DDD BETA

We are kicking off our event series called «Dark, Darker, the Darkest», and for the festival week we would like to present our “DDD BETA” - a night of underground rave energy and visual expression.

The event features dark experimental performances that challenge perceptions of identity and movement, alongside a night rave of hard techno, industrial textures, and heavy vibrations. Performances introduce unexpected cultural sparks, creating a space that feels raw, intense, and alive. By blending different styles and communities, the event becomes a place of freedom and artistic exploration, carrying forward Berlin’s tradition as a hub for encounters, transformation, and
cultural crossovers. Dark, Darker, the Darkest is a way of looking on the city’s underground culture and its spirit through the prism of dark aesthetics.

Dust’n’Roar

For almost six years, Dust’n’Roar has been creating solidarity-driven raves, drag shows, and small festivals in Berlin. We started in 2019 with a solidarity event for Russian political prisoners in a DIY space, and the experience inspired us to continue. Our events blend rave culture with drag shows, punk performances, and occasionally lectures or interactive activities, creating experiences with light, stage design, and side performances.

Our ethos is rooted in solidarity and inclusion — connecting Berlin’s queer, autonomous, and refugee communities with the techno scene. We focus on emerging DJs and producers, especially those with migration backgrounds, and on creating intentional, safe spaces for all participants.

With 9 active members and a broad network, we unite diverse subcultures under one roof, making artistic expression and political awareness inseparable. We are fully non-commercial, horizontally organised, and guided by collective decision-making and community feedback.
