@agua_fk b2b @sergisenergi

Senergi is a rave charmer: with pulsating queer energy and sharp dancefloor instinct, he channels transformation through music. His sets weave 90s grooves, captivating drums, fierce vocals, and deep progressive rhythms. His energy has seen spots like Tresor in Berlin and Taipei’s Pawnshop, and as co-parent of @fairies_party, he keeps spreading love across the queer rave scene.

Agua con gas’ playful and seductive sets take you on a sensual and steamy journey on the dancefloor. The Berlin-based artist draws his inspiration from the sounds of '90s progressive, old school tribal rhythms, house and electro.
He has been honing his skills as a record digger since 2018, delivering his musical depth and versatile taste through radio shows with THF Radio, Mutant Radio Tbilisi, Radio80k, Istanbul's Root Radio, and Refuge Worldwide. You can find him playing at various clubs in Berlin, across Germany, UK, Switzerland, at the Smalltown Beat Festival in South Africa and most recently for Nada Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Ich weiß nicht, wann genau es angefangen hat. Vielleicht war es dieser erste flirrende Ton, kaum greifbar, fast wie ein Gedanke, der durch einen halbdunklen Raum schwebt. Société - Pale Drifter, sagt mir jemand neben mir. Alles ist noch weich, langsam, organisch. Kein Beat, nur Andeutung. Ich spüre, wie sich etwas aufbaut. 

Dann - plötzlich - der erste Kick. Dezent, aber unübersehbar. Etwas in mir richtet sich auf. Ich merke: Ich bin angekommen.
Der Raum lebt. Die Musik beginnt zu wechseln - nicht abrupt, eher wie ein Strom, der die Richtung ändert. Dub schleicht sich ein, und mit ihm dieser reduzierte Groove, der mehr fragt als antwortet. 
Und dann: Brass Destruction - laut, mutig, völlig ungeniert. 

Es ist dieser Moment, in dem etwas kippt. Die Zurückhaltung fällt, die Energie wird anders. Körperlicher. Der Groove packt uns - nicht aggressiv, eher verspielt, mit einem Hauch Wahnsinn.
Als Static Rhythm: Control kommt, wird es ernst. Die Drums sind härter, schärfer. Mein Körper folgt, ohne zu fragen. Ich tanze jetzt nicht mehr, ich reagiere. Der Dancefloor ist keine Fläche mehr, sondern etwas, das pulsiert und mich mitnimmt.

Und dann - der Bruch. Kein harter Cut, aber ein Aufatmen. House. Klassisch. Akkorde wie Lichtstrahlen, Vocals wie Umarmungen. Ich erkenne die Stimme sofort - Deborah Cox. Ihre Wärme trifft mich unerwartet tief. Plötzlich ist all das hier nicht mehr nur Musik, sondern Erinnerung.

Als der letzte Ton verklingt, bleibe ich kurz stehen. Ich schaue mich um - wir alle haben etwas durchquert. Nicht nur ein Set, sondern eine Geschichte. Eine, die zwischen Tiefe und Euphorie pendelte, zwischen innerem Echo und äußerem Rausch.

Ich lächle und gehe langsam raus.

When your body is carried away by the rhythm and you can't help but dance, you're most likely listening to the sound of KLUGES KIND. 
For Synergies⁴, she has served up a delicious tribal house set. Don't miss out on this feast of spicy percussion with a generous helping of crispy drums, garnished with the so good known sweet vocals. 
Dinner is served—bon appétit!
