CEM’s unique brand of emotive hysteria was forged in Herrensauna’s hedonistic Berlin furnace in the last few years, and as one of the party’s two core members, he has been at the heart of the operations since its inception. With the party attracting more and more attention for its critical contribution to Berlin’s queer community, as well as their raw italo-metal aesthetic, the opportunity came to move into Tresor, where it has cemented its place as a unique addition to Berlin’s nocturnal topography. CEM’s role in all this is twofold—firstly, as curator of the party’s unique mix of frenetic DJs and industrial-edged live performances; and secondly, as one of the resident DJs. The sheer pace of Herrensauna’s preferred grade of techno is offset by his enigmatic presence and selection. It’s a crucial edge of the party, and it’s rightfully brought CEM to the world’s attention.

MCMLXXXV is perhaps best known as a founding member of Herrensauna - the beloved queer party originating in Berlin - but the influence of his curational work resonates much further afield, encompassing the spheres of music, art and fashion with a sincere appreciation of subcultural movements and their associated aesthetics.
His DJ sets celebrate a countercultural approach to electronic music, drawing upon an intense, seductive fusion of charged rhythmic tension and obscure sonic imagery. With a comprehensive knowledge of genres ranging from EBM and electro to hard trance and industrial, his ability to weave seemingly disparate references together is the result of years spent dedicated to the underground, in all its grit and glamour.

Herrensauna reflects the need for a queer-led techno event in a city where underground and mainstream sit tensely alongside each other, and gentrification threatens the vast network of cultural spaces the city calls its own. Despite its name - a tongue-in-cheek reference to the clandestine culture of gay men’s saunas - it is the sense of community at the parties, which have now travelled the globe, that lend to their ever growing influence across the queer diaspora.

Upcoming highlights include showcases at Dekmantel Festival, Sonar 2022, as well as the release of the second V/A EP on Herrensaunas own Label featuring Slikback, Isabella, Crystallmess and more.

D.Dan at HÖR BERLIN, June 14 2023

On this week’s Glitch Podcast, we have Herrensauna resident & co-founder MCMLXXXV showcasing his extensive genre expertise and dancefloor prowess with an electrifying selection.

This podcast is an actual live recording from a gig at Tag in Chengdu, China. @thetruemcmlxxxv says, "The selection is very intuitive as I did not know that the set would be recorded. Which I actually prefer as it kept me playing really just what I liked without having to worry too much about whether I played a track already in a mix. Long story short: this set is pretty much me at the moment. Relentless body. I had the most amazing time playing it and I will always look back at this night in awe. Chinese promoters and club owners face really tough times at the moment imposed on them by the government, especially when the LGBTQIA community is targeted by the police. Hope this one carries their message a bit further."

SCHACKE - RECORDED LIVE AT WAS. UTRECHT (09.03.24)

Coming up next on the Glitch Podcast, we welcome none other than SALOME. The HERRENSAUNA resident has stormed onto the scene with the same blistering energy she brings behind the decks. Her sets are a high-voltage fusion of genres, and this mix is no different — seamlessly shifting between playfulness and provocation. It’s sensual, voluptuous, and undeniably sexy. A perfect showcase of SALOME’s talent for merging the physical and the evocative into vibrant, cutting-edge soundscapes.
