James Lotion
James Lotion is a Berlin-based DJ with a genre-bending and eclectic style.
He is known to tease and please the audience with a selection of techno, house, and other adventurous club sounds, that are cheeky, high-energy, and unapologetically queer.
James Lotion believes that the dance floor is a place for self-exploration and emotional healing, so his sets are as much for the body as for the mind and take you on a journey of changing energies, wild selections, and ecstatic melodies.
In 2014 he founded SWEAT, a queer and trans DJ collective, that hosts club nights and events in Berlin.
He is a resident DJ at Det Andet Sted in Copenhagen.

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.
Once each: AMT, migas, a listening bar, Zur Klappe and Kater.
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.
