    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Alírio started her career as a DJ in 2019 in Uberlândia, a small town in Minas Gerais - Brazil. Head behind the BAILE034 collective, she produced parties, balls and other cultural activities, promoting ballroom culture, which was rising at the time in Brazil. In 2021, she moved to São Paulo and since then has been conquering dance floors across the country. With ability to create narratives through DJ sets always full of energy, she goes through different musical genres, exploring femininity through sensual and complex beats. Her musical research highlights sounds produced by dissident artists, mainly from Latin America. In 2022, Alírio unpretentiously began the production of mashups and bootlegs, some of them became club anthems, such as the first collaboration with Guza in Unique Tribal, earning the duo an invitation to participate in the remix album of the brazilian band Noporn (Adoro Djs), celebrating 20 years of career and other collections from national and international labels such as Choccy Biccy (UK), Volquete (AR), AUX1 (ES) and TTT (BR). In 2024, the multidisciplinary label Tandera Records was born in partnership with the artists Bassan, Guza, Lady Letal and Tuxe, a platform to release music, mixes (with monthly episodes on the brazilian radio function.fm) and production of visual art. Alírio is resident of the brazilian underground parties Mamba Negra (SP), Versa (SP), Buero (SP) and already performed at prominent parties and clubs such as Baile em Chernobyl (SP/Berlin), Deseo (AR), Kode (RJ), NBOMB (PE), Silicose (MG) and Atrita (CE). This year she will make her debut in Europe at the Mamba Negra's showcase at the Whole festival (Germany) along with Cashu in August.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Byron Yeates is a Berlin-based DJ and producer, founder of the party-turned record label Radiant Records, co-founder of La Noche, and a resident at Adonis in London, as well as Power Dance Club and Refuge Worldwide in Berlin. He has served his signature sound at Panorama Bar, Fold, Bassiani, Nowadays, Club Raum, TAG and beyond. Yeates’ sets are inflected with an attitude that can at once be incredibly playful and theatrically sincere; a duality that animates the queer lineage of electronic dance music in which Yeates places himself. Since November 2019, Yeates’ label Radiant Records has released an array of EPs by artists both local and abroad. The catalogue is filled with floor-ready cuts that also reward close listening—the RR sound is rich with unexpected timbres and textures, clever melodic lines, and rhythms pivoting far off the 4/4.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    She started working for the development of club culture in her native Venezuela since an early age. There, she co-founded SOLO, the first club dedicated exclusively to electronic music in her hometown. Now she continues that labor in Berlin with not one but two vital community-focused club nights. Her first called Mess, Mindful Electronic Sonic Selections, a forward thinking club night happening at OHM which have a focus on femme and queer artist from diverse cultural backgrounds, and it's dedicated to the celebration of diversity and supporting DIY club culture around the world. Her newest Mala Junta, which she co-founded along with Dj Tool and that counts with D.dan, Yazzus and Why Be as residents, is considered one of Berlin’s fiercest underground queer-techno parties, with a focus on inclusivity, Mala Junta approaches the faster, groovier edges of dance music with an open mind and a relentless spirit. Hyperaktivist have directly influenced a shift in the scene in Berlin, not only through introducing her Tribal euphoric fresh sounds, with great influence in her roots from Latin America and the Caribbean coast where she grew up, but also by constantly nurturing and pushing up her community and advocating political values of equality & diversity at the forefront of her projects. Since being selected as one of the Shape Platform for innovative music artists in 2016, she has been touring around the world.

  • THC

    Bogotá, Colombia · 16 bookings since Aug 2025

    “THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    THC’s sets are kinetic, propulsive in this way. High-energy without a loss of soul, hard-hitting and still very playful and very gay. We are reminded that techno need not be a gloomy, rumbling march, and that house has a whole range of attitudes at the same time ruthless and smiling. She blazes, to put it simply. ​Having heated Berlin dancefloors and airwaves for a few years, THC is one of the founders and resident at La Noche. She has her own show HOT BOX on Rinse FM, and has released mixes via Crack Magazine, DJ Mag, Fact Mag and NTS. The last year has also seen her playing alongside her sibling DHC as the duo unit S-candalo. Regardless of format, there are always those THC-signatures: punch; euphoria; and streaks of vocal samples intoning the classic dancefloor theme of unity, be it political, sexual, spiritual or some sweaty mixture of it all.

  • Nene H

    Berlin · 11 bookings since Aug 2025

    “Nene H is an artist in constant motion.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Nene H is an artist in constant motion. Shaped by her Turkish-Azerbaijani heritage, a conservatory education in classical piano, and an enduring infatuation with the emotional complexity of sound, her music is an evolving force tethered to both instinct and precision. Whether in the club or on stage, Nene H’s output unravels, reforms, and leaves a mark that’s hard to name but impossible to forget. After a period of intense self-inquiry, 2025 signals a sharp pivot for Nene H. A chapter defined by a hyper-focussed refining of sound, while retaining her signature elasticity. Her newest work doesn’t simplify; it distills, honing the emotional and rhythmic tensions that have always driven her sound. On stage, that focus splinters into immersive, shape-shifting performances. From her monumental 8-hour live improvisation at STOOR to her choral collaborations for CTM with The National Choir of Georgia, and Dekmantel with the Dutch Opera, Nene H continues to push the limits of form, without losing sight of feeling. Rooted in Berlin for over a decade, she has become a vital presence in the city’s queer underground not only as an artist, but as a cultural amplifier, championing SWANA, Muslim, and femme perspectives in spaces where they’ve long been overlooked. As a producer, her catalog spans labels such as Standard Deviation, Intrepid Skin, Live from Earth, and Incienso, the latter releasing her starkly intimate debut album Ali علي. Her forthcoming second album, Second Skin, deepens her commitment to radical vulnerability: a sonic reckoning with identity, grief, and selfhood, written in the midst of six months of personal and emotional upheaval.
    Their RA profile lists Bedouin Records, Incienso, Intrepid Skin, Live From Earth and 3 more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    After intentionally spending years on the fringes of experimental dance music, 2015 saw Lee embracing the conventional release format for the very first time, accordingly establishing himself as a formidable emergent voice in dance music’s larger conversation. The resulting Snipestreet EP on Rabit’s Halcyon Veil label notably found the artist exercising a newfound mastery over original productions, in lieu of his usual, unruly approach to bootlegs and edits. Upon release it garnered widespread critical acclaim, with tracks and videos from it being premiered on DIS Magazine, a full-length interview appearing on The FADER, and Heroin Hat making it to FACT Magazine’s best club tracks of the year list. Since his debut, he's also collaborated with the likes of Rabit, Chino Amobi and Lexxi as well as released music on his own label Yegorka. Lee’s sound both on record and behind the CD-Rs defies easy compartmentalization: if anything, it is defined by its visceral uncategorizability. He’s as likely to draw on ballroom and rap as instrumental grime, but it’s Lee’s radically singular approach to putting it all together that makes him so exciting. Even if the ingredients are familiar, the end product never is: his hectic, cathartic, and uncompromising style of club music ultimately stands completely in its own lane.
