critical P - Pelin The Douchebag

It‘s time! Our one year anniversary is just one week ahead. On the 16.05 at @bulbulberlin we are looking forward to a very special night with you, celebrating one year of Absynth and everyone who‘s been part of the journey! Photography credits (critical P|QS1) @thebigccheese @silkguillotine

3 years of Kedi Bounce 🎂 Our birthday celebration was exactly what we needed. The day flew by just like that. Every set felt unique, the crowd was amazing and the vibes were just right. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you team @rafikiberlin for this collab! Slide Nr. 5, our very first gig together, three people who had no idea they’d still be stuck with each other years later. Worth it though… still going & still building something we’re all proud of! And now, for our upcoming gig. We’re playing at @sonnenraum.berlin with @qs1berlin for an all house event on a holiday, daytime, with a lineup that has us genuinely hyped (@frei.geist @dj.northern @sparklingwater.dreams @saltyandsourrr ). This one means a lot to us! Presales are up, link in bio. grab yours 🖤 Previous artist pics from: @filmfallon.insta <3 New artist pics from: @silkguillotine <3 @thebigccheese <3 @noaibanezzz <3 (stylist)

We recently played one of the most inspiring and heartwarming gigs we’ve had in a long time. @dancinkindaclose courtesy of the @gemscrew was something truly special. One of our goals as Kedi Bounce has always been to play for a community of dancers who live and breathe this culture. To finally share our sound with people who express every beat through movement… The energy on that dancefloor was pure magic. The way you listened, the way you responded, the way you gave back! It reminded us why we do this. Why we play, why we obsess over grooves and why we believe in “hiss less, purr more.” Thank you for inspiring us right back. Leipzig, you were something else. 🐾✨ Until the next dance.

Drawing from the past with a raw, unpolished edge, @criticalp blends old-school groovy house with modern soul. Based in Berlin, she’s part of @kedi.bounce and has set dancefloors ablaze at Sisyphos, Renate, Tresor, and Watergate. She’s also a member of @ora_bln , a FLINTA collective, gearing up for house releases in 2026. Catch her at LIFTED on February 21 @bulbulberlin 🌿 #LIFTEDBerlin #housemusic #berlinnightlife #soulfulhouse #berlinclubs

We got the opportunity to shout out a few of our current favourite EP’s and LP’s. Thanks to @groove_mag for the opportunity! Go check it out and show the artists some love ❤️ follow the link in our bio. This weekend we’re playing in Leipzig for @dancinkindaclose . They’re organised by @gemscrew , a queer dance freestyle crew whose goal is to grow, connect and encourage with a dance oriented community. Lastly we have an exciting colab happening with @rafikiberlin later in April which we’re very excited for. @khadijasound had some something to say about it in the last slide. 🫶

KAT NIP Vol. 13 @paloma_berlin Friday, October 10 We’re back for Volume 13! Bringing another night of deep grooves, soulful energy, and that signature Kedi Bounce touch. This time, we’re thrilled to welcome two phenomenal artists who live and breathe the groove, each with their own unmistakable sound. Philippa Born in New Zealand, based in Berlin, Philippa has spent decades shaping her signature sound, rich, soulful, and built for the club. With releases on Freerange, Slothboogie, and Lazy Days, she’s a force in the international house scene, bringing uplifting energy wherever she plays. From Panorama Bar to Heideglühen, Sisyphos, and beyond, Philippa’s sets radiate warmth, groove, and pure class. Do You Know Juno A vinyl devotee with a deep love of jazz and rhythm, Juno blends nu-jazz, disco, house, and electronica into seamless, story-driven sets.

Expect timeless grooves, soulful flow, and a journey that moves both body and mind. Kedi Bounce Your feline hosts return to close the night in true Kedi fashion, weaving their signature mix of old school house, tribal, and soulful cuts to keep the floor glowing till the lights come on. 🖼️: @sungardenstudios Hiss Less, Purr More.

SAVE THE DATE 21/09/25 - @lark.berlin - 15:00-23:00 I missed organising events a lot recently, especially those in a more intimate and familiar setting. September being my favourite month of the year and usually the summer send-off, I decided it’s time for another daytime-dance gathering. I’ve curated a lineup consisting of artists who I believe have an exceptional taste in music and should be offered a stage to perform more often. These five magicians plus me will form three b2bs the city of Berlin hasn’t witnessed so far. @beryll_berlin [What Time Is Love] @__claraluise [Avontuur | CHROMATIK] @criticalp [Kedi Bounce | QS1] @frei.geist [Lengua Materna | QS1] @stbl_za @tavaoro [Avontuur] The event will be a fundraiser for @queer.initiative - the Georgian government is taking an increasingly authoritarian stance especially towards queer communities, which is why it’s becoming more and more important to support local actors who stand up to this. We dance together, we fight together 🇬🇪 Save the date, come around and bring your friends. See you on the dancefloor <3 All artworks by @dd.loe #killthesilence

We’re thrilled to announce our debut set in Acid Bogen @kater.berlin this Saturday! 🎉 Playing alongside an incredible lineup, it’s going to be a wild one. Catch us opening the night with a spicy Kedi Bounce special from 22:00–01:00. So let’s dance! 🔥 and as always remember to Hiss Less, Purr More
