their own biography
the whole biography
DJ Westfa is a Black queer DJ and cultural curator whose deep, soulful sets have become a staple in Berlin and Amsterdam’s night life. With roots in Suriname, Westfa channels a spiritual connection to music, weaving house, tribal rhythms, percussion, and deeper journeys into performances that are as emotionally resonant as they are rhythmically compelling. Over a decade ago, Westfa founded Our Society in Amsterdam—a community-driven event series that evolved into a platform for soulful gatherings and cultural exchange. Through Our Society, he has booked legendary artists like Theo Parrish, Moodymann, and Robert Owens, while also spotlighting emerging talent. The project has since expanded into fundraisers, panels and Our Society Radio on Refuge Worldwide, where Westfa hosts intimate conversations with guests about mental health, creativity, and personal growth, all soundtracked by music that has shaped their lives. As a resident DJ at Refuge Worldwide and a frequent performer at venues in Amsterdam and Berlin, Westfa brings a deeply personal energy to the booth. Known for his emotionally charged and rhythmically sets, Westfa has brought his sound to some of Europe’s most respected dance floors, including Badaboum, RAUM, Tresor, OHM, Shelter, Resident Advisor, Melt Festival and Is Burning - to name a few. His sets are more than just mixing tracks—they are acts of cultural storytelling and healing. Through rhythm, soul, and love, DJ Westfa continues to honor and elevate the Black queer roots of dance music while building inclusive spaces for future generations.Recently at OHM, Studio1111, Tresor / Globus · often with GLOBUS, TRESOR, Skee Mask, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Jaxx TMS moves through music with a deep-rooted understanding of rhythm, history and emotion. A Berlin-based DJ, broadcaster and curator, she exists at the intersection of dancefloor energy and sonic storytelling. In the club, Jaxx is drawn to the raw essence of House, Acid, and Deep House – blending deep grooves, rolling basslines and crisp percussions with the soulful energy of the 90s and the forward-thinking textures of today. Her sets carry the grit and euphoria of underground dance music, blending uplifting frequencies with influences from UK and US club culture. Each set is a carefully sculpted journey – designed for movement, release, and connection. Beyond the club, Jaxx’s musical spirit takes on a different form. As the founder of Inner City Expressions a project that seamlessly bridges music, culture and art and host of Expressions on Refuge Worldwide, she creates spaces dedicated to deep, intentional listening. Her selections flow through warm Jazz harmonies, weighty Dub basslines, ethereal Ambient textures and the rich storytelling of Soul and Breakbeat. Guided by her Caribbean, British and Spanish heritage, she designs experiences that are both intimate and transportive, where listeners are invited to sink into the layers of sound. Whether behind the booth or shaping immersive listening explorations, Jaxx TMS moves fluidly between worlds – honoring both the pulse of the club and the introspection of deep listening, always with an ear for the unexpected. Jaxx musical range allowed her to play at iconic venues such as The Jazz Cafe, Jumbi, Berghain,Tresor, OHM, Sacre and more.Recently at Tresor / Globus, Rosegarden, Zalando Experience Hub · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Nat Wendell, none of them here that night
