COLLECTIVES
Haram Night is a Berlin-based, sex-positive community and nightlife platform rooted in SWANA, diasporic, queer and Global South cultures. Through club nights, performances, radio, workshops and community gatherings, Haram Night brings together genre-fluid sounds, cultural exchange and radical self-expression. We create spaces where music, pleasure, identity and connection meet, building a nightlife culture shaped by the communities within it.
saHHara** ⵣ سَهّارة is a Berlin-based community celebrating North African culture. Hosting club nights, radio shows, fundraisers, live concerts and cultural events, saHHara showcases Maghrebi and SWANA artists, blending traditional sounds like raï and stambeli with Berlin’s techno and house.
Dub & Dal celebrates cultural diversity by fusing soundsystem culture with South Asian roots, honoring tradition while creating space for innovation. It grew from a home radio show into gatherings with shared meals, education through workshops on soundsystem skills (technical and cultural), and activism via talks and collective action, building spaces around the world that feel like home and are accessible to everyone. dubndal.org
Fiestuki is a queer Latin American collective based in Berlin, aiming to build a constant global community, united by the passion of music from the Global South and beyond. Fiestuki is adaptable but also endemic. It mutates and it changes. Through different expressions like ambient nights, radio shows, club nights and accessible events, we showcase talent from dj, artists, producers, designers and gastronomists.
HAUS OF AUDACITY is by Trans/Non-binary artists, performers, and visionaries pushing the boundaries of nightlife and entertainment. Rooted in radical self-expression and community care, we are shaping an international scene blending underground aesthetics with global influences to create immersive experiences that defy norms and ignite connection as you have never experienced before.

their own biography
the whole biography
Meriem S is a Berlin-based DJ, resident at Refuge Worldwide and saHHara, and co-founder of CALABADDIES. Born in Tunisia and raised in Italy, she learned early that a room can hold more than one language at once, and that music is often what translates between them. That understanding is what she brings to the decks. A digger first, she is drawn to records that reveal unexpected connections between sounds, places, and eras. Every set she plays becomes a story built from those connections. She builds slowly and turns sharply. She holds a groove until the room leans in, then takes it somewhere less expected. Whether in a small listening room or at peak time, she is chasing the same thing: a dancefloor that feels good in the body and keeps people engaged. Away from the decks, Meriem curates nights across Berlin’s clubs and community spaces, giving underrepresented artists a platform and building events that look after the people in them.Recently at OXI, Kater, Else · often with Siggatunez, hi.fí, Lavan, none of them here that night
