"With regard to the current crisis in Afghanistan and the takover by the Taliban, which has made life more difficult especially for Afghan women, we decided to include a link for donations to the Afghanischer Frauenverein e.V. 
The organization was founded by Afghan women living in Germany, who put several projects into practice to support women and children, for example in the areas of education and health.

DEADCAST0037 x Whattis

SUNTHOID 016 - WHATTIS

For this episode and for the followings, I wanted to give the floor to some artists I admire and respect a lot. I believe everyone has ideas, a voice, opinions they want to fight for. I believe we can aspire for a better future world through music. Today, I have invited @djwhattis to record a Mixing for a Cause podcast.

MFC 27 : Whattis - Awareness Angels All Around

Whattis is a Swedish Berlin based DJ who likes her dance floors wet n wild. With a merciless and technical mixing style, she varies between hard techno, hard techno, and multiple hardcore genres. Whattis is also the founder of the ultra-sexy and queer clusterfuck Bleak Narrative, who conducts their mischief in Berlin and Brooklyn.

For this mix, they wanted to talk about awareness within our club culture.

Whattis: “As an organizer, attendee, and observer of parties and events in Berlin - the capital of decadence and debauchery - one is now used to event organizers adding a slur to their event descriptions such as "No racism, no sexism, no queerphobia, no ableism, no discrimination, no hate of any kind". I do not know if it's like this in other cities around the world. In my city, however, it's close to mandatory. A must. You need to put it there to indicate that you will not tolerate this shit at your event.

In the Berlin club culture, there is a higher and higher demand for awareness of awareness. Awareness about consent. Awareness about harm reduction. Awareness about gender identity. Awareness about violence. Awareness about discrimination. I can go on. The result is that the demand for these kinds of statements (such as the one above) is high, and the event promoters supply.

This movement is constructive. And the aim is to neutralize. Utopia is a reality where this is taken for granted. A reality where we do not have to condemn discrimination before pressing play, and the dance floor can exist as an undisturbed room for music and solidarity.

As an organizer, attendee, and observer of parties and events in Berlin, I am questioning how constructive these words are when there are zero strategies in place to actually live up to them. When they are just functional. You-did-what-was-expected-of-you type of thing. When there is no self-reflection behind them. When your operations outside of your club night do not reflect these values. When you tokenize. When you are a slave to profits. When you never question yourself. When you don't recognize your power position. When you refuse to learn from your mistakes. When you constantly defend your code of conduct. When you are unwilling to listen.

How might our clubbing utopia become real? We could start by strategizing and putting meaning behind our beautifully ethical words. 

Ask yourself: For whom am I intending to create a safer space? Why do I (no matter if you are an attendee, an event organizer, or the lightbulb changer at the club) need to put effort into this at all? When you have sorted that out, you can go on by asking yourself if you are actively sharing knowledge about awareness topics and educating your audience through all mediums accessible to you. Are you curating equitable lineups to the extent possible from where you stand? Do you have a door policy that intends to protect the attendees of your events? Do you educate the staff and yourselves on anti-discrimination topics?

Wow! All this sounds very honorable. Self-righteous too. Welcome to the club saint's preaching sesh!

There will never be a perfect answer to any of these questions you might ask yourself. No matter how aware you are, there is no such thing as a 'safe space' in an environment like a nightclub. But there are forces who do everything they can to strive for our utopia. That is why I dedicate this podcast to one of those forces in my city - TS Raver - a grassroots, trans-led team that provides awareness and peer support at parties in Berlin.

Bleak Narrative: J:unia x Whattis @ capsule berlin 27.10.2022

In this epic tale of swashbuckling adventure, @ponyobrln is a hard and fast femmebot who can dodge bullets using near instantaneous mathematical calculations. One day, she finds a magical CDJ that channels generations of vengeful bass. On a mission to destroy dancefloors all over the galaxy, she plugs it into a type F socket but realises its cheeky stomping power can only be harnessed if it is united with a second CDJ of equal power. Using a mysterious audio frequency, she is soon contacted by @he-duh, a well known disreputable pusspuss pirate, who informs her of how she ‘acquired’ the other vengeful CDJ form a notorious Swedish lama dealer. They soon realise that fast breaks would cause more fall out if they joined forces so they steal an old Soviet Vostock spherical reentry module, which they re-name @capsule-berlin and use it simultaneously as a streaming platform and a spacecraft containing attitude control thrusters and a retro rocket for dance floor termination. Currently in flight, PONYO and He duh will enter Mega Buff’s atmosphere on Wednesday 1st March at 8pm to deliver some ruff ’n’ tuff b2b multi vengeful pirate femmebot madness.

RSO.Berlin

Multigenre interstellar club sounds cranked up HARD. If you like your bass unhinged, PONYO has the hard-hitting flavours you crave. Originally from Istanbul and now based in Berlin, PONYO is a graduate of Femme Bass Mafia's first mentorship programme. Together with her already-burgeoning passion for powerful dance strangeness, it rocketed her style into genre-transcending wildness. Co-founder of local party Heartscape and the DJ platform capsule berlin, on the decks she’ll blast out gabbering hardcore of the avant garde variety, juke wormholes, and machine-gun breaks with abandon, but always keeping the vibe just to the right side of coherent to keep it from spiralling into cacophony.
