CEM's unique brand was forged in Herrensauna's hedonistic Berlin furnace in the last few years, and as one of the party's three core members, he has been at the heart of the operations since its inception. With the party attracting more and more attention for its critical contribution to Berlin's queer community, as well as their raw italo metal aesthetic, the opportunity came to move into Tresor, where it has cemented its place as a unique addition to Berlin's nocturnal topography. CEM's role in all this is twofold— firstly, as curator of the party's unique mix of frenetic DJs and industrial-edged live performances; and secondly, as one of the resident DJs. The sheer pace of Herrensauna's preferred grade of techno is offset by his enigmatic presence and selection. It's a crucial edge of the party, and it's rightfully brought CEM to the world's attention. He's a rare species of DJ that seeds intensity in even the most hesitant of movers.

Asha originally found her footing in Montreal through organizing community nights which served to debut new artists. Originally a trained dancer, Asha discovered her love for music through the dancefloors of Montreal’s rave scene. Inspired by this newfound exploration of movement and the diverse sounds discovered both in Montreal and abroad, she has taken her place on the other side of the booth over the past year. As well as her role behind the decks, Asha continues to organize, primarily with Unknown Artist and Ether, a FLINTA run night focusing on bass heavy sounds, the intersection of visual and musical experiences, and community building through dance floor spaces. Asha brings a unique energy to her sets, shaped by a love for bass-heavy, polyrhythmic, percussion-infused electronic dance music.

Skesa (Téo Farley) is a Montreal-based DJ, live act and producer whose recordings blend intricate textures and percussions with the warmth of familiar sounds. His music is driven by pulsating basslines, echoed vocal chops and unexpected drum breaks, showcasing his love for old-school electronic music while incorporating innovative elements. Sitting at the crossroads of house and techno, Teo's recent sound has been influenced by his active involvement in the Montreal rave and afterhours scene. This sonority is well-captured by his latest EP "Float Stop" released in October 2024 on Turbo Recordings.
