Hello 🌺 This year, May 1 will be a blast. I'll be performing a DJ set full of unreleased tracks with a bunch of lovely artists and two of my favorite bass labels/ collectives in Berlin: @version111a & @drumsatwork_berlin Delete the Binary, Embrace the Breakbeat! Location: DM 15-22 h See you on the dancefloor 🌻🤗

Hi there, I played a set at Brazil's nicest radio station @veneno.live in São Paulo and am more than grateful for the invitation 😁 The city's music scenes and the people were the most diverse and kindest I've ever met 😍🌻 Here are some snippets from my performance in which I played lots of music from friends or people I recently hung out with... Ah and it was a pleasure to coincidentally bump into @tashlc with whom I performed at @yaam_berlin ages ago 😅 See you !

"Die Sonne scheint. Irgendwo da draußen ist immer ein Krieg. Ich habe das Gefühl, ich kann nichts fühlen. Ich kann das Nichts fühlen." Mein neuer Essay in der @taz.die_tageszeitung handelt von Trauer und Männlichkeit und Kunst und Rave und Ich und Du und all meine lieben Toten. Der nächste Essay für meine Kolumne wird sich dann wieder anderen Themen widmen, ich schwöre. Vielleicht.

👋 Beyond all the losses in my recent personal life, I try to enjoy making music and sometimes even DJing. Here's a mix I made for @noodsradio in October 2025 as part of our monthly @arcanepatterns show.

"Ich skippe zu einem Jungle-Track von Rufige Kru und dann zu Cardi B. Hi-Hats wirbeln um unsere Köpfe wie ein Schwarm Wespen um ein Glas Limonade. Ich denke: Alles ist möglich. Hier drin sein und an draußen denken. An die, die nicht hier sind. An die, die nicht mehr hier sind. Und an die, die von der Polizei mit Frisuren verprügelt oder vom Bundeskanzler beleidigt werden."

Mein Vater wuchs noch in Schwarz-Weiß auf. Als Kind bekam er nur Schokolade, wenn genug Kartoffeln und Eier zum Tausch da waren. Ich tauschte mein Leben auf dem Land gegen das in der Stadt ein. Ich wollte alles, was getrennt war, auflösen, Körper und Geist und vor allem: Arbeit und Leben. Meine neue Kolumne.
