High-intensity club pressure from two defining figures of Berlin’s underground.

CEM B2B SALOME brings together two artists forged in the same ecosystem: Berlin’s raw, underground club culture, tempered in the heat of Herrensauna. Moving fluidly between electro, acid, and fast, uncompromising techno, their shared language is physical, hypnotic, and deliberately confrontational.

 

Born in Tbilisi and now based in Berlin, SALOME channels electro and techno into sets that feel poised yet relentless. She balances technical precision with a trance-inducing pull toward hard, collective movement, folding multiple tempos and textures into a singular flow that keeps the dancefloor locked in motion.

 

CEM, a core architect of Herrensauna since its inception, operates at the intersection of curation and pure instinct. Shaped by years in independent club circles and a punk-informed sensibility, his sets draw from UK-influenced club music, breakbeats, and industrial-leaning techno. Even in the most hesitant spaces, CEM seeds an intensity that is controlled, enigmatic, and deeply physical.

 

Together, CEM B2B SALOME deliver a shared pressure system rather than a simple dialogue. Fast, dark, and emotionally charged, their B2B is built on momentum, tension and release—where rhythm and resistance collide. At Sónar Istanbul, this is club music as collective acceleration, designed to unsettle, connect, and move bodies without compromise.
