QUICHE Pride

**Presales Highly Encouraged** Sunday June 29th, 8:00pm - 2:00am SOMArts, 934 Brannan St, San Francisco $30-$$$ 21+, ID required Cash Bar Sound by Waveworks Lights by Andrew Odom Art by Win Mixter Flyer by Kidtofer ~ I wanna see all my friends at once ~ I'd do anything to get the chance to go bang ~ Stella Zekri (Body Language//Berlin) is our special guest for our biggest, most special Quiche of the year... Pride! Stella Zekri describes her mixing style as one led by emotion, rather than an adherence to razor-sharp beat matching – she plays sets that stoke a warmth in the body and keep it lit, sequences of deep-dug cuts that are mixed with a tactile intuition and trust in the track that only a vinyl DJ could have. Over the years, Stella has become a signature member of Berlin’s club community, enacting an old-school ethic of the DJ as a community-driven role. Today she is well-known for her wide knowledge of classic, groove-driven house and disco, as well as deep dubs and acid, but her rise as a DJ came hand-in-hand with booking and curating. After a number of years organizing parties at the DIY venue Kake, Stella founded Body Language with Camilla Rae and Caitlin Russell in 2021. Gaining a committed crowd over the last years, Body Language has hosted a vibrant array of international and local DJs. Stella emphasizes the core ethic of the party being its openness – the function encourages a range of sounds and styles that welcomes a heterogenous crowd. In this way, Body Language is part of a shift into a new line of queer parties in Berlin – “queer” precisely because diversity runs through its bookings, its sound systems, its dance floors, and isn’t just a catchword printed on a statement. With support from residents: Deezy Nick Moss Matthew Paul QUICHE is a party for the queer community, so please respect the venue and attendees accordingly. That includes: - Respect other people’s space - Consent is mandatory - Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any form of discrimination - The dance floor is for dancing, not conversation, so please save the tea for the other spaces in SOMArts - Keep it cute!
