Born and raised in France, CHERIII’s electrifying journey into the world of music kicked off in Lyon, where he began digging deep into the underground scene. After globe-trotting from Madrid to Montreal and landing in London, CHERIII dropped a bomb in 2014 with HOMODROP at the iconic Dalston Superstore. This queer club night quickly became one of the city’s most celebrated parties, cementing CHERIII’s reputation as a trailblazer in the queer underground scene. For the past five years, CHERIII has been a force to be reckoned with on Berlin’s underground scene, leaving his mark on renowned clubs and events across Europe, including Le Sucre (Lyon), Sala Apolo (Barcelona), Gegen (Berlin), Buttons (Berlin), Bassiani (Tbilisi), Blitz (Munich) and the legendary Berghain/Panorama Bar (Berlin). His recent HOMODROP takeover of Panorama Bar transformed the space into a dazzling queer haven, earning rave reviews and solidifying its reputation as one of Berlin’s most exciting parties. Beyond the decks, CHERIII has been making waves as a producer, with his standout track “Be Glamorous” gained widespread acclaim for its infectious energy and undeniable groove. From intimate queer spaces to Europe’s most prestigious clubs, CHERIII’s sets are a celebration of joy, freedom, and the power of music.

From sweaty basements of queer bars to festival mainstages at dawn, Charlie Vaux has emerged as a rising icon of Berlin’s underground scene, shining as a passionate and skilled selector and curator . As the visionary behind Neukölln’s genre-fluid party series LOVESHACK, resident artist at Hamburg’s iconic Queerpool and a member of the EBM/Darkwave label Crave Tapes, Vaux is firmly rooted in the queer underground and has carved a reputation as one of its most versatile and exciting emerging talents. After a decade spent twirling across Berlin’s dancefloors, collecting music and refining his taste, he is now making waves internationally , with appearances on HÖR and at renowned clubs like KHIDI, Tbilisi and Le Sucre, Lyon. Never one to resist a touch of drama and nostalgia, he effortlessly blends dark and sultry genres like Synthwave, EBM and Electro with brighter shades of Italo, House and Disco, crafting a signature sound that is eclectic, sensual, and vocal-driven. In 2025 he collaborated with Italian-born producer Leonardo Di Fiore on their cinematic debut EP “Changing Colors” , blending Vaux’ powerful vocals with dreamy synths, raw emotion and 80s nostalgia. The duo has since unveiled their new joint project, Opera Electric. Beyond the booth, Vaux channels his creativity into photography , filmmaking, and curating events that celebrate diverse music and queer community . A multidisciplinary artist through and through, Vaux channels fluidity and fearless self-expression into everything he does - creating unforgettable moments that resonate long after the last track fades.Their RA profile lists Shapeless Culture.Last at arkaoda Berlin in Aug · often with Desolate Discotheque, Electric Visionary, wannadosomething?, none of them here that night

‘IGNORE REALITY’ Inspired by Surrealism, the Berlin-and-London-based artist is known for bringing contrast to the realm of groovy and dance oriented music.

With a string of releases on Soma, MORD, Genesa Recordings, Metempsychosis Records and Ways to Die Records, and previously on Khemia and Planet Rhythm, End Train makes ‘computer body music’ centered on sharp drum patterns, hypnotic grooves, EBM-permeated basslines often brought alive by the artist’s own voice. Bookings in Tresor Berlin, Else, Renate, Village Underground, Corsica Studios, Electrowerkz, The Pickle Factory, Anomalie Berlin, Suicide Club, The Little Door Mumbai (India) and Goa india cropped up and proved pivotal in his trajectory as a stage performer.

their own biography
the whole biography
Inspired by Parliament Funkadelic, Prince and House music scene and based in Berlin since 2012, this queer collective has become one of the city’s most provocative and eccentric music imports. The legendary US talk show host Conan O’Brien selected SADO OPERA as a musical symbol of Berlin and joined them onstage for his TV special about the German capital. The resident band of Wilde Renate and Ficken3000 – Berlin’s most notorious nightclubs - SADO OPERA also play shows all across Europe, spreading their message of unrestrained, gender-fluid love. Naturally, there’s been a whole lot of attention from various corners of the press too, with interviews ranging from the BBC Music to Gay Times and Pink News exploring the band’s music and activism. One of the prevailing themes in the SADO OPERA philosophy is inclusivity, and the band talk passionately about queer visibility. For them, serious political action and serious fun can – and should co-exist. Their songs offer a mix of house, disco and electro-funk fused into a high energy live show experience.often with Matteo Perz, Mike Riviera, Potente, none of them here that night
