FIST kicks off their first night of 2026 with a belter. Stockholm-via-Berlin phenom madwoman returns to the room. She’s an artist renowned for her fusion of mercurial depth with granite-thick percussion, and you can tell from her titles alone: madwoman’s debut LP is named “Psychedelic Force,” and that term could double as a mission statement. Across releases on labels like BPitch Berlin and The Brvtalist, madwoman has staked her claim on modern techno, pursuing a fusion of mercurial depth and hard-edged, steely weight. Fast Forward mainstay Mohajer returns to the club. The MP3 club night founder has been blazing a trail across Europe and the world. The Swedish-born producer has a gritty edge that cannot be denied. “It all started when I was 14 in my punk rock era,” she admitted in an interview. Some things never change. Residents Word of Command and DJ Clone take up their posts alongside her. In their tenure as organizers and residents, each has established themselves as a selector of devastating power. And each embodies the twin poles of transgression and fun espoused by the series, leveraging full throttle, noise-caked techno on one hand and surprising twists on the other. London’s rave-revivalist Angel D’lite makes their debut. A force in their hometown, D’lite has gained renown as a dancefloor-whisperer with a unique ear. “A lot of my friends say that I have a talent for finding tunes that are really on the cusp, you know?” they told RA. “That are a bit like, 'Is this awful or is this actually incredible?'" D’lite co-organizes the Temple of Dreams party alongside Eris Drew, curating a free space for the joyously unhinged, manically grooving and ecstatic across all genre lines. State of Bliss’ Ian Crane returns to the room to do what he does best. Crane has become a regular face in STUDIO, and with good reason. He’s particularly well-suited to the ethos of the room, offering a fresh perspective on buoyant house and its many offspring. “High-energy, rhythm-driven pressure” - that’s how Josh Steers describes his sets. Splitting his time between CDMX and NYC, with a touring schedule that spans the globe, Steers weaves thundering club sounds from across both hemispheres into a single unified vision. ■ No photos or videos ■ Ticket purchase does not guarantee entrance ■ No phone use on the dancefloor ■ The dance floor is for dancing, not conversation ■ No glowing/flashing clothes or items ■ Respect other people's space, no shuffling ■ Consent is mandatory ■ Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any form of discrimination ■ Take care of each other, alert our staff if somebody isn't feeling well ■ Violating the house rules will result in removal PLEASE REVIEW HOUSE POLICIES AT LINK BELOW
