Description
Herrensauna’s exemplary run continues unabated. Back for their first event since their incredible Pride takeover, the crew represents with an unstoppable lineup of core residents and guests. MCMLXXXV’s capacity for lithe, simmering psychedelia sets the Berlin selector apart. For years, the Herrensauna co-founder has honed a style that bristles with raw sensuality and carefully curated eroticism. Subverting expectations while putting his own singular stamp on every mix, MCMLXXXV imbues his sets with a delicious darkness. DJ Saliva is another central member. Tapping a seething electro power, Saliva twists the dancefloor into knots with a precision honed wildness. The Portuguese artist knows just how to inject a cheeky taunt or a moment of total destabilization right in the heart of a set, always pushing the dancers closer to the edge. Bapari returns to the room. While their “Stamina” EP reveled in rave sonics, this year’s “Evermore” sees Bapari diving into the shadowy waters of downtempo, with stunning results. The Haitian-American artist is a talent whose work cannot be contained in a single genre.
CEM’s singular knack for twisting bass pressure, devious rhythmic inventions and high BPM glides has made him one of the most unique DJs to grace STUDIO. The Herrensauna co-founder brings a fearless depth to his selections and an indelible grace to his blends. A lesser artist would get lost in the weeds of CEM’s sprawling collection, but he weaves together disparate strains with a sublime clarity. Eau de Cologne founder Natuta embodies a raw and sleazy power. Swerving between bumping house, leftfield electro and saucy edits, Natuta cuts straight to the chase. Fresh off another standout edition of WHOLE Festival - which he helps organize - Jacob Meehan swings through to lay it down. The air will be thick for this one; Meehan is a proponent of classic queer clubbing lineages, going all the way back to disco’s heyday and Chicago’s formative house music revolution. Summer will already be on its way out, but Meehan will turn the room into a sauna in no time.
