FR 27/09 > HERRENSAUNA < BLITZ Beste Hira CEM MCMLXXXV Nastasia Set times for the weekends are published every Friday noon at www.blitz. club. PLEASE RESPECT OUR NO PHOTO POLICY! NO PHONES ON THE DANCE FLOORS! BE WHO YOU ARE! LOVE IS THE MESSAGE! The now globally in-demand Herrensauna started with the best and most humble intentions: a group of friends hosting small, intimate, and freewheeling (gay) parties with thrilling, driving Techno sounds in an old men’s sauna. The music is ardent, with a striking, dismal gloom, marked by martial visuals and a refreshing, gritty sense of glam. And, of course: G R O O V E! Herrensauna has ignited renewed interest in these timeless Techno tropes (that have charecterised wide ranges of the scene in recent years again), but no matter how large their events or touring schedules have become, the communal sense of their music and events is unmistakable as soon as you enter the party. Herrensauna has remained a close-knit group of friends with an acquired taste in music, throwing great raves—and now they’re back to make even more friends at Blitz in Munich! Founding core members CEM and MCMLXXXV (pronounced: Herrenscheide) will provide the soundtrack for the celebration, proving the success of the Herrensauna formula with addictive rhythms and that spicy and signature, outré ingredient to the groove. Beste Hira, who grew up studying cello and piano in Istanbul, now successfully pursues a career in electronic dance music from Amsterdam. Her sound is focused on the opiate yet agile spectrum of sombre Techno, but she stages these popular motifs with a refined sense of rhythm that keeps the narrative exciting. Adding a local flavour to the mix is Nastasia. Alongside Nastasia’s now well-known activism to make Munich’s nightlife safer and more inclusive as part of the WUT collective, the local is another devotee of stomping, immersive rhythms and stygian tones - they’ll accompany the sweaty sensation in best manner.
