Haven is a place of safety, warmth, and comfort. 


Something a little different from my last few mixes - many of you know me for faster uptempo club mixes, but I also love and dig a lot of slower hypnotic tracks since I started DJing in 2007. I wanted to make a paced-out mix that I could really sink into and feel safe to tap into states of intimacy and warmth.

This mix was recorded on July 26 during one of Clara Tatjana and I's long music sessions in my studio. We were jamming to tunes and she contributed many awesome selections to the tracklist <3

With the current wave of lockdowns and many gig cancellations, I thought it fitting to share this feeling as we all incubate for the next.

This week’s DETECT comes from one of our own. @teecra opened our UNFOLD XL edition four weeks ago from our Second Room, and we bring you this today. 

Teecra’s presence is most visible at UNFOLD either at the entrance or the floor, yet she also plays a big part helping behind the scenes, from our communications to our marketing.

Years of organising house and drum & bass raves in North London gradually introduced her to techno, and these influences are still felt today in the bouncy, positivity exerted by the music she plays.

Her own drive in life comes from a desire to demonstrate that trans people come in many forms - that there is no one way to be trans. 

For her UNFOLD XL opening set Teecra initially delves into trance, dub and percussion, before ramping up the energy and exploring the many varied grooves of techno. This DETECT can now be heard on our FOLD SoundCloud.

Artistas como Aphex Twin, Helena Hauff, Autechre, Surgeon, Óscar Mulero o Drexciya han inspirado a esta prometedora DJ para empezar a hacer música y tocar, así como su profesor de producción musical Error Etica, quien tuvo un gran impacto como mentor. Muy influenciada por la narrativa y los paisajes sonoros más que por el género; de electro a IDM, de IDM a techno; siempre tratando de sorprender y hacer viajar a su público.

Blawan b2b JASSS at Draaimolen Festival 2022

"You realise you're not just playing music. You give people the power to empower themselves." Cofounders CEM and MCMLXXXV discuss the revered party series and its fledgling label.

Berlin queer party Herrensauna—which means "men's sauna" in German—started as a seed of an idea shared between friends Cem Dukkha (AKA CEM) and Nicholas Endlicher (AKA MCMLXXXV). They were teenagers in Vienna at the time, dreaming of becoming DJs in Berlin. When they finally relocated, they started throwing parties in the basement of a Neukölln off-location. This quickly snowballed into a residency at Tresor, and now a globally recognised brand that curates lineups at clubs and festivals around the world and counts Salome, SPFDJ, Héctor Oaks, JASSS and DJ Saliva as residents.

In this RA Exchange, hosted ahead of Herrensauna's curated night at Wire Festival in New York, CEM and MCMLXXXV spoke with senior producer Chloe Lula about the party's origins and how its mission has changed, shifting from focusing on gay men to championing an all-inclusive vision of queerness. They also discussed their artwork and aesthetics—including their provocative re-appropriations of quasi-religious iconography—as well as the role that platforms like theirs have in shifting the cultural zeitgeist and attitudes towards the LGBTQIA+ community. Listen to the episode in full.

"Under the @decemberxxx alias, Tomas More has found the perfect balance between his slow and gloomy techno cuts. Electro punk, new beats, wave and techno influences - his signature sound is filled with references, from minimal drums to 80s industrial music.

Catch December every 4th Monday of the month, from 22h to 00h [CET] on rinse.fr"

We are happy to have Anna Laura joining us for this podcast to discuss her career as a female, non-european, queer DJ, and how she makes space for minorities within the scene.

About UY’s Pride Podcast:

At UY Studio we work hard to ensure an environment where all feel welcomed, represented and included. Queerness is within our brand DNA, everything that we do at our studio is aimed towards expressing these values and representing the LGBTQI+ community. July is Pride month in Berlin and we have decided to raise our collective voices a bit louder…

We wanted to share the conversations of UY beyond the studio… Conversations about our shared queer experiences, the importance of active representation, and the needs of the LGBTQI+ community.

These conversations within our team and community are ongoing daily discussions which push and inspire us. We want these intimate moments over the years to reach a wider audience, to magnify the voices of the LGBTQI+ community, and to encourage more PRIDE!

The guests for our podcast were selected due to their past connection with UY Studio as well as their active participation in working towards inclusivity and equality for the LGBTQI+ community
