Rogue Puppet return to the Old Red Bus Station with an exciting invite to the Sqweez collective from Bucharest Romania.
Expect fast grooves and harder sounds from one of the most popular techno nights Leeds has to offer.
----------------------------------
Sqweez: Sqweez! is a rave community from Romania promoting queer arts and artists. They believe in celebrating diversity and uplifting voices that are often marginalized in mainstream society.
Their goal is to create a more inclusive and equitable world, one event at a time.
Founded in 2020 as an intimate gathering among friends, Sqweez! transitioned to the club scene with its inaugural event in December 2021. Since then, it has become a distinguished presence in the Romanian underground scene, particularly through its celebrated "Fetichista" series. These events provide a sexually liberating experience, uniting open-minded individuals in a dynamic techno environment.

FAUST (he/she/they)
FAUST began mixing in 2020, initially for friends, drawing inspiration from the high BPM, energetic sounds that have become a hallmark of his sets. In 2021, he landed his first gig at EXIL in Zurich, Switzerland followed by a crazy tour in South America in 2022.
FAUST's sets are characterized by their high-energy beats and driving rhythms but also by the range of emotions they evoke. Whether it's the exhilaration of a thumping bassline or the introspection of a more subdued melody, FAUST's music takes listeners on a journey through a wide range of emotions.
He is the founder of the Sqweez Community and Resident DJ as well as an important figure on the local underground scene.
