VisionsCast

Handle with care! In this mix, @genelle_dj serves what she does best: industrial techno with trancey melodies and occasional groovy interludes. Her sets, while demanding to dancers, provide exactly the release of bodily tensions building up in everyday life.

genelelle found her way behind the decks in 2017. Starting with melodic techno, she quickly discovered her dedication to the faster and darker sound and for now, has found her place to be in Hard Techno. Her sets are influenced by EBM, Techno, Industrial, Rave, and Trance – creating an impulsive and energetic atmosphere. Together with friends she founded @polyphonradio, which has established its reputation with various underground parties - first in Passau and Munich, and since 2022 also in genelelle's new hometown Leipzig.

As co-founder of the feminist initiative fem*vak, genelelle is fighting against sexism in the electronic music scene, while claiming more space for FLINTA* artists. Come dressed to sweat for genelelle at Kiek Beyond 2023!

Keex visits the Visionscast with a playful set, ranging from deep housy elements to funky piano lines. But attention: This one is a real groove machine! 
Starting the travel with more of a classic house selection, the set evolves to moments with acid leads and bass, never forgetting where it started though. This one would get every floor dancing, well, have a listen yourself and especially: have fun with set number 6 by Keex!

@keexdj is a co-founder of the DJ and arts collective @xcuseu that promotes FLINTA* artists and aims to integrate queer feminist perspectives in different aspects of club culture. Keex plays energising and cheerful sounds across the spectrum of house, and will dip into electro and breakbeat at Kiekebusch Lake.

Off goes the groove rocket! And this one's hot and energetic. Who's listened to BBY Gs set at our Kiek Beyond festival will remember the incredible mood and performance during the xcuse:u takeover. That felt like a show. This mood is now ready to be enjoyed at home. 

It's time to live the motto BBY G promotes: Twerk Life Balance. The drums and percussions are building the base, the vocals are setting the mood.
Get ready for BBY G singing the iconic "I wanna see the sunshine after the rain" and playing tracks by DJ Chus, INVT and Jesse Garcia.

xcuse:u collective founder BBY G and her crew are heading out to breath some fresh air into Berlin music & arts scene. Their goal of promoting flinta* perspectives in club culture is known and events such as at the "8-to-the-floor"-event at Alte Münze show that xcuse:u came to stay.

Love letter from DJ Chichi 💌

today is a special day, Chichi brings us flowers and pralines. Everyone who’s heard her play will know what to expect: A variety of well chosen records, played in a fine mixture of vinyl and digital. Nothing less than an hour of deep diving into soundscapes and emotions. A connoisseur set - wrapped with love, with tracks by Dj Plead, Acidfinky, Miles Amillion, David Löhlein and others.
You can almost grasp the concentration seeing Chichi play, leaving a remarkable feeling of seriousness about the craft. That is also what she transports while talking. She feels deeply connected to the scene, being the reason why her and the xcuse:u events are demanding change without just opening another hedonistic space. Having organized the 8-to-the-floor-event at Alte Münze, hosting a show on Refuge Worlwide, having played at OXI, Mensch Meier and our beloved Kiek Beyond Festival, Chichi has become a crucial part of the scene.

In episode 12 of the Visionscast, DJ Chichi moves around through genres and moods, from groovy percussions and vocal samples over deep house to proggy and breaky sections, presenting her whole toolbox of electronic joy. This joy has also reached Visionskultur, which is why Chichi has not only played one of the legendary B2Bs with BBY G at Humboldthain Club for a Visionskultur Club Night or taken over the Nest floor at our festival, but has also evolved to being a very much appreciated and loved human being <3

Ending on a very high note, VK Resident Manta closed the Dune Stage at our beloved Kiek Beyond Festival with this legendary set. Couldn't have wished for anything else. Happy to have it recreated for our VisionsCast series to enjoy some flashbacks at home. Emotional moments for everyone who has been there until the end, having memories of the whole Festival Crew on stage during "Gratitude Practice" by DJ Gigola. Opening with an edit of "Deixa a Gira Girar", moving into the iconic Terrence Dixon Remix of Efdemin's "America", Manta tells a story with a lot of different facets. While in the first half of the set Manta builds momentum by drawing inspiration from cultural and political connections, in the second half she delivers the sound you'd expect from Manta if you've heard her play before. Melodic, groovy, deep, acid infused synth lines, spacey pads and breaks. 

Chilean Italian DJ Manta is one of the founding members of Visionskultur and we're incredibly lucky and grateful to have her on board as a human being and of course, as a DJ and creative mind.

In this set, @fragile-status portrays a diverse selection of sophisticated breakbeat rhythms heavily influenced by the more experimental sounds of electro, drum & bass, jungle and garage. It’s rich in percussions and vibey melodies, with short ambient interludes providing a space for mental relaxation and reset. Including tracks by R&S Records and Seilscheibenpfeiler, this set is ideal for attentively listening at home or while traveling somewhere.

An engaging journey through the dynamic world of techno music. Starting with a captivating quote from the movie "Call Me by Your Name" setting a relaxed and introspective tone, @kubante gradually escalates in energy, weaving through a diverse range of sub-genres. The set features a blend of classic tracks from the early 2000s, infusing nostalgic beats with contemporary flair. Midway, it takes a turn towards electro, incorporating pulsating rhythms and more futuristic sounds. The finale is a crescendo into modern dark melodic techno – a high-energy, immersive experience that blends various styles and eras into a cohesive and thrilling set.

Join us on a journey through introspection's depths with VisionsCast 017, the latest mix curated by @sleeptwitch. It reflects the ebb and flow of the recent winter months, with vibes as dreamy as a perpetual daydream. Just before spring emerges, this atmosphere yearn to be shared with you all.

Sleeptwitch invites you to embark on an inward journey, drifting on a rock through time and space, and embracing the serene beauty of introverted introspection. The moods exude the nostalgic charm of old-school electro, the ethereal echoes of Detroit, and an enduring love for breakbeats.

Sleeptwitch is more than a DJ; she embodies a plethora of flowing creative energy. Whether crafting up a dreamy, floral set design or performing for us at Humboldthain, her presence is felt.

She hosts monthly shows on Cashmere Radio and Systems Radio and has established herself as a vital member of the community through her involvement with the @crushkollektiv, advocating for female and gender-expansive DJs and artists.

Nr. 20 is a spicy party recipe 🌶️ 
Solalex took his groovy Y2K tribal tech records and some new stuff out for us and they make a hot mix, which we love!

Digging early 90s progressive records and genre-curious excursions into all forms of groove, Solalex plays a sound inspired by the queer-futurist revolutionary spirit of underground raves. An advocate for the healing power of dance, Solalex blends cosmic, emotional, progressive trance with new age, world influence, organic instrumentation and percussion to cosmically align dancers with the stars and the earth. 

As a gemini and a bisexual man, he experiments with dualities by blurring the lines between genres to shine a light on #bivisibility in the scene and create space for all to dance freely.

US-born, Berlin-based Solalex co-hosts Starseeds with DJ Chichi, a party melding cosmic and earthly rhythms in queer friendly spaces in Berlin. On May 5th, Starseeds will host a Sunday afternoon party at Fitzroy in collaboration with London’s Fast & Bi-Furious collective, featuring Pjenné and Hanaby along with the residents of each collective.
