the whole biography
She has her own rhythm in music and in life -- before finally stepping behind the decks herself, DJ BONEY S already looked back on two decades of club culture experience. Passionately collecting vinyl from various different genres for years, she started out as a party organiser in her native Belgium. Her behind the scenes work continued after relocating to Germany where she was heavily involved in establishing the PARALLEL nights at Griessmühle as a fixture of Berlin nightlife. As a former booker and label head, DJ BONEY S developed her own unique taste that is first and foremost shaped by one timeless medium: VINYL. She draws from classic 90s sounds and queer techno, travelling to otherworldly electro or cold industrial beats. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes pouncing -- but always trippy -- her sets invite you to close your eyes. DJ BONEY S is a resident of SOUSAMI (Cyprus), female:pressure member and publishes the PRALL podcast series. She is also one half of DJ Frottée and Hypnotist, both together with zikade. She was a core member for 3 years of the Berlin based queer collective SLIME.Their RA profile lists Parallel Berlin.often with zikade, DJ FEMMS, Belanze, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Rooted in Hamburg's underground scene, Najeh is part of Café Soda, the city's defining house institution, as resident and music director. The collective built a reputation for sharp curation and serious bookings, becoming a platform that connected him with artists like Saoirse, Ryan Elliott, Cromby, Sally C and Chloé Caillet. His breakout moment came through an accident. Digging for samples, he tracked down a vocal previously used by Patrick Topping on "Forget" - and built a track around it in a single session with his friend and producer Ben Evers. He saved it to a Dropbox folder he'd accidentally shared with Saoirse. Months later, he saw a video of her playing it to five thousand people losing their minds. That track is "Chica", now released on Saoirse's trUst Recordings in collaboration with Disorder. It is one of the most talked-about records of summer 2026, after a Circoloco Thailand video passed a million views, and the tune got support from DJs worldwide. More is coming: releases on Luuk van Dijk's imprint and Chloé Caillet's Smiile label are lined up for the summer. "I never ran after trends," Najeh says. "I always did what I feel and love. The hunger never went away."Their RA profile lists SMIILE Records.often with EliaHaze, Neco, Lush Lab, none of them here that night
