DAY DJ: Vinzenz

Day DJ is a weekly series at Villa Vida Café. Each Friday, local DJs take over the space and share their sound in a daytime setting. The focus is on new talent, experimentation, and community.

This is a place to build sets, try ideas, and connect through music.

The format is open and relaxed. You can come to listen, work, meet people, or stay for the full set. The aim is to create a consistent platform where DJs grow their practice and support each other.

New to DJing but already building a very distinct sound, they work with a mix of flea market discoveries, archival records, and digital experimentation. Their collection ranges from 1920s–1980s vinyl, with a focus on South American music, Caribbean rhythms, jazz, swing, and vintage Schlager — especially releases from Vienna Phon and Donauland.

DJs have played a central role in queer culture. In spaces where queer people were excluded, DJs created environments where identity and expression could exist. Through sound, they shaped rooms, built connections, and guided shared experiences.

Many of the sounds and practices that define nightlife today grew out of queer spaces. House, disco, and club culture were shaped by queer communities, especially Black and Latinx scenes.

Day DJ continues this history by creating space for new voices and keeping this culture active.
