Years in ensemble settings sharpened her ear for collective timing, bass-percussion interaction, and the emotional charge of sound felt together in a room. Across all projects, she cultivates alternative spaces with diverse dancefloors, treating techno as a medium for connection.
Endzeit Co-founder
Andrea is an Italian/American music producer, community organizer, and cognitive neuroscience enthusiast from Bologna, Italy. His journey in music production began during his masters degree at MIT, where he joined the Electronic Music Composition program under Peter Whincop. Today, alongside Quentin Notte, he produces techno under the moniker of Torsion (FKA Sentient). Andrea's work bridges science and the arts, drawing from a deep interest in neuroaesthetics and the human experience of sound. In 2023, he presented at the Aspen Institute Festival, showcasing emerging innovations in auditory perception and sensory expansion. Since 2021, Andrea has collaborated with Stanford neuroscientist David Eagleman on sensory substitution, developing technologies that expand human perception beyond its traditional limits – a pursuit that aligns with Endzeit's vision of sound as a tool for spiritual enlightenment.

Dr. Devin Zuber is a scholar of religion, educator, and spiritual guide, committed to exploring the intersection of sacred tradition, literature, and contemporary expressions of faith. A tenured professor of religion and literature at the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) in Berkeley, his academic journey has taken him across the world, holding teaching positions and fellowships at institutions such as Humboldt University of Berlin, Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Stockholm University, and the British Library's Eccles Centre for American Studies in London. Through his scholarship, he examines how narratives, symbolism, and artistic expressions shape spiritual identity and religious experience. Dr. Zuber has worked with communities in Fryeburg, Maine, and Kansas, and has been actively involved in humanitarian efforts, including volunteering at Berlin's Hauptbahnhof during the Ukrainian refugee crisis of 2022.
– Sound engineer, Neptune Audio
Albrecht earned his PhD in physics and conducted research at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden before continuing his nanophysics work at IBM in California; he founded Neptune Audio to deliver world-class audio experiences for transformational events. Countless international musicians, DJs and sound engineers have praised Neptune Audio for offering the best sound in North America, testifying to Albrecht’s relentless pursuit of technical precision and performance excellence.
– Live visuals and installations, Subset
Norwegian-born and San Francisco–based, Andreas Brændhaugen is a visual artist and designer educated at Stanford University. Best known as Subset, his long-running live visuals collaboration with Sarah Nahm, he has become a fixture of the Bay Area underground. With a style defined by geometric austerity, found footage, and sound-reactive systems, Andreas has accompanied the techno vanguard at MUTEK.SF, YBCA, and Recombinant Festival. Beyond live performance, he organizes cultural events such as BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer), supporting a network of experimental visual artists.
– Live visuals and installations, Radiant Atmospheres
Adam K. is an Experiential Designer and Photon Producer from San Francisco, based in Emeryville. A deep passion for animation, cinema, design, fabrication, and electronics informs his hands-on approach to immersive experiences: operating in shared sound-space realms, he invites audiences to "blend abstraction and resolution through visible light among active observers, allowing positive and negative spaces to intertwine." A long-standing member of Radiant Atmospheres, an Oakland lighting collective, he works with the ephemeral choreography of power, lighting/video systems, computers, and rigging, sustained by an inclusive community. "These radiant atmospheres are made whole when filled with sonic excellence."
– Space Architecture and Experience Design, The Void
The Void is an immersive installation project by multidisciplinary artists Anne Trinh and Milana Vachuska, exploring the fragile balance between transcendence and exhaustion within club culture. Through an evolving dialogue of space, sound, and light, the Void creates places for rest and renewal within otherwise highly stimulating environments. The project envisions the club as both a site of release and return - a space where stillness can coexist with movement, and rest becomes a form of presence within the rhythm of collective experience.
– Head of Design
Marco Maldarella is a multidisciplinary artist, electronic music producer, and designer. Known for his deep involvement in underground music and visual aesthetics, he has crafted the brand identity of Endzeit, blending a minimal graphic design approach with a distinct visual narrative. Marco's personal research delves into the symbiotic relationship between visual rhythm, detail, and the evolving language of visual art as influenced by technology and subcultures: a continuous exploration of synesthesia, integrating sight and sound in a way that reflects a devotion to aesthetic minimalism, combined with an chaotic post-internet abstractism.
