After a little break, Chain Reaction is back with an escalation plan, landing at Fitzroy for the first time.
On Friday, 23 October, we’re gathering Berlin’s house music community for a night of progressive, leftfield and driving house. Expect playful experimentation and seven hours of music carried by Fitzroy’s powerful sound system.
𓇽𓇽𓇽𓇽𓇽
SOPH.RIOT is a German-Brazilian DJ based in Berlin and part of the MOZAÏK collective. She brings together modern house and trance with influences from her Brazilian roots.
For a special b2b, French-Ivorian DJ and former classical flautist Drama Hexe meets Chain Reaction resident and curator Adri Alibi. Drama Hexe blends groovy old-school house, percussive rhythms and dreamy textures, while Adri draws from a deep fascination with rhythm, body music, cold wave and electro.
Posture is an Australian producer and DJ based in Berlin, a SEVEN artist and co-founder of the queer party series Cuties. A self-described dancefloor diva, she moves between soul-enriching grooves, sun-soaked euphoria and sassy late-night gems.
Closing the night is DJ handbag, a Berlin-based house DJ, founder and resident of the CNTCORE collective. Her sets combine vocal house, hardbag, garage, UK bass and industrial textures with a sound rooted in queer club culture, joy and rebellion.
𓇽𓇽𓇽𓇽𓇽
This one is for dancers who like their house music playful, sexy, a little strange and made for a sweaty dancefloor.
To mark our Fitzroy debut, the Chain Reaction community will transform the space with handmade decorations created especially for the night.
Come as you are, express yourself freely and help us keep the dancefloor warm, respectful and open. Respect boundaries and ask for consent. Discrimination, harassment and unwanted contact have no place here.

their own biography
the whole biography
Drama Hexe is a Berlin-based DJ exploring house and progressive house. Her sets move between 90s influences and more recent sounds, with a focus on groove, rhythm and percussive textures. Always dancefloor-oriented, sometimes a bit dreamy, sometimes more raw — but always about keeping people moving. With a background in flute, she approaches DJing in an intuitive and fluid way, letting things evolve naturally rather than forcing a structure.Recently at Renate, Mikropol, AVA Club · often with cliff, Nina van D'or, Ambyvealent, none of them here on Friday

Having grown up dazzled by the winds of the North Sea, now immersed in the whirlwind of the Berlin scene, he seeks above all to explore his own emotions to captivate the audience. Tightly connected to the European queer underground electronic scene, as well as other alternative music movements, he works as a music curator for various organizations such as Cashmere Radio, Chain Reaction, RBL Berlin & Love Letters Records. He is also part of the duo Housecall, acclaimed for their disco-house-oriented productions & live performances.Recently at Kater, Paloma, Renate · often with Habitat Shaking, elliephunk, Kidcat, none of them here on Friday
