Vera Heindel is a gifted selector with flawless technique. Playing records in the way she does takes skill, yet the casual observer might not realise just how much. Technical proficiency is vital but only part of the picture. Her style requires a deep connection with her records, one that lets her join the dots throughout hours of music to create a fluid, mesmerising journey for the dance floor. With Heindel on the decks, you might hear shuffling minimal mixed into acid house, or electro into dub techno, bridged by subtle, speedy transitions that never sound rushed or disjointed. You may not realise a new (and very different-sounding) track is playing until long after the old one has been mixed out. It's an ego-free method that puts music above showmanship.

Cormac (Polari/Running Back/Ostgut Ton/Correspondant)

Cormac, once a hidden gem in dance music, has risen to prominence as his reputation as a revered selector has rapidly spread. Hailing from Northern Ireland, the queer DJ has gained respect for his knowledge of HI-NRG, Italo-House, and Techno.

He was a fixture at numerous seminal London clubs such as Nag Nag Nag, Trade and Bugged Out! His sets have graced major events like Sonar Festival, Glastonbury, Pollerweiseen, WHOLE, Circo Loco, Robert Johnson and Adonis. In Berlin and across Europe, Cormac is celebrated for his epic closing sets at Panorama Bar and Snax, sometimes lasting up to eleven hours. With free rein to explore diverse sounds, he has become a fixture in the club's lineup, keeping the crowd engaged till Monday morning with his extensive 20 years of DJ expertise.

Cormac launched his own label, Polari Records, in 2021. The label, named after old-school gay slang, features LGBTQ+ artists and collectible artwork. In May 2024, Polari Records held its first event at Panorama Bar. Cormac's BBC Radio 1 Essential mix showcased unreleased tracks from Polari alongside his debut solo release, “Heartcore”. His releases have also featured on Ostgut-Ton and Running Back Records.

He holds a monthly residency on Rinse FM. In May 2023 he dropped his acclaimed Resident Advisor Mix, and a fun-filled set for ARTE at TXL airport. He has been the cover story in fashion magazines in Germany and the UK, with a mix and interview for DJ mag in Spring of 2024.

His podcast, Cormac's Queerly Beloved, launched in January 2024. It features insightful interviews with LGBTQIA+ artists and allies, exploring the role of music in their lives. As an interviewer, Cormac brings warmth and sensitivity, drawing on his background in psychology and his journey from Northern Ireland to his work as a queer health advocate.
