adjective: perverse
Late Middle English (in the sense ‘turned away from what is right or good’): from Old French pervers(e), from Latin perversus ‘turned about’, from the verb pervertere (see pervert).
Music, dancing, fetish, and fashion come together once again in DC, and in celebration of Pride Month. PERVERSE is a queer techno fetish party. PROJEKT GESTALTEN, is an eminent figure in Berlin's sexually liberated party scene, notably with PORNCEPTUAL, and is the head of the VRAAA label. Well-known in the underground Berlin rave scene, Projekt Gestalten's style is hailed as “sissy queer techno.”
“Projekt Gestalten’s sissy queer persona along with their feminine energy flaunts an unrivaled promiscuity and pushes techno and its artistic sexual appetite that much further. Their exploration of pornography as an art form has led to global events and parties that encourage us to freely embrace and show off our sexuality. Projekt Gestalten's DJ sets feature provocative attire, pushing the boundaries of techno music and artistic expression. They have gained recognition worldwide, playing at notable venues from around the world, establishing themselves as a trailblazing queer music identity.”
Who remembers when Pornceptual got so hot, it was immediately taken off the air and later would be found on Pornhub? We hope this gives you an idea of where Perverse can go!
There have been a lot of discussions on kink and fetish during Pride and the best response was: “… [BDSM and subversive sexuality] has always been an inherent expression of queer culture and sexuality, and as such deserve a place at Pride as much as anything.” (them)
