Major Arcana clubnight
Major Arcana is an AGENRE & GENREQUEER clubnight where majority of DJs are FLINTAQ* who play variety of styles of (often post-) club music, and each DJ plays one hour at the time. Visitors also pull one tarot card to take home. We currently choose a new deck for every event.
"Modern Witchcraft has in many ways become a refuge for the disenfranchised. Tarot is a way to explore oneself as much as the world. For many people of color, LGBTQ+ people and femme folks, it can be a way of retaking power. It can be a way of connecting with a part of themselves that they didn't even know they were cut off from, and of seeking answers to questions they were previously afraid to ask." (via Lisa Sterle)

MAJOR ARCANA #9 (6.SEPT, 2024): DIᙇASTER, ESTERA, PRINCE LUCIJA
Plesni transžanrski klub Major Arcana nadaljuje z večernimi trojkami FLINTAQ* DJk_jev po sodobni liniji pokvirjenih plesnih elektronskih žanrov. Poleg rezidentxe P.L. se tokrat vrača odlična Estera, z veseljem pa delimo reglerje z letošnjo debitantko DIᙇASTER, ki zna ubrati nenavadbe bass perturbacije.
## DIᙇASTER
Ljubljanska debitantka na basovski DJ sceni. Večinoma obožuje nevro DnB, vendar se rada poigrava tudi z drugimi žanri, kot so dubstep, garage in druge.
Ljubljana based, baby DJ on the bass scene. Mostly loves neuro DnB but still loves to play around with other music like dubstep, garage and more.

## ESTERA
Estera je lokalna dj-ka, ki stremi h konstantemu odkrivanju novega, spajanju različnega in ustvarjanju prijetnih in varnih plesišč. Preko jezika glasbe raziskuje možnosti povezovanja in vključevanja, kar se odraža tudi pri selekciji. Pri njenih setih lahko vedno pričakujemo močne base, ritmične igre in nekaj svežine.
Estera is a local dj that is always in search for new stuff, loves to mix it all up and strives to create safe dancefloors. She is looking for different ways to connect and diversify, which can be also noticed in her sets. With Estera we can always expect strong bass, rythmic games and a pinch of freshness.
## PRINCE LUCIJA (aka LUKA PRINČIČ)
Luka (vsi zaimki) ima za seboj skoraj 30 letno pot produkcije elektronske in računalniške glasbe, nastopov, DJ setov, klubskih večerov, novomedijske umetnosti, performansa, aktivizma, zagovorništva, ter različnih glokalnih avtonomnih tehno-skupnosti. Na plesišču ga_jo še vedno najbolj intrigirajo bass odvodi sinkopiranega post-elektra s poceni brejki in kreativni prehodi med maskaro in eyelinerjem.
Luka (any pronoun) has a nearly 30-year career of electronic and computer music production, live performances, DJ sets, club nights, new media art, performance art, activism, advocacy, and various glocal autonomous-tech groups. On the dancefloor, s/he is still most intrigued by the bassy offshoots of syncopated post-electro with cheap breaks and creative transitions between mascara and eyeliner.
MAJOR ARCANA #8 (7.JUNIJ, 2024): MOSKA, RAKETA, LUKA PRINČIČ
Plesni transžanrski klub Major Arcana po dobrem letu delovanja nadaljuje z rednimi večernimi trojkami FLINTAQ* DJk_jev po sodobni liniji pokvirjenih plesnih elektronskih žanrov. Poleg rezidentxe L.P. se tokrat vrača odlična Raketa, ob njima pa bo z basi vibrirala Moska, ki zadnja leta hara pri nas in v tujini.
After more than a year of operation, the transgenre dance club Major Arcana continues with regular evening trios of FLINTAQ* DJs following a contemporary lineage of twisted electronic dance genres. Alongside resident L.P., the excellent Raketa is back again, with Moska who has been playing here and abroad for the last few years, she will be vibrating with the bass alongside them.
## MOSKA
Moska je začela aktivno didžejati okoli leta 2015 in od takrat nastopa v različnih državah po Evropi (Švedska, Hrvaška, Srbija, Slovenija, Avstrija), na različnih festivalih in radijskih postajah, kot so Elevate, Impulstanz, MENT, FM4, Redlight Radio, Radio Helsinki, Res.Radio, Radio Nula in Radio Študent. Je del ne enega, temveč kar treh kolektivov, ki povezujejo njen trikotnik domačih baz: Service (Dunaj), Whammy (Gradec) in Ghetto Trunk (Ljubljana). Moska resnično in temeljito pooseblja klasični etos didžeja: mir, enotnost, ljubezen in zabava ... in to vedno stoodstotno! Njeni odrski gibi so navdušujoče iskreni, še pomembneje pa je, da ne bere plesišča, temveč je kar njegov bistveni del.
Moska started actively DJing around 2015 and since then she has been performing in different countries across Europe (Sweden, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Austria), at different festivals and radio stations such as Elevate, Impulstanz, MENT, FM4, Redlight Radio, Radio Helsinki, Res.Radio, Radio Nula and Radio Študent. She is part of not one, but three collectives that connect her triangle of home bases: Service (Vienna), Whammy (Graz) and Ghetto Trunk (Ljubljana). Moska truly and thoroughly embodies the classic ethos of the DJ: peace, unity, love and fun ... and always 100%! Her stage movements are delightfully honest, but more importantly, she doesn't read the dance floor, she is an essential part of it.
## RAKETA
Raketa je poskočna didžejka ghetto in bass plesnih zvrsti, najraje pa rola elektro. Njeno igrišče za preučevanje klubske kulture je avtorska oddaja Vibe check na Radiu Študent, poleg tega pa je ravnokar pričela z rezidenco na belgijskem radiu založbe Black Teeth. Z nedavne turneje po Indiji prihaja kot zmagovalka v kategoriji nad 160BPM.
Raketa is a bouncy DJ of ghetto and bass dance genres, but her favourite is electro. Her playground for exploring club culture is the original show Vibe check on Radio Študent, and she has just started a residency at the Belgian radio label Black Teeth. She is coming off a recent tour of India as the winner in the over 160BPM category.

## updates
This time we will be giving away cards from Fifth Spirit Tarot by Charlie Claire Burgess. It's "a queer + inclusive deck for a world beyond binaries." Charlie writes: "The tarot thrives in liminality and nuance. The more we work with tarot, the more we realize that everything is fluid: gender, meaning, even time. We're all creatures of earth, air, fire, and water, bound together by the fifth element: spirit. This deck expands notions of gender through the juxtaposition of traditional titles and queered imagery. It encourages you to queer your practice by listening to your intuition, your personal symbolism, and your own lived wisdom. Now that's queer."
Charlie (they/them) is a queer and trans-nonbinary tarot practitioner, author, illustrator, and deck creator. They are the creator of Fifth Spirit Tarot (indie 2020, Hay House 2022), and The Gay Marseille, a cheeky, queer update on the classic Tarot de Marseille (available 2024). They are the author of Radical Tarot (Hay House 2023), a revolutionary guide to reading tarot for personal and collective liberation.

MAJOR ARCANA #7 (5. APRIL, 2024): MSN GF, BLAŽEN DJ, LUKA PRINČIČ
## MSN GF
Despite her genre commitment issues, the rising DJ/producer msn gf, a member of the Ljubljana collectives Ustanova and Nimaš Izbire, remains devoted to the bittersweet drama of forgotten pop ballads, spiced up with contemporary cutting-edge production.
