Where Were You – A Ron Hardy Documentary Fundrasier Party
Doors 20:00
‘I Was There’ is a documentary in the making on Ron Hardy and the Rise of House Music from Chicago and the Midwest. The film’s aim is to keep Ron’s story alive for future generations as well as putting House’s narrative back in the hands of its originators.
The film will explore the early evolution of House and music as a response to inequality, racism, Reaganomics, the AIDS crisis and civil unrest.
All entry fees will go towards shooting the film’s next interview Chicago in November with the legendary Robert Williams – the man responsible for giving Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles their starts, as the founder of The Muzic Box and The Warehouse.
The film is being made with the collaboration and supervision of Bill Hardy and the Hardy Family. Dress to sweat. Doors open at 20:00 Pitch teaser for the film in the links below featuring interviews with Robert Owens and Jamie 3:26.

26/10 Royal Highness
Welcome again, our dancefloor royals, to the queerdom of Royal Highness! Prepare to laugh, dance and revel in absurdity with us one more time. When you are lost in the late afternoon hours of Sunday thinking where to dance to end the weekend or which after hours you should attend, we warmly welcome all dancing queers and queens for a day time dance marathon. As promised, Royal Highness will not aim for a safe sound, but more for an intentional cacophony: fast transitions, unconventional sounds, stimulating vocals, bleeps, crunches, provoking samples and hypnotising drums. LINE UP: @nickymiller0 @aryaszr (Ms. Deutschland) DJ Killing LINDHOUSE travaspango @seangates b2b @eldolorosa @saleenbouvar And @Eric D. Clark will stirrrrr the pots in his farm and present his musical novella to us as the elixir of life. Artwork @v.e.r.i.s.c.h.w.a.r.z

06/11 BUTO BAYANG
BUTO BAYANG is a new platform connecting the Asian diaspora, centering BIPOC and queer voices, while welcoming everyone who stands with us. For our first event, we’ve invited JESSICA NIGHTLIFE, the German-Malay DJ and driving force behind the queer-focused Venus Vessels and resident at Cuddles. Their sets move between house, 90s club moments, cheeky progressive vibes and early millennium tech — playful, sexy and charged with femme energy. DJ TELL, also known as Japanese-American photographer Julien Tell, is a Berlin-based emerging DJ. He is known for his intimate portraits of some of the scene’s most iconic DJs. Earlier this year, he made his debut at Chengdu’s legendary club TAG over Chinese New Year, and we’re thrilled to welcome him for his Berlin club debut. DJ EL, Indonesia-born and Berlin-based, delivers hypnotic tribal rhythms and sassy house with his unmistakable energy behind the decks. And of course, ENNIO and HAMY, the founders of BUTO BAYANG, close the night with their signature cunty house and techno. Come early and enjoy some snacks and a special drink! NO RACISM • NO TRANSPHOBIA • NO HOMOPHOBIA • NO DISCRIMINATION If you see or experience harmful behavior, please report it to our team or venue staff.
