HERRENSAUNA SHOWCASE +010010*

CEM CEM has risen to prominence through the infamous underground parties of Herrensauna, carving a unique path as a fierce club DJ unafraid of delving into moody dancefloor experiences. As one of the three core members of Herrensauna, CEM has been at the heart of the operation since its inception, playing a vital role in its critical contribution to Berlin's queer community and their raw italo-metal aesthetic. Herrensauna reflected 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. This journey led the party to find its place at Tresor, solidifying its position as a distinctive addition to Berlin's nocturnal landscape. CEM's influence extends as both a curator, expertly blending frenetic DJs and industrial-edged live performances, and as a resident DJ, where his enigmatic presence and eclectic selection offset the sheer pace of Herrensauna's preferred grade of techno. With an unrivaled ability to cultivate intensity on the dancefloor, CEM's decade-long immersion in queer club culture which started in his hometown Vienna, alongside a punk upbringing, has endowed him with the essential skills to ignite unrelenting after-dark commotion.

Her relocation to Berlin marked a turning point in her career as she actively delved into DJing within the city's electronic circuit. JASSS's artistry extends beyond DJing and live performances, as she has embraced artist-in-residence positions at prestigious institutions like EMS in Stockholm, Galeria Zé dos Bois in Lisbon, and the Berlin-Rom Express recording artist residency at Villa Massimo curated by Carsten Nicolai (AKA Alva Noto).
