When I was inside it was not only the music that made the whole experience for me but the community. At regular clubs it can be hard to go off on your own and try to make friends, but here I met so many cool people, got drinks at the different bars, and made friends with a stranger and talked for over an hour who Im still in contact to this day. Also really brought together me and my friends who were there with me.

Berghain is a portmanteau of 'Kreuzberg' and 'Friedrichshain' , as it is in the border of both

The river is the border, Berghain is situated entirely in f'hain. Did you know that the consolidated borough (friedrichshain-kreuzberg) name order was decided by a coin toss? Berghain gives out little boxes of matches sometimes that say KREUZFRIEDRICHS which I think is funny. :D

@@HamburgRockerFrom one pro to another I must say.. Best sweet spot you've experienced was indoors? In a building that is concrete and steel, both super reflective materials.. AND they use Funktion One (!!) last I checked -- a company that only started producing linear systems within the past 10 years.. Not looking to educate a professional, but a significant percentage of large sound systems (150-300 kW) will have a line array component, which by design disperses sound evenly over a massive area. In fact the best listening experience I've had at high volume was a TURBOSOUND rig, configured with line arrays! Could be heard with the same clarity from 1.5km away as up close, and absolutely no ringing in the days after. Pure, dynamic and high definition. Especially in the midrange, where F1 is particularly lacking.

I don't know a lot about technical stuff, but when the djs play live they like create the song by adding sounds live, when they don't play live it doesn't mean they just press play and pretend as if they were doing something but they actually mix and everything. Sometimes it's even harder to mix than playing live tho.

Yeah, LIVE means they play the music live and not just mix together different producers' ready-made tracks. Usually the LIVE setup is also different from the usual dj setup and can consist of e.g. drum machines, effect pedals, laptops with midi controllers, whereas dj setup usually consists of a dj mixer, turntables and cdjs.

Got number 3 totally wrong....a Live set is when an act produces on the spot and a DJ set is when an act mixes records together etc...Berghain is often the pinnacle of a Techno artists career they wouldn't ruin that chance by 'pretending' to play.....there are many people who go to Berghain to warch the artist mix and it would be obvious if the DJ was pretending lol

Hi, I like your videos. Especially the funny ones. I was a regular in many clubs at the very beginning. Today I’m back in Berlin, loved techno all my life, and I am rejected at Berghain. Why? Just because I’m older? Discrimination. Absolute shame. All these people complain that Berlin is not the same. Of course, I was there and I know how it was. But acting like this, with severe and unjustified discrimination will not help. I think Berlin is dead. Or dying. One day Berlin will be full of clubs with rich owners and fake alternative style. An Ibiza with a different color. It’s already fucked. I can see it.
