October brings new energy to Relictronica with Tom Peters, DJ, producer and label head of DESSERT in Berlin.
A driving force in the queer club scene, Tom blends groovy house, hypnotic techno and tribal rhythms, shaping dynamic sets that flow between underground intensity and high-energy euphoria. His path spans a residency at Susanne Bartsch’s ON TOP at Le Bain NYC, to Berghain / SNAX, LAB.DANCE, Basement NYC, Gegen, and Pornceptual NYE at RSO Berlin.

Beyond the booth, Tom keeps reshaping the club experience. Since 2012 he has led the DESSERT event series, later expanding into record labels (DESSERT in 2021 and …is serving in 2023), the sober-leaning CLUB SOBER nights, and the playful BERLINCIAGAY project. His collaborations include Grammy Award-winner Honey Dijon, reflecting his deep roots in the global electronic community.

But more than the milestones, what defines Tom is the energy he radiates: intense, luminous, and always pushing for new possibilities.
This mix is an invitation to surrender to his sound, to move without borders, and to feel the pulse of October through his vision.

You are beautiful 🌹

He also launched his own monthly parties LESS DRAMA MORE TECHNO in 2015 where he could illustrate his own definition of music. 
He 's still processing to create vibrating moments where deep hypnotic sounds that rub shoulders to post industrial influences, defined by a poetic and smooth aesthetic: a sophisticated mix of deep & raw drums, groovy basslines and haunting melodies could define his own soundscape. A personal vision shared with an eclectic selection of international and local artists that stands out the current programmation of the parisian scene. Linked with this project. Ben Manson is also heading his own label LDMT records that reflects his own vision of music and promotes the local queer scene.
 
The recent launch of JIM Club, that schedules the most advanced Indie Dance, Italo Disco and House music is echoing to his 2000's background with a more contemporary direction."
