Sexy, fun, and unpredictable, his sound evolves constantly, blurring the line between DJ booth and studio, and creating an experience that keeps crowds moving and guessing what's coming next. Each set and production is sweaty, seductive, and charged with an unmistakable attitude. His approach pulls from countless influences without boundaries, weaving them into something raw, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. Since becoming a resident at Milan’s Vitamina party in 2018, 131bpm’s presence has only expanded. In August 2023, he released his debut album on Berlin’s Body Language — the namesake party where he’s also held a residency since 2022. The record, followed by a remix album featuring BASHKKA, Roza Terenzi, Kodemul, and more, cemented his reputation as an artist who thrives on turning intensity into a sensual euphoria.Their RA profile lists !K7, Correspondant, High Hoops, Vitamina Musica and 6 more.Recently at KREUZWERK, RSO.BERLIN, Fitzroy · often with ALP (DE), Dj handbag, CEM, none of them here that night

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 ÆDEN, KREUZWERK, Zur Klappe · often with DJ AYA, 24 hours nonstop, Posture, none of them here that night

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 KREUZWERK, arkaoda Berlin, OXI · often with ELAYN, BOYCA, Cristian Marras, none of them here that night

their own biography
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 ÆDEN, KitKatClub, Zur Klappe · often with DJ AYA, 24 hours nonstop, Vani Vachi, none of them here that night
