MAMI Y PAMI is a collab between two of East London’s hottest FLINTA★ DJs, isavars and QUEENIEPRINX. isavars is an Argentine-Spanish DJ based in London, mixing sensual Latin psychedelia with thumping electronic. Playing in London and across Latin America, her sets shift between high-energy techno and house and slow, sultry cumbia and reggaeton rhythms. She crafts a dancefloor experience that’s equal parts hypnotic and playful. Electronic at heart, but always with a little bit of Latin in the mix. QUEENIEPRINX (they/them) is your local kittygurl-partyboi DJ serving bouncy beats that’ll spin you into a state of the zoomies. Their multi-genre 140bpm selections inspire connection and booty-shaking that’ll leave you purring for days. As co-founder of the @Lo’s community for FLINTA★ DJs (@losgaff) and a member of the Hub Huns collective, QUEENIEPRINX is fast making a name for themself in the queer underground nightlife scene. Having met at a rave in the summer of 2024, and forging their friendship right there on the dancefloor, MAMI Y PAMI quickly learned how to synchronise their energy to lift and inspire each other and those around them. They’ll be mixing their magic to warm you up from a gentle shuffle to a good groovy boog. Presented by Bar Dona Ltd. This is an 18+ event
