Foehn & Jerome feat. Sonya Zlo – Macho Madness // Perfumed Freedom – PFFD003

Berlin, Summer 2025 – A raw, hypnotic, and deeply conceptual collaboration is about to make waves. Austrian DJ and producer duo Foehn & Jerome, residents of Berlin’s iconic Club Der Visionaere and founders of the Perfumed Freedom label, team up with Ukrainian artist and producer Sonya Zlo to present “Macho Madness” – a wild and genre-bending release born from an unfiltered studio jam that spiralled into something bigger. In addition to their experimental project Space Curls, with which the three artists also perform live shows, Sonya, Fabian, and Jerome have been working on their new techno/house project.

In a world where stereotypes wrestle for power, “Macho Madness” challenges everything we thought was normal. Overblown masculinity, the illusion of strength, and staged rituals of dominance – that is what we call the “Macho Madness”.

Foehn & Jerome, known for their electrifying DJ sets, have been shaping Berlin’s underground scene for over a decade. Sonya Zlo, who moved to Berlin from Kyiv in 2022, stumbled upon their gig by chance – and what started as a conversation about track ID’s turned into a full-on collaboration.

“Working with Foehn & Jerome has taught me so much,” says Sonya. “I come from a jazz background, so this was completely new territory for me – but bringing my melodic instincts into this heavy, industrial sound was crazy exciting”.

Following Perfumed Freedom’s recent releases “The Frisbee of No Return” and “Hermanngirl”, the new record “Macho Madness” will be released in summer 2025. Play it, stream it, or pick up the limited vinyl – just don’t expect anything ordinary.
