On 6th April Anja Schneider launches a new event series, PuMp, with the first edition taking place at Tresor’s treasured sibling, Ohm, where she’ll share duties in the booth with hand-picked guests, names nearest and dearest to, and most respected by the host.
Starting at 4 PM, welcoming Cassy as the first guest, and finishing before midnight, this isn’t after-work drinks or a sundowner. Instead, it’s ravers getting cutting-edge beats in an infamous tiled sweatbox without the demands of an all-nighter.
“It’s about ‘age’ in a positive sense: maturity. Being a raver from the heart for 20 years. Exploring how the evolved club experience juxtaposes with physical and familial structures. Always stay current but transform the approach based on your life situation, and do not go through this alone,” Anja says of PuMp. “There’s a reference to the club culture that was already significant in the 90s, which I was a part of and contributed to shaping. And the inability to let go because you’re always looking for new ideas. PuMp aligns my past and present. So where, and in which city, could we do that better than Ohm and Berlin?”
In 2024, Anja Schneider will celebrate her 20th anniversary in the techno scene. Two decades in, one of dance music’s most celebrated DJs, producers, label owners, A&Rs, broadcasters, and tastemakers has big plans for this massive milestone. The celebration of a career that’s seen her headline the world’s most iconic clubs and festivals play grassroots parties and word-of-mouth raves, create vital platforms for new talent, and hold doors open for female artists to push through.
