SUMMARY:¡MASH-UP! 10 Years of the Party Series - LIVE Mercenárias (Post-P
 unk - São Paulo)
LOCATION:So36
DESCRIPTION:A BERLIN SUCCESS STORY CELEBRATES ITS ANNIVERSARY\n\nOn October
  2\, 2026\, the Berlin-based queer-feminist cultural collective ¡MASH-UP!
  Multigender/Multiworld celebrates a double anniversary at SO36: 15 years 
 as a collective and 10 years of its party series.\n\nWhat began in 2011 as
  a DIY truck at the Transgenialer CSD in Kreuzberg grew into one of Berlin
 's most distinctive and enduring queer-feminist cultural initiatives. Long
  before terms like diversity\, intersectionality or decolonization shaped 
 cultural policy debates\, ¡MASH-UP! consistently centered FLINTA*\, BIPoC
  and migrant artists from the Global South in its events.\n\nSince 2016\, 
 the collective has regularly organized club nights and interdisciplinary c
 ultural events that bring together music\, performance\, political discuss
 ion and community. Over 70 artists from Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, and North
  and Latin America have performed on ¡MASH-UP! stages to date.\n\nThe ann
 iversary night brings together everything ¡MASH-UP! has stood for over th
 e past 15 years: international networking\, musical diversity\, and dialog
 ue across scenes and generations. Artists from Berlin\, London and São Pa
 ulo share a stage — between post-punk\, rap\, electronic club music and 
 queer perspectives on culture and society.\n\nLIVE\nMERCENÁRIAS — Post-
 Punk · São Paulo/Brazil\nFormed in São Paulo in 1982\, the band was amo
 ng the first female-led acts in a scene that was\, at the time\, almost ex
 clusively male\, and remains one of the most important references in Brazi
 lian punk and post-punk. Their debut album „Cadê as Armas?“ (Baratos 
 Afins\, 1986) is considered a landmark of Brazilian music history and was 
 named by Rolling Stone Brasil one of the country's five most important pun
 k albums\; their second album „Trashland“ (EMI\, 1988) was named Album
  of the Year by music magazine Bizz. In 1986 the band also appeared in the
  Brazilian film „Vera\,“ which won the Silver Bear at the 1987 Berlina
 le.\n\nTheir international recognition grew largely through landmark compi
 lations: „Não Wave – Brazilian Post-Punk 1982–1988“ (Man Recordin
 gs\, Berlin\, 2005) — the label's very first release — placed Mercená
 rias alongside the most defining names of São Paulo's underground scene. 
 That same year\, UK label Soul Jazz Records released the double LP „O Co
 meço do Fim do Mundo / Brasilian Post-Punk 1982–88\,“ bringing „Cad
 ê as Armas?“ in full to a new global audience for the first time\; Span
 ish label Beat Generation later gave the album a standalone international 
 reissue.\n\nActive continuously since reuniting in 2006\, Mercenárias sha
 red a stage with Bikini Kill in São Paulo in 2024\, and in May 2026 perfo
 rmed the complete „Cadê as Armas?“ album at the Theatro Municipal de 
 São Paulo as part of the city's Virada Cultural — one of the most signi
 ficant performances of their career. 2026 marks the album's 40th anniversa
 ry: on their German tour\, Mercenárias bring the full album plus highligh
 ts from 43 years of band history — one of their rare performances in Ger
 many.\n\nOYÈMI NOIZE & THE SAD GIRLS — Punk · Indie · Berlin\nOyèmi 
 Noize is a Berlin-based musician whose project began as a bedroom idea and
  found its way to the stage with the band „The Sad Girls.“ Their first
  show was at SO36\, supporting fellow Berliners Pabst on the homecoming ni
 ght of their „Crushed by the Weight of the World“ tour. With a sound t
 hat blends introspective vulnerability with bursts of intense energy\, Oy
 èmi Noize & The Sad Girls fearlessly explore heartbreak\, resilience\, me
 ntal health\, empowerment\, identity and community — with a raw honesty 
 that speaks directly to listeners' own experiences. Melancholic melodies a
 nd driving rhythms meet catchy\, alternative-leaning hooks: somewhere betw
 een American Football\, The Smashing Pumpkins\, and a touch of Mannequin P
 ussy. They recently released their debut album „We Won't Leave Until We 
 Get What We Are Here For“ — a defiant statement against those who try 
 to silence marginalized voices.\n\nALICE DEE — Rap · Grime · Trap · B
 erlin\nPowerful and raw\, Alice Dee fires rap salvos over banger beats. Th
 e weapon is the word\, the mission: pushing limits. Whether spontaneous fr
 eestyles or polished lyrics\, grime\, trap or club beats — the non-binar
 y rap artist's performance is pure energy\, delivering punchlines that pro
 ve you can „kill it“ in German rap with charm\, too. Somewhere between
  mosh pit and rave\, it's a soundtrack for hungry spirits dancing out of l
 ine to driving bass. Turn-up guaranteed.\n\nDJS\nMARIE LEÃO — Indie · 
 Post-Punk · Queer Electro Pop · Berlin\nMarie Leão is a DJ and drummer 
 moving between Rio de Janeiro and Berlin\, known for unusual fusions and a
  feel for dancefloor dynamics that comes straight from her work behind the
  kit. Tonight she presents a set of indie\, alternative rock and queer pop
  — shaped by decades of band history spanning punk\, post-punk and trip-
 rock (including with Sandra Coutinho of Mercenárias in the band Shottas)
 \, as well as her role as co-founder of ¡MASH-UP!.\n\nHOUSE OF GRACE — 
 Acid · Chicago House · Garage · Latin House · Berlin\nHouse of Grace\,
  also known as Grace Kelly\, is a strong-willed Baiana who has spent years
  moving between São Paulo and Berlin. Deeply influenced by house music\, 
 she crafts sets that become true sonic journeys — a blend of acid\, Chic
 ago\, tech\, Latin and garage house with touches of Brazilian bass. In 202
 5 she celebrated 25 years as a DJ. She founded party series/collectives in

  — a fusion of post-punk attitude with the raw energy of a rock 'n' roll
  show\, performed live with a hybrid setup of analog drum machines\, modul
 ar synths and vinyl. In 2019 she became the first Brazilian to play a hard
 ware-based live set on Berghain's main floor\; she has since toured the UK

 o.\n\nABOUT ¡MASH-UP!\n¡MASH-UP! Multigender/Multiworld began in 2011 on
  a self-built truck at the Transgenialer CSD in Kreuzberg. What started as
  a DIY initiative grew into a cultural collective that has\, since 2016\, 
 regularly organized club nights and interdisciplinary cultural events brin
 ging together music\, performance\, visual arts and political discussion.
 \n\nFrom the start\, ¡MASH-UP! embraced an international outlook\, bringi
 ng artists from Europe\, Africa\, Asia\, and North and Latin America to Be
 rlin. The collective sees itself not just as an organizer\, but as a platf
 orm for cultural exchange and long-term collaboration. Many artists made t
 heir Berlin stage debut at ¡MASH-UP!.\n\nThe anniversary event at SO36 ex
 emplifies this approach: concert\, panel\, club night and performance merg
 e into one evening that tells the story of punk and post-punk from new per
 spectives\, while showing just how alive international queer-feminist netw
 orks are today.\n\nMinimum age: 18+\n\nBoletos: https://ra.co/events/25221
