Berlin’s vibrant DJ and producer fka.m4a makes an electrifying entrance into the year with the pulsating garage club track ‘Handbag Ho’, set to drop on March 12th via HE.SHE.THEY. As fka.m4a carves their lane in Europe’s thriving club scene, 2026 shines bright with bookings at notable venues like FOLD, Sala Apolo, and essential Berlin hotspots, building on an impressive history of performances at Pornceptual, La Terrazza, Basement NY, and beyond. Their explosive 2025 festival circuit, featuring top-tier events such as Lost Village, DGTL Amsterdam, Docklands Festival, and Tomorrowland, has solidified their standing across both underground and mainstream stages.
‘Handbag Ho’ captures this electric momentum, delivering an unapologetic dancefloor experience. The track is propelled by driving kicks, a booming low-end, and soaring synth lines, anchored by a razor-sharp vocal hook that slices through the mix. The euphoric energy of house beats permeates the track’s core, intertwining moments of sensuality that are engineered for peak-time exhilaration and a liberating, sweat-drenched release.
Rooted in their North West London estate upbringing, the track reflects the artist’s first encounter with London’s queer underground scene at just 18. fka.m4a shares, “’Handbag Ho’ was born from the fusion of my North West London roots and my initial immersion into the vibrant queer underground scene in London. Releasing this single with HE.SHE.THEY. is about discovering the right frequency in a space that promotes freedom, love, and inclusivity. I feel a deep pride in sharing my music within a community that uplifts everyone.”
After honing their craft in London’s underground scene, fka.m4a took a pivotal leap to Berlin in 2019, further refining a sound that spans the full spectrum of house music, where sensuality meets high-energy euphoria. Their breakthroughs in 2023 included stellar performances at Panorama Bar and a series of live sets that collectively garnered over half a million streams, establishing a reputation for precision and emotional release. Their presence continues to flourish through renowned platforms like Warehouse Project, Sonar Festival, Time Warp, and Awakenings.
In addition to their solo work, 2024 marked the inception of CONTR4ST, their own label that has captured the attention of industry tastemakers like Dan Shake, Meg Ward, ABSOLUTE, JADE, Heidi Lawden, and Sam Divine. This label and associated event series focus on genre-blurring, emotion-driven dance tracks, launching with a sold-out party at OHM Berlin and expanding showcases across 2025, fostering a community rooted in joy and connection.
With ‘Handbag Ho’ set to ignite dancefloors, fka.m4a is on a relentless creative ascendancy, blending London’s vibrant roots with Berlin’s rhythmic precision, delivering an experience that’s unapologetically club-centric and heartfelt.
