Berlin’s underground club scene has always been political, but few artists embody the intersection of music, activism, and community building quite like DJ Meg10. Known for her genre-blurring sets and her work with Hoe__Mies, she’s reshaping nightlife by creating safe spaces for underrepresented voices.
In this candid conversation, Playful TV’s Amanda Sandström Beijer meets Meg10 for a date—not just to talk about her music, but to dive into the realities of dating as a DJ, curating community-driven spaces, and why her Boiler Room statement sparked a conversation far beyond the dancefloor.
Hoe__Mies: More Than a Party
For many, Hoe__Mies is more than just a record label or a club night—it’s a political movement wrapped in bass-heavy beats. Meg10 opens up about why creating space for marginalized artists isn’t just important—it’s essential.
“It’s about taking up space unapologetically,” she says. “For too long, club culture has been dictated by the same faces, the same sounds. Hoe__Mies is about rewriting that narrative.”
Her first release under the label marks a new chapter, blending club, Jersey, and ballroom influences into a sound that’s both hard-hitting and deeply intentional.
Boiler Room: A Statement Beyond the Set
Meg10’s Boiler Room set wasn’t just a showcase—it was a statement. From her track selection to her unapologetic presence behind the decks, the moment resonated with many who have felt overlooked in electronic music.
“When you step into that space, you know people are watching,” she reflects. “So why not use that visibility to make a point?”
With underground scenes increasingly commodified, Meg10 is determined to keep DIY, community-driven spaces alive—even if it means challenging the status quo.
Dating a Community Builder
Of course, no Playful TV date is complete without getting into the messy world of love and relationships.
What’s it like to date a DJ, producer, and activist? Meg10 keeps it real about the challenges—from late-night gigs to the emotional weight of constantly fighting for space in an industry resistant to change.
“It takes someone who gets it,” she admits. “Someone who understands that this isn’t just a job—it’s a whole way of life.”
What’s Next for Meg10?
With new releases, a growing movement behind Hoe__Mies, and an ever-expanding global audience, Meg10 isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
