An evening with Nadim Samman & Nils Petersen

Malounadou
Anthea (Partisan)
Amanda Mussi

For the first club night, the Vienna Digital Cultures Festival brings together three DJs whose music and social practice celebrate love for human collective interaction: Anthea from London/Berlin is one of the internationally most in-demand house and techno DJs delivering her funk-fuelled sound, Amanda Mussi has transported her techno, break and house music into the world from the queer underground music scene of Sāo Paolo and Malounadou from Munich/Vienna contributes her groovy trance, acid and offbeat sounds. It is a club night for cathartic release and re-embodiment!

The club night kicks off at 10pm with Arvida Byström’s performance A Cybernetic Doll’s House in the foyer.

Oliver Rottmann
*A toxic Treat (Performance)
Kruzio b2b Buchner
Mareia

The Viennese downtempo collective Heimlich, known for impressive stage and outfitting concepts and embracing atmospheres, deliver a multi-sensory experience for the Club of the Republic: DJ sets by Oliver Rottmann, Kruzio b2b Buchner and Mareia meet the performance A Toxic Treat – Pleasure on Repeat by Sissi Petutschnig & Catherine Schmit. Detailed love for slowing down – the Heimlich evenings are on an unusual course that puts them in great demand.

Love and intimacy thrive where there is a place for safety, freedom and desire. Clubs can be more than just places to dance, they can be refuges for marginalised groups and spaces for individual self-development. Vienna Shorts and the Free Republic of Vienna are therefore setting a sign for all those who are worst hit by the growth of right wing conservative policies, welcoming DJ pairs from the collectives Sugar Slip, Spice Mixers, Love-Fi Vienna and Fast and Nice.

Missy Magazine from Berlin and the new Viennese collective KISSEN are delivering a superlative queer club experience on this party night. While the magazine for pop, politics and feminism has been known for its independent feminist journalism for sixteen years, KISSEN is opening new spaces for trans and non-binary persons, people of colour and a queer audience. On 7 June, the Club of the Republic turns into sparkling ecstasy with speed-up pop remixes, breakbeats, jersey, house, B2B sets and a performance by Madame Léa.

A moment of closeness, a common rhythm, a shared movement: with Noche d’Amore, Tropical Thunder invites you to a night of warmth and sensuousness. Dance music from around the world meets delicate slow-dance moments that bring the sensation of a fleeting summer romance to the dance floor. Music that crosses the borders of genres and countries, immersive soundscapes and a visually detailed backdrop let you lose and find yourselves collectively in movement.

Holy Lolly (GAZE)
Rumi de Baires (GAZE)
Colored Craig

GAZE, Vienna’s queer party series at the interface of fashion, electronic music, drag and performance enchants the Club of the Republic into a place of collective desire, queer utopia and sensuous uprising. We are joined by Rumi de Baires, whose explosive fusion of Latin rhythms and ballroom energy sets the dance floor alight, Holy Lolly with a vibrant mixture of house, electronica and Afro-Diaspora beats and – coming from Los Angeles – Colored Craig, a DJ and producer whose cross-genre mix of house, R&B and Funk seems like a musical love letter to club culture.

The club night kicks off at 10pm with the performance Drink Drag Draw in the foyer.
