In 2016 I went to -now my dear friend, back then only my favorite DJ- Mira's birthday at Kater Blau for the first time. I was super into music, making mixtapes at home, going to so many parties and writing about them but not a DJ yet.

The vibe of the club, the music in all floors, and the fact that Mira is big supporter of female acts and seeing all these badass women playing mind-blowing music at this party had its mark on me.

Watching these legends Mira, Britta, Mimi Love, Mila Stern, Caleesi, I wanted to do it myself and I found the motivation, courage and inspiration because they were also women like me! Representation is so important!

In the following years I kept going to this party for my yearly dose of inspiration and of course fun!

Over the years, inspired by Mira and being colleagues now, we became friends and her impact on my life wasn't just musical. She's such a wise and wholesome person with integrity and the heart in all in the right places, that having her as a friend and inspiration definitely made me a better person and my journey of the new international touring DJ way smoother.

in 2021 I was even supposed to play for Mira's 44th birthday for the first time but the pandemic... (I mean I don't even need to finish this sentence). I ended up playing her 44.5 in Summer, the Ersatz Katzen party :)

Anyway, fast forward to 7 years and the birthday queen not only invited me to play her 46 Katzen party but also gave me the biggest honor of taking over the stage after her.

Playing Thursday in NYC, Friday in Montreal, flying back to Europe on Saturday, Sunday noon I arrived to Berlin like a zombie. Sleep before and after the set is hard but during... Actually not that bad. I was on a dream state throughout my set.

It felt really like a dream playing in a room not too long ago gave me the inspiration to be here today celebrating a women who always lifts others up as she rises. 

I also played music from my label Marginalia, I heard Mira and Mila Stern playing Marginalia too and I also two new artists from Marginalia family, Bakayan and D’aria were In the room when I played their unreleased music! What a moment 
I stayed sleep dancing until late because of all the incredible music

what an honor to play at this unique birthday celebration, I am grateful to life

Alles gute zum Geburtstag liebe Mira and thank you for being you!

I hope you all enjoy my set

Elif's set at Wonderfruit 2023 was a masterclass in control and emotion. A powerhouse on the decks, she captivated an audience that hung on her every beat. Amplified by our state-of-the-art 360° sound system and enhanced with synchronized bespoke lighting, her performance was not just heard but deeply felt, creating an immersive, heart-thumping experience. 

You can now experience that intensity and passion - Elif's unforgettable set is waiting for you.

Bucht der Träumer Festival was one the most fun shows I played this year. I had a great time on the magical Atlantis stage, sharing music to an incredible crowd Saturday evening, started when it was still day time and ended when i could see all the totems and lights of the stage lit up. Big thanks to everyone for being there and dancing with me, here's a little souvenir for you. And the ones that were not there please enjoy a little moment from this beautiful festival in Germany.

Everyone who’s been to a burn probably knows how emotional, mind-blowing, and deeply fulfilling that week can be. My Sunday sunrise set at Maxa was without a doubt one of the most special and emotional sets of my life – just like the entire week at Burning Man. What an intense and beautiful journey, culminating in that final sunrise I got to play on the deer.

Huge thanks to Maxa for having me and for creating one of the most stunning art cars out there! I loved every second of that set and felt truly honored to curate the soundtrack to that last sunrise out on the playa.

It’s moments like these that fuel my fire and remind me why I keep doing what I do. ❤️‍🔥

Still buzzing from the my dear friend Mira's birthday celebration party, which became a tradition for me to attend over the years (check my last years set's caption for a little backstory) I again had the honor of playing at 47 Katzen Tanzen Auf'm Tisch at Heinz Hopper this past Sunday afternoon after my dear friend, super talented MANTi and before the legend Echonomist. I danced with a lot of friends around the world, heard incredible sets from dear colleagues and friends and I felt like it was a healing experience for me at the right moment and it reconnected me with why I do what I do <3  Happy to share my set from Sunday afternoon, I hope you enjoy

Happy Birthday Mira!

I am SO excited to share my set from Shipwrecked Festival with you today. Without a doubt the highlight of my last couple of months on tour and one of my favorite sets I’ve ever played 🫠

Sometimes everything just falls into place... 18.000km from home, the vibiest of all sunsets, surrounded by so many smiling faces, sandwiched in between some of my very best friends, the most insane curation from start to finish… I’m still speechless when I think of this weekend and all the joy that it brought me.

I’ve put quite some thought into this set and I think it all came together just right. I hope it brings you, my dear Kiwi’s, some heart warming memories of summer - and for my friends in the northern hemisphere, a little taste of what’s ahead of us 🌞

Thank you so much Shipwrecked & Logan Baker for having me and for facilitating one of the most beautiful and heartfelt festivals I’ve ever been to, thank you Sound of Silk for making this whole New Zealand tour possible and thanks Madhat NZ & Louie Carrol for making the humming hut hummmmm! 🫶🏼

I’ll cherish this memory forever!

Hope you enjoy the ride 🎢

¨Playing together at Mayan Warrior during Mexico City's Art Week was a dream—sharing Britta’s first Mayan Warrior set, surrounded by friends and familiar faces, made it even more special. Everything aligned that night, and now you can relive it with us. ❤️ Recorded live—Mira B2B Britta Arnold.¨

Sharing the decks with an artist you deeply admire and call a friend brings a wild mix of excitement, nerves, and the kind of energy that pushes you to your limits — and sometimes beyond.
The idea first came up after my birthday last year. We kept dreaming and talking about it… and it finally came together in a 3-hour journey I can only describe as a true musical love affair.
We didn’t plan anything, just flowed into it naturally and at some point, it turned into a full-on jam.
It was one of those moments that felt like pure magic.
