zikade
As a passionate raver and longtime lover of electronic music, zikade only stepped behind the decks as a way to keep her mind sane during lockdown. With club doors closed, official gigs seemed a thought of the distant future, and zikade's very personal and emotional approach to DJing led her to quickly develop her own favourite sound. Inspired by her dedication to hard kicks and gloomy melodies, zikade travels between Dark Disco, Italo Body Music, and Techno, with occasional sparks of Electro, EBM, and Industrial appearing. Her sets always strive to be connected less by genre than by atmosphere —- dark but groovy, melancholic but sexy -- a sound best described as Neo Beat. Her love for the medium vinyl inspired zikade to further develop her sound, adding forgotten pre-techno-era tracks and rare vinyl only releases to her collection.
zikade is part of the vinyl only projects DJ Frottée and Hypnotist, alongside DJ BONEY S. Regular at Mensch Meier and MS Treue, she has also played at Renate and ://about blank amongst others, as well as bringing her sound to club nights outside of Germany like Cyprus or Switzerland.

Their rooms
One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2025, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.
- KaterAug 2025 – Aug 20263 nights
- RenateJul 2026 – Aug 20262 nights
- Crack BellmerDec 2025 – Apr 20262 nights
Once each: Beate Uwe, Kwia, arkaoda Berlin and Zur Klappe. Two of the 13 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.
Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
Hypnotist has stood on 1 of these bills. Hypnotist is one of the names zikade records under, so they are named here rather than counted as company. — their aliases on Resident Advisor
