~Heatsink: Crux

🔥 HEAT//sink 🔥 Queer, Underground, Berlin style. A contradiction humming beneath the skin. A vessel that absorbs. A threshold where excess is not released but held, pressed into the walls, pulsing beneath the floor, lingering in the breath between bodies. To heat is to move toward combustion. To sink is to let go ~ into gravity, into the dark, into the unknown. HEAT//sink is both. Always both. A resistance to containment. A surrender to sensation. We gather for feeling. For something raw. For that breathless suspension between rhythm and release. Flesh, sound, sweat, refusal, desire, these are our dialects. We come together not to perform queerness, but to inhabit its core contradiction: To be against. To be around. To burn. To sink. HEADLINER: CHRIS CRUSE (Berlin) A resident of Club Toilet (Detroit), founder of LA’s Spotlight, and a mainstay at Panorama Bar (Berlin), Cocktail d’Amore (Berlin), SNAX at Laboratory, Glastonbury, and yes ~ even Coachella ~ Chris Cruse has shaped some of the most revered queer dance floors in the world. His sets are deeply sensual, fiercely intelligent, and always built for release. He draws from queer lineage and lets it breathe through house, techno, disco, and everything in between. OPENING: PRISTAL (Denver) With roots in classical and jazz and a pulse tuned to the dancefloor, Pristal embodies the new renaissance of Black, queer dance music. Their sets are fluid and fearless, blending Bossa Nova, Dancehall, House, and Techno into a sound that seduces and stirs. Beloved by the Denver community, Pristal doesn’t just warm up the room ~ they ignite it. Movement is inevitable. 🎟 Tickets limited. No sales at the door.
