From the beating heart of electronic music, Berlin, Handmade embodies the essence of the late 90s club sound that ignited his passion for vinyl. Picture him, a devotee of Berlin's underground scene and you'll understand the roots of his sonic craftsmanship. Almost two decades behind the decks since 2005, DJ Handmade has mastered the art of building bridges between House and Techno. His sets are an immersive journey, seamlessly weaving through the electronic tapestry, blending the soulful rhythms of House with the hypnotic beats of Techno. Each track carefully chosen, each transition a work of sonic alchemy. Since 2009, Handmade has been a resident at the legendary Tresor Berlin. Bi-monthly, he takes the crowd on a captivating journey through the history of electronic music, infusing every beat with the essence of Berlin's spirit. A founding member of the Same Bitches Berlin family since its inception in 2014, Handmade's imprint on the collective is undeniable. In 2021 he released his first vinyl compilation with the collective. Handmade's sonic odyssey extends beyond Berlin, leaving an indelible mark on global dance floors. From the heart of Detroit's Tangent Gallery to Under Club Buenos Aires to K41 in Kyiv the vibrant nightlife, Handmade's beats resonate universally, transcending borders.Their RA profile lists Paso Music and SAME BITCHES.Recently at Golden Gate, Renate, Tresor / Globus · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Madalba, none of them here that night
“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 Haus der Visionäre, Renate, Berghain · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Daniel Bell, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Natalie Robinson is a Berlin-based DJ with a deep passion for house music and an instinctive ability to read the room. Her sets move between soulful, classic, garage, and underground house music with subtle tribal influences, creating flowing journeys that balance energy, rhythm, and atmosphere on the dance floor. Known for her carefully curated, hard-to-find records, Natalie brings musical depth and precision to every performance. Drawing from a broad range of underground dance music influences, her selections honor the foundations of house music while maintaining a contemporary feel. Her performances are immersive and intentional, shaped by musical storytelling and a close connection with the crowd. For Natalie, house music is more than a genre — it’s a shared language rooted in community, freedom, and collective experience. Each set invites movement, connection, and presence on the dance floor.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Fitzroy, Berghain · often with Katia Curie, TRESOR, GLOBUS, none of them here that night
