Head of the queer identifying VRAAA label and a celebrated protagonist on Berlin’s most sexually liberated dancefloor, Pornceptual, Projekt Gestalten is the identity of Brazilian techno producer and DJ, Diego Garcia. Adorning their DJ sets in various forms of white wedding dresses and baroque embroidery, Projekt Gestalten’s sexual-kinks, queer desire and bold feminine spirit flaunts a unrivaled promiscuity of tongue-in-cheek tawdry that’s pushing techno music and its artistic, sexual appetites that much further.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙅𝙀𝙆𝙏 𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙇𝙏𝙀𝙉: It was terrible. I started producing before DJing. I did a remix for a queer project in Brazil called Las Bibas from Vizcaya back in 2009 and they invited me to play at its release party in a bar called Sonique in São Paulo. I have practiced for a few days with my friend's DJ setup but I still was not ready for playing in a club, I had no skills as a DJ. Ironically, I was dressed with a nice shirt, vest and tie, very similar to a groom's outfit. I had no idea I would become a bride in the future.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Producing, DJing, running a label, ranking Divas… how do you manage your time?
𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙅𝙀𝙆𝙏 𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙇𝙏𝙀𝙉: I have a lot of free time during the week. I try to pace myself and find a balance between doing projects and also some relaxing down time. Inspiration to produce comes and goes for me, sometimes I stay months without producing and, then, I compose a full EP in a day. Last year was a bit troubling for me, in terms of DJ gigs, so, hopefully, I will play more this year. Regardless, Mondays and Tuesdays are my new weekends and I feel no guilt for doing nothing these days.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Have clubs become more or less important to you over the years? Why?
𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙅𝙀𝙆𝙏 𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙇𝙏𝙀𝙉: Clubs were always important to me. It can be a place where you just go to let off some steam and dance your troubles away or to socialize with people, connect, get inspired or network. It also can be an act of resistance and endurance, specially in regards to queer and POC parties. That's why it is also so important to me to keep coming back to Ukraine and play at parties there. I always get inspired by the resilience of the Ukrainian underground dance community that keeps going even in such horrific times.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How do you approach your DJ sets? Do you play intuitively or according to a strict pattern?
𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙅𝙀𝙆𝙏 𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙇𝙏𝙀𝙉: I usually pick the first and last track I wanna play before I arrive at the party. However, I might change my mind at the very last minute depending on the vibe from the party and the atmosphere that the DJ before me is bringing. I also have some key tracks that I wanna play for sure at a specific event. I organize my folders by moods, so I have full control of the feelings I wanna convey. For me, DJing is about reading the crowd and it is an exchange of energy between the DJ and the audience. Sometimes, I don't connect with the crowd and that is also OK, but it will affect the overall mood of my set.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What can we expect from you in the near future?
𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙅𝙀𝙆𝙏 𝙂𝙀𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙇𝙏𝙀𝙉: I am working on new music that I am very excited about where I want to explore more of my Brazilian roots. I want to play more live gigs this year, so I am working on new setups and approaches to my live sets. I also want to collaborate with more artists from the queer scene this year so I am in conversation with a lot of talented people to make that happen.

Born in Ukraine, raised in Australia, and now based in Paris, Katia Val is known for her unique fusion of reflective and danceable tracks. With a distinctive sound that blends timeless and futuristic elements, she cleverly uses synthesisers, drum machines, and electronic instruments to create genre-defying productions. You can expect an array of styles in her sets including deep techno, progressive trance, deep groovy house and a hint of bass music & breakbeat. Since 2020, she has played at iconic European clubs like Fuse, RSO, OXI, Ved Siden Af, Macadam, Rex Club & also Boro Room in Bogotá to name a few. 

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙆𝘼𝙏𝙄𝘼: It was about 10 years ago at a DJ competition in Australia. That day, I was up first, so I figured there’d be maybe 10 people watching (mostly my friends and my grandma). But five minutes before my set, the room filled up and I had to play in front of 500 people. Luckily it was short because my nerves couldn’t have handled anything longer.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: From Hard-Trance & Hard-Techno to … ? How would you describe your sonic journey?

𝙆𝘼𝙏𝙄𝘼: Pure experimentation. After diving into a bunch of genres, I’ve come full circle and ended up right where I started. It shows in my production too. It was fun to experiment, but it also made finishing tracks tough because I was constantly torn between different directions. Now, I feel like I finally found my sound so I guess it was worth going through all that. 

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What's important to you when you play in the club?
𝙆𝘼𝙏𝙄𝘼: Number one is a safe environment for everyone. A close second is keeping cameras to a minimum. I find it hard to stay in the moment when there are tons of phones on the dancefloor or when I can constantly feel cameras on me. It starts to feel like I’m experiencing the night through a screen instead of being present and connecting with people.
 
𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Any crazy story from your DJ life?
𝙆𝘼𝙏𝙄𝘼: All my USB’s dying randomly throughout my set triggering constant emergency loops. This went on for about 2 hours. DJ hell.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Have you set yourself goals for 2025?
𝙆𝘼𝙏𝙄𝘼: To produce as much music as possible.

𝙑𝙀𝙎𝙀𝙇𝙆𝘼 𝙋𝙊𝘿𝘾𝘼𝙎𝙏 086 | 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙇𝘼𝙒𝘼

STANISLAWA blends her values and music, crafting 90s trance, sexy techno grooves, and progressive house bangers. Founder of queer party collective Deep Down East (2017), she co-created “Slava” for Ukraine and “Rave Against Fascism.” Active in Belgian venues, festivals across Europe, and radio “gimic,” she debuted her EP "Forever Strong" in 2024 with personal, hard-hitting tracks.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙇𝘼𝙒𝘼: I started DJing when I was 12, playing at small parties in my village during my teenage years. But my first proper club gig happened completely by chance. I was working at a bar, and after my shift, I went to a small club where some friends were hanging out. I went behind the booth to say hi to the DJ and somehow ended up playing an unplanned 30-minute closing set. A few weeks later, I returned to the club for a proper, announced set. The owner recognized me and, as a thank-you for the music, gifted me an Adidas tracksuit. That moment really stuck with me, it felt like a small but meaningful initiation into the scene.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Intimate club vs. festival atmosphere. Your pros and contras:
𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙇𝘼𝙒𝘼: I’ve always been a club kid. I started going out in Brussels clubs at 15, worked as a student party promoter, and launched Deep Down East when I was 17. Clubs shaped me, not just musically, but socially. They introduced me to good friends, my chosen family, and a sense of belonging. Brussels clubs, in particular, have this unique, close-knit energy, whether it’s at C12, where I work and know everyone, or at Fuse, where the artist care team makes you feel welcome, whether you're playing or just passing through.

Festivals came later for me. I couldn’t afford to go as a teenager, so I always told myself, I’ll go when I get booked. That mindset stuck with me, and last summer, I was so happy to experience Dour and Pukkelpop for the first time, by playing there. The energy at festivals is wild, the lineups are massive, and the scale is completely different from a club. But after my set, I always love to retreat backstage; being in a huge crowd can feel overwhelming, especially for neurodivergent babes.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: “The future is queer!” Is this true?
𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙇𝘼𝙒𝘼: Absolutely. Queer culture has always been at the forefront of nightlife, music, and creative spaces, it’s where new ideas, sounds, and movements are born. The DIY ethos, the resilience, the sense of community, these things shape not just club culture, but the way we think about inclusivity and freedom in music. And beyond nightlife, you can feel the shift in wider culture. More and more people are embracing fluidity, rejecting rigid norms, and creating their own spaces rather than waiting for permission. The future isn’t just queer, it’s unapologetically so.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Any secret spots in Brussels you can recommend?
𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙇𝘼𝙒𝘼: SuperFourchette! It’s a restaurant and record store in the city center where I used to work. The food is amazing, fresh, well-sourced, and good whether you’re vegetarian or not. But beyond that, they also host punk concerts a few times a month, which gives the place an extra edge.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What does your upcoming summer look like?
𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙇𝘼𝙒𝘼: Let’s just say it’s shaping up to be a good one! Some returns to festivals I loved playing in past years, some exciting debuts at places I’ve been dreaming of… but I won’t spoil too much just yet. Keep an eye on my socials, announcements are coming soon.

POWERTECH is a techno producer and DJ from a small town in the Kyiv region. A connoisseur of brutal dark sound. Skillfully playing with techno and its sub genres, he immerses in the flow, weaving metallic and hypnotic sound textures with an uncompromising bass rhythm.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃: Despite the great excitement, my first gig went very well. It was scary just to start…But with each passing minute, confidence returned.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How did you get into music and DJing?
𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃: My first contact with music writing was back in 2019. My friend Oleksandr showed me a daw program for the first time. For me, it was a separate world where I could realize my creative ideas. At first, I watched him use plug-ins, effects, and rhythms. And then I started trying it myself. Later, I went to my first rave and realized that I liked techno. I got excited about the idea and started to delve deeper into this direction. Then I got my hands on an old controller, which I learned to play at the same time.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What is your music about?
𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃: My music now and my music before are two different stages of life. But both now and before, my music is connected with emotions, because if I feel the music on an emotional level while playing, then people on the dance floor feel it the same way.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How do you experience the Electronic Music Scene in Kyiv?
𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃: First of all, I am pleased with the great progress of our scene, even looking at the conditions in which we live now. There are many artists who inspire with their professionalism and skill, events that I want to return to both as a guest and an artist. But, to be honest, here, as in all spheres of life, there is competition, both healthy and not so healthy, because for many it is business, profit and money, and there is no point in condemning it, because everyone is fighting for their place in the sun. The main thing is not to get lost in all this, but to listen to your heart and follow its call.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What’s your main goal for the year?
𝙋𝙊𝙒𝙀𝙍𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃: This year, I'm devoting more of myself to music, and in particular to writing. I'm trying a new sound for myself.

Q&A
𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧__: It’s a memory that only years of therapy could help me erase. But seriously—I think it was me playing at a corporate party, one of my many jobs ago. It’s all a blur, and I don’t remember enjoying it. Things are different now, of course. Let’s not talk about it :)
 
𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: DJing - A form of self expression or just a hobby?
𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧__: A form of self-expression? But also a hobby? Basically, it’s something that consumes 90% of my time and brainpower. I don’t know what you’d call it, but it’s my life.

𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧__: Making sure you take care of yourself—and your friends.

Originally rooted in Hamburg’s underground scene, Philipp Drube started to play gigs around 2011 before relocating to Berlin in 2013. From 2015 to 2020, he held a residency at Ismus and in 2018 founded the label Space Trax (https://soundcloud.com/space-trax) with fellow Frank Heise (https://soundcloud.com/fheise). His sets focus on different faces of Trance and have led to appearances at Berlin’s most established clubs and continuous bookings around the world.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙋𝙃𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙋𝙋: My first gig was at an open air in Hamburg. The weather was great, lots of friends were there and I was crazily nervous. But everything clicked, and afterwards I was full of adrenaline and happiness.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Label management, event organization, DJing - where is your personal comfort zone?
𝙋𝙃𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙋𝙋: DJing remains my main focus, as it’s been the most consistent part of my journey. That said, I truly enjoy working across all three areas and especially like to bring them together through curated label showcases.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What inspires you to keep going?

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What’s your connection to space?
𝙋𝙃𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙋𝙋: I’ve always been fascinated by astronomy and science fiction. Discovering worlds beyond our everyday reality gives me a form of mental escape, allowing me to break free from the present and get new perspectives. This fascination also laid the foundation for the label I am co-running — to channel visions of the unknown galaxy and future into a unified concept of music and design.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What’s your main goal for 2025?
𝙋𝙃𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙋𝙋: I finally want to visit South America.

Read the Q&A below! 👇 


Ukrainian-born, Berlin-based DJ NASTYA NVRSLP brings a raw and emotional edge to every set. Her sound fuses hypnotic techno, deep grooves, and high-energy rhythms, echoing both her roots and the underground.

Forced to leave Ukraine due to the war, she found refuge in Montreal, where she began her DJ career and quickly became a driving force in the city’s underground scene. There, she co-founded the Mutualite warehouse series - a collective rooted in community, resistance, and the raw spirit of Eastern European rave culture. Now, with the courage to start a new chapter in Berlin, NASTYA NVRSLP continues to evolve, bringing fresh inspiration and new goals into her artistic path. 

Her mix is a reflection of her journey - emotional, hypnotic, and charged with raw energy.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙉𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙔𝘼: I played a morning slot at the festival. It was pretty stressful, and honestly, I felt like I didn’t know what I was doing. I wasn’t happy with my set, but I got carried away by the emotions!

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Why did you decide to dj?
𝙉𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙔𝘼: Music has always been a part of my life. As a teenager, I had a band where I played guitar and sang backing vocals. Later, I moved to Kyiv and discovered the underground nightlife scene, which completely stole my heart. That’s when I knew I wanted to switch to DJing.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Your sets are very energetic. How do you calm down mentally?
​​𝙉𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙔𝘼: To be honest, it’s hard for me to calm down after a set. The energy, the adrenaline,it all stays with me for a while. I usually end up talking with my closest friends, just being around people who make me feel safe and grounded.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: You're moving from Montreal to Berlin. What's the main reason?
​​𝙉𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙔𝘼: The main reason I’m moving to Berlin is to grow as a DJ. There are simply more opportunities in Europe, especially in Berlin, compared to North America. I’ve been putting a lot of effort into my craft, and I really want DJing to become my full-time career.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Any other goals for the next time?
𝙉𝘼𝙎𝙏𝙔𝘼: One of my main goals now is to start producing and eventually release my first EP.

LY SAS - Berlin based Georgian DJ and producer - blends groovy techno with deep ambient and hypnotic synth layers, redefining modular techno. Her musical journey began with guitar and songwriting, evolving into electronic music through Prague’s underground scene. She’s released on labels like Different Sound and Brvtalist Sound Recording, collaborating with Ryogo Yamamori. From Bassiani to STAUB, her sets captivate, shaping immersive, transformative dancefloor experiences.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: How was your first DJ gig?
𝙇𝙔 𝙎𝘼𝙎: My first club gig was unforgettable. I still remember standing there, thinking if this is really happening? Just from mixing at home to now being on stage... It felt surreal. I was definitely nervous at first. I even messed up a transition early on and had that 'uh oh, maybe not today' moment. But then I told myself, just enjoy it. And that shift changed everything. Even now, those simple words fuel every set I play. It taught me that energy matters more than perfection.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Was there a specific moment after which you decided to make music full-time?
𝙇𝙔 𝙎𝘼𝙎: I don’t think there was one specific moment, it never really felt like a choice. I was always juggling different jobs alongside music, just figuring things out. But over time, music naturally started taking the lead. Gigs started coming in, and honestly, it’s hard to say no when the energy feels right. Now I’m grateful that most of my time is dedicated to music, connecting with like-minded people, and just growing with it all. It’s a journey, and I’m enjoying the ride.

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: What inspires you and gives strengths?
𝙇𝙔 𝙎𝘼𝙎: New music always sparks inspiration for me, it’s like fuel. The support from the people close to me gives me real strength, the kind that keeps you grounded when things get heavy. Life itself, human experiences, the ups and downs... all of that feeds into what I create. I’ve always seen myself as a fighter, and that mindset gives me energy to keep moving forward. I also love being out there, whether it’s jam session bars, underground metal shows, or live music festivals, different genres, raw vibes, real emotion... that’s where I feel most connected and inspired.


𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Berlin - your new home forever?
𝙇𝙔 𝙎𝘼𝙎: Berlin is definitely a forever home, and it feels like it always has been. But Georgia is home too, and I always make time to be there with family. This August, I’m spending the whole month there. Still, Berlin has this amazing energy and cultural richness that constantly inspires me to grow, in music and in life. It keeps pushing me in all the best ways. So the answer is - yes!

𝙑𝙎𝙇𝙆: Any big plans for the near future?
𝙇𝙔 𝙎𝘼𝙎: I’m really excited about the music I have coming out soon, there’s a lot in the works. I’m also deep into some new projects, label and can’t wait to bring them to life. And of course, there are a few amazing clubs where I’ll be making my debut... always a thrill to keep excitement going!

No Name Promo - In Bass We Trust Party

MAD ISH - deep dark drum and bass (for No Name Promo - IN BASS WE TRUST)

MAD ISH, formerly known as Ish Timelessness, is a dynamic and multifaceted DJ and electronic music artist. With over 14 years of experience in marketing, advertising, and event management, she has a deep understanding of the music industry, which complements her artistic career. Her journey through the electronic music scene began early in her life, influenced by iconic tracks and artists like Robert Miles’ Children, Darude, MJ Cole, Masterboy, Prodigy, Paul Oakenfold, Optical, Ed Rush, Black Sun Empire, Audio, Goldie, Pendulum, Oliver Lieb, Mauro Picoto etc.

After a seven-year pause, MAD ISH returned to music, reinventing herself with a new, faster sound. Now based in Czech Republic/Poland, she specializes in darker, high-energy styles like deep, dark, drum and bass, neurofunk, crossbreed, and technoid. Her passion extends to a variety of genres, from deep progressive techno to psychedelic trance, and even jazz, rock, and hip-hop. 

What she doesn't vibe with? Jump-up and dubstep. (sorry, not sorry😜)

Her sets are known for their deep, dark atmospheres, blending styles in an eclectic yet cohesive way. She's often described as a “musical wizard” or “musical witch” for the way she weaves together diverse sounds to create an almost otherworldly experience for listeners. Many European media outlets have recognized her talent, and she’s had appearances on global platforms like DI.FM, Kiss FM Australia, and Pure FM.

MAD ISH’s performances have graced venues across Kyiv and Western Ukraine, with major events like GOGOLFEST, KUPALA Fest, and Cinema Club. Her unique blend of styles has made her a sought-after artist for both club performances and festivals, as well as radio shows, where her “Dark Room” series is a fan favorite.

It seems like MAD ISH is all about pushing boundaries in her music while staying true to her roots in dark, atmospheric beats. Her evolution from Ish Timelessness to MAD ISH represents a bold step into a faster, harder soundscape that’s perfect for those who like to go deep and dance into the night.
