A Berlin-style underground rave. Private party. Big sound. Dance all night. Until very late.

Berlin Club Culture
When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the city was left with hundreds of abandoned buildings and empty factories. Within months, young Berliners had turned them into illegal clubs. No curfew. No rules. No closing time.
Techno was the soundtrack, and they partied for days. Berlin took the genre born in Detroit and made it darker, slower, more hypnotic. Clubs like Tresor, E-Werk and Ostgut defined the sound. Berghain, Kit Kat Clubs continue it today.
The door policy that seems harsh from outside exists to protect something rare - a room where people shed social norms and be whoever they want.

THE DOOR
There is a strict door policy. No one knows what it is.
Our bouncer trained under Sven Marquardt — the man on Berghain's door since 1998, whose answer to "How do I get in?" is simply: Zero.
The standards are high. Entirely subjective. Even regulars only get in about 80% of the time.
What helps: knowing the DJ's name. Being interesting. Not trying.
