club night with Khadija Al Hanafi, quest?onmarq and more!

Celebrate and honor the creativity and talent of inspiring DJs, artists, and producers with us. This night is about giving the stage to legends, centering their experiences and interpretations of a relatable club-culture.

The sonic exploration takes you on a journey from footwork to breakbeat; electro-, bass-, trap-influenced productions to techno. From Tunis to New York to Zurich, the common denominator is the dedication to the craft and pushing the boundaries of fearless music. An appreciation for community and a commitment in honoring cultural stewards.

Tunisian producer Khadija Al Hanafi is starting her first EU-Tour in Zurich with us! Her unique and innovative sound of sampling trap, R&B and lounge jazz into blissed-out footwork and jungle breaks makes her a standout voice in her very own genre. 

quest?onmarq’s sound is deeply rooted in the new york underground and her genre-bending mixes from techno, UK funky, ballroom, grime and metal making her an amorphous and adaptable artist. She is resident at New York’s Paragon nightclub, played at Berlin’s world renowned clubs and festivals such as CTM Festival and presents twice monthly on Rinse France. 

Alongside Khadija and quest?onmarq, we are very proud to present you the local heroes pr1nc1p3ss4, buatoma, xol4ni (live), Leila Moon and baby vouithu.

This event, which warmly welcomes all people and communities, aims to center and bring together people from marginalized/minority communities (e.g. women, non-binary, non-white), resist oppressive structures and celebrate joy.  We will not tolerate any form of harassment or discrimination based on ethnicity, sexuality, gender, religion, ability or age. 

22:30-07:00

curated by Sarah Cissé and Vithursan Nellinathan.

pr1nc1p3ss4 's sets are filled with sounds of different genres; sometimes stirring, sometimes dreamy - in any case always surprising. Pr1nc1p3ss4 brings technoid, electronic beats into harmony with rap, dancehall, baile tracks - accessible, dancey, cheeky.

Buatoma's music finds its home in afro-influenced electronic beats, breakbeats, and experimental sounds, often drawing inspiration from trap and drill. His music is a unique blend that pushes boundaries and keeps listeners engaged. 

Xol4ni's mesmerizing music pulses with a crackling intensity, resonating deeply within the body. Moving within the fringes of hip-hop, Xol4ni creates a unique and powerful sound along with a incomparable and unpredictable flow that seeps in like an IV, laden with punchy bass beats, distorted tones, and raw, purging energy utilizing eerie ambient and electronic melodies to forge his own world within his sound. The lyrics, whether chanted or whispered, seem to have a lot to do with past experiences, medical/pychological elements and pays homage to ancestral spirits .

Leila Moon is an international DJ, resident at radio Alhara, producer and coach. She mixes her favorite tracks of various genres, capturing her current mood and state of mind. Her North African heritage has influenced all of her work and can‘t go unrecognized during her performance. Main genres: Drum 'n' Bass, Breaks, UK Bass, Raï, Mahraganat, electronic +++

baby vouithu’s sets are groovy, dirty and always with an underground & explicit twist. His track selection is predominately centered on, but not limited to genres like techno, electro, house, bass, breaks, footwork and rap and is an attempt to add another layer of cultural references to electronic music. While hip hop and rap has predominantly shaped his references, he is most interested in challenging the boundaries of electronic music, and bringing the different influences together.

Khadija Al Hanafi Born and raised in Hammam-Lif (حمام الأنف); she is now based in Tunis, the capital and largest city of Tunisia. Khadija interprets and blends various Electronic Music styles together like Footwork, Jersey Club, Drum&Bass, and much more… Steering away from defined genres, she pushes deep into a sound that is completely her own. Her tracks have been described as "soft psychedelic " and "hard hitting club heaters" adequate for headphone listens as much as dance floor battles.

quest?onmarq is an amorphous and adaptable artist. Balancing a insatiably curious passion toward a very vast sonic palette, production and dextrous deejaying – are the simple intentions that have guided the newly Berlin based artist from the dancefloor to the dj booth collecting several accolades so far along the way — this artist is one of Mixmag’s top 25 to watch in 2022, celebrated as “one of NY’s most fearless” by FACT and cited as a “one of a kind New York DJ” by Resident Advisor.
