The Hosts of A-Side Berlin

Jana Falcon

Jana Falconis known for her versatile take on electronic club music, spanningUK garage, 2-step, house, and disco. As a DJ, producer, and former vinyl cutting engineer, she combines technical expertise with a keen sense of atmosphere and musical dramaturgy. Her sound is characterized by careful selection, stylistic openness, and an unmistakable signature that blends diverse influences into a cohesive whole. 

Darwin Stapel

Darwin Stapelcombines his passion forhouse music and danceas a shared culture. As a professional dancer, he develops his DJ sets through movement: intuitively, physically grounded, and with a keen sense of tension and collective energy on the dance floor. At this second A-Side Berlin Edition, he will also showcase another facet of his artistic work; more on that coming soon. 

Tommes K. Brandt 

Tommes K. Brandtmoves betweenhouse, tech house, and disco. Asa co-founder ofA-Side, he sees club culture as a space for connection, community, and expression. His sets thrive on percussive sounds, distinctive vocals, and a knack for those moments when individual movement transforms into collective energy. His background as a singer shapes his approach to music: for him, voices become narrative elements that convey connection, emotion, and energy. 

With A-Side Berlin, the co-founders and hosts have created a place where people can come together without having to explain themselves—a space for expression, community, and the freedom to openly live out one’s own identity:“Come as you are or as you want to be.”

As long as the shared values ofrespect, consideration, and togethernessare upheld, everyone is welcome. After all, club culture is at its strongest when it doesn’t force anyone to be someone else.
