Alva

We had seen Alva’s name on Berlin line-ups many times but never had the chance to catch her live. After diving into her sets and streams, we had been keeping her in mind for one of our Lowpass nights for a while. She delivered an extended closing set, driving yet deep and elegant.

Alva biography

Alva is a crucial voice in Berlin nightlife and an advocate for queer and marginalized actors in the scene. With an innate ability to captivate and energize her audience, cocooning rapt dancers with 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 club nights like Mala Junta in Berlin, Endurance in Copenhagen, and Unfold in London, as well as at pretty much every major nightspot in her hometown, including Tresor and Säule at Berghain.
