Sweaty, sexually charged techno from Berlin’s Herrensauna resident

Through Herrensauna, the party he co-runs in Berlin, CEM has built up a formidable reputation as a techno DJ in his own right. Taking inspiration from the male sauna party scene, Herrensauna has fast become one of the most notorious queer parties in the German capital thanks to its liberal attitude, dark, labyrinth-like venue and a fitting soundtrack of muscular techno that encourages complete abandon.

CEM’s style as a DJ reflects the environment he and his friends have made for themselves – it’s a steamy, intense sound that cries out for dimly-lit spaces where bodies collide. It’s a formula that strikes a chord with nocturnal dancefloors far beyond Berlin – his gig schedule has been on a steady increase since Herrensauna’s inception. No doubt when he arrives on the Studio X Floor for the Terra Incognita party, the same atmosphere will take over the club thanks to the infectious approach he takes.

On the Contact floor, midweek regulars Qualia will be providing a foil to the sweaty intensity of the main room with an exploration of the deep, immersive end of the techno spectrum.
