Leaning into several layers of electronic music, from

metallic techno, angelic trance and squishy acid to

cosmic bleep, Lolsnake (she/they) fuses a maelstrom of

textures into their sets, stirring up heady atmospheres

and hypnotic moods on the dancefloor, forming a

magnetic aesthetic of their own.

The Iraqi-American DJ, visual artist and founder of the

queer platform Weeeirdos approaches her work from

a far-reaching and curious perspective, always finding

ways to inject colour and charisma into the space she

commands.

In 2023 alone, the Berghain regular took their sound

worldwide, playing in De School, Blitz, Whole, and

many more parties and festivals across Europe and

the Americas, including a Weeeirdos showcase hosted

by Boiler Room in Berlin. Since 2017, Lolsnake has

curated Weeeirdos events across the city and beyond

into Prague and Copenhagen. The party pokes fun

and freedom into the primarily dark and sometimes

pretentious aspects of the dance music scene,

encouraging clubbers to dress in bold attire and arrive

with an open mind. Interdisciplinary artists like Ellen

Allien, Chippy Nonstop, Parrish Smith, and Schacke

have recently soundtracked the series.

With plans to bring Weeeirdos on a world tour, host

its Berghain debut and kickstart its eponymous record

label, Lolsnake has proved to be a vibrant artist on the

global scene and a leading example of what happens

when one doesn’t follow the rules.
