Party A PLACE THAT WON'T STAY

{Meltdown} {Breakdown} {Pure bliss}

One last time at brut nordwest before the wrecking ball comes and the location will only be a memory: after the Regenbogenparade on 13 June, the party will continue right at brut nordwest. The queer party series KISSEN brings sensual beats and euphoria with BRUT HARD SOFT KISSEN – After Pride Edition, as well as numerous special guests, including GATAFIERA (live) and anxxxious_t, aua&angst, yves, Dia, Shepperd and nas.delphine (DJ sets). Under the motto A PLACE THAT WON'T STAY, we say goodbye to brut nordwest on the dance floor – loud, soft and sweaty.

In a dark, fog-filled space, a DJ person stands behind a DJ booth with two turntables and a mixer. The person is wearing headphones and an open, light-colored shirt over a top; their face is only partially visible due to backlighting and haze. Centered above the booth, a large glowing pink lips sculpture is mounted on the wall. The scene is bathed in purple and magenta lighting, softening edges and creating a hazy atmosphere. The DJ booth is framed by two solid columns. The overall impression is club-like, sensual, and performative, with a strong emphasis on light, sound, and presence.

Two people are shown in a theatrical, physically connected pose against a deep red background. One person sits upright and looks directly forward. They wear dark, form-fitting clothing, high platform shoes, and a red, net-like head covering. The second person lies across the seated person’s lap, with their torso arched backward and their head hanging down. This person also wears dark, close-fitting clothing and high shoes. The bodies form a sculptural composition of extended legs, bent arms, and pronounced bodily tension. Red textile threads or cords run across the body of the reclining person. The floor is covered with dark fabric and scattered red elements. The image appears staged, sensual, and powerful, with strong contrasts between skin, fabric, and the monochromatic background.

In a dark, fog-filled space, a torso-shaped sculpture without head or arms stands on a black pedestal. The surface appears reflective or faceted, resembling glass or metal. From inside the sculpture, an intense yellow light radiates outward, forming fan-shaped beams that spread through the room. The surrounding space is filled with blue and purple stage lighting, creating a strong contrast with the yellow glow. On the floor, small, scattered points of light appear, resembling stars or confetti. In the background, vague stage elements and haze are visible, with details remaining indistinct. The overall impression is atmospheric, futuristic, and performative, evoking a light installation or art object within a club night or performance setting.

Two people stand closely together in front of a deep red background, looking directly into the camera. Both wear intentionally torn, deconstructed garments in muted tones. The person on the left wears a cropped, distressed top and short bottoms that reveal the abdomen, paired with high dark boots. Chains and jewelry rest around the neck and torso. Their posture appears confident, with one leg slightly bent and an open stance. The person on the right wears an asymmetrical, light-colored garment with exposed shoulders and back, combined with high leopard-print boots. Their body is turned slightly to the side, with one arm resting on the other person’s shoulder. Scattered paper sheets and cables lie on the floor, while dark technical objects are visible in the background. The image feels staged, powerful, and intimate, emphasizing posture, textile textures, and the physical connection between the two people.

The queer party series KISSEN has been thrilling audiences with sold-out nights since 2024. With a strong focus on trans* artists, it has become a local anchor of queer nightlife culture and a fixture of the Viennese club scene. With groovy sensual beats, KISSEN puts euphoric togetherness as lustfully exuberant bodies front and centre. The interplay of music, scenography and performance is increasingly becoming the trademark of the series. Various collaborations have brought KISSEN, among others, together with Missy Magazine to the Club der Republik at Wiener Festwochen | Freie Republik Wien. In addition to supporting local acts, the collective is also committed to involving international acts.

GATAFIERA is a Vienna-based Latinx duo composed of queer trans* artists Hoesé and Luí Matias dos Santos. Combining their Peruvian and Brazilian roots, they have created a transformative musical project that blends reggaeton and baile funk with elements of drum and bass and rock, crafting a sound that energizes listeners, evokes deep emotional resonance, and amplifies their thought-provoking messages. More than just musicians, GATAFIERA is a bold statement of representation, liberation, and the power of embracing one’s identity. GATAFIERA aims to continue pushing the boundaries of urban Latinx music while creating space for underrepresented voices in the industry. Their performances are more than concerts - they are immersive experiences that challenge the status quo and inspire audiences to celebrate diversity and individuality. In April 2024, GATAFIERA released their debut single, Perreo Deculonizado, which has been on regular rotation on FM4 ever since. One year later they unveiled their debut album SUDACA ATACA, marking a significant milestone in their burgeoning career. Since then they’ve been playing all over Europe, spreading their message and solidifying their place as a powerful new voice of the community.
