On October 9th we celebrate this milestone with a lineup of friends and legends coming together for a musical voyage through the past, present and future of Italian dance music. To make this birthday extra special, we have extended our invitation to a true Italo-Disco icon: Patrizia Pellegrino.
Patrizia is the voice behind the holy grail of cosmic disco records like ‘Automaticamore’ and ‘Musica Spaziale’. Her music has inspired and captivated a whole new generation of Italo lovers, becoming a true cult favorite along the way. For the very first time, she’s coming to Berlin!

Berlin based artists with Polish roots, Leona Jacewska (formerly known as Charlie) is a prodigy of contemporary synthwave, influenced by EBM, electro and early 80's italo. Her live acts key on hardware - including Cirklon Sequencer, Pearl Syncussion and OB6 - but they also make expert use of coldwave-reminiscent vocals.

With her extensive experience as a musician and curator, she has participated in multiple programs oriented at peer- to-peer exchange, mentorship and advocacy, including the Music Moves Europe- funded initiative Venues from the Future, Sonar+D, and Initiative Musik. She has issued two EPs, Cold Inside (Ferry Lane Records 2022) and Spacewoman (Wrong Era 2024) being remixed by David Vunk and italo legend Flemming Dalum. She presented her live acts at renowned festivals such as Unsound (PL), Transmusicales (FR), Fusion (DE) and Noche de Primavera (MX), Tauron (PL) and clubs like Berghain (DE), Tresor (DE) or Closer (UA).

Quietus Magazine Unsound Review: "Maximum dynamic that impacts the mind" KEYI Magazine: "Leona's record is a testament to her unique and impactful sound design, which is on full display in her thunderous progressions" DJ MAG: "... sees Leona continuing to refine her sultry, sci-fi-esque take on electro house, delivering warehouse-ready kicks alongside bold percussion and colourfully warped synth work" ELECTRICITY CLUB.CO.UK "This retro-futuristic EP showcases LEONA as a talented electronic producer of worth, with an ability to bring workable changes within her exhilarating melodies and patterns while retaining the necessary repetitious elements essential to good club friendly music."
