Description

Historically, queer people have found their chosen family through nightlife culture. Even in today's digital age, in-person events are irreplaceable. Opal Underground’s intent for their club nights is to create an inclusive, safer space for Portland’s queer communities so that we can come together to spread love and joy on the dancefloor. Special Guest DJ: Massimiliano Pagliara (Panorama Bar, BERLIN) Massimiliano Pagliara was born in Tricase (Lecce) in the deep south of Italy. Already as a child he listened to diverse types of music: rap, classical, reggae, dub and 60s rock’n’roll. Coming from this small village, he and his friends created a small musical world for themselves, spending a lot of time every day playing records in his basement and at private parties. After finishing school he ventured to Europe’s underground capital Berlin, where he continued his studies in contemporary dance, but also dived into the city’s explosive techno nightlife, particularly the renowned OstGut club. Massi’s interest in electronic music found its peak in 2003 when he finally began to pursue DJing with a passion. Ever since he’s been spinning records across the world as well as some of the most popular underground venues in Germany – among them Tape Club, SchwuZ, Tresor, ://about blank, Robert Johnson, and of course Berghain / Panorama Bar, where he holds a residency.
