Kyiv Trance Mission @ Den Anden Side - 22h Sunday Funday

Den Anden Side is thrilled to present to you: Kyiv Trance Mission. KTM is a trance focused collective with strong beliefs of a non-binary future and was founded in 2021 in Kyiv. The collective will take over the club for one night presenting three of their residents: OLHA, Tweeman and Dosaaf. Also, they have invited two of Den Anden Side’s residents: Neri J and Elias Gozal.

This night is a part of Den Anden Side’s smashing new concept “Sunday Funday” which is an extraordinary 22-hour party starting on the night after Saturday at our club, and continuing Sunday morning a few meters down the street at Pumpehuset, with a massive takeover daytime party by Seaworld Tekno Klub. You don’t want to miss this mad event!

More about the KTM artists:

OLHA is a Ukraine-born London-based DJ, performance & visual artist.
She is a co-founder of Kyiv-based event series, a platform for talent and community called DRIFT. She is also a resident of Kyiv Trance Mission parties.

Being an acute observer and perceiving the reality through narratives for alternative histories and possible scenarios of our futures, she is carefully arranging her sets, transforming them into catalysts for emotional elevation, euphoric exaltation and liberation.

Diving into the memories of hardcore rave mystery she soundtracks magnetic, fast paced and intense sexy fairytale magic blasting with emotions, melancholy, romance and subtle nostalgia. Her musical language is filled with sublime melodies, industrial loudness, hard & very raw magnetism and explosive, transcendental ripples, which liberate and invoke to soar.

TWEEMAN is a Ukrainian DJ, promoter and founder of queer rave VESELKA.He has been a key figure in the club life of Kyiv for more than ten years and is directly at the forefront of the development of the electronic scene in Ukraine.

His sets are very eclectic with an open-minded atmosphere and balancing between techno, acid, trance with a lot of old school stuff. But it always depends on the dance floor which he is feeling at the fingertips.

Despite of saturated life in Ukraine he also touring around European and Asian scenes. S.A. Tweeman was the guest of Anomalie (Berlin), Alphabet (Tel Aviv), Gallery (Tbilisi), Pergamon (Jerusalem), Poligraf (Yerevan), Vad Siden Af (Copenhagen) and HÖR radio (Berlin).

DOSAAF is the DJ alias of a queer artist and activist Gleb Kovalski who was born and raised in Belarus. Affection for noise and experimental genres alongside his passion for techno raves once led Dosaaf to his first performances at underground parties in abandoned military bunkers and vast Belarusian forests.

In 2020 Dossaf had to leave Belarus due to political persecution. He moved to Kyiv where tried to continue their artistic and musical work performing at such events as Drift, VESELKA, Vorozjba but after the start of the full-scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine he had to flee once again. Now Dosaaf is based in Berlin and working on a number of club and art projects mostly related to queer migrants and queer temporalities of the future.

Driven by emotions and instincts, Dosaaf sticks to dark, melancholic sound and covers the dance floor with a dense vibe where subtle hypnotic techno being refracted in broken, distorted textures becomes a mighty hurricane of cutting arpeggiated chords vibrating and pulsating to the beat of psychedelic hard trance and, at times, uncompromising hard-core.

Consent is the foundation of interaction in our space. Whether it’s conversation, dance, physical contact, consumption, or sexual activities — we expect everyone to ensure that it’s happening with consent. No means no.

As a large nightclub, it's hard to keep track of everyone's experiences, but if we get a complaint via email, we will always take it seriously and act on it.

During the night, it is important that you get in touch with our awareness team if you experience anything uncomfortable, but we acknowledge that this approach is difficult in some cases.
