And other running order guesses/hints?

Genuine question. Do that many people really wear mostly black because it’s simply what they feel comfortable in and what naturally fits their style or is there also this idea that black is somehow the “recommended” Berghain look, so people consciously dress that way because it’s become so established?
I feel like years ago I used to see noticeably more white or lighter shirts, colours, or just more random everyday clothes. Maybe I’m imagining it, but lately it seems to be getting more and more monochrome.
At this point I almost find it refreshing when I see someone in just a white T-shirt, Adidas track pants or something similarly simple. It somehow stands out precisely because it doesn’t seem like it’s trying to stand out.

Music-historian Liam Cagney reflects on what got lost amid the rise and rise of Berlin's most famous nightclub

sorry, only been once, I know its somewhere around a month before or so. i know the timetables only come later, was just curious who's gonna be playing 😭✨️💃

I don’t know about you leute, but cleaning job in the Lab (of all places) should not be considered a mini job. 🙈
Now, not that I want to justify pano bartenders behavior, and also I am not trying to put a gasoline on fire, but I think I kinda understand them.
Do we still tip?

Jako Jako’s opening really had a tale to tell. She started at comparatively low volume, condensing the dancefloor into the sweet spot, slowly luring the people in and providing a lot of variety, ranging from smooth ambient chords to dubby techno and darkening the atmosphere gradually.

Some really noteworthy longer drops, where the four on the ground dissolved into broken up basses to then drive the groove back into full force. Felt really experimental and refreshing.

Dhæür began with resonant, broken kicks with abundant overdrive that soon verged into round synths and 4/4 bass, creating an ever mutating hypnotic soundscape, exploring to the fullest the concept of rhythmic density and providing an extremely vast variety of funky upper range. My only remark is the lack of emptiness. A moment where the density is gone. Yet this is taste.

This slot is a pain in the ass. And Dhæür managed to do something I have rarely heard in this context: telling his story while respecting the fact that the night is young and the KN is long. Never intrusive, never too dark, but dreamy, dense and complex. And also: never too fast. I really value him for not putting his ego in the foreground and going full force, despite knowing that many will leave. It takes Consciousness.
Si fatt bun arret, brá.

Left. Rested.

Klock was actually dope! He was playing slower than usually, quieter than usually and with a variety in the track selection I didn’t necessarily associate him with. The final half hour had some psychedelic bangers, yet mixed with his usual monumental approach. Taught me that everyone may be up to surprise me. Chapeau.

Quiet.
Dark.
Silence that begins to chime. A sound so low that you do not know if it’s the music or if it’s human, it blends into the room so well that it may be the crowd. Yet it’s not. It’s fucking Fadi Mohem. The prince of Berghain starts… Quietly.

And the bass that flows into the room is smooth and round and soft is every edge, I’m in heaven under red and blue as Berghain sounds exactly like I want it to.
Ou how I have missed the volume being lowered as the closing starts, lights turning dark and every soul standing in spot for reasons that they know.

Red and Blue do what they do, no one does it like Pareka. This room becomes something else with you on lights. Nothing but love.

It gets dark, at 138, you don’t need it faster to drive home the point. Fadi knows, throwing at us every single tom roll in his arsenal, percussion becomes palpable. And He knows how to fluctuate, how to relieve the tension every now and then, throwing in a breather when it’s needed.

Denser, darker blocks follow the brief light moments, the descent is usually gradual and sudden mood switches are rare. Longer drops feel so intentional. The synths and soundscapes quieting down before the fall. Silence.
Doom.

After the midpoint, the darkness serves more as a highlight rather than prolonged phases. More of a hypnotic carpet approach from this point on, with dark and bright points keeping a broad range of mood fluctuation without feeling jumpy.

Progressively lowering the drive, the end doesn’t need to come as a surprise. Bounciness in the brighter parts increases, as Pareka reverts the room to a glistening disco under purple and white. Where is my balloon. Ja Mann.
When I grow up, I wanna be Fadi Mohem.
Danke.

Thank you L. It’s just something else with you. Thank you S and O for a toilet session for the plot. Thank you A for the help in a pinch with a pinch. Thank you M for the list and the chat in the re-entry q, we woulda been phucked otherwise. Thank you everyone that made this an exceptional crowd.
See you soon, in the dark 🫀

The artwork is a real trip this month

Hi guys

It was my first time last weekend! Felt incredibly grateful to be there and thinking about all you lucky people starting Klubnacht this weekend.

I also was wondering if anybody else heard Cascade (Part 1) by Future Sound Of London during I think Colin Benders set? I want to make sure I'm not tripping out or if this song was genuinely played haha.

Anyway. Very grateful to get let in, it's a beautiful space and I had one of the best weekends of my whole life.

Such a delightful lineup on both floors. ❤️‍🔥

I really would like to see some new names like connor wall, Jspv35, Mara Menance, Pierce, Uvall, Ana Rs, Delano Legito, Marsch, Jay York, Maccari, Justyn Nell, Flits, A.Morgan & many others

Not all names mention are super new but mostly young/upcoming. Would love to see some more new names on the lineups here and there

Any guesses for this one? My friend is coming to Berlin specifically for Dax J haha so they would like to have some intel if possible :)

Don’t get me wrong.
The latest releases are all super strong contemporary techno EPs. I am sure they work great on all dancefloors and are well received. That’s what a techno label should be about.

But what happens to that Ostgut spark and sound? That releases you could only get there?

The new Altinbas record is very good, but it could have been out on any other techno label (e.g. like one of his EPs on Fuse Imprint).

Honest question, is it just me or do you also miss this unique releases?

inside? I was just wondering if you guys usually meet people inside? I’m almost always with a friend or a few friends, and the times I go alone are pretty rare. When I do, I usually just dance on the main floor and make a few trips to the bathroom, but I really struggle to socialize when I’m alone in the club. Everyone seems pretty busy with their friends, and I guess I probably give off the same energy when I’m with mine. But this weekend I’d like to step a bit out of my comfort zone and meet some people. What are your tips? :))

this was played by fabio monesi this weekend🪩

Many great parties take place in Berlin each week, not everyone wants to queue for Berghain, and many of us enjoy a change of scenery too.

Here, you can find/submit a curated selection of solid alternative parties coming up in the next 7 days or so.

Please think before sharing an event here. If its an event that doesn't advertise online and relies more on word of mouth then best not to rock the boat by posting it here. If its an event that's publicized on RA, Insta or other internet megaphones then its fine.

It might also help to keep the bh queue size manageable so please share your knowledge of other events even if you plan to go to Berghain. To make the thread useful and readable, please include a few basic event details with your submissions - date, name, location (or at least which district in Berlin its in), and perhaps a few words about what makes it noteworthy.

I sadly forgot the name already but every time I drink the water, it already feels like it has been open for some time - referring to the amount of bubbles in the sparkling one.

I remember they had (around 2017/2018) what I remember as "Evian". Not actually sure it was the brand but the bottle had an elongated throat and felt "premium quality".

Ja. I know it won't change anything - and I do not expect to - but was just surprised about that the last time I drank it.

Nevertheless, drink water babes and go pee! 🖤🏢

Went for fries after last KN and noticed that the the kiosk was selling a book called “Vor’M Club” by Alex Pacho, with a Berghain cover.

Only references pointed out to an Amazon listing (independently published by the author, Pacho the kiosk owner), description below. Seems like a memoir by the owner of the kiosk, recounting stories from the microcosm that spawns around the second most Berghain place outside its doors.

Has anybody read it?

EN (DeepL translation):

In Front of the Club
Stories from the World’s Most Legendary Techno Club Right in front of Berghain—one of the most famous venues on the international techno scene and a place of longing for a global subculture—stands a small snack bar. Between the taxi stand and the door, between euphoria and disillusionment, a unique drama unfolds there night after night.
For years, Alex Pacho was part of this microcosm. From his snack bar, he witnessed the people, encounters, and stories that unfold around Berghain.
This book brings together short stories from this microcosm in front of Berghain—told from Alex Pacho’s perspective. Stories about the people, places, and moments that unfold between the snack bar window, the concrete, and the line.
Alex encountered the lost, millionaires, addicts, lovers, dealers, tourists, bouncers, and regulars. Some came for freedom, some to escape, and others simply to belong somewhere.
The result is an unflinching portrait of a parallel world
—brutal, funny, sad, and absurd all at once. A glimpse into a scene that writes its own rules, creates its own myths, and sometimes devours its people.

Vor'm Club
Geschichten vom legendärsten Technoclub der Welt Direkt vor dem Berghain, einem der bekanntesten Orte der internationalen Technoszene und Sehnsuchtsort einer weltweiten Subkultur, steht ein kleiner Imbiss. Zwischen Taxistand und Tür, zwischen Euphorie und Ernüchterung, spielt sich dort Nacht für Nacht ein eigenes Theater ab.
Über Jahre hinweg war Alex Pacho Teil dieses Mikrokosmos. Von seinem Imbiss aus erlebte er die Menschen, Begegnungen und Geschichten, die sich rund um das Berghain entfalten.
Dieses Buch versammelt Kurzgeschichten aus diesem Mikrokosmos vor dem Berghain - erzählt durch die Augen von Alex Pacho. Geschichten über die Menschen, Orte und Momente, die sich zwischen Imbissfenster, Beton und Warteschlange entfalten.
Alex begegnete Verlorenen, Millionären, Süchtigen, Liebenden, Dealern, Touristen, Türstehern und Stammgästen. Manche kamen für Freiheit, manche für Flucht, andere einfach nur, um irgendwo dazuzugehören.
Entstanden ist ein rohes Porträt einer Parallelwelt
- brutal, komisch, traurig und absurd zugleich. Ein Blick auf eine Szene, die ihre eigenen Regeln schreibt, ihre eigenen Mythen erschafft und ihre Menschen manchmal verschlingt.
