- “⇾ Dress code: Costumes (strongly) encouraged”
We consulted the cards, checked the crystals, asked our psychic and read the horoscope. The message is clear, scary, and honestly, a little horny.
On 31.10.26, at the peak of Scorpio season, Cuddles is back, and something tells us you should probably start worrying about your costume. If you’re going to spend Halloween with us, you might as well make an entrance.
Will you be a demon? An angel?
A creature of the night?
A witch? A bitch?
Your toxic ex?
Wait… is there even a difference?
Or simply the hottest version of yourself that only appears after midnight?
Come in costume. Come in character. Bring the drama.
We’ll bring the sound and the space.

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, Renate, Maaya · often with 24 hours nonstop, Posture, 131bpm, none of them here on Saturday

French-born Jen Cardini (they/them) has been welcoming people into the discotheque for the last 30 years. Their belief that something more was hidden under the surface of electronic music has put them at the helm of tiny sweaty lesbian bars, flamboyant Ibiza superclubs, and off-the-beaten-path warehouse raves. Through their work as an A&R for the labels Correspondant and DISCH, their remixes and productions helped rephrase the world's understanding of the French dance music scene. They continue playing festivals such as Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Field Day, Sonar, Butik Festival, Mutek, and more. Cardini is also a regular at some of the best clubs in the world, such as Berghain, Outra Cena, Bassiani, Basement, K41 or Club Raum. They have also been able to perform at iconic art venues like MoMA PS1 and the Centre Pompidou. Jen has also launched their own party series, Nightclubbing, a platform for queer underground artists focused on transmission, and is now the artistic director of the Nightclubbing Festival in Paris, taking place in September 2026.Their RA profile lists Crosstown Rebels, Dirt Crew Recordings, Kill The DJ, indigo:inc and 6 more.Recently at RSO.BERLIN, Schönwalde-Glien, Grünefeld bei Berlin, Germany, KREUZWERK · often with Byron Yeates, Carly Zeng, JASSS, none of them here on Saturday

the whole biography
Kingsizebed (aka ioio) has been moving between house, acid, electroclash and techno since the late ’90s, with a sound that is always groove-driven and sexy. Based in Milan and originally from Verona, his journey began in the live electroclash scene and later evolved into a broader, dancefloor-focused language shaped by rhythm, tension and release. Resident DJ and longtime host of Vitamina and Solida, two Milan-based queer parties he has been running for years around safer spaces, connection, he has helped shape spaces that are now key reference points in the Italian queer nightlife landscape. Vitamina, active since 2016, merges music with art, installations and performances, often in open-air settings where daytime dancing becomes a collective reset. Its visual identity is curated by Gabriele Papi, whose site-specific installations transform each edition into a new world. Solida, active since 2019, brings a more direct techno-house attitude while keeping the same community-first approach: consistent, welcoming and barrier-free. In 2020, Vitamina expanded into Vitamina Musica record label. Kingsizebed has performed at queer festivals, parties and clubs including Whole Festival, Tresor, KitKat, OXI, Renate, Gegen, Members, Cuddles and Power Dance Club in Berlin, as well as PorDetroit in Mexico City — always with the intention of building dancefloors where people can feel free, held and connected.Their RA profile lists Vitamina Musica.Recently at Renate, KREUZWERK · often with Samuel Fish, Samwise (US), Shira Kela, none of them here on Saturday

“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.”

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, Tresor / Globus, Renate · often with 24 hours nonstop, Vani Vachi, Yazzus, none of them here on Saturday
