This week, DJ Fuckoff took a break from whipping up storms across parties in Berlin to have a raw, cute and frank in person chat with me.
Propulsively mixing techno with juke, psy-trance and warehouse rave so potent you can practically smell the heat from the generator, all with sexually empowering lyrics. We met up for a coffee in Neukölln where she opened up about battling incels, the lingering misogyny in club culture and how she nurtures her own energy. In her own words: “I like to make people get out of their comfort zone and I think its important to be pushing this instead of how society is telling women how they should act. I want to fucking break this, I want to push this, I want to test this and by doing what I do and seeing how people react, I see that that’s happening.”
