Berlin-based techno DJ Stella Bossi sharing her first memories of music, her first time raving in her room to Dune and crashing a Berlinale after-party DJ set. We dived into her process of making a song and how it is important to not limit oneself to listening to one genre. Also her collaboration with “Kit Kat Club Berlin” and her label “The Beat Must Fuck” which gives the power to the user. Her DJ sets are a pure reflection of herself: full of energy, surprise and spontaneity.

A talk with BabyNymph, a Russian producer and DJ based in Athens, on self-expression, bravery, originality, and pride. The need to enhance respect and equality is more topical than ever. June is just another excuse to celebrate the greatness of freedom. Happy Pride Month!

Maybe the only thing each of us can see is our own shadow. Not the exact image, but everything reversed or upside down in a story by June Tamò-Collin.

Together with local art students Jade, Emi and Molly we created a short story about the young queer community searching for their safe space around town. Emi: “London has always had a complicated relationship with queer identities, and as a queer person finding spaces to exist in comfortably is a task in itself. People will try to tell you the UK is a safe progressive haven for LGBT+people, but more and more gay clubs and spaces are being used by predatory creeps, trans people are waiting months for healthcare and hate crime is on the rise. As long as we’ve told there’s no space for us, we try to build spaces for ourselves.” Photographed by Tom Marshak.
