On Valentine’s Day this year HAVEN implore you to get sweaty and saucy for a sexy stomp to celebrate the return of our favourite DJ in the world - the infamous Berghain resident BORIS…
It is our absolute pleasure to have the Berlin queer icon back on the arcade floor for the third time and gracing Ōtautahi with his signature playful style and infectious energy - you can’t deny that cheeky grin and obvious love for the music our techno daddy displays in the booth. Influenced equally by the industrial club-land of Berlin and the joy and community of legendary NYC clubs Paradise Garage and The Loft, he has earned an international following in the queer scene and beyond. This has led to long-term residencies at the likes of Faust Soul, House of Mince in Sydney, and at his home-base of Berghain. The last 2 times have been some of our most memorable parties - we can’t wait to witness the collective dance-floor euphoria once again!!
Kicking off the evening we have Cathy opening the floor with their dark wave techno selections following previous sets for Tender Buttons and Queer Horizons. Warming up before Boris we have our beloved resident and 03 community facilitator Mr. Meaty Boy after a busy year of events across Aotearoa and work at essential art space Te Wā.
