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.

Kirill Shapovalov — Berlin based DJ, the artist and a prominent figure in the world electronic scene.

During the past few years, Kirill has toured through many European countries, becoming a frequent guest in such cities as Paris, Antwerp, Madrid, Tel-Aviv, Vilnius and Tbilisi. Concurrently the prolific artist has released a series of bright podcasts on such labels as Maricas, Pornceptual, Honey Sound System, Mixmag, Veneno Brazil and many more.

His live acts were fixed by authoritative international projects: Boiler Room, Rinse FM, HÖR, 20ft Radio, Test FM — these names can be said for themselves.

In the club culture, Kirill finds not only inspiration, but also a real, almost carnal passion. Describing his favorite music, he often uses the word "sexual," and treats his own performances as a kind of flirtation with the audience.

Kirill brings up the degree of musical arousal to maximum with the help of stylistic contrasts and graceful techniques. A burrowing acid, ecstatic trance drops, cosmogonic melodies and a 4x4 bass drum as a constant — that's the ecosystem that Kirill creates during his DJ sets. His acts exist somewhere in between techno and disco, however, you are unlikely to remember such details on the dance floor.

Mx. Sür — From Istanbul’s Underground to Berlin’s Queer Stage.

Mx. Sür (KIM), a visionary DJ, producer, graphic artist, and LGBTQIA+ rights activist, embarks on their next chapter in Berlin after profoundly shaping Istanbul's queer nightlife for nearly two decades.

Since 2007, Mx. Sür's boundary-breaking sets—from Detroit techno to synth-pop—have united dancefloors with messages of resistance, inclusivity, and freedom. As a key figure behind iconic venues like Wake Up Call, Suma Beach, and Mama, and the mastermind of queer party series such as Come To Mama!, TUTTIFRUTTI, and XES, Mx. Sür transformed nightlife into a radical cultural haven.

With the label XSM Recordings, they broadened the boundaries of queer expression. Their track “ALAN2020”, co-created with Kübra Uzun, became an emblematic anthem of pride and solidarity.

Their impressive global trajectory includes performances at beloved underground venues across Berlin, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Paris, and São Paulo — as well as a celebrated appearance on Boiler Room, where Mx. Sür brought Istanbul’s queer underground energy to an international audience.

Berlin-based, Irish-born DJ Petite shifts from the floor to the decks, delivering a charismatic exploration of sound that spans from ’90s house and progressive cuts to modern, booty-bouncing beats. Rooted in the pulse of Berlin’s dancefloors, DJ Petite’s style is shaped by the city’s raw energy and diversity. Their sets indulge a selection of sensual beats and uptempo rhythms crafted to move both body and mind.

Fuelled by a devotion to queer spaces, DJ Petite’s sets thrive where bodies move freely and the music lands with true emotional weight. It’s in these spaces that their sound feels most alive; intimate, euphoric and unapologetically free. Through residencies with Lunchbox Candy in Berlin and Kinky Sundays in Hamburg, DJ Petite explores a diverse range of sounds, always staying open to the evolving energy of the dancefloor.

Like many kids in late 80s/early 90s Belgium, AAGUILAA was captivated by the swirling innovation of EBM and New Beat. But only after experiencing the full-body feeling of italo disco and hi-NRG played over a proper soundsystem he matured his lifetime love for neon lights and for the darker, synthesized side of dance music.

He is resident and programmer at Los Niños but also known as the founder of FFORMATT, our temporary cultural space in the heart of Brussels, now closed.

You can listen to his vinyl & quality music selection on radio stations as Kiosk Radio, Red Light Radio, The Lot, We Are Various, East Side etc.
