Alva

Few people are as involved in their scene as Alva. She is not only committed fully to the music, but also fights the good fight for the preservation of these essential spaces, keeping clubs open and rents affordable, keeping minds open and extremists out. Her fast-paced style featuring a diverse sound palette is the perfect soundtrack for the demonstrations she often performs at, like the 1st of May demonstration in Berlin or the “Wem gehört die Stadt”-parade. Her sets consist of well-thought-out build ups and quick transitions, executed with almost surgical precision. This passion and dedication caught the eye of many party collectives and in 2018 Alva joined the infamous ISMUS collective, known for hosting some of the most intense and extended parties in the capital. Her name is a common sight on line-ups in Berlin and beyond, be it at the underground queer club nights Mala Junta in Berlin or Endurance in Copenhagen. She has played every major club in Berlin including the Säule at Berghain and also boasts impressive booking outside of her hometown such as FOLD (UK), Flashback (HUN), Schron (PL) or Das Werk (AT). In the uncertain and troubling times we are living in, there was never more reason to dance and to fight!
