Saeleen Bouvar stands as the visionary behind the groundbreaking TRANSTRONICA Festival, now entering its third consecutive year as the world's first and only electronic music festival featuring a purely trans lineup. Renowned for her sets saturated with queerness, Bouvar crafts narratives brimming with passion and sensuality, igniting dance floors and evoking a palpable intensity that leaves bodies glistening with sweat. Since its inception in May 2017, Bouvar has served as the Salonnière of Salon Queertronique, infusing Hamburg's club scene with vital TransVisibility behind the decks. Drawing from over three decades of queer club culture, her sets are a testament to her profound understanding of the genre. With a philosophy rooted in "Recreate-Restore-Reform," she resurrects the sonic essence of historic gay discos and later queer clubs, seamlessly blending them with contemporary elements to forge a wholly new experience. Bouvar's signature sound exudes a refined, feminine elegance, effortlessly traversing realms from disco and Chicago house to acid house, electroclash, and techno...

Queer House Odyssey Part 2 @Salon Queertronique
"La House Retrouvée" was the theme of last Salon Queertronique, a party series dedicated to trans visibility as well as to queer club culture in general. The second part of my House Odyssey is a trip down memory lane, where I found myself inside the 90s, the golden era of House music. The 90s not only had an immediately recognisable beat structure, they were highlighting black and brown voices which took the queer audience to church. After the decriminalisation of homosexuality, queerdom found its place inside club music, a soundtrack sung by trans women and effeminate gay men. With no further ado, please enjoy my first vocal house set!
