Night of Stadtgarten - Late-Night-Party

Buteo

The Cologne-based vinyl enthusiast Buteo is a man of few words when it comes to his work: “I prefer to let the music speak for itself.” Known for his minimalist, warm, and groovy sounds, he brings funk and soul to the dance floor—warm, exuberant, and full of feeling.

DJ Money & MK Braun (Cologne Sessions)

Cologne scene heavyweights DJ Money and MK Braun co-founded the legendary Cologne Sessions in 2011 and shaped the JAKI (formerly Studio 672) with their unmistakable sound—a clear focus on community with a wild mix of experiments and crowd-pleasers, somewhere between Detroit house, electro, and house.

Stella Zekri & Tom-Tom Discotec Special Crew

The Tom-Tom Discotec takes over the hall—with a lineup that fits perfectly where Cologne and the world meet on the dance floor. Berlin-based DJ, singer, and curator Stella Zekri prioritizes feeling over rigid beat-matching perfection. The starting point of her musical journey was an insatiable passion for collecting records—ranging from hip-hop, funk, and soul to disco, house, dub, and acid. Support comes from the TTD universe: La Cata Montesa (Catalina Valencia) brings the pure energy of Afro-Caribbean and Latin American rhythms to the dance floor. With a keen sense of dynamics and a deep passion for analog sounds, she serves up a rousing selection of salsa dura, boogaloo, cumbia, and tropical grooves.

Tobias Thomas (Total Confusion)

Tobias Thomas, born in April 1970 in southern Germany, has been part of the inner circle of the Cologne-based electronic music label Kompakt since the early 1990s. From 1998 to 2014, he organized and hosted the legendary party series Total Confusion at what was then Studio 672 (now JAKI)—one of the best-known and longest-running electronic music series in Cologne, which influenced an entire generation.

DJ AssTits, Slaymira & Juno.J (Hyperlove)

DJ AssTits, Slaymira & Juno.J are the forces behind the queer party series Hyperlove, which always stays on the cutting edge. The FLINTA collective gets JAKI sweating with their bass-heavy sounds while consistently creating a safe space for women, queer people, and BIPOC. Since 2024, Hyperlove has been an integral part of Cologne’s nightlife and club scene.
