Body Language 08.04.23 - DJ FUCKOFF B2B Camilla Rae

Berlin can be a little crowded – that’s why it’s always exciting to see a DJ move through the ranks and cement their place amidst the melting pot.

ābnamā has been building a reputation – playing at parties around the city, some well known and others for those in the know.

Appearances at the likes of Buttons, Cocktail d’Amore and Body Language have helped to cement an identity as a fierce, fast paced selector with a unique style. It was at Body Language that this mix was recorded, a wild two hours of vinyl only madness which we can only imagine blew the roof off.

ābnamā is also involved in the running of queer party DUMP and formerly Climax. Originally from Tehran and now based in the German capital – we anticipate that you might be seeing a lot more from ābnamā over the coming years and judging by this mixtape… if you do you better dress to sweat.

LIVE RECORDING: Bennet @ Body Language 12.08.23 

Bennet made their Body Language debut on 12.08, serving up an all-vinyl masterclass in the Queer and joyful roots of rave! 

Picture this: it’s 5:30 in the morning and you’re on a sexy, sweaty Body Language dancefloor. The crowd is a sea of smiles, and the dancefloor is literally dripping from the heat of the moment as Bennet traverses through oldskool house, early progressive house and trance, breaks, and early rave hymns.

Rooted in Hannover’s local scene, Bennet is part of the DJ-collective soft spot, co-founded the party series Buttercup and holds a residency at Weltspiele.

Bennet started mixing their favorite vinyls during lockdown, seeking for affects and energetic repercussions of the imaginative dance floor. Going all across the board, they always recur to the dancefloor’s utopian notions of togetherness and unity and political dimensions of the body.

LIVE RECORDING : Mat Fink @ Body Language 14.10.2023

This is a relentless techno adventure that brings the old and new together, paying homage to the queer black and Latino communities that gave rise to this music while introducing some new names from todays scene, artists like Devoye, e-Talking, 131bpm, Vitling, and Mat’s own unreleased music.

The mix is a connected story of energy for the body and mind that leaves you in a higher frequency when the music stops.

Body Language 14.10.2023 - Mat Fink

"A big inspiration for this set was the queer UK club scene of the mid 90’s, with labels like Sharp Recordings and Higher State Records.
It's an excerpt of my garden closing at Body Language (at Re:mise in Berlin) back in August 2023.
It is very high energy - 90’s restless belters only - so it will be perfect for a little dance at home, or working out for example."


Body Language resident, @bpm131bpm has played their first all vinyl-only closing garden set in the club, and it’s brilliant. Luckily, it’s been recorded for us to immortalise online for everyone who was unlucky enough not to be present at its incarnation.

Still thinking of that perfect sunny day soundtracked by the Mi$$ Junia 💕

"I like to have a loose visual reference or a fantasy frame when packing for a set. I knew I’m playing indoors as it gets dark after a long day of people dancing outside in the sun. I wanted something that’s like a wormhole, seductive and slick but at the same disorienting in terms of era or mood, a bit like a cyberpunk lezzie erotic thriller. "


We’re joined by DUMP co-organiser/curator and Body Language Resident @abnama, with a recording of her sexy live set from the last Body Language party. With a diverse genre-bending sound, ābnamā has become a staple in the Berlin queer underground.
