Make Electronic Music Black Again

As part of the "Tag der Clubkultur" we are hosting a night that puts the club back at the center as a space of resistance, self-expression and community.

The theme of the evening is "Make Electronic Music Black Again." Berlin’s club scene, after the reunification of the city, was built through improvised raves and squatted houses, that spirit still shapes the city today.

At the same time, we want to highlight that electronic music is not just Berlin’s story, but above all Black history. Without the influence of Afro-diasporic communities, there would be no House, no Techno – and none of what Berlin is now celebrated for worldwide.

At a time when third spaces are disappearing, our event opens a space where migrant, queer and international perspectives come together, share their realities and imagine new futures. For us, club culture is more than just a party – it has always been a political practice.

audacity

As the collective Audacity, we started a party series in 2024 that deliberately runs outside the mainstream. We noticed that in Berlin there are hardly any spaces left where the music we love happens on a regular basis: rap in all its forms, trap, jersey club, juke, experimental club music with electronic influences. These genres exist, but mostly scattered, without a fixed spot – a safe space where music and community are at the center.

Our first party in November 2024 laid the foundation, and the second one in June 2025, as the afterparty to Karneval der Kulturen, showed how strong the demand for exactly this vibe is.

With Audacity, we want to create a home for a scene that usually gets too little visibility: a space where people can feel free, where diversity is celebrated, and where the energy of these sounds is not just heard, but experienced together.
