their own biography
the whole biography
They define themselves as a House DJ, understanding the genre as something dynamic and fluid. Their sound mixes old-school and new-school from 120bpm up to 140bpm, constantly trying to capture the heartbeat of the dancefloor. You will dance to a range from jackin' techno to Underground House, from the deepest to the most uplifting beats, always in search of the groove and dance. They understand the DJ Booth/Dancefloor relationship as elements that communicate and travel together, both part of the same thing. Nobody is more than anybody on the dancefloor. Through their DJ sets they fight in order to create a dancefloor that deserves to be danced, giving visibility and voice to the FLINTA&POC community. Through and with their collective OTTF they have connected with other collectives always seeking alliances & collective awareness in the queer/rave nightclub scene.Their RA profile lists Others To The Front.Recently at Kater, Marmorbar, Bulbul Berlin · often with Fluffi, Robin Flux, Sky Deep, none of them here that night
“Born in Brescia, a town between Milan and Venice, Matteo Gamba did not grow up in a music-oriented family.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Born in Brescia, a town between Milan and Venice, Matteo Gamba did not grow up in a music-oriented family. Nevertheless, his early curiosity for instruments and sound equipment soon led him toward music. At 20, he discovered the club scene and quickly developed a passion for electronic music production. His first releases gained the support of leading Italian DJs, who played his tracks worldwide. In 2014, he moved to Berlin, where he began organizing parties and showcases for his label, Theatre Records. After performing across Europe, in 2020 he co-founded ABYOND together with Franz Alice Stern, Moon Leap, and Straahl—a label dedicated to electronic music in all its forms, beyond genre boundaries. A versatile producer, Matteo has explored different sounds under multiple aliases, including BEIN (techno) and Groovebox Industry (his debut project). His journey is still evolving—the rest is yet to be written.Their RA profile lists Rebirth, Theatre Records and Abyond.Recently at OXI, ÆDEN, Marmorbar · often with Sciarada, Manuel Di Martino, babxi, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Rooted in the belief of the dancefloor as a space of infinite unique individual experiences, Qualia Trax embodies a playful genre-fluid approach to both DJing and curation. A long-time contributor to queer party scenes in Birmingham, London, Amsterdam and Berlin, Qualia Trax is founder, resident and booker for NEST, a queer, sex-positive party series and community in Berlin. This project seeks to 'queer-up' traditionally normative spaces and rituals to make them more accessible and enjoyable for marginalised groups, currently taking place at Kater Blau. They previously founded the VisionsKollektiv (fka Visionskultur), the highlight of which was the organisation and curation of the art and music programme for Kiek Beyond, a 3-day festival just outside Berlin in August 2023, and continue to support as a resident DJ and booker.Recently at Kater, Tresor / Globus, Phantom Bar Berlin · often with HOPPER, ACID BOGEN, Manta, none of them here that night
