WED 8/5 

Peeploch is a curated late-night show hosted by .mag and

 The same week as the German F_tish Ball we’re inviting some of the k_nk scene’s heavy players to talk about all things d_rty that lub_icates our minds. This live show will allow for conversations that normally don’t take place on stages, where the audience gets to interact. Peeploch is unseriously serious and an open atmosphere of laughter, visual fi_th and a raw force that will make you continue the fun for the rest of what the F_tish Ball has to offer. 

Peeploch is hosted by .sandst
The co-founder of Playful isn’t shy to ask direct questions or dig deeper and neither with sharing her own experiences. She will make sure you won’t get too comfortable in your seats. 

This Peeploch guests are: 

Eva Oh is not only a professional international dom_natrix and media personality; she’s also a captivating podcaster whose voice and smarts makes you understand all thinks B_SM without filter or judgement. With sharp wit and humour she challenges societal norms and desire.

Bishop Black has been seen everywhere and people tend to say they cannot w_nk without having them show up on the screen. Their mesmerizing fil_hy energy draws you right into their presence, on– as well as off screen. As a multi-talented artist and performer, Bishop has made waves in the adult entertainment industry and beyond.  

Chiqui Love is the Venezuelan gift to Berlin, that keeps on giving. As a strip_er, activist, comedian and performer, with over 20 years in the business, she’s making the city more vibrant and colourful with irony that’s not for the faint hearted. Chiqui empowers performers and challenges stereotypes while captivating audiences with her witty mouth or knife-sharp performances.

Fluxxious is mostly seen in q***r, s_x positive and f_tish communities. She is strong, fluctuating between masculinity and femininity, embracing objectifying herself in her own terms. Fluxxious loves wearing latex, heavy harness, sometimes climb the pole or play… and you’ll get to watch her do it all.

Tickets available in bio.

“Music is an art form that thrives on diverse perspectives to remain authentic. It’s essential to have different voices talking about their experiences through music; imagine hearing the same story told by the same people repeatedly – it would be so dull.” – Samantha Togni
…
“Representation is crucial for inspiring the next generation of music. If you can’t see people that look like you in certain roles, it becomes harder to picture yourself undertaking a career in it.

Leading labels, organisations, venues, and festivals need to put their money where their mouth is and offer programs, opportunities, training, and education to amplify marginalised voices and create a more equitable ecosystem. Us independent collectives can make noise but it in comparison what we can do has limitations.”

We catch up with the Detroit techno pioneer Alan Oldham AKA DJ T-1000 who was one of the driving forces behind the UNESCO campaign for ‘Berlin Techno’, spearheaded by Rave the Planet.

What does this mean for the scene and for Berlin as a city?
“Like everyone, I’m waiting to see what practical benefits there are from this status, but in theory it ratifies the Berlin Techno scene as culture worthy of protection on par with museums, libraries and historic buildings, not just a bunch of clubbers taking dr-gs.” – Alan Oldham

Protection from what?
“Gentrification and erasure of community spaces are the main enemies. Berlin has already lost many great venues like IPSE and Fiese Remise.”

Some voices have shown concern that the campaign focuses on Berlin, and not Detroit. Are you scared it would make people forget about the roots of where techno actually comes from?
“Nope. Detroit Techno has been around for almost 40 years. Everyone who knows electronic music knows that my hometown Detroit is the birthplace of techno. Many Detroiters are living legends who are still relevant and leading the way creatively. When campaigning for UNESCO status, it was in the back of our minds (myself, Dr. Motte and team) that Berlin was just the test case. And if successful, other cities with rich musical and creative histories could apply for the same UNESCO Intangible Cultural status. Of course, culturally, the USA is a different place with its own challenges. We shall see!”

There is an alternative to Ibiza in the Mediterranean sea, a couple of days in August every year. That is Malta and Glitch Festival.

33 degrees, brilliant sunshine, and an ice-cold drink by the pool during the day. Mild nights, an amazing audience, and an incredibly impressive lineup under the starry sky. There you have Glitch Festival, which Playful Magazine has fallen in love with in recent years.

There is pure passion behind Glitch Festival in Malta. The team behind the festival consists of old Maltese friends with a love for electronic music. Together, they manage to attract some of the hottest names in the techno and house scene each year, both newcomers and seasoned acts, to Gianpula Village just outside Valetta.

Lineup release tomorrow, Tuesday!

Max Eicke: “I am searching for a contemporary version of s-xuality”

We catch up with Berlin based photographer Max Eicke, to speak about inspiration, what it means to him to shoot portraits and his project ‘Dominas’ where he met over 30 s3x workers and portraited them.

“In general, the people I photograph are dear to me. I believe I have to love, respect, somehow embrace everyone I photograph. I need a positive fascination for them, something that sparks my curiosity, my desire to pay attention to them. For me, the act of photography has a lot to do with vulnerability—making myself vulnerable and inviting my counterpart to do the same.”

In what way would you say the way you perceive yourself has changed in Berlin?
“The more you do soul searching the more you find and have to deal with. In my 10 years in Berlin I found out I’m bisexual, have adhd, attachment/addiction issues, and other things. At the same time I found my chosen family, created an amazing life full of travel and art. After some very electric years I now feel so calm and happy within myself. It’s hard rigorous spiritual work to stay an open and positive soul in this city and I’m happy I’ve done the work, and still do it, all the therapy and spiritual work that is necessary to grow.” - Fofo Altinell
