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 Tresor / Globus, Renate, Else · often with TRESOR, GLOBUS, Madalba, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Kingsizebed (aka ioio) has been moving between house, acid, electroclash and techno since the late ’90s, with a sound that is always groove-driven and sexy. Based in Milan and originally from Verona, his journey began in the live electroclash scene and later evolved into a broader, dancefloor-focused language shaped by rhythm, tension and release. Resident DJ and longtime host of Vitamina and Solida, two Milan-based queer parties he has been running for years around safer spaces, connection, he has helped shape spaces that are now key reference points in the Italian queer nightlife landscape. Vitamina, active since 2016, merges music with art, installations and performances, often in open-air settings where daytime dancing becomes a collective reset. Its visual identity is curated by Gabriele Papi, whose site-specific installations transform each edition into a new world. Solida, active since 2019, brings a more direct techno-house attitude while keeping the same community-first approach: consistent, welcoming and barrier-free. In 2020, Vitamina expanded into Vitamina Musica record label. Kingsizebed has performed at queer festivals, parties and clubs including Whole Festival, Tresor, KitKat, OXI, Renate, Gegen, Members, Cuddles and Power Dance Club in Berlin, as well as PorDetroit in Mexico City — always with the intention of building dancefloors where people can feel free, held and connected.Their RA profile lists Vitamina Musica.Recently at KREUZWERK · often with Aaron Blau, Maara, ADAM MUNNINGS, none of them here that night
