UNDERGROUND ASSISTANCE spans the full spectrum of bass-driven club culture. uk garage, jungle, breakbeat, dubstep, grime, footwork and experimental sounds come together over deep bass, driving rhythms and a strong soundsystem focus. the nights are about energy, precision and pushing the music forward.

NONAPS
non-adaptive pleasure seeking - most pleasurable activities, such as eating and sex, have clear links to survival. such activities ultimately stimulate brain mechanisms that are specifically evolved to reward and encourage adaptive behaviors. note that once brain mechanisms are in place that permit the experience of pleasure, it may be possible to stimulate those mechanisms in ways that do not confer a survival advantage. this behavior is called non-adaptive pleasure seeking.

LOW END ACTIVIST
with an omnivorous approach to every fibre of soundsystem culture, low end activist revels in the alchemy of sample manipulation and bass pressure across the hardcore continuum. from the earliest mutations of breakbeat and jungle to the sleek bump of garage via dubstep’s half-time meditations onto grime’s volatile riddims, this is a project steeped in reverence for the formidable force inherent in uk dance music culture.

NASSSTYA
with a strong passion and love for sub driven music and heavy basslines, she’s become a steady part of the northern bass front. her musical aspiration is to break with the stale construct of subgenre boundries by celebrating a multifarious bass music culture, making more room for a diverse, safe & inclusive space - not only behind the decks, but also over the speakers and on the dancefloors. especially her uptempo selections are fueled by various styles and influences, always blending in some footwork, halftime & ravy jungle treats.

N:IN
n:in has always been attracted to dystopian sounds and unusual rhythms. sometimes more on the soft side, sometimes completely distorted, she likes to explore different genres and connect them through sounddesign or harsh contrasts. maily inspired by modern, dupstep influenced club-, deconstructed and experimental approaches.

UNDERGROUND ASSISTANCE is a hamburg-based party series at SLOT – a collectively run, non-profit space for raves, gigs, art and cultural exchange.

the series provides space for independent and emerging artists, connecting local crews with international talent. it acts as a platform for community, shared experience and self-organised culture.

the dancefloor is open and respectful, while the music remains bold and uncompromising.

UNDERGROUND ASSISTANCE treats club culture as a collective practice – a place for musical exploration, social connection and self-made counterculture.

SAFE BASS BIG TEN!!! 💥💥💥We are insanely proud to announce our 10th anniversary of our Solidarity Party, presented by @asmarasworld1.

Thanks to the amazing artists who performed out of pure solidarity, @asmarasworld1 was able to help youth who were in precarity due to the asylum process finance a membership in a football club. We were able to pay visa fees for a family and cover flights to Germany for queer people.

These are only a few examples that show that showing up matters and that solidarity is key — THANK YOU!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

On April 11th, we will have a very first LIVE SPECIAL with:

SLOT HOME RAVE is back. This time with a proper techno edition featuring an exclusive hardware live set by Jotam. (SMASH Berlin) and DJ sets by Hamburg based producers Danya (PAL and Bunker resident) and Yevhen Petrenko (DANS resident). Slot resident Passage will close the night.

running order
22:00 – 00:30 Yevhen Petrenko
00:30 – 01:30 Jotam.
01:30 – 04:30 Danya
04:30 – 06:00 Passage

Yevhen Petrenko
Yevhen is a dj and producer from Kyiv, Ukraine.
In 2019 he founded the IC4T collective and started organizing events across unique locations in Kyiv, cultivating a strong local following.
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in March 2022, he relocated with his family to Hamburg, where he has reconnected with Hard Groove Techno and became a resident of DANS Collective.
Yevhen’s sets are immersive and emotionally charged. Whether it's deep and melodic or fast and driving, his music is always carefully selected and skillfully mixed to take the audience on a journey.
Having begun producing own music, Yevhen now incorporates unreleased tracks into his performances, adding a personal and exclusive layer to his sound.

Jotam.
Jotam.’s musical roots come from his early involvement in various punk and metal live projects. Following a visit to Berlin in 2011, he discovered electronic club music and started performing as a DJ in different underground venues in Tel Aviv and later in Berlin at parties like Staub and Smash once he relocated there. He has a live set residency at the queer shibari studio Kor, where they regularly perform three-hour live modular ambient sets during shibari sessions.
In his new solo live set, performed entirely with hardware machines, Jotam. takes the audience on a journey through shifting energies and atmospheres, focusing on depth and strongly influenced by his roots in guitar music. The performance follows the slowly evolving sequences of the modular synthesizer as the main narrative, exploring different states of the dance floor while focusing particularly on the more introspective ones.

Danya
Originally from Greece, Danya is a DJ and producer based in Germany, holding residencies at PAL (Hamburg) and Bunker Club (Kiel) and is a member of the 6D. collective. Her releases span labels such as Sine Space 7, Sublunar, NYXII, and Kluster Records, including her 2024 solo vinyl Sonata, which received strong support across the scene. She has performed at renowned venues including Tresor in Berlin, Rex Club, and FVTVR in Paris, sharing lineups with some of the scene’s most respected names. Driven by curiosity and a deep connection to this culture, her sound pushes at the edges of modern techno’s form.

Passage
slot resident passage will close the night with a hand-picked selection of her new favourite techno tracks. It's getting serious.

System glitchin‘! Mit dem neuen Album „EXCOUSIA – ACT | – INITIATIO“ von der Rapperin und Sängerin JNNRHNDRXX beginnt die Neu-Installation: Wir begeben uns auf eine Odyssee von Trauma über Defragmentierung bis hin zur Katharsis. Der Fokustrack „LEMME ROCK DAT SYSTEM“ fasst die Essenz des Longplayers gekonnt zusammen und vereint Zeilen über tiefsitzenden Schmerz, längst überfälligen Systemumsturz und unermüdliche Überlebenskämpfe mit JNNRHNDRXXs eigens erschaffenem Genre Afro Noir Glitch. Mit radikal selbstbewusster Attitüde à la zero f*cks given, dreisprachigen Songtexten (Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch) und bedeutsamer Message, verwandelt die queere Afrolatina ihre aufgestaute Wut in pure Energie, die sich in Form von zehn starken Tracks entlädt.

Das Album-Release im SLOT gibt den Startschuss für eine neue Ära: JNNRHNDRXX hat lange genug versucht, in den bestehenden Strukturen zu überleben und fährt mit dem ersten Akt ihrer persönlichen Herstory schwere Geschütze auf: Zwischen verzerrten Bässen, melodischer Cyber-Ästhetik und hitverdächtigen Hooks greift JNNRHNDRXX nicht nur zum Mikrofon, um endlich gehört zu werden – sie besteigt auch den Thron, der ihr seit jeher verwehrt wurde.

Auch dabei ist Newcomer, Produzent und Artist Chinyere.

CHINYERE ist ein DJ und Soundproduzent aus Hamburg.
Er hat ein großes Herz für Gqom, Sghubu und Uthayela. Besonders gefallen ihm raue, laute Sounds mit schweren Basslines und Percussion. In seinen Sets mischt er diese Subgenres mit UK Garage, Global Bass und Breakbeats. Seine Sets und Tracks zeichnen sich durch harte und knackige Percussions und 2-Step-Rhythmen aus, die das Publikum mitreißen. Diese Veranstaltung wird gefördert durch den Hamburger Musikstadtfonds.

VVK ab jetzt.

SAME LIFESTYLE

if you’re new here or forgot:

With lifestyle, we’re all about bringing queer people together to do what we do best: SHAKE ASS

Our lineups exclusively feature queer and trans* artists—supporting the local scene and uplift newcomers from across Germany.

On top of that, we take a genre-fluid approach, showcasing a diverse range of sounds and dedicating each edition to a unique vibe.

Especially in these challenging times, it’s more important than ever that queer and trans* people have a place to come together and experience the joy of dancing and connecting with each other!

We want to create a party where queer people can be themselves without judgment—a club night built on care and respect for one another.
It goes without saying: this is a zero-tolerance space for any form of discrimination. If you experience or witness any discriminatory behavior, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the door staff, cash desk, or bar team.

We keep it simple: amazing (local) DJs, sexy music, and great people

The Return of the Suﬁ Dub Brothers

Sie sind zurück.

Und eigentlich waren sie nie ganz weg. In den letzten Jahren haben sich Ashraf Sharif Khan und Viktor Marek einen ganz eigenen Platz in den Gehörmuscheln erspielt – allein durch die Wucht, den Witz und die Wellen ihrer unglaublichen Live-Sets.

Das Bemerkenswerte: Ihr Debütalbum „Suﬁ Dub Brothers“ erschien erst im August 2020, mitten im Pandemie-Wirrwarr – und nach beinahe zehn Jahren Produktionszeit. Timing ist relativ. Aber offenbar zweitrangig, wenn der Groove stimmt.

Ashraf und Viktor – Zwillinge von verschiedenen Kontinenten, bei der Geburt getrennt, aber wiedervereint (ob durch kosmische Fügung oder defekte Technik, bleibt offen) – haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, den Menschen den extraplanetarischen Hüftschwung zu bringen.

Live setzen sie auf Beats, Synths und Sitar – und hinterlassen nach ihren Shows ganze Reihen von Erdbewohner*innen mit offenen Mündern (grinsend) und offenen Schuhsohlen (tanzend). Zwischen Suﬁ und Sound-System, zwischen Ekstase und Erdung in ihrem selbst erfundenen MusikGenre „Suﬁ-Step“

Inzwischen verzichten sie ganz auf ihre vollen Künstlernamen und treten schlicht als Suﬁ Dub Brothers auf. Und genau unter diesem Namen steht nun der nächste Schritt an:

Ihr neues Album „The Return of the Suﬁ Dub Brothers“ erscheint im November 2025 beim genreoffenen Label Fun In The Church.

Der Titel? Eine liebevolle Verneigung vor Lee “Scratch” Perry – und ein Augenzwinkern in Richtung überdrehter Superhelden-Serien.

Die Musik? Noch tiefer, noch dubbiger, noch tanzbarer. Ein weiterer Beweis dafür, dass Dub und Sitar zusammen nicht nur Sinn ergeben, sondern auch die Tanzﬂäche retten können.
