Launching to prominence out of Herrensauna's infamous underground parties, CEM has forged a singular path as an fierce club DJ unafraid of turning the dancefloor moody. CEM's unique brand of emotive hysteria was forged in Herrensauna's hedonistic Berlin furnace in the last few years, and as one of the party's three core members, he has been at the heart of the operations since its inception. With the party attracting more and more attention for its critical contribution to Berlin's queer community, as well as their raw italo-metal aesthetic, the opportunity came to move into Tresor, where it has cemented its place as a unique addition to Berlin's nocturnal topography. CEM's role in all this is twofold—firstly, as curator of the party's unique mix of frenetic DJs and industrial-edged live performances; and secondly, as one of the resident DJs. The sheer pace of Herrensauna's preferred grade of techno is offset by his enigmatic presence and selection. It's a crucial edge of the party, and it's rightfully brought CEM to the world's attention. With a preference for UK-tweaked tracks from across the contemporary milieu of harder club works, nor with a fear of breakbeats or sullen moments, he's a rare species of DJ that seeds intensity in even the most hesitant of movers. And with a background in queer club culture going back a decade to his hometown of Vienna—side-by-side with a punk upbringing—CEM's well versed in the essential metrics of unrelenting after dark commotion.Last at BASEMENT in Dec 2024 · often with MCMLXXXV, DJ TOOL, Juliana Huxtable, none of them here that night

Volvox is a global leader in the movement for representation of female, queer, trans and nonbinary identities in the techno industry. A dominant figure of New York’s techno renaissance, across the globe the name DJ Volvox has become synonymous with surgical mixing technique and a certain square-shooting, take-no-prisoner approach towards dance floor business. Her parties are the stuff of legend, and her authenticity as a global cultural figure is undeniable. As a member of Discwoman, the all-female DJ crew that transformed electronic music culture over the last decade, she broke ground for more women to rise in the global DJ ranks and inspired countless more to begin in the craft. Having circled the globe more times than she can count, Volvox has turned her sights back on nurturing electronic music culture in her home, the United States. Ariana is now spearheading the construction of a space of inclusivity under the umbrella of a FLINTA-driven event series, simply named FLINTA NYC. Her music-driven program seeks to reinvigorate the techno scene by reviving context and nuance and blending scenes to push Brooklyn nightlife into the next chapter. Ariana is known for tough, stripped-back techno and groovy hypnotic sets that seduce the listener into a maelstrom of emotion. She has been a busy DJ and event producer since 2006 and in that time has shared the decks with many international stars including DVS1, Marcel Dettmann, Ellen Allien, The Hacker, Legowelt and Mike Servito. Raised in Buffalo, New York, her early experiences in the industrial and rave scenes of rust-belt America shaped her outlook on dance culture. An ardent supporter of the underground, she was a key figure in developing the electronic music scene in Boston, Massachusetts from 2007-2010. Breaking out internationally in 2015 she has enjoyed a busy tour schedule including noted appearances at Dekmantel and the ascendant Sustain-Release festival in upstate New York. Since then she tours extensively across Europe and makes regular appearances at Berghain/Panorama Bar in Berlin. She also tours South America and Asia yearly. Ariana is a unique character on the US scene guaranteed to bring a high energy show that lights up dance floors with an undeniable spirit.Their RA profile lists Ostgut Ton, Jack Dept and Murder Records.Recently at BASEMENT, Paragon, H0L0 · often with Dominga, Boris, Sissies of Mercy, none of them here that night

DJ, producer, and antidisciplinary artist MORENXXX—also known as Jesús Hilario Reyes—is a true enigmatic force exalted from Chicago’s underground. MORENXXX's hypnotic yet blisteringly-fast sound ranges with rapturous percussion and ethereal intensity, weaving infectious grooves and defiant rhythms far above the genre battlegrounds, culminating in something otherworldly and entirely their own. Tectonic, boundless, undeniable, MORENXXX enmeshes the contemporary and the timeless with cyclonic fluidity. ;) morenxxx.me@gmail.com Asia: info@wildblur.studioBass Music on 1, Hard House on 1, Progressive Breaks on 1 and Techno on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists Wet Trax.Recently at Studio 301 NYC, Market Hotel, Nowadays · often with LOKA, Shyboi, SIRENS, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Shaped by his formative years in New York, Tommy's sets are a vehicle for connection—each track a carefully selected tool for transformation, placed with intention and control. Drawing from the lineage of house and techno, his sets reflect a close study of its past and a clear vision forward. Rhythms build patiently, tension accumulates, and energy undulates across the dancefloor. Selections move through driving deep cuts, hypnotic grooves, and soaring vocals, allowing space for the room to expand, settle, and respond. Now based in Mexico City, Hart holds residencies at Yuyu Cine Club and LGBTQ+ institution [sic] club, two anchors in the city’s ever-evolving underground landscape. He continues to tour extensively, bringing his physical and emotionally driven approach to dancefloors worldwide.Recently at Good Room, Le Bain, Paragon · often with flirty800, Dj Warning, DJ USA, none of them here that night
