The Stress is the DJ alter ego of Diederick van den Ende. Starting out in 2011, The Stress hosted Sunday afternoon chillwave / electro-pop parties in his hometown Utrecht and started DJ’ing. While the nu-disco wave spread across Europe, The Stress played his first gigs in Amsterdam. It was here that he developed his taste for progressive disco, mixed with queer-, vogue-, house-, internet-, new beat-, and electro-influences.

The Stress is resident DJ for the Amsterdam based queer family UltraSexi and a regular for our parties.

Because of The Stress’ involvement in activism and academia, The Stress solely plays for queer, pride and intersecting causes worth supporting.

Your House-Music Extravaganza. Your Disco Queer. When Laura steps up to the decks, she dares you not to dance!

Brazilian based in Berlin, Laura has been playing her trademark brand of house-classics, raw and energetic sets she has become synonymous with. In her carefully curated vinyl-collection and in her ability to fuse rock and disco to a bassline-driven house and techno, her sound is unmistakable, her dance-floor is always sensual, fierce and fun!

A thoughtful multidisciplinary artist, with a constant need to create, Laura has recently self produced and shot a series of music-videos. Love letters to both her birthplace and her adopted city, they eloquently showcase her ability to tell a story, never missing an opportunity to uplift and spotlight the work of other artists and collaborators alike, all the while accompanied by her signature nostalgia.

Olof Dreijer is a music producer, DJ, musician and member of the Swedish electronic pop group, The Knife. Olof has been pushing the borders of electronic music for two decades, trying to keep things fun and colourful.

A fledgling DJing career commenced around ‘98 at local school parties, and Olof was soon up and running his first club night focussed on Disco, House, Garage, and Drum n' Bass during his high school years. By the early 2000s, Olof moved into playing Hip Hop and R&B before a period invested in hard Techno, acid house, EBM, Shranz and even Trance. Over the past decade, when he’s not been too busy producing music in the studio, Olof has been DJing throughout Europe at clubs and festivals such as Panorama Bar, Dalston Superstore, Dekmantel Festival, Unsound and Club2Club London. 2023 saw Olof co-found Bamba Club, a local Stockholm club night with friends to play the music they like to dance to themselves with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Current Olof Dreijer DJ sets feature a tight multi-deck mix of all kinds of grooves he likes to dance to himself, ranging from funky Techno and melodic house to Baile Funk and Batida with a few cheeky acapellas thrown in for good measure. This can be seen in his DJ set at HÖR’s Radar stage at 2023’s Dekmantel Festival, as well as heard on guest mixes for NTS Radio and Hessle Audio’s Rinse FM show.

At the turn of 2010, Olof started working under the secret pseudonym, Oni Ayhun, to release music that explored different kinds of more experimental directions and play with gender, trying different ways of being in drag and fun set designs. One of the first Oni Ayhun shows, at Berghain/Panorama Bar in 2010, featured a stage made of fluorescent green walls covered with landscape paintings and a table covered in golden cloth, with Oni clad in a sculpture-like rococo outfit. Subsequent performances saw Oni Ayhun bring their show to Tokyo’s Liquid Rooms, London’s Corsica Studios and Italy’s Club2Club festival.

A small catalogue of self-released Oni Ayhun singles complemented by remixes for Honest Jon’s Shangaan Electro project, Macro and Kontra-Musik have established the project in the modern experimental music canon.

In 2015, Olof collaborated with studio partners Paula Temple, rRoxymore and Planningtorock on the Decon Recon project. Founded by Temple to play with hierarchies in the electronic music world, Decon Recon toured throughout Europe and Mexico, whilst music released under the name was made with a communal pool of sounds, not knowing who had done what. Nowadays, Olof is mostly active with making his own music, producing and remixing other artists, and teaching music. Olof co-produced several tracks on Fever Ray’s critically acclaimed 2023 album Radical Romantics, produced Tunisian multi-instrumentalist and composer Houeida Hedfi’s debut album Fleuves De L'âme, as well as music by Planningtorock and Konichiwa Records’ Swedish-Kurdish pop artist Zhala. Fever Ray, Nine Inch Nails, Röyksopp & Robyn and Ti Chuong are among the artists to have been blessed by an Olof Dreijer remix.

2023 saw Olof return with a first taste of new solo music, releasing the Rosa Rugosa EP on the celebrated UK label Hessle Audio, the title track described as ‘an unconventional summer banger capable of carpeting the dancefloor in dazzled smiles’ by Pitchfork. This was complemented by the release of Souvenir, a long-gestating project with fellow producer Mt. Sims which centres around the rich harmonics of the steel drum. Further solo music from Olof Dreijer is planned in the coming months.

Alex and Afonso are from Lisbon. They moved to London in 2013 and started deejaying in two years later at the glorious (now closed) The George and Dragon. From then on they have played at some of the most effervescent club nights in London (Sassitude and LOVERBOY, amongst others) including RAD FESTA, their own party. Their Belgian debute will be at Les Bals.

What to expect? D I S C O . Think Diana to Donna, Michael to Madonna, The Pointer Sisters to The Scissor Sisters.
