their own biography
the whole biography
Rakans, is a Dj, Artist, and a visionary. Orientalist, Experimental and eclectic approaches to Arts and Music make his Live Sets and sound choices unique and wild. Rakans is a DJ also the founder of Rawmantique party in Dresden, Rawmantique is a Safe Space that’s main aim is collecting the alternative underground kids and giving them a space for explorations whether they’re sexual, social or psychological. Rakans’s flamboyant decisions with Fashion and Music brought him to the center of attention from local and European collectives. Rakans performed on main floors of multiple reputable clubs such as Sektor (DD) Wilde Renate (BLN) Depot (Paris) KitKat (BLN) and multiple others. His work and background in Art Direction gives him a love to the Aesthetics, although has a touch of darkness, but rather full of life and imagination also- which is noticeable through his Art Works and productions. Rakans’s journey has started from Beirut, a City that’s moving like the tides, full of changes and instability. Between the Oriental Mosques and churches and the western Malls and Fashion brands he has previously experimented with avant-guard and pop music, performed in amazing clubs of Beirut such as “The Grand Factory”, participated in “ReddBull Music Academy”, released an EP under the name of LÜJAH, the album was written about in many publications and local news papers under the title of “The Unpredictable Hurricane: Rakans". His music often take on an emotional, and dramatic aspects, bringing love, sexuality, and tenderness as main topics into the techno sounds which not only make the crowd dance hard, but also go back to their first instincts of sexual desires and pleasures. https://soundcloud.com/rakans https://www.instagram.com/rakanscom/ Interview with L'orient-Le Jour: https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/958934/rakans-louragan-imprevisible.htmlTheir RA profile lists SYXT, Linea Records and Secta.Recently at MUENZE, Studio1111, RSO.BERLIN · often with VINVAR, Spacer Woman, CRYME, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Meg10 moves like someone who understands clubs as cultural pressure points and playgrounds for self-expression. Rooted in hip-hop and reggaeton, and sharpened by years inside Europe’s more uncompromising dance floors, the Berlin-based DJ has spent the last nine years shaping a sound that sits somewhere between politics and pleasure: bass-heavy, polyrhythmic, and unapologetically femme. Her path runs through rooms that carry real weight: Berghain, Tresor and Watergate in Berlin, Razzmatazz in Barcelona, Drugstore in Belgrade, Le Bain in New York, Axis Club in Chengdu. In 2025, she closed ADE with her club night Hoe__mies and appeared at defining parties including Riposte at Electrowerkz and HOWL Pride Fest in London, Pornceptual in Berlin, and En1gma in Madrid. Festival stages followed: WHOLE, Horst, Pukkelpop, Fusion, Wireless, and Sonder in Australia. Alongside this, her eye for image and style has led to ongoing relationships with houses like Bottega Veneta and Mugler, placing her at an easy intersection of nightlife and fashion without feeling ornamental to either. Her touring has steadily stretched outward. Two Australia tours, an Asia run across China, Hong Kong and Thailand, club dates in New York and Chicago, and most recently a first run through Latin America, with stops during Carnaval in Brazil, Buenos Aires, and a self-curated Hoe__mies party in Lima. Through Hoe__mies, she has also built a network of nights promoting shows across Tokyo, Melbourne, London, Glasgow, Paris, Lisbon, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Brussels, and connecting local scenes through collaboration, friendship and a shared sense of intent.Recently at Beach Neukölln, Renate, OXI · often with Mobilegirl, Bad Puppy, Saint Nia, none of them here that night

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 Jessica Nightlife, DJ AYA, 24 hours nonstop, none of them here that night
“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.”
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 Jessica Nightlife, DJ AYA, 24 hours nonstop, none of them here that night
