Good to know

  • “Doors 22:00 / YSY Bar”
from the promoter’s listing

On October 16th, LOVESHACK takes over YSY Bar in Friedrichshain for a night of dark desires and seductive synths.

Robert Yang aka Bézier has been shaping queer dancefloors for over two decades — from his years as a core member of San Francisco’s Honey Soundsystem to underground clubs across the globe. Based in Berlin since 2018, Bézier has kept busy crafting live-wire dance music from rippling synths, crackling drums and a songwriter’s knack, releasing on his own imprint and beyond, and co-hosting underground events like Gentle Reminder at Paloma.

Alongside him, LOVESHACK host Charlie Vaux returns to set the mood and warm up the shack.

Adding an extra layer of tension, intimacy and ritual to the night is a live Shibari performance by Kat.

•••

LOVESHACK is for those who believe in music as ritual.

For the queers, the nerds, and those who get it.

A moment to let go, to pulse together.

Come early. Leave fulfilled.

COME, STEP INSIDE THE SHACK.

    “Bézier is a ripple.”

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Bézier is a ripple. Bézier is a synth-organic proto-techno trip: an analog vision of club-floor futures, a journey of kinetic movement through embodied sound. You might know Robert Yang from Berlin, his home base since 2018, where you'll find him disseminating the electric catechism in places like Zur Klappe, a former subway toilet transformed into an underground nightclub. Or you might know him from his previous home, San Francisco, where he spent 14 years as a core member of the queer DJ collective Honey Soundsystem. Yang and the Honey crew threw a party every Sunday night for five years in a row—that's 260 parties, but who's counting?—and toured the globe, while running an eponymous record label that released music by Patrick Cowley, Octo Octa, Vin Sol, and beyond. Or you might know him simply as Bézier, the alias through which he's issued a dozen-plus records of livewire dance music crafted from rippled synths, crackling drums, and a songwriter's knack. Bézier's sound is the product of a lifelong obsession with electronic music. Experiments with MIDI on the family computer and DIY synth repair exposed Yang to synthesis at an early age. That led to a teenage obsession with Autechre and Björk, among others, and undergraduate courses in computer music. Finally came the accumulation of gear, vintage and modern, that powers Yang's sound design. Today, Bézier's tracks are tighter, more focused, and more dialed-in than ever. That's the result of the confidence Yang has earned as a producer and artist—the ability to pay attention to the things that matter and ignore what doesn't. These days, Bézier is back in the studio and at work on his own record label: Körperspannung, or K-SPAN for short. The phrase is German for "body tension"—a phrase Yang's partner Lennard, aka Len.Leo, would use to remind Yang to embody himself as an independent gay Asian musician, to stay strong, to be proud. That sums up the label's ethos: a celebration of creative electronic expression from within the gay community, and a home for music that steps outside the box and blurs the lines. After over 15 years in the game, that's Bézier's ethos, too. All you need to do is listen.

    the whole biography
    From sweaty basements of queer bars to festival mainstages at dawn, Charlie Vaux has emerged as a rising icon of Berlin’s underground scene, shining as a passionate and skilled selector and curator . As the visionary behind Neukölln’s genre-fluid party series LOVESHACK, resident artist at Hamburg’s iconic Queerpool and a member of the EBM/Darkwave label Crave Tapes, Vaux is firmly rooted in the queer underground and has carved a reputation as one of its most versatile and exciting emerging talents. After a decade spent twirling across Berlin’s dancefloors, collecting music and refining his taste, he is now making waves internationally , with appearances on HÖR and at renowned clubs like KHIDI, Tbilisi and Le Sucre, Lyon. Never one to resist a touch of drama and nostalgia, he effortlessly blends dark and sultry genres like Synthwave, EBM and Electro with brighter shades of Italo, House and Disco, crafting a signature sound that is eclectic, sensual, and vocal-driven. In 2025 he collaborated with Italian-born producer Leonardo Di Fiore on their cinematic debut EP “Changing Colors” , blending Vaux’ powerful vocals with dreamy synths, raw emotion and 80s nostalgia. The duo has since unveiled their new joint project, Opera Electric. Beyond the booth, Vaux channels his creativity into photography , filmmaking, and curating events that celebrate diverse music and queer community . A multidisciplinary artist through and through, Vaux channels fluidity and fearless self-expression into everything he does - creating unforgettable moments that resonate long after the last track fades.
