DifferentSound invites Radical Softness B2B Alva / Podcast #137

Happy to share the live recording of my closing set from Tresor. ENJOY

Alva @ Tresor Berlin 02.12.2022 Closing Set

Get moving. Because, spring is coming to an end and May's podcast is delivered by the amazing, Berlin-based: Alva.

Bio
As a DJ on the ascendant, a crucial voice in Berlin nightlife, and an advocate for queer and marginalized actors in the scene, Alva’s attention is always focused outwards. Her observant nature is unfailingly evident, whether in the protective environment of her Calyx parties or when DJing around the world, cocooning rapt dancers within her signature fast-paced style, laced with driving hypnotism, exacting precision, thoughtful builds and intuitive responses.

While blurring the boundaries between CDJs and vinyl, Alva’s skill and dedication first caught the attention of crews and promoters in Berlin and beyond. In 2018 she was invited to join the infamous ISMUS collective, known for hosting some of the most intense and extended parties in the German capital; in the years since, she has played at demonstrations and DIY affairs alongside renowned queer club nights like Mala Junta in Berlin, Endurance in Copenhagen and FOLD in London, (UK), as well as every major nightspot in her hometown, including Säule at Berghain.

As she is poised to launch into her most in-demand moment yet, openness, diversity, and transformation, both within the booth and without the DJ booth, will continue to be the markers of Alva’s success.

Synopsis
Driving and uplifting, with built-in highlights that are both very forward and have a wistful touch, which reflects me as a person and is always present in my sets. In general, I like to incorporate emotions into my sets by integrating different soundscapes and aim to place them with a targeted build-up at the right moments.

The Renegade Sessions 032.

ALVA steps into the forefront for the newest edition of our series.
A skilled DJ known for her fast, precise mixing and diverse selections, she is already making her mark on the underground scene of Berlin and abroad. 

With performances at clubs like Säule at Berghain FOLD, Flashback (HUN), or Das Werk (AT) her energy behind the decks is undeniable. For this edition, she’s shared a special live recording of her set from SYNOID Weekend | ISARN Labelnight at RSO on December 8th last year.

“I am very happy to have a new talent participating in the series. All started when her agent send me an email and proposed a set from her.
I checked online a couple of her mixes and said yes without much thought. She had something in her track selection that caught my ear, a certain vibe that she was creating that resonated with me instantly. 
Very evident in this session also, she is taking us in a deep trip as it’s a part from her opening set from RSO. 
Masterfully blending stripped-down tracks to create something fresh for the crowd - it’s a proper techno work out with this nice touch of modern and deep minimalistic vibe that i enjoy hearing in recent sets. 
So let’s enjoy an hour of powerful and immersive club moment as Alva continues to bring us quality techno through her sets and live performances.”
