Boris, the long-standing Berghain resident, is deeply committed to the captivating magic that unfolds on the dance floor. This burning passion within him sparks a longing to shape, tease and playfully amplify the intensity of the dance floor action. With over two decades of experience as a producer for the likes of Ostgut Ton and Careless and as a DJ, he remains an unwavering, yet never predictable, mainstay.
Renowned for his extended, scorching techno closing sets, Boris is one of the most well-versed and dedicated protagonists in Berlin's vibrant queer electronic scene. However, to pigeonhole Boris only to Berlin would be doing him a disservice. In fact, his visits to legendary clubs like Paradise Garage and the Loft in New York City have left an indelible mark on his persona and DJ style.
Imagine the euphoric sounds that created a sense of belonging and ecstasy in Boris's heart while experiencing the massive pumping sound and welcoming community feeling at NYC's clubs. He brings this same warmth and playful energy to dance floors worldwide. His infectious style makes it effortless for clubbers to lose themselves in the music and partying, earning him a loyal following within the queer scene - and beyond.
Whether he's playing small, intimate clubs, festivals, or his prestigious residencies such as Berghain, Faust in Seoul, or House of Mince in Sydney, Boris has the gift to take people to another state of mind where nothing matters but the music and the moment.

Reflecting the Turkish word for ‘different,’ BASHKKA’s name highlights her one-of-a-kind presence. Her sets, known for their daring and incisive flair, captivate audiences, while her advocacy for the cultural and political evolution of electronic music brings a revitalizing, forward-thinking energy to the scene. From her residencies at HAMAM Nights and Munich’s Blitz Club to her solid footing as a regular at Berghain’s Panorama Bar, BASHKKA’s sound exudes a powerful energy she confidently dubs “unapologetically CUNT.”

Irreversibly shaped by a decade in New York City—a place she describes as her rebirth—this period has been pivotal to BASHKKA’s creative and personal development. In a city where cultures intersect, diversity thrives, and LGBTQIA+ history is sacred, the impact on her artistry has been profound.

Outside the DJ booth, the Munich-born and raised artist’s resolute integrity fuels her activism and devotion to her community. Her passionate support for SWANA and queer voices, along with her tribute to dance music culture rooted in Black and Brown communities, redefines electronic music’s rebellious spirit for today’s nightlife. With her debut EP "Maktub" claiming the number one spot in 2023 and taking the music scene by storm, BASHKKA has firmly established herself as a trailblazing producer. Her ability to effortlessly fuse bold creativity with technical mastery is showcased in her impactful collaboration with Sedef Adasï for renowned fashion designer Dilara Fındıkoğlu, as well as in her numerous cutting-edge remixes that don’t just resonate—they set the bar!
