DJ Sedyst & DJ Branka
DJ Sedyst and DJ Branka are ‘Berlin-based travellers’. On her way from Bosnia to Sweden,
DJ
Branka was picked up by a white Citroën, which eventually dropped her off in
Cologne, Germany, where she became a light technician for superstars. Apart
from that, she joined the organising team of Buschwindröschen, a local queer
nightclub. After an encounter with some ‘crazy immigrants’ she moved last year
to the German capital. In Berlin, she runs a series of music-events under the
title ‘Starlights: Mama’s Lounge’.
After a longer journey to California, DJ Sedyst (Seda Gürses) settled in Berlin to continue
her ‘never-ending studies’. DJ Ipek, who introduced her to the club and DJ
scene, arranged her first gig at a club on New Year’s Eve. Since then, she has
DJ-ed in different settings around Germany and abroad. She has played
turntables at Kanak Attak, the International Women’s University (IFU), as well
as at DasArts and Paradiso in Amsterdam. Recently, she joined Kanak Dada, a
group that unites immigrant artists who mix different formats of music and
visuals. Along with enjoying hours and hours of music and dancing, she hopes to
finish her studies in computing in the near future.
DJs Sedyst and Branka have been working together for two years. Both have a
soft spot for Ljubljana…
