    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Boris, the long-standing Berghain resident, is deeply committed to the captivating magic that unfolds on the dance floor. This burning passion within him sparks a longing to shape, tease and playfully amplify the intensity of the dance floor action. With over two decades of experience as a producer for the likes of Ostgut Ton and Careless and as a DJ, he remains an unwavering, yet never predictable, mainstay. Renowned for his extended, scorching techno closing sets, Boris is one of the most well-versed and dedicated protagonists in Berlin's vibrant queer electronic scene. However, to pigeonhole Boris only to Berlin would be doing him a disservice. In fact, his visits to legendary clubs like Paradise Garage and the Loft in New York City have left an indelible mark on his persona and DJ style. Imagine the euphoric sounds that created a sense of belonging and ecstasy in Boris's heart while experiencing the massive pumping sound and welcoming community feeling at NYC's clubs. He brings this same warmth and playful energy to dance floors worldwide. His infectious style makes it effortless for clubbers to lose themselves in the music and partying, earning him a loyal following within the queer scene - and beyond. Whether he's playing small, intimate clubs, festivals, or his prestigious residencies such as Berghain, Faust in Seoul, or House of Mince in Sydney, Boris has the gift to take people to another state of mind where nothing matters but the music and the moment.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    DJing quintessentially and producing for over a decade, Jamaica Suk has found rising prominence for her unique brand of seamless mixing and driving, psychedelic-meets-gritty techno. Jamaica’s work has always been built on discipline, deep sonic exploration, and a passionate connection to the scene. Hailing from San Francisco and based in Berlin, she quickly became a fixture of the German capital’s scene and built a vast network of underground communities across Europe and internationally. She’s centered her craft in the studio and behind the decks on the art of contrast – grimy industrial edge with meditative, consciousness-expanding dream worlds with no-holds-barred runaway energy. Jamaica’s voice always finds a timeless balance between the rawness of 90s techno traditions and boundary-pushing modern techniques. Her critically-acclaimed label Gradient has been a platform for her own finely-tuned productions, including a 17-track quadruple-vinyl release, “Uncertain Landscape.”
    Their RA profile lists Mute Records, L.A.G., Counterchange, Mord and 4 more.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Pure Immanence is the collaborative conceptual DJ project of Nick Bazzano and Kiddo Sincere. In their performances, Pure Immanence seeks to activate a sonic plane of consistency that evokes multiple musical atmospheres and genres, from techno to ambient, to house, trance, progressive, experimental, and beyond. This is an experiment using sound to gain access to psychedelic intensities and affective potentials immanent to the act of listening and dancing to music together. Pure Immanence has held a well-received eponymous monthly Wednesday-night residency at Bossa Nova Civic Club since 2016. Pure Immanence is also associated with the Unter collective, having performed as residents and having curated ambient programming for their various underground queer rave projects for years. Pure Immanence is proud to have collaborated with and performed at many notable nightclubs, raves, festivals, and events both in the states and abroad, including Whole Festival (Germany), Buttons (://aboutblank, Berlin), secondnature (Seattle), multiple appearances at both Sustain-Release (NY) and Fourth World (NYC), and many others.

    As the creative director of parka, co-founded with Lawrence Lee in Berlin, DJ Sharf has been responsible for some of the sweatiest and most memorable dance floor experiences in New York City, Miami, LA, and Paris, over the past 10 years. Influenced by the bridge and tunnel beats paired with lush angelic vocals of early 2000's rave titans, DJ Sharf's sound incorporates an expansive Latin and tribal soul in his culo-shaking sets.

    their own biography

    the whole biography
    SINKITTY (fka Julian Camilo) is a DJ and photographer from Bogotá, Colombia, now based in New York City. His sound pulls from across the Latin American diaspora: early 2000s Puerto Rico and New York reggaeton sourced from a personal archive of rare CDs, colliding with guaracha, dancehall, baile funk, and sharp club edits. Queer, unapologetic, and built for bodies in motion, SINKITTY pushes reggaeton somewhere new. His sets have burned through Club Felinas in Bogotá alongside SixSex, Puticlub in Berlin, and GRILLEO's dark underground in Medellín.
