OXI – Berlin

RA Tickets




Almost three decades in the game, Jane Fitz needs little introduction at this point: A long-standing resident at Freerotation and Pickle Factory in London, and co-founder of the long-running party Night Moves, Jane possesses an unparalleled knowledge of music and an ability to connect it in ways no other DJ can match. A prominent advocate of vinyl DJing and long-form sets, Fitz has undoubtedly shaped the recent resurgence in deeper, more psychedelic club sounds, setting a bar that's difficult to surpass.

Jane is back with us for the third year running, for a 5-hour extended set – along with our friends from Sound Metaphors, the much-loved Berlin record shop and prolific family of labels that are home to a sizeable proportion of the most essential music being released at the moment on vinyl. Since arriving in Kreuzberg ten years ago, founders Castro and Nemo have breathed new life into the Berlin scene, embracing the widest (and wildest) possible definition of club music and creating a community around their Kreuzberg shop with generosity, love and care, and most of all: a tireless dedication to dance.
    
At night, the legendary Alex Neri returns after his standout set last year, in which he stunned the X Floor with a masterclass in his unique style of tech-leaning house music, consisting almost entirely of his own private edits and productions. The Italian DJ, producer, and founding member of Planet Funk is the force behind the influential Tenax Recordings label, closely linked with the legendary Tenax Club in Florence, where he has maintained a residency for over two decades. His early productions in the '90s—particularly under aliases like Kamasutra—bridged progressive house with the emerging Italian deep techno sound, helping define a regional style that continues to influence club programming and label culture in Europe and beyond.

Alex is joined by Hypersoft residents TPR & DJ TEETH, and making their Hypersoft debut: Ms.G, the hotly-tipped London-based DJ who has been a mainstay of the London Queer scene for the better part of the last decade. A longstanding resident at Dalston Superstore, their sound draws from a rich tapestry of influences, from rolling house to trance and high energy, weaved together with classic UK motifs.

Meanwhile the O Floor plays host to a meeting of the minds with David Fogarty and Dama, the DJs behind Berlin-based record labels Transmigration and Evasione Digitale. Both labels have quietly become essential outlets for deep, exploratory electronic music, each shaped by the distinct curatorial voices of their founders. David, who runs Transmigration, has gained international recognition for reissuing obscure, often forgotten ambient and trance records from the ’90s, breathing new life into niche catalogues through careful restoration and thoughtful presentation. In parallel, Dama helms Evasione Digitale, the Berlin-via-Torino label devoted to the Italian progressive sound of the 90’s and 00's, which has released a steady stream of essential reissues from legends of the era including Marco Bellini and Andrea Giuditta.

Sound Metaphors DJs

Castro & Nemo, aka Sound Metaphors DJs, are the founders of the Berlin record shop and family of associated labels. Known for their expansive musical range and expert reissues spanning proto-house, Italo, and electronic obscurities, they are responsible for a sizeable proportion of the most essential music being released at the moment on vinyl. Over the years, their extended sets at Cocktail D’Amore and epic 18-hour New Years Eve closing of Lab.oratory have become the stuff of legend, while their regular full takeovers of its beloved parent club are perhaps the best curated parties in town.

Alex Neri
FOCUS

Italian house pioneer Alex Neri returns to the X Floor. The DJ, producer, and founding member of Italian electronic band Planet Funk is the force behind the influential Tenax Recordings, the label arm of the legendary Tenax Club in Florence, where he has maintained a residency for over two decades.


His early productions in the ‘90s—particularly under aliases like Kamasutra—bridged progressive house with the emerging Italian deep techno sound, helping define a regional style that went on to shape house music throughout Europe and beyond. His new music, on his own relaunched imprint Wildflower and Berlin-based label Slow Life, amongst others, is some of his best yet: emotive, timeless, groove-driven tech house that hits where it hurts in all the best ways, demonstrating exactly why Neri continues to be such a vital force in electronic music more than thirty years later.
Ms.G

A longstanding resident at Dalston Superstore, Ms.G has been a mainstay of the London Queer scene for the better part of the last decade, with a sound that draws from a rich tapestry of influences from rolling house to trance, high energy and progressive, weaved together with classic UK motifs.

O Floor: David Fogarty, Dama (00:00-05:00)


David Fogarty

David Fogarty is the DJ behind Berlin-based label Transmigration – an archive dedicated to reissuing temporarily lost or forgotten psychedelic electronic music. Founded in 2022, the label has gained recognition for breathing new life into niche catalogues – often forgotten ambient and trance records from the ’90s – through careful restoration and presentation to new audiences. Like many of the best record labels, Transmigration’s output is reflective of what you might hear in one of David’s DJ sets. Drawing from a wide-ranging record collection, he occupies a unique space that blends the deeper ends of house, techno, and trance, in a way that appeals to both large audiences and hardcore music nerds alike. It’s an approach that has seen him play the main rooms of both Bassiani in Tbilisi and Berghain in Berlin, as well as eclectic digger spots like Düsseldorf’s Salon Des Amateurs. 
Dama

Andrea Dama is an Italian DJ and producer based in Berlin. Since 2013, he’s been contributing to the local scene, starting with the now set-aside Oscillator party/label and the Dancing for Mental Health night at Sameheads. A long-time resident DJ at Cocktail d’Amore, he’s recognized for his eclectic selection and creative mixing style — and notoriously long back-to-back sets. An avid digger with 15 years of experience mixing vinyls, he’s always evolving into new sonic territories and novel ways of combining records. Refusing to be defined by genre, his intent is rather to create a vibe that feels mental and energetic, while intimate and organic, underlined by a leftfield, underground sound. Dama also runs his own labels, Protofuture and Evasione Digitale, which serve as a creative output for his own productions as well as various projects up his alley.
