So in a desperate emergency pee moment, a friend of mine discovered that instead of waiting in the long ass bathroom line at the club, you could just go into the dark room and piss on the floor instead. It ended up being such a good idea that she brought loads of friends in with her throughout the night who also needed to piss. Eventually the bouncers realized something was up and came in to ask them what they were doing. In a panic one of them blurted "We're having...urine...sex".  The bouncer, not really knowing what to do, just said "Uhhh okay" and left. Legal dark room bathroom loop hole unlocked!

This cheeky darkroom lurker has been doing the rounds for a while now and we have decided that it's finally time to expose it to the world!

Vaggison Smooth - DRKRM

JakoJako (@jakojako_live) always wanted to make music and her self-confessed hyperactivity ultimately led to her getting the most joy out of playing about with machines and patching up synths. These days the Berghain resident is a celebrated live act and DJ who draws on the considerable knowledge she picked up working at Berlin's legendary synth shop SchneidersLaden, but she has also worked on several high-profile motion sensor dance projects at places like The Royal Albert Hall. Her smart sound designs and unique rhythms have landed on Leisure System, Tresor and Figure and she has a new EP coming on Mute this June.

Her mix for us this week features a sneak preview of one of the tracks from that EP as well as mixing up music from Alaric, Siege, Altinbas and many more. It's full of high-speed sounds couched loosely in techno but with moods and textures borrowed from industrial, minimal and even trance as things reach an emotional peak late on. Though she broke through as a live act, this set shows JakoJako can now speak just as freely through the decks.

LOLSNAKE 
Leaning into several layers of electronic music, from metallic techno, angelic trance and squishy acid to cosmic bleep, Lolsnake (she/they) fuses a maelstrom of textures into their sets, stirring up heady atmospheres and hypnotic moods on the dancefloor, forming a magnetic aesthetic of their own.

The Iraqi-American DJ, visual artist and founder of the queer platform Weeeirdos approaches her work from a far-reaching and curious perspective, always finding ways to inject colour and charisma into the space she commands.

In 2023 alone, the Berghain regular took their sound worldwide, playing in De School, Blitz, Whole, and many more parties and festivals across Europe and the Americas, including a Weeeirdos showcase hosted by Boiler Room in Berlin.

Since 2017, Lolsnake has curated Weeeirdos events across the city and beyond into Prague and Copenhagen. The party pokes fun and freedom into the primarily dark and sometimes pretentious aspects of the dance music scene, encouraging clubbers to dress in bold attire and arrive with an open mind. Interdisciplinary artists like Ellen Allien, Chippy Nonstop, Parrish Smith, and Schacke have recently soundtracked the series.

With plans to bring Weeeirdos on a world tour, host its Berghain debut and kickstart its eponymous record label, Lolsnake has proved to be a vibrant artist on the global scene and a leading example of what happens when one doesn't follow the rules.
