Launching to prominence out of Herrensauna's infamous underground parties, CEM has forged a singular path as an fierce club DJ unafraid of turning the dancefloor moody. CEM's unique brand of emotive hysteria was forged in Herrensauna's hedonistic Berlin furnace in the last few years, and as one of the party's three core members, he has been at the heart of the operations since its inception. With the party attracting more and more attention for its critical contribution to Berlin's queer community, as well as their raw italo-metal aesthetic, the opportunity came to move into Tresor, where it has cemented its place as a unique addition to Berlin's nocturnal topography. CEM's role in all this is twofold—firstly, as curator of the party's unique mix of frenetic DJs and industrial-edged live performances; and secondly, as one of the resident DJs. The sheer pace of Herrensauna's preferred grade of techno is offset by his enigmatic presence and selection. It's a crucial edge of the party, and it's rightfully brought CEM to the world's attention. With a preference for UK-tweaked tracks from across the contemporary milieu of harder club works, nor with a fear of breakbeats or sullen moments, he's a rare species of DJ that seeds intensity in even the most hesitant of movers. And with a background in queer club culture going back a decade to his hometown of Vienna—side-by-side with a punk upbringing—CEM's well versed in the essential metrics of unrelenting after dark commotion.Last at Else in Aug · often with MCMLXXXV, DJ TOOL, Juliana Huxtable, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Hailing from Pula, based in Berlin. Adopting curiosity as tool since the early zeroes‘ fully encapsulated by her father‘s unwavering interest for finding out new artists. Laying foundation to her approach to playing. Later, immersed in a local club scene that was heavily shaped by festivals running on the coast, shining light on the crevices of the diy pull, comfortably sitting at the periphery, deeply intertwined with a broader cultural shift. Recently caught playing at Berlin‘s Arkaoda, Fitzroy, 90mil, Lark, Torte, Möbel Olfe, Tisno‘s Love International 2025 or beloved Bottoms party series in Ljubljana, Slovenia. co-founded MNJM with Elayn and Milad Samara, label dedicated to independent sound excavation, as well as the balkan diaspora collective Merak.Last at Fitzroy in Aug · often with ELAYN, Souci, A Homsi, none of them here that night

Her creative practice is centered around exploring different methods of working with artistic research including interview material, field recordings and recorded material from an organized site specific intervention. The research is then translated into sound/music compositions, performances, interactive installations and moving image work. In 2014, Nour achieved an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from the American University in Dubai, and in 2017 she culminated a large scale project; a documentary entitled ‘People on Sound’, as part of her Master’s degree in Sound for the Moving Image at the Glasgow School of Art in the UK. In 2019, Nour received the Emerging Artist Prize at the Sursock Museum in Lebanon, for a moving image piece entitled ‘Revisiting: Hold Your Breath’.
