Sonic Bodies: yung_womb & Nissa Carrington (SLIC Unit)

During the Opening Days, the Sonic Bodies event series invites key figures from Hamburg’s cultural and music scene to the festival centre of the 9th Triennial to explore the themes of Alliance, Infinity and Love through performance, music and discussion with the audience. The series sees itself as an open space of resonance between art, sound and urban society – as a place of encounter, listening and collective experience.

SLIC Unit co-founders yung_womb and Nissa Carrington move effortlessly between soulful selections, global club sounds and bass-heavy rhythms. Their musical approach blends diasporic soundscapes, Black electronic music and transnational club cultures – fluid, physical and always with an eye on the dancefloor.

yung_womb is a DJ, selector, and radio host based in Hamburg, known for her genre-bending style.  As co-founder of the DJ network SLIC Unit and resident at Queerpol and Golden Pudel Club, she plays an integral role in enriching underground club culture. Her sets feature a vibrant mix of baile funk, afro-latin bass, global rave, house, and U.S. club music, immersing audiences in the exhilarating and sweaty sounds of the diaspora. The infectious joy she brings to her performances is truly irresistible.

Nissa Carrington is a DJ, radio host & multidisciplinary creative based in Berlin. Firmly centering Black electronic music, her selections are a seamless transatlantic blend of contemporary club sounds and nostalgic elements, calling back to her growing up with Rap, RnB, Pop, Disco and Funk. Effortlessly gliding through both heavy hitting and groove-led sounds, she creates fluid, layered and referential sets just bound to make you move.
