Berlin sweat, Athens euphoria, pure chaos on the dancefloor. Power Dance Club isn’t just a rave—it’s a ritual of hedonism, lust, and community. We spoke with Luigi di Venere and Stathis Tsitinis about queues snaking down the block, hands in the air, f–ck.ng at the DJ booth, and why PDC tastes like “sweet sweat.”

Punchy, sassy, unhinged — Jenny Cara has built a language of contradictions. The Phuket-born, Zürich-based DJ never intended to step into the spotlight, preferring to work behind the scenes. But when Panorama Bar came calling, she leaned all the way in. Since then, she’s been shaping a sound and presence that resist easy definition: part emotional release, part playful provocation, always rooted in empathy and honesty, with just the right amount of cringe.

It’s this refusal to sit neatly in a box that makes her both unpredictable and magnetic — a reminder that the best dancefloor moments often come from tension, not resolution.

Elninodiablo moves through Berlin nightlife like a force of nature. The q***r icon, co-founder, and producer behind ‘The Downey Groove’ has spent years shaping spaces and sounds that resist definition, where freedom, sensuality, and intensity collide.

Recorded alone in the mountains of Cyprus and tested in Berlin’s basements and festival stages, his new record is both a womb-like slap and a warm embrace — a testament to a practice rooted in feeling, ritual, and q***r futurity.

In a city obsessed with the idea of freedom, he creates moments that confront, heal, and transform, insisting that the best nights come from engagement, not escape.

Shubostar calls her music cosmic disco — but don’t mistake that for trippy escapism. It’s disco beamed from Jupiter, coded like a video game, and delivered by someone who describes herself not as a visionary but… a monk.

Monster fantasies aren’t just hent4i lore anymore. From writhing tentacles to ovip0sitors that lay eggs insid3 you — creature play is one of the most imaginative corners of k1.k culture.

We wrote about why egg-laying d1ld0s are blowing minds (and stretching bodies), and how Nothosaur is turning sci-fi daydreams into bedr00m reality.

We talked with Kid Simius about drawing as self-care, scoring horror films, manifesting via impulse, and why he’s now a part-time manga artist, full-time romantic.

He samples an interview with DJ Alfredo. He microdoses. He quit drinking and lets Ibiza fill his head.

It’s not a rebrand — it’s a soft hallucination. Interview up now.

Some people call it “a surprise gift.” Others act like it’s just part of the party. But slipping drugs into someone’s drink—whether it’s G, acid, ket, or anything else—isn’t generosity. It’s a violation. And yes, it’s a crime.

It doesn’t matter if they didn’t “mean harm” or if nothing “technically” happened after. You can’t consent to a drug you didn’t know you were taking. That’s the end of the conversation.

This happens everywhere. Sometimes it’s strangers. Sometimes it’s friends. Sometimes it’s someone you’re already hooking up with. In all cases, it’s about control, not connection.

In this piece, we break down what it is and what to do if it happens to you—from deciding whether to report, to protecting yourself in the aftermath.

Consent has no vibe exception. Drugging someone is a felony.

Nylon, k1nk, resistance — and one hell of a stocking shot.

We spoke to artist and filmmaker Nicholas D. Celano about his surreal short Nylon Sonata — a self-funded, soft-lit study in f3tish, v0yeurism, and self-reclamation.

Think: 3roticism with a PhD, shot through a pair of pantyhose.
