Hypernormalization at ACUD

HYPERNORMALIZATION — LOS ANGELES × BERLIN REUNION

Born between two cities and raised on the dancefloor, Hypernormalization returns to Berlin for a reunion at ACUD Club.

Berlin, we'd like to introduce you to Los Angeles. Turns out LA is gay.

Somewhere between LA warehouses and Berlin basements, Hypernormalization has become a meeting point for artists, DJs, dancers, lovers, and the beautifully unhinged. This HYPE NYTE reunites friends and collaborators from both sides of the Atlantic and invites everyone to join the family.

Expect dark electronics, hypnotic rhythms, industrial textures, mutant club sounds, sweaty kisses, dramatic eye contact, and at least one cigarette that's somehow more therapeutic than your actual therapist.

This is a celebration of queer nightlife in all its forms: sweaty, messy, sexy, political, tender, and just a little bit delusional. A dancefloor where strangers become accomplices, flirting is a communal activity, and everyone's hotter after 3 a.m.

Come dance. Come flirt. Come fall in love for six minutes. From LA to Berlin, Hypernormalization is bringing a suitcase full of queer chaos—and yes, we're checking it as oversized baggage.

A reunion of frequencies.
A collision of cities.
A temporary world built for those who seek something beyond the ordinary.

Los Angeles × Berlin — reunited at ACUD.

LINE UP A-Z

//DJ HOUSEWIFE

Hypernormalization • BER/LA

//DJ KÜNDIGUNG

The Bliss • BER

//DJ TARGAY

Hypernormalization • LA

“Just another mediocre gay DJ in LA—or so he claims. In reality, DJ TARGAY (aka Jon Warner) is the creative force driving some of the city's most immersive spaces. As the founder of SEVR, he handles everything from stage design to hypnotic visuals, translating a dancer’s innate understanding of rhythm into physical space. Now holding things down as a resident for Hypernormalization, his sound is pure, high-octane energy: cunty techno spiked with erratic video game nostalgia. He doesn't just play for the dancefloor; he built it.”

//LANDO

Mistress / Rush Hour • BER

Antaeus Roy aka Lando, a Berlin-based producer / Musician / DJ whose sound bridges eras and cities from Sacramento to San Francisco, New York to Berlin, for two decades he’s been crafting rhythmic machine-driven worlds of groove within early jack house, italo, techno, wave, and all things 80s industrial dance.

A founding half of Lazer Sword and a shapeshifter under monikers like Lando Kal, his releases have landed on Rush Hour, Numbers, Mistress, Hypercolour, his own Myth Music imprint and beyond. His 80s hardware gear-leaning aesthetic and vintage futurist touch have resonated across global dancefloors from a Tresor Berlin residency, to Berghain, Melt, Dimensions, Fabric, Space Ibiza and the likes of.

With a sound equal parts retro grit and magnetic momentum, Antaeus Roy continues to evolve, keeping bodies moving and minds orbiting somewhere between nostalgia and the next night out.

//LINNÊA

Up For Grabs • BER

Born in Sweden and based in Berlin since 2010, Linnéa Palmestål is known for her work as the head teacher, mentor and co-founder of No Shade, a now retired event series and collective focused on fostering and supporting FLINTA DJ talent.

With some 12 years experience as a DJ and a rich track library that spans the past decade in experimental club music and reflects a history of definitive releases by underground artists, LINNÉA’s playful, sexy, bouncy sets span bass-heavy and broken beats, R&B edits, latin club and a blend of other hybrid styles and sub-genres that merge to create a sonic experience that will keep you glued to the dance floor.

//MIÑIN

Breach • LA

Brian De Loera (aka MIÑIN) is a DJ/artist from Los Angeles, California. He has been on the dancefloor (and in the pits) for at least two decades, experiencing and contributing to some of the city’s most legendary parties, including Mustache Mondays, Rhonda, L.A.U.R.A., Machine Club, and more.

MIÑIN co-runs the party BREACH alongside Venganza, which has been at the forefront of cutting-edge dance music, spanning Club, House, Vogue, Deconstructed, and more. Now carrying the mantle for Los Angeles parties that are not only inclusive of all genders, races, and sexual orientations, but also bring people together on the dancefloor, MIÑIN honors his predecessors while helping move LA nightlife into its next generation.

//MITHRIL

BER/LA

Mithril is an LA/NYC based multimedia artist.

Her themes center around fantastical transhumanist cyber escapism, exploration of strange, distant worlds, and breaking the established boundaries of reality.

Her style is usually dreamy and dissociative, but also at times aims to get you to aggressively thrash all of your frustration, fear, and anxiety away.

She was a resident to NYC’s Melting Point, the co-founder of one of the original virtual raves, H
