AS A DJ ON THE ASCENDANT, A CRUCIAL VOICE IN BERLIN NIGHTLIFE, AND AN ADVOCATE FOR QUEER AND MARGINALISED ACTORS IN THE SCENE, ALVA’S ATTENTION IS ALWAYS FOCUSED OUTWARDS. HER OBSERVANT NATURE IS UNFAILINGLY EVIDENT, WHETHER IN THE PROTECTIVE ENVIRONMENT OF HER CALYX PARTIES OR WHEN DJING AROUND THE WORLD, COCOONING RAPT DANCERS WITHIN HER SIGNATURE FAST-PACED STYLE, LACED WITH DRIVING HYPNOTISM, EXACTING PRECISION, THOUGHTFUL BUILDS AND INTUITIVE RESPONSES.

WHILE BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN CDJS AND VINYL, ALVA’S SKILL AND DEDICATION FIRST CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF CREWS AND PROMOTERS IN BERLIN AND QUICKLY BEYOND. IN 2018 SHE WAS INVITED TO JOIN THE INFAMOUS ISMUS COLLECTIVE, KNOWN FOR HOSTING SOME OF THE MOST INTENSE AND EXTENDED PARTIES IN THE GERMAN CAPITAL; IN THE YEARS SINCE, SHE HAS PLAYED AT DEMONSTRATIONS AND DIY AFFAIRS ALONGSIDE RENOWNED QUEER CLUBS NIGHTS LIKE MALA JUNTA IN BERLIN, ENDURANCE IN COPENHAGEN AND FOLD IN LONDON, AS WELL AT PRETTY EVERY MAJOR NIGHTSPOT IN HER HOMETOWN, INCLUDING SÄULE AT BERGHAIN.
