their own biography
the whole biography
A dedicated selector, he seamlessly blends rare cuts, overlooked gems, and fresh contemporary music into cohesive, emotionally driven sets. Known for his instinctive energy and a subtle sense of nostalgia, he crafts journeys that are eclectic yet cohesive, queer without cliché, and always sexy. Rooted in Berlin’s nightlife, Aaron co-founded Cuddles in 2024, a party and community space defined by hedonism, playfulness and genuine care. Hosting bi-monthly events, Cuddles has become a staple of the city’s queer underground, celebrated for its expressive freedom, collaborative spirit and distinctive visual identity shaped under Aaron’s creative direction. It’s a place where connection comes first, and dancers are invited into a world that is both tender and unhinged in all the right ways. Alongside Cuddles, Aaron holds a residency at Milan’s renowned queer party Vitamina, and has performed at Pornceptual, Gegen, Power Dance Club, SchwuZ, K4 and more. His mixes for platforms such as HÖR, Radiant Records and The Mudd Show showcase his ability to weave diverse sounds into cohesive, emotionally resonant narratives. Aaron channels the radical, inclusive energy of electronic music’s underground origins into today’s queer clubs. Through his DJing and Cuddles, he brings a fresh wind to the scene, creating spaces where music, queer joy, and community collide in ritualistic, transformative ways.Their RA profile lists Cuddles.Recently at KREUZWERK, Zur Klappe, ÆDEN · often with Posture, 131bpm, ALP (DE), none of them here that night

the whole biography
Born and raised in Queens, a city dweller and a club kid, Kilopatrah has an innate and superlative gift for transferring energy from the booth to the dance floor—through exciting house, techno, and jungle, and moments that both harken to Sound Factory–era glory days and bring you to sweaty BPMs of the future. Their sets are palpably personal: The dance floor has always been a powerful platform for expression for Kilo, once as a freeing and connecting space for a quiet house dancer and now as one for moving others like them. When Kilo gets going, you’ll lose sense of the kick drum versus the beat of your own body against the floor. That’s a gift from them to you, and your percussion is a gift back to them. Kilo brings their energetic sass to a monthly Lot Radio residency and to parties with impressive lineups, playing alongside Todd Terry home in New York, at the legendary Movement weekend Club Toilet in Detroit, and for Boiler Room. Their mixes, for series such as Coloring Lessons, Honcho, and Juanita’s, and for spots on Rinse and Refuge, also capture the club at its most euphoric. You’ll step a little harder with Kilopatrah Jones. Words by Sacha Madadianoften with Mike Servito, Dee Diggs, Annie Lew, none of them here that night

“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.Recently at MUENZE, RSO.BERLIN · often with Chippy Nonstop, VINVAR, Lacchesi, none of them here that night

the whole biography
As one-half of Cuddles, the queer collective, puppy is creating a community and love-driven delusional playground where like-minded divas embrace, indulge, heal and unite. Born from Eastern European grit and shaped by Berlin’s underground and a soft spot for the unconventional, puppy’s trying to constantly reinvent the norm. Their sound is and always will be somewhere in between. Moving through drum work, house vocals, rough techno kicks and breaks to bassy, syncopated contemporary experimental, they're always playing with texture and rhythm and disobeying the definitions of genres. From deep, hypnotic moments to fierce, percussive peaks, they challenge conventions and embrace the chaos that shaped them. They have brought their energy to collectives and parties such as Gegen, Vitamina, Fairies, Group Therapy and many others, and are most often found across institutions including Aeden, OXI, Fitzroy, KitKatClub, Jolene, and Schwuz. Underneath the sharp humor and punk sensibility lies a soft, loving core which powers the commitment to music, community, and unapologetic self-expression. Puppy is a combination of the queer, the rebellious and the nonconformist that truly believes in not following the crowd blindly and instead being your own, strange self. with love, pupTheir RA profile lists Cuddles.Recently at KitKatClub, Zur Klappe, ÆDEN · often with Vani Vachi, Yazzus, 131bpm, none of them here that night

Zeynep is a magnetic force of nature, a Berlin-based DJ who redefines the essence of musical freedom, bringing fierce energy to dancefloors as she translates the invisible into a tangible vibe. With a captivating ability to shapeshift genres and with a sound that is a luscious fusion of intoxicating rhythms and hypnotic beats, each set becomes an experience – a playground where time and space melt away, leaving only raw power and ecstatic movement. From underground raves to iconic club nights, her mix of sultry basslines, seductive percussion and ecstasy-inducing atmospheres creates seamless, immersive sets that draw dancers in and hold them under her spell. Her sound is smooth yet unruly, carefully curated but delightfully chaotic, which has evolved her into a dynamic storyteller. Her dancefloor sorcery is a journey of addictive bliss and just the right amount of unhinged, creating an undeniable connection to the primal, collective joy of the rave. Zeynep dares to push boundaries and conjure the unspoken, igniting spaces with a femme-forward intensity that resonates with those who crave liberation, pleasure and transcendence.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Bar Neun, OHM · often with Blu:sh, Matas, CAIVA, none of them here that night
