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.

Playing in bars and basements, from private parties to events in metro stations, including Lisbon, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Vienna etc.

DJ handbag is a commanding presence in Berlin’s underground scene, transforming dancefloors into sanctuaries of queer liberation and trans femme power.

With deep roots in the city’s nightlife - including a decade at Berghain’s door and harm reduction work with SONAR Berlin - she brings both street credibility and artistic vision to every set.

DJ handbag’s royal home, CUNTCORE, is where cuntyness meets its core: a community night with fierce energy, direct action and a dancefloor with purpose. It’s sweaty, tender, and unapologetically loud - built for queer bodies in motion and a crowd that knows pleasure can be political. @cnt.core lives in a fever dream of queer color. Deep reds, hot pinks and bruised purples pulse through the room - intimate, bold and a little bit dangerous. Every surface feels alive, dripping with attitude and raw possibility, like the night is daring you to come closer. With theatrical flair and intuitive crowd understanding, DJ handbag creates spaces where radical expression meets pure joy, where community forms through rhythm, and the dancefloor becomes collective empowerment.

From Berlin’s underground to international stages, she champions authentic queer electronic music experiences connecting past and present, politics and pleasure, resistance and release.

Immy is a lifelong student of music history with a big passion for the NYC music scenes from 1969-1999 focusing mainly the Disco & House scenes, especially the Loft and the Paradise Garage. She collects and plays everything from ambient, soul, funk, disco & reggae to house, techno, electro, hardcore and progressive trance. A firm believer that the dance floor can be a healing space, she often cuts and throws in acapellas in club sets where she sees fit to emphasize her storytelling.

When not behind the booth, she can be found as taking care of sound/archiving, doing artist care or spontaneously lending a hand at any functions she may be attending.

Immy is a music enthusiast raised in Canada and living in Berlin since 2009.
