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 Zur Klappe, ÆDEN, KREUZWERK · often with puppy, Jessica Nightlife, DJ AYA, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
When Carly Zeng DJs, it’s highly unlikely she’ll do the same thing twice. Chinese-born and now Berlin-based, she has formed quite the community in her chosen city through her party, Dissident, which fosters a nurturing approach to music discovery. Her long love affair with vinyl-focused digging is no secret. And the ripple effects of such veracious collecting can be heard in the way she weaves together the many genres that she likes–be it a trippy tribal or prog track with a weird structure or an off-kilter sound effect in a punchy house tune – she’s forever on the lookout for tracks with that little extra spice. Carly’s entry point into dance music in NYC, led her into smaller parties, DIY spaces and warehouse raves and the community spirit she found there is something she still carries with her today. A known name within Berlin’s queer music scene, she is regularly billed at parties such as Cocktail D’Amore and Body Language. Whether as a DJ, community organizer or dancer on the floor, Carly is staunchly attentive to her role within the dance music ecosystem and how to best curate a warming experience for everyone involved.

“Oldyungmayn’s identity moves through his work as a current - refracted through rhythm, bass pressure, and affective tone.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Oldyungmayn’s identity moves through his work as a current - refracted through rhythm, bass pressure, and affective tone. As a Palestinian-Egyptian DJ and producer, now based in Berlin, he emerged from Dubai’s self-built underground - a place where creative spaces were scarce and dancefloors had to be invented from nothing. Out of this absence, he forged a sound both tactile and elusive: bass-heavy, rhythmically volatile, and charged with emotional dissonance. His DJ sets are kinetic and unpredictable, (un)folding techno’s gravity into percussive experiments, sudden ruptures, and euphoric flashes. He navigates tension and release with precision, channeling energy that feels both intimate and communal, inviting physicality and connection. “Heady, frenetic dynamism rooted in textural depth, combining harsh sonics with heavy club euphoria” is heard in Crack Mix 544 whilst BUTT Mixtape - Insane Gay Asylum Mix brings out his “handsome mixing (on) this bassy, freak-forward techno set.” In productions, Oldyungmayn draws from a wide vocabulary: the serrated textures of industrial metal, the compressed drama of video game sound design, the rhythmic codes of diasporic bass music. These influences collide into something that feels at once personal and speculative - a soundworld where dislocation becomes propulsion. With recent releases on UMAY and Magdalena’s Apathy he continues to explore new terrains of rhythm, texture, and movement. An alumni of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music, Oldyungmayn continues to expand the edges of his sound. He’s appeared at spaces like CTM, Herrensauna, Säule, FIBER, Whole and Unsound’s Ephemera, transmitting his singular hybrid of density, joy, and controlled chaos. Currently developing his debut album and new collaborative projects, he remains committed to the same principles that started it all - a DIY ethos and insatiable curiosity.Their RA profile lists ParkingStone, UMAY and Magdalena's Apathy.Recently at Blue Velvet, Else · often with ELAYN, BOYCA, Cristian Marras, none of them here that night

Founder and resident DJ of Power Dance Club in Athens and Berlin, Stathis has been a driving force in Europe’s queer underground for over a decade. Known for his eclectic, leftfield selections that blend electronic dance music with a fearless sense of play, he’s shaped dance floors from warehouse raves to major festivals. As the visionary behind the now-legendary DISCOSÓDOMA in London, Stathis helped redefine queer club culture in the UK before moving on to new creative chapters. His sets have lit up iconic venues like Berghain/Panorama Bar and Glastonbury’s Block9, where his bold sonic storytelling continues to leave a lasting imprint.Recently at KREUZWERK, Berghain, RSO.BERLIN · often with Byron Yeates, Majdolen, Maria Politi, none of them here that night
