#teddyartist: Nuclear Family

Nuclear Family is the musical brainchild of Nikolaj Tange Lange and occasional partner in crime, Andreas Tange Lange. Nikolaj writes the songs, programs the sounds, and sings too – and even plays a couple of instruments from time to time. Andreas adds a helluva lotta attitude, killer outfits, and sings along when he remembers. Nuclear Family have played over 100 gigs in all parts of Europe – three times at the Copenhagen Queer Festival, twice at the Berlin Porn Festival, and once at the 50th birthday of Danish movie director Lars Von Trier.

#teddyartist: Joey Hansom

As a DJ, Joey Hansom has carved a niche with his transgenre approach, with no distinction between the myth of underground versus mainstream, bringing a bit of color into the cold, gray beats that dominate Berlin’s club scene. He has played throughout Europe as well as a number of Berlin’s top locations (Watergate, Bar 25), parties and festivals. Joey’s style blends together selections spanning all eras of dance music, mostly using vinyl (although the “analog versus digital” debate makes him roll his eyes).

#teddyartist: trust.the.girl

The mix doesn’t get any wilder than this: DJ trust.the.girl plays whatever is fun and can run the whole spectrum from rock to electro to pop and beyond. She is resident DJ at Magnet as well as at the SchwuZ Wednesday party “Poplulärmusik”. She can be found regularly at “L-Tunes” and “Search and Destroy”, driving crowds to the dance floor every time. That’s why the Teddy Party has now been put in her hands too, with our complete trust.
