the whole biography
Born and raised in France, CHERIII’s electrifying journey into the world of music kicked off in Lyon, where he began digging deep into the underground scene. After globe-trotting from Madrid to Montreal and landing in London, CHERIII dropped a bomb in 2014 with HOMODROP at the iconic Dalston Superstore. This queer club night quickly became one of the city’s most celebrated parties, cementing CHERIII’s reputation as a trailblazer in the queer underground scene. For the past five years, CHERIII has been a force to be reckoned with on Berlin’s underground scene, leaving his mark on renowned clubs and events across Europe, including Le Sucre (Lyon), Sala Apolo (Barcelona), Gegen (Berlin), Buttons (Berlin), Bassiani (Tbilisi), Blitz (Munich) and the legendary Berghain/Panorama Bar (Berlin). His recent HOMODROP takeover of Panorama Bar transformed the space into a dazzling queer haven, earning rave reviews and solidifying its reputation as one of Berlin’s most exciting parties. Beyond the decks, CHERIII has been making waves as a producer, with his standout track “Be Glamorous” gained widespread acclaim for its infectious energy and undeniable groove. From intimate queer spaces to Europe’s most prestigious clubs, CHERIII’s sets are a celebration of joy, freedom, and the power of music. With every performance, he proves why he’s one of the most exciting DJs and curators on the scene today.Their RA profile lists Homodrop, KlubKid Records and Creatures of the Night.Recently at Hoppetosse, arkaoda Berlin, Renate · often with Posture, GLOBUS, TRESOR, none of them here that night

Rooted in the spirit of freedom and collective euphoria that defined the first wave of raves, her sets reinterpret that energy for a new era, weaving it into immersive, high-voltage journeys that blur the line between nostalgia and innovation. She forms the duo An toi with Manaha, a creative partnership that blossomed within a highly-selective Tokyo’s underground scene. Through their party series TOGENKYO, they hosted acclaimed artists such as Soichi Terada, Tornado Wallace and Thomass Jackson bringing together a community united by rhythm, emotion, and open-minded exploration. Ever since relocating to London and later Berlin, Hitomi has continued to channel that same spirit of cross-cultural energy and forward-thinking soul, guiding dancers through soundscapes where memory, technology, and spirit converge in ecstatic unity.Last at Orangerie Neukölln in Mar · often with João Comazzi, Denzel, Telephones, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
John Loveless is a DJ, radio host, writer and producer, whose unusual trip through alternative culture is defined by passion and perpetual motion. A lifelong immersion in music has helped define Loveless not only as a respected, instinctive club DJ, but a constant conduit for the creativity of others in the scene. Originally from the North West of England, Loveless’s long weekend in Berlin has since lasted a decade, where he maintains a unique position. As well as his own Hot Concept imprint and party series, Loveless is known for his creative work alongside Erol Alkan and Palms Trax on the labels Phantasy and CWPT, introducing diverse talent to record shelves, refining an instinct for music of rare character. This open-minded philosophy has also defined Loveless’s approach to radio, as heard across two long-running residencies in Berlin. His monthly ‘Display Resolution’ show has broadcast on Cashmere Radio since 2017, and will conclude in 2025 after one-hundred episodes, each blending house, techno, disco, dub, indie and experimental music with unfiltered curiosity. Since 2020, Loveless has been a fixture on Refuge Worldwide, the community-focused station where he has also established an occasional, anecdote-heavy residency with Palms Trax, and curated several takeovers. In unison with fellow Brit-turned-Berlin Gramrcy, the pair enjoy a lockdown-born studio partnership, one that has expanded beyond remixes for Discovery Zone, W.H. Lung and Real Lies, to a lightning bolt of an original production in ‘Highdive’. Released on Phantasy Sound in 2022, the track memorably anchored sets by DJs from 2ManyDjs and Peggy Gou, before soundtracking catwalks for Moschino and Hugo Boss. After a long search for suitably ludicrous sounds, further experiments are set to rattle bass bins soon. Having extensively contributed as a writer to The Guardian, CRACK and Bandcamp Daily as John Thorp, Loveless was responsible for both the introduction and a number of essays for ‘Techno is Boring’, a book of photography from Daniel Avery and Keffer. Humorous and introspective, earning compliments from Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh, the book was introduced by a European tour, including a transcendent back-to-back with Avery at Berlin’s ambient-oriented kwia, and an alternately thunderous appearance at FVTVR in Paris. Loveless has passed at various tempos through iconic nightlife institutions such as The White Hotel, Ohm, The Warehouse Project and Hang Dai. At Alkan’s request, his versatile ear broke down eras on 2020’s ‘A Psychedelic Sensibility’, a compilation blending highlights and obscurities from the history of Phantasy Sound, which was awarded Compilation of The Month by Groove Magazine. A sequel, ‘A Psychedelic Sensibility II: The Remixes’, followed in 2023. Following two compilations raising funds for charities Doctors Without Borders and Habibi.Works, Hot Concept continues to introduce like-minded underground talents like Teplice, Yr Lovely Dead Moon and Beigean, pairing their productions with boundary-free remixes from esoteric artists such as Peder Mannerfelt and aya.Their RA profile lists Phantasy Sound, CWPT and Hot Concept.Recently at arkaoda Berlin, Bar Neun · often with RED, Frinda di Lanco, BLACK, none of them here that night
