Live sound performance: Hunni'd Jaws, HKCR DJ
Live VJ performance: Shelf Index, Video Cypher
Hunni’d Jaws’ [US/DE] sound embodies an enthralling, no-boundaries approach to club music in which the ugly is embraced alongside the sublime. The DJ and producer is half of Berlin Community Radio’s Call Dibs and a founding member of collective and tutorship programme No Shade. Hunni'd Jaws is best known for an approach to mixing that shatters the club mold, perhaps due to an upbringing that exposed her to jazz, merengue, reggae, pop, and even new wave and punk. Her ever-transforming, eclectic style storms through ballroom, classic rave, techno-grime hybrids, latinx, and beyond, delivering a welcome dose of fun to a city whose dominant aesthetic lies in dead-serious, dark techno. No Shade, which she runs alongside Linnéa, Carmel Koster, and Polymaze, promotes access and empowerment in electronic music through organising a programme that offers training and resource access to new female and non-binary DJs.
