The Human Club Podcast

Growing up in Las Vegas during the casino boom wasn't exactly a fairytale. A child to blue collar workers with rock and roll attitudes building up the “City of Sin”, Stevie’s upbringing was characterized by the echos of the Gold Rush and contrasts between excess and scarcity, struggles and dreams.  In the midst of all this chaos, art remained Stevie’s refuge and reprieve since their earliest years. With extra encouragement and nourishment from their grandma, Stevie was instilled with the deep belief that they were destined for something greater.  One massive arts scholarship to the highly esteemed San Francisco Art Institute later, Stevie was on their way. After graduation, Berlin called to be their destined home.  The underground art and rave scene was exploding, and Stevie showed up with makeup, wardrobe, and a pure creative fire to Be the art. Fast forward and they've co-created Phantazonia with Phoenix — a legendary experiential arts company driven by radical self-expression, collaboration, and transformation.  Now? Stevie is killing the game with their successful tooth gem studio, thriving in Berlin's creative scene and continuing with their passions around authentic expression and world-building.  This is a story about carving your own path through resilience, ambition, and perseverance.  Unfiltered, honest, and absolutely essential listening.

After first linking up with Adam around social media bookings and naturally becoming close friends along the way, Popsie and Adam were invited by Von Peach Art Club for a conversation on Hedonism. What started as an interview quickly evolved into a magazine spread.   During that exchange, Popsie noticed how open Adam was really stepping into his story and unpacking his journey through Berlin’s Night life. That journey led him to co-founding the iconic LunchBox Candy party, and now stepping into his role as co-organiser of its next evolution: Tracey, launching this Sunday.   Adam gets into how it all started; being drawn in from a young age by the lights, the movement, the chaos of nightlife. But more interestingly, he speaks on the shift. From LunchBox, they expanded into “LunchBox Sugar Free” a consumption-free party concept built around dance workshops and connection. It’s a space for people who are stepping away from the excess, but still want to feel part of something. No pressure, no expectations just presence. This one is a special one!

Engineer & Psychologist Phoenix Runs off to the Circus. Raised in Roanoke, Virginia, Phoenix followed the linear path: education, profession, stability. But beneath it was years of alienation, bullying, and the quiet sense of not belonging. After years of feeling out of place and unseen, a chance encounter with psychedelics cracks open a different way of experiencing life. One circus show later, Phoenix walked away from the expected life to become a circus monk and pursue their dreams as a performance artist. Today, they are a Berlin-based performer, director, and co-founder of Phantazonia Collective—building a life that trades certainty for expression, and structure for something far more alive.
