the whole biography
Her artistic journey is a hypnotic dance, where vinyl-only sets have become her signature groove. With relentless passion, she pushes the boundaries, fusing the nostalgia of the '90s with daring, modern soundscapes. In Shaleen's world, the pursuit of perfection is a constant beat. Her relentless quest for sonic mastery has led her to the analog realm, where she's fallen head over heels. A modular system now pulses at the core of her creative arsenal, forging the path towards electrifying live performances. Her global conquest is well underway, with iconic venues like Tresor Berlin, the enigmatic Säule at Berghain, and the pulsating E1 London bearing witness to her magnetic sets. She's graced stages from Link Bologna to Radion Amsterdam, leaving audiences electrified and craving more. As a resident of the transcendent "We Are Not Alone" events, Shaleen regularly casts her spell over Revier Südost Berlin. Her residency with Seelen. Records finds her a frequent guest at the revered Institut für Zukunft and the legendary Distillery Leipzig, solidifying her status as a techno shaman of the highest order. In 2020, she unveiled her debut EP in the heart of this techno tapestry, soon followed by releases on the trailblazing Turkish label Primus, known for its unwavering support of women's rights, and the pulsating streets of New York's Whirlwindtraxx. Shaleen's beats have even rallied for important causes, contributing tracks to Deestricted's fundraising compilation for Save Life in Ukraine and the latest "We Are Not Alone" compilation. But Shaleen's journey transcends the decks and studio. Her event series SURD stands as the vanguard of the first feminine/queer movement in West Germany's Ruhr-Area, an indomitable force since its inception in 2016 and still reverberating with defiant energy. And that's not all - Shaleen's audacious spirit knows no bounds. She's at the forefront of launching an interdisciplinary label project rooted in political activism, amplifying crucial causes and spreading awareness with every sonic wave. To her, techno isn't just music; it's a pilgrimage to the roots, a homage to its origins that must never be forgotten.Their RA profile lists SEELEN., Whirlwind Trax, Deestricted and Sektor Evolution \\ Revolution.Recently at Tresor / Globus, ://about blank, Latitude Record Store · often with GLOBUS, TRESOR, Xiorro, none of them here that night

In 2025, she released the hazy, acid-infused EP I Wanna Feel You on Australian label Animals Dancing. Later that year, she released her debut LP In Dream on Dutch label Music From Memory, a lush, intimate soundscape of digital synths, acid bass, and whisper-soft vocals.

As a DJ, Bailey has performed at renowned venues including Panorama Bar in Berlin, Womb in Tokyo, Klymax in Bali, Love International in Croatia, and Fuji Rock Festival, with regular appearances across Europe and Asia.Their RA profile lists Animals Dancing, Hole and Holland and Second Circle.Recently at OHM, Sameheads, Studio1111 · often with Tornado Wallace, Sound Metaphors Djs, David Fogarty, none of them here that night

eoin dj, based in Berlin via stints in London, Glasgow and Dublin but hailing from the west of Ireland has been quietly djing, running parties and making music for a hot minute. Their own dancefloor productions have slowly emerged into the ether via smaller outings on various releases, most notably their collaborations with Byron Yeates and their contributions to the iconic Radiant Records IWD compilations. 2023 saw the release of Fantasi, eoin dj’s debut EP on the infamous Planet Euphorique, swiftly followed by their Total Body EP at the beginning of 2024, fittingly housed on Radiant Records. The releases have thus far turned heads and hips alike. The eoin dj rave experience draws from all hues of the dance music spectrum- sensual house jams, psychedelic techno, rolling progressive whatevers and understated breaks numbers are all up in the mix alongside dreamy ukg, pumping acid, sub heavy dub freak outs and all the cuts in between. Their selections are underscored by emotive, colourful, moods resulting in emotive, colourful moments on the dancefloor. Currently holding down residencies at Club Are and Joyride in London (the latter running bi-monthly at Corsica Studios), over the course of the past year eoin dj has played at Berlin institutions like La Noche, Dissident, Fandango and Hypersoft, along with outings further afield at Left Bank in Tbilisi, Macadam in Nantes, Hors Sol in Paris, Radion in Amsterdam and numerous appearances at London’s notorious venue MOT. 2024 will see a third release enter the cosmos and lots of exciting dates around europe and the uk lined up to boot.

“Soon after moving to Berlin in 2015, she came upon a passion for collecting records – starting with hip-hop, funk, soul, jazz and boogie.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Soon after moving to Berlin in 2015, she came upon a passion for collecting records – starting with hip-hop, funk, soul, jazz and boogie. At a certain point, she began to receive some invitations to play her collection out at bars, which was around the same time she began going out to dance in the city’s clubs – her wider investigation of electronic dance music soon followed. So one could say Stella’s DJ practice began with collecting, then gained dimension as a selector and dancer, and this is audible in her sound – she plays sets that stoke a warmth in the body and keep it lit, sequences of deep-dug cuts that are mixed with a tactile intuition and trust in the track that only a vinyl DJ could have. Over the years, Stella has become a signature member of Berlin’s club community, enacting an old-school ethic of the DJ as a community-driven role. Today she is well-known for her wide knowledge of classic, groove-driven house and disco, as well as deep dubs and acid, but her rise as a DJ came hand-in-hand with booking and curating. After a number of years organising parties at the DIY venue Kake Stella founded Body Language with Camilla Rae and Caitlin Russell in 2021. Gaining a committed crowd over the last years, Body Language has hosted a vibrant array of international and local DJs. Rather than needing to brand the party with markers of identity, Stella emphasises the core ethic of the party being its openness – the function encourages a range of sounds and styles (one can hear everything from clever, groovy house and techno to classic Chicago cuts to RnB-laced high-NRG in recorded sets on SoundCloud) and so welcomes a heterogenous crowd. In this way, Body Language is part of a shift into a new line of queer parties in Berlin – “queer” precisely because diversity runs through its bookings, its sound systems, its dancefloors, and isn’t just a catchword printed on a statement. Although Stella’s original plans to become a singer were quickly overtaken by the drive to play out her record collection, 2022 saw the release of Détends-Toi and the formation of Stella and the Longos, a band and collaborative project with DJ and musician Ed Longo. Released on Cosmic Records, the album is a sensual tribute to 80s Zouk and Boogie, with Stella’s silky, sultry vocals taking the fore. Much like her DJ-practice, the project pays loving homage to sounds of the past while spinning them into the present, never simply lapsing into nostalgia. The 6-piece band has toured extensively over the last years, which has provided a counterpoint to Stella’s increasingly international DJ gigs – some notable bookings include Nowadays, De School, Gay Haze and a stint of sets in China last year. Closer to home, she has been a resident at Cocktail D’Amore since its heyday years at Griessmühle and played at Panorama Bar for the first residency night programmed by Refuge Worldwide, where she also hosts the Breakfast Show once a month. On the airwaves, in Berlin or abroad, a DJ-set or studio recording or upcoming edition of Body Language – whatever it may be, make sure to catch the singular warmth and deeply cultivated love of music Stella brings to the table. There’s nothing quite like it.Their RA profile lists Cosmic Romance.Recently at Berghain, Hoppetosse, KREUZWERK · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Daniel Bell, none of them here that night

“Niklas Wandt is a percussionist, producer, DJ and radio host .”
their own biography
the whole biography
Niklas Wandt is a percussionist, producer, DJ and radio host . He lives in Berlin, where his eclectic approach is heard most regularly basement club Sameheads - a lush sonic palette with a hypnotic, heavily percussive drive, from tripped out downtempo and afrofunky cosmic sound (think Rimini 1995) to driving progressive and tribal house, trance, warped techno and warming tech house – high energy in smooth, long blends. The impeccable rhythmic feel is a reflection of Niklas’ musical roots in the world of drums - he has cut his teeth playing in hiphop, psychedelic rock and free jazz projects and has been part of a number of projects centered around Salon des Amateurs in Düsseldorf. A wide, open minded range of practices that still feed into his music today - at Salon he forged his musical bond to producer Jan Schulte aka Wolf Müller aka Bufiman. The pair released the acclaimed double LP "Instrumentalmusik von der Mitte der World" in 2018 via Growing Bin Records, whose blissful neo-Balearic sound still makes an impact today. Niklas can be also heard as part of the band Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge (with records on the labels Themes for Great Cities, Bureau B and Lustpoderosa that became underground favorites) and in a duo with veteran producer Sascha Funke (two discs on Multi Culti, a third one on R.A.N.D. Muzik), plus on a string of releases for imprints such as Bureau B, Permanent Vacation, Animals Dancing, Neubau, Warning and Edizioni Mondo/Running Back. His various projects have taken him all across Europe (appearing at festivals like Nuits Sonores, Fusion, Garbicz, Unsound, Dancity), to China, Israel & Palestine, the US, Chile, Peru and Mexico. February 2025 will see the release of “Mineral House Vol. 1”, Niklas’ first collaborative EP with Amsterdam-based producer Retromigration, via the revered Berlin imprint Love on the Rocks. A music journalist, critic and presenter by day, his features, portraits and reviews mostly on jazz and its many branches can be heard regularly on German public radio stations WDR 3, Deutschlandfunk and SWR Kultur.Their RA profile lists Italic, Permanent Vacation, Running Back, Multi Culti and 6 more.Recently at OXI, Sameheads, arkaoda Berlin · often with Rena Volvo, Marco Ohboy, Miss Take, none of them here that night
