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.

The unstoppable mega talent Anetha joins us for the perfect mid-week pick me up with a deep and sweet mix for the LT Podcast series. The Mama Told Ya label head takes us on an intimate journey through old school classics and forthcoming unreleased gems from her label, all blended seamlessly and maintaining a high-energy throughout. Get stuck in!

In Anetha's Words:
For this one I came up with 1h+ that is a slightly different from my last couple of podcasts / mixes. Musically I went with a pretty high pace here but still keeping it on the deep, sweet & intimate side of things. 
The mix Is constructed of old time classics alongside a few upcoming (un)release(d)s from Mama told ya. It comes with an epic & nostalgic touch at the end, felt that it can't hurt at the moment. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.

Up next: a blistering B2B from Herrensauna residents CEM & Cadency

CEM B2B CADENCY | Boiler Room Festival | Day 4: Club

Swedish born SPFDJ is a renegade spirit and ruthless DJ. She describes her own style as "trashy" and has said before that she disregards anything that might sound happy. To that end, she brashly bangs together techno, EBM, acid, industrial and trance in provocative and confrontational ways. She does so at her residency at Berlin's Herrensauna and also runs her own Intrepid Skin label, both of which are defined by big, banging kick drums.  

And so is this mix. 75 minutes of blistering textures, serrated synths and hammering drums that make for an impenetrable wall of ever evolving sound. As unrelentingly forceful as it is, monotony stays at bay thanks to the quick mixing and variation in mood, from marching and militant to acid and electric. Strap in, hold tight, and prepare for the ride of your life.
