Spring is in the air, the sun is shining, and our guest DJ Vanaenae is bringing the perfect soundtrack to warm your soul. Based in Berlin and known for her deep love of 90s house music, Vanaenae is part of Good2U Festival and has been a driving force in Leipzig’s underground scene through projects like Music of Color and Sunday Love Affair — her event series dedicated to fostering a more sustainable club culture for BIPoC and FLINTA* communities.
In this mix, Vanaenae highlights Asian producers, with a special focus on Southeast Asia — featuring artists like Gato Latex (Indonesia), Sarayu (Thailand), Xiaolin (China), and rising talents from the Philippines. She starts softly, guiding us through ambient soundscapes and modern takes on kulintang gongs, before blooming into the heart of what Vanaenae loves most: soulful, groovy house. Her sound — constantly evolving — blends second-hand treasures, deep cuts, and uplifting beats, creating a journey that’s as rich and vibrant as the season itself.
