If house music is about movement—of the body, the soul, and the spirit—then Daisy Weweh embodies it completely. The Ukrainian-born, Berlin-based DJ is a rising force in the city’s vibrant club scene, and her story is one of transformation, resilience, and an unwavering love for music that connects people across borders.
In the third episode of the Kassette Weißensee podcast on Hinterhaus, SEVEN resident DJ Daisy joins host Christoph Faust for a lakeside conversation about roots, risk-taking, and the rhythms that shape her.

Though born in Berlin, Daisy grew up in Kyiv, where her musical journey began. Four years ago, she found herself immersed in the DJ world through her then-boyfriend, who introduced her to the craft.
“I was in love with what he was doing, I went to all his gigs, and eventually I wanted to try it myself.”
Starting out spinning disco in Kyiv’s bar scene, Daisy soon realized she was searching for a deeper connection. That’s when she shifted toward house music—a move that resonated more deeply with her spirit and style. But just as she was finding her groove, the war in Ukraine broke out. Forced to flee, Daisy relocated to Hamburg and eventually found her way back to Berlin, the city of her birth.
That move changed everything.
“I felt like something was missing in Hamburg, I couldn’t describe it—but I knew Berlin would be good for me.”
She wasn’t wrong. Within months, she was playing gigs, developing her style, and earning a residency at SEVEN.
Her debut club set? Nothing short of legendary: a nerve-wracking first appearance at PAL, one of Hamburg’s premier clubs. “Before the gig, I couldn’t eat or sleep. I was so stressed!” she says, laughing now. “It wasn’t perfect, but it was important. Being nervous means it matters.”
Now with two years of steady growth under her belt, Daisy has found her rhythm. Her mixing is tighter, her confidence stronger, and her record bag increasingly filled with vinyl. That pursuit of playing records isn’t just aesthetic—it’s essential. “There are so many rare house tracks from the 90s that only exist on vinyl,” she explains. “I want to bring them into my sets, but I still need more practice.”
That drive to improve is part of her DNA.
“I think it’s a Ukrainian thing,” she admits. “Most of my friends from there are perfectionists. Everything has to be sharp, on point.” But Berlin has also softened her in the best ways:
“Berlin has made me more open. More chill. I’m still me, but I see so many new opportunities here.”
And she’s seizing them. Whether behind the decks or soaking up the scene around her, Daisy radiates curiosity and optimism. She’s found her people, her sound, and her space. This summer, she’s sharing lineups with artists like Excost and I Am Ayu, and continues to evolve her sets with new selections and fresh energy.

With a heart rooted in Kyiv and a future unfolding in Berlin, Daisy Weweh is one to watch. Her story reminds us: the music might start in one place, but it’s meant to be shared everywhere.
