with 4 weeks left in berlin, and moving almost exactly to the day 7 years after I first moved, I feel really touched to be able to participate so often in such different kinds of club gatherings.to witness and embrace the rebirth of @tracey.club, to bathe in the light and graciousness they have carried through a very unfair, harsh and abrupt end;to have a full circle moment playing Kit Kat Club for @gegenberlin - the first party I ever attended first time I visited this city; to play @rama_____forever with my musical soul sister Gail Force One, a gathering thrown by what I consider one of the brightest sonic minds in Berlin - @sommefarris , to playing one of the sickest venues Sonneraum for the sweet and ravey @daycare_21, to return to Aeden, truly one of the last standing bonafide Berlinesque clubs for the very hard working and sweet angels @cuddles_brl, to play my last gig as Berlin resident at Paloma Bar, a venue I spent countless school nights out of my mind building friendships and memories that still feed me, for one of the most ever important type of fundraising events - for trans people to get what they need and should just simply have access to, organised by one of the fiercest DJs in town and bonafide OGs in the Berlin scene, @handbag_dj, who always took care of me even when she didn’t know me. It’s a perfect wrap up that I couldn’t have planned better myself. And for my own rebirth, right after moving,I play my first @club.raum All Night Long. To cast spells, build bridges and open portals to whatever may come.Please join me at any if not all of these remaining moments. While I won’t stay away from Berlin for long, this does feel like the end of an era.xxxxx <3 by @ketia4ever

rarely post RAVE moments these days as I believe they are special because they are ephemeral but it brings me to tears seeing the energy here 😭💔 playing vinyl has cured and grounded me in ways I never expected and meant a lot to do my first solo all vinyl set 🫠I only play this track if im fully comfortable and for a crowd that has earned it. I closed an important set with this one, a lifetime ago, that opened a lot of doors for me and surely without that set I wouldn’t be here today. recharged my necklace amulet with kisses, rubs, sweat and tears. it always keeps me safe worldwide with the energy of moments like this encapsulated within it.thank you @smut_press @houseofgaffe for creating the context wherein this music can be understood, felt and celebrated ❤️‍🩹and to the dancers for receiving it and making this music come aliveI FEEL IT (yeaa) by @ketia4ever

words fail me here. kyiv is the one place I go speechless. and while it feels like I have said it all before, every time it feels different and unique.I’m always in awe, humbled and swooned by the endless amount of beauty I see everywhere I look, inside or outside of the club. I will say this: I have never seen a waterfall at a club dripping onto a dancefloor before. and even though I have closed a backyard during a storm, the downpour our was never to this extent. your dedication to the RAVE experience baffles me… the unbridled joy you showered us with, soaking wet, stomping, smiling ear to ear, bathed in the smoke red thunderstorm lighting, it truly felt like a movie. I’ll never forget it.you are the most generous dancefloor community. it was extra special do spend Pride with you. the way you express yourselves through clothing, affection, while dancing, feels so queer and raw and more genuine and authentic than anywhere else. and you do it so under 1lleg4l occupation, with kind brave hearts.aaaand you are the best gift givers 🥺 always bringing home so many memories to add to my Київ altarthis time I could feel people are more tired than before. it’s been too long since Inv4sion. but I send you love and ask you to stay strong. I hope these moments on the floor with you help you stay strong and dream about a better future as much as it helps me. I always feel stronger after coming here.soon we will be free. and when it is over, we will celebrate. 4ever.дякую 💙💛люблю тебе xoxo кетя by @ketia4ever

all I can think about lately is how Trans R1ghts are being taken away left and right everywhere. in Portugal, where I’m from, the self determination law has been generally revoked and conversion therapy is up for reinstatement. in the US bathroom laws are being pushed, awarding bounty rewards to those who report trans women and even adding jail time if you use the ‘wrong’ one. and I can’t help but feel like everyone around me simply shrugs and says ‘oh well, the times are hard’. and I have domesticated myself and learned to be more private about my own journey with transness because I was tired of how much being non binary invited suspicion, accusation, disbelief and confusion. but it informs my whole existence to my very core. it’s melted and weaved together with everything within me and more. it’s my favourite thing about being alive and the trans people in my life that see that have saved me daily. why talk about this on this ALL NIGHT LONG post? because in times where I’m rushing around and paying express fees as I gather the courage to finally file the papers to legally change my name before the law gets revoked all the while being afraid of the paper trail that it will leave if times become harder and they come for us like they have before, I am endlessly grateful for places like RAUM.that put their money where their mouth is. where the understanding and validation I am given comes from a place of clearly knowing that until we are all free to be ourselves no one is. and that spaces like this aren’t ever guaranteed and we must support and show up and be grateful and elevate it together. it means so much to me to every time I come back and see people like myself on staff, on lineups, on the floor.and to get to explore music in ways that aren’t about confirming the narrative but exiting the loop and pushing the RAVE forward. the same music that not only made me realise who I was not but keeps showing me what else I can be, how to make beauty in the world if for a second.thanks to the many dancers for indulging me, to the friends who believe in me when I can’t (<3!!!) and to @club.raum for being a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. by @ketia4ever

Moving away from Berlin to Barcelona today, almost exactly 7 years later.People asked me many times why I moved to Berlin, what made me take that step and honestly I think I forgot it.I remember feeling there was no other way. I arrived with two suitcases and a broken heart, angry with a city unwilling to accept me and the queerness I was expressing. Looking forward to a future in Lisbon felt impossible, in every way but specially financially.I didn’t think I’d spent my twenties here. Specially not half of them through a pandemic. I didn’t think I’d live to see me turn 30 later this year. And while I’m leaving Berlin with a very bittersweet (and even sour) feeling, it’s undeniable that moving here was probably the best thing I could have done. The spaces you can find to express yourself, to explore and play around with your identity without it defining or haunting you, the sheer immensity of it that allows for constant reinvention. The body culture that helped me stop feeling ashamed of my n4ked body, helped me share it and accept and desire all bodies.And though it took time, the conversation I developed sonically with its crowds and collectives in the last 3 years has been life affirming and structural to the DJ I am today. I got to find out what I need to be happy. And I only leave because sadly it isn’t here. I’ve realised that Nature is my biggest source of inspiration and that swimming and hiking is how I source that energy that stabilises and feeds me. And I became sober 3 months into living here. And while I have managed to make my peace with the downsides of night life and substance (ab)use, having a front row seat to my loves ones self destruction has been too hard one too many times.I take with me Lea, Rafi, Mariana and many others who left us and Berlin. And I genuinely wish all the strength and love to those still struggling to make sense of it all, to find love, light and peace.I take with me all the love, the friendship, care and faith I have been lucky enough to have found through the years.This is a see you soon. I’ll be back often to keep working with the collectives and people who have shaped me.Thank you<3Bis dann Berlin xx by @ketia4ever

Even though @narcissssssssssss has been for a long time an inspiration and reference point for what I hope to see in the industry, it was only very recently we ended up connecting properly. If you asked me one year ago, when I bought my first turntable, if i’d be doing an All Night Long Vinyl Only B2B set with a legend I’d be surely telling you you had surely lost the plot.But our love for records, music and endurance practices alongside sisterhood and an uncanny sameness to non binarism made this seem not only a good idea but inevitable. I had big hopes but also knew better than to expect anything. Because you can’t really plan a set like this, only truly hope and prepare yourself to work whatever comes. But it was bliss for the quickest 7 hours I have ever experienced behind a booth. Our records were made for each other and not once we seemed to struggle to find the next one. Music is better when shared and it means a lot to find a b2b partner who can bring the vision of love and RAVE forward with you. Eagerly, lovingly, supporting at your best and at your worst. Thank you 160k and @kahorsa for making this possible, for caring about having the right vinyl setup so we could play the set we wanted and needed. And special love to the queer angels who stayed till the end and received those intimate special records in the last hour.To many many more <3 by @ketia4ever

Tracey has risen! <3 Lunchbox Candy came into my life at a point where I was really disheartened with the Berlin scene. I didn’t feel the joy and hedonia I used to when I first moved. Everything felt like an echo of what was. First time I went I was at a very low point in my life and planned to go for 2h only to check it out. I stayed 14h. After a beautiful one hour performance that a full room lovingly and eagerly watched, Adam opened the The Box with ‘Cunty’ by Aviance and the room exploded into an ecstatic state that never faded for 10 full hours at least. People were jumping, not dancing. Making eye contact, smiling, sharing space, joy and most importantly, themselves. Two of my closest friends and I had powerful ecstatic experiences that still resonate with me. It was more than a party. It was togetherness. Two weeks later I was asked to play the following event. And I have luckily been invited back regularly. It’s hard to describe the relationship I have developed with this community, specially musically. Mostly because I don’t fully understand it but I feel incredibly seen, accepted and encouraged to be uncompromisingly myself. In such a generous room, it feels like the music selects me, rushes through me and I’m just a vessel to let it pass through. Yesterday was proof that this is all bigger than us. After an unfair and abrupt end to LBC, it was really hard to be sure how to continue and if there would be a transitioning period. I’m in awe of the grace and talent the Tracey crew has shown us in the wake of abuse. It shows us what true strength and resilience looks like. And shows us that what we share is more than a name or a trademark or a venue or any of us individually. It felt like the culmination of a lifetime into a single moment.I feel honored to have been allowed to play 6h for our community, for Tracey. Thank you for making this music (that I love so deeply to the point of tears) come to life so generously. Thank you for emoting it, for making it queer, for giving it back to me and to everyone around you. The bar is so high, It’s hard to imagine how it can be better. And yet, I know it will. I can’t wait for moreI love you Tracey! by @ketia4ever

really struggling to find the words for this one. tbh lately I have been at best struggling mentally and in some moments truly unraveling. fresh off a 9 week tour and 4 weeks away from moving to Barcelona, I find myself in an emotional liminal space, perpetually in search of a way to stabilise. and it hasn’t been easy to be in front of crowds while feeling raw and untethered.but, against all odds, and with much needed help of over a dozen of World Wide Angels, last Sunday morning reminded me of why I do it. backed by an incredible tech and light team and a very generous and indulgent crowd, I got to weave and thread beautiful records together in ways that I can’t fully understand. and that help me feel ok and even hopeful about the future.thank you for the open ears and heart, for staying eagerly until the end, it means absolutely everything to me. to @tea_abashidze and @gega_japaridze for holding time and space for these kinds of rituals and to Levan and Andrew and the whole team for facilitating the care that takes to manifest this type of magic.and to my angels who I’d be nothing without. I play my best sets in the embrace of your love, care and faith.can’t wait to be back <3 by @ketia4ever

can’t believe it’s been already 5 out 7 weeks of my 5th Australia Tour </3processing so much and feeling so blessed but I keep mind wandering back to this moment. I felt very lucky to be able to play Tropical Fruits last year and was sure it was once in a lifetime kind of experience. when Thomas invited me to play the pool party, which was the highlight of my 2025 for me, I had no other choice but to accept. it’s very special and unique to play a fully queer voluntary run festival that has been happening for 37 years, before I was born. the Northern Rivers energy is unmistakably buzzing and healing. and while I must admit that being away from all my closest loved ones on New Year, the one date I truly cherish and celebrate, is challenging and alienating, the love and community present here makes it easy and truly an honor to soundtrack the beginning of a new cycle. thank you to the whole @tropicalfruitsinc team for their valiant selfless effort to create togetherness and a space to explore on such special grounds. and to @toemass for the wholeheartedness that he carries throughout the whole process of this collaboration. I care about music and the RAVE more than anything and it’s a gift to be able to work side by side with those who do too. until next year?? who knows..<3 by @ketia4ever
