About Us

exude records is a music label run by and featuring trans* artists embodying a diverse spectrum of electronic sounds. Conceived by T4T lovers Hanna (aka DAMIANA) and Mel in 2023, exude began as a series of community raves in Berlin showcasing talented trans*disciplinary performers while supporting mutual aid fundraisers. So far there are 4 critically acclaimed releases on exude records.

exude has collaborated with over 40 international artists on 10 events in Berlin and Lisbon. We host a monthly show on Lisbon’s East Side Radio and have hosted guest radio shows on Refuge Worldwide, Cashmere Radio, and been interviewed on KEXP Seattle. Our events have been featured in KALTBLUT, Siegessäule, iHeartBerlin and Yeoja Mag. 

Additionally, we have proudly raised over €20.000 in mutual aid fundraisers, produced widely-shared community support resources, and provided direct assistance to trans* peers with healthcare and bureaucratic challenges. 

** under the umbrella of trans* we include: transgender, intersex, agender, gender non-conforming and non-binary folks.
