Owner & founder
Gerald VDH
Gerald VDH is a Viennese DJ, curator and cultural producer who has been shaping local and international club culture for over ten years. As an openly gay artist and founder of MEAT Entertainment GmbH he sets the standard for queer visibility, diversity and safe spaces in the electronic music landscape.
His energetic, characterful techno sets have made him a name internationally: 2025 alone brought two Asia tours and numerous European bookings. At Vienna Pride he performs on Rathausplatz every year, representing the city's queer scene.
His work combines artistic innovation with social and political commitment, creating spaces where marginalised communities are not merely represented but celebrated.
Where we stand
No homophobia. No transphobia. No racism. No sexism.
Those four lines sit above everything we do. Our events bring international headliners to Vienna, support local talent at the same time, and set new standards for queer-friendly, safe club spaces.
The three areas
Three subsidiaries under one roof, each with its own job.
- MeatMarket
Events
The monthly event series FISH MARKET and F+PLUS at Grelle Forelle are two of the most defining formats in Vienna's queer club culture: innovative music programmes, international headliners and a clear commitment to diversity, inclusion and artistic freedom.
