    • Anja Schneider
      Icon of electronic music, Anja Schneider is a influential figure in Germany’s electronic music scene—DJ, producer, label owner, radio host, and event organizer with over two decades of experience. Her journey began in the early 1990s in Berlin, inspired by a night at the legendary Club Tresor. Soon after, she became part of the scene—initially as a radio host, later as a DJ. With shows like Love Radio and Dance Under The Blue Moon on Radio Fritz, she played a significant role in shaping Berlin's club culture. Alongside her radio work, she launched her DJ career, overcoming initial challenges and quickly achieving success. As co-founder of the Mobilee label from 2005, she supported international talents like Solomun and Maya Jane Coles and released her own productions, including the album Beyond The Valley. In 2017, she founded her own label, Sous Music, which reflects her personal style and provides a platform for international artists. At the same time, she expanded her radio project Club Room—now available on Apple Music—and launched the podcast Backstage, where industry topics are openly discussed. Anja Schneider is in demand worldwide—from fabric London to Ultra Miami—and remains deeply connected to the Berlin scene. In 2024, she returned to her roots with her party series PuMp at OHM Berlin: innovative, intimate, and filled with passion for new sounds, perspectives, and talents.
