Ten years in, Herrensauna and FIST come together for the first time - two decades of underground club culture converging on Paris for one night at La Station.
Herrensauna emerged from Berlin as a home for the true freaks – bold, transgressive, and a little scary. Their potent residents and uncompromising visuals sent an unmistakable signal: this was pushing for something wild and daring. One engaged at their own risk. MCMLXXXV and CEM are the co-founders of Herrensauna. MCMLXXXV is a modern master of the seething, sleazy and trippy - no one embodies the party's deviant punk energy quite like he does. CEM is one of the most adventurous and intuitive DJs working today, diving deep into dubby, glitching, mossy or resplendent territory. You know it when you feel it.
FIST (Fun Is Still Transgressive) is an international event collective founded in New York City in 2016. Over a decade, FIST has built a reputation for charged, hedonistic dance spaces rooted in queer and underground culture - from a long-running Basement NYC residency to stages across Europe. Word of Command and DJ Clone appear b2b, representing a decade of FIST's sonic identity in a single pairing.
PEPIITA opens the night. Born in France and rooted in Paris, she came up through cinema before the underground pulled her in for good. A resident at Spectrum Waves and co-founder of the Queer Ranch Festival in Lesbos, she has played Cabaret Sauvage, La Machine du Moulin Rouge, and La Station itself. Her sets move between dark disco, hard house and rave - powerful, playful, and impossible to resist.
