Tausend House: Somme Farris

Somme Farris is a Berlin-based DJ, sound system builder, and event curator whose sets are built around texture, pressure, and movement. Drawing on years of digging and a deep connection to sound-system culture, he blends raw, percussive grooves with Middle Eastern rhythmic influences, creating a house-leaning sound that feels physical, detailed, and deeply room-focused.

Beyond the booth, Somme is the founder of Phact, a rave series centered around sound systems and an alternative approach to club culture, and the mind behind Alephalef Sound, where he designs and rents bespoke sound systems. He also runs Rama, a night dedicated to NYC house and club culture, adding another layer to his work as a selector and curator.

For Tausend House, expect a set with drive and detail: textured drums, warm low-end, unexpected turns, and a steady sense of flow built for the dance floor.
