The renowned Swiss label Les Disques Bongo Joe is marking a milestone with an anniversary showcase on 7 October 2025 at Berlin’s Gretchen club. With one DJ and three live acts, the night promises a full-spectrum display of the label’s eclectic, border-pushing output – from transgressive dance dynamics to avant-rock eruptions and tropically infused transfeminist performance.
Jamaican trans artist Lateena joins forces with Guatemalan producer Bony Fly to deliver a fearless fusion of dancehall, shatta, reggaeton and bouyon – a bold celebration of personal emancipation on global dancefloors.

Tropical madness
Hailing from the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Blanco Teta collapse boundaries with their frenetic blend of avant-garde rock, dance and pop-punk. Their politically charged noise-pop offers a radical sonic counterstatement to genre orthodoxy.
Closing the night is Chupame El Dedo, a project originally commissioned in 2013 by Berlin’s Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Mashing death metal with tropical rhythms and hyperspeed drumming, their sound conjures a surreal kaleidoscope of what they call «tropical madness» – a sonic hall of mirrors in its most uncompromising form.
