¡MASH-UP! Queer-Feminist Party - We're Born to Shine

After an electrifying punk-rock night at Supamolly earlier this year, ¡MASH-UP! is back — this time stepping into summer with a lineup that is lush, eclectic and deeply queer. On Saturday, 13 June, the RaumErweiterungsHalle in Friedrichshain becomes our dance floor and safer space for one night.

And YES, we're born to shine!

LIVE MUSIC Kitty Solaris — Berlin’s “secret indie queen” — brings her signature blend of indie, lo-fi and electro. Her 2024 album James Bond (Solaris Empire) drew acclaim from Rolling Stone, Musikexpress and Deutschlandfunk Kultur, and its dreamy title track quietly became a radio hit. She performs fresh from her new vinyl release Modern Mantra, featuring the single “Ghostrider,” out via Ghost Palace Artist Society. @kitty_solaris

Frau Fisch feat. Laura.aLL bring electro-poetry to the dance floor. Frau Fisch is the stage persona of Caterina Renaux Hering — Fine Arts-trained at UDK — a self-taught composer and performer whose sound fuses analog synths with contemporary beats and multicultural rhythms drawn from synth-pop, electroclash and old-school Brazilian funk. Her strikingly unapologetic presence has made her a cult figure in Berlin’s underground and experimental scenes. On stage she is joined by Laura.aLL on guitar — a fellow artist, experimental musician and composer, and presenter of the radio programme Klang#030 on reboot.fm. @frau.fisch - @lauraleiner9911

DJs Laura de Vasconcelos brings her trademark house extravaganza — raw and sensual, fusing rock and disco into bassline-driven house and techno. A Brazilian Berliner and pillar of the city’s underground queer club scene, she dares you not to dance. @lauradevasconcelos

House of Grace is a Baiana DJ who has spent years moving between São Paulo and Berlin, and in 2025 celebrated 25 years behind the decks. From Watergate and Fusion to Central Park SummerStage, her journeys through acid, Chicago, tech, Latin and garage house — with hints of Brazilian bass — are viscerally contagious. @houseofgrace____

XD Erica is a DJ whose practice reaches deep into Black musical traditions — shaped, quite literally, by the Black Music balls her family organized in 1980s São Paulo. Drawing on Brazilian funk, techno, hard dance, and Latin peripheral sounds, and as co-founder of the collective Chernobyl, her sets celebrate queer and Black embodiment in all its power. @xd_ericaa

ABOUT ¡MASH-UP! ¡MASH-UP! Multigender/Multiworld is a Berlin-based queer-feminist party & cultural collective made up of BIPoC and white women*, lesbians, non-binary, trans* and agender people from different nationalities, backgrounds and belief systems. Since 2011 — starting with a truck at the Transgenialer CSD — we have been creating spaces where queer voices from the Global South become more visible and audible. Since 2016 we have organized regular club nights conceived as melting pots of culture, art, queerness and expression. Our parties are sexy, glittery and trash-glamorous; joyful and wild, while remaining attentive and caring.

Rather than defining ourselves as being "against something", we ask: what are we fighting for? We promote self-determination, self-confidence, openness, plurality and the protagonism of BIPoC women*, trans* and gender-diverse people — and we believe that togetherness is the most effective way to dismantle racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, sexism, heteronormativity, homophobia and transphobia, classism, lookism, ableism and prejudice in general, including within the queer scene itself.

AND SAVE THE DATE!!!

In 2026 we celebrate 15 years of the collective and 10 years of ¡MASH-UP! parties — and we are throwing a massive anniversary celebration at SO36 on 2nd October. An incredible lineup is coming. Save the date!
