Metropole Virus
They met beneath the city—beneath the clubs, beneath the gloss.

One was a dominatrix known only as Ryn Vanta, with a voice like crushed velvet and a taste for sonic pain. She ran a masked lounge in Frankfurt’s red-light shadows, where men paid for control and left broken by silence. The other, Nova Skeld, was a dancer turned data-runner in the Bahnhofsviertel, trafficking glances and synth packets across latex alleys and glitch-lit strip bars.

They collided at 4AM in a backroom booth—Nova mid-rush, Ryn mid-set—surrounded by pulsing strobes and bodies chasing chemical escape. No pleasantries. Just eye contact, and the mutual recognition of the kind of loneliness that sells out nightly but never cashes in.

That same week, Nova sampled Ryn’s whispered monologue and looped it through a trance beat tracked over CCTV hum. It hit like perfume and concrete. They locked themselves in a neon-stained studio above a brothel in Kabukicho and started turning trauma into sound.

What They Became
Genre: Dance/trance noir with industrial bruises and seductive decay

Aesthetic: Glitch lace, strobe seduction, cybernetic cabaret

Message: Pleasure is political. Music is memoir. Shame is currency.

Live Shows: Masked rituals. Intercut sex worker testimonials. Surveillance visuals. Strip-club hymns with synth breakdowns.

In a world where so much is in a state of boiling over, where we are bombarded with so many overwhelming stimuli, so much ego and abuse of power, it is very important for us to find our own inner peace. World peace begins with inner peace! With this dance wave, I have created a journey for you that will help you dance your way to inner peace. Just let yourself go and maybe it will work.

This dance wave has a very special track selection, inspired and healed for my personal development, the magical experiences and encounters during this wonderful summer full of valuable lessons. These have helped me to find more and more of my own peace. Maybe you can also take something from it that will help you find and feel yourself and your peace.

Here is my background as a DJ
​
Since my early youth, I have been infected by the fever of electronic music. The legendary times of the nineties in East Germany shaped my musical taste. I was particularly hooked on GoaTrance and its culture back then. So I became a DJ - first with vinyl, then with CDs and now with USB sticks - and very quickly had a lot of gigs in Germany. I also found my passion for organizing parties and founded the collective “Insulin Productions” with friends, with whom we combined techno, PsyTrance and drum & bass at our parties.

​In 2001, the “Gaggalacka” was born, which was my small birthday open-air party for the first few years and grew more and more into a playful, family festival over the years. Since 2021, the next generation has taken over the festival and continues to organize it in their own way. Over the past two decades, I have lived my passion for creating compilations, DJing at various parties and festivals, and organizing events with every fiber of my body.

​My path to conscious dancefloors
​
After more than 25 years in the depths of the underground of the psytrance scene and a life between nights and festivals, the desire for personal development grew in me. I have always been fascinated by music that is suitable for conscious dancefloors - and many of these tracks have already found their place in my ChillOut sets over the years. But it wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered ecstatic dance and sober raves - events and ceremonies which you celebrate in a mindful and connected way. This is how I found my way to not only continue living my passion as a DJ and dancer, but to shape it as a healing path.

​Merry:) now as Ecstatic DJ
​
There are many musical interfaces to electronic and psychedelic music here, which I want to continue to live out passionately and with which I want to make dance floors happy. My own musical trance “stamp” will be unmistakable with my music collection, which has grown over the years and is constantly expanding. On the other hand, I love to create musical journeys - without limits - and to take the conscious dancefloor with me. Whether it's an ecstatic wave, a groovy downbeat set or even an euphoric techno/trance set - I'm looking forward to every opportunity that arises in the future, every encounter and every dancefloor, every cocoa ceremony and what can grow out of it...
