Hot Meal and Stützpunkt join forces at RSO.BERLIN to mark a full two years at the forefront of the city’s techno undercurrent. For this milestone collaboration, the lineup draws deep from both collectives’ trusted residents and a cadre of trailblazers currently pushing boundaries across Europe’s nocturnal spectrum. Set across the club’s industrial expanse, expect hours of unrestrained energy that capture the raw spirit of Berlin’s most vital dance floors.
Leading the charge is Bad Boombox, known for high-octane, tongue-in-cheek sets that fuse rave nostalgia with a bass-charged edge. The sonic journey continues with ØTTA’s unpredictable blends and Mischluft’s gritty exercises in percussive momentum. Stützpunkt mainstays Benwal, Janis Zielinski, and Mija anchor the night with a spectrum of driving grooves, while fumi (DE) and THELMA promise to explore headier and hypnotic dimensions.
Linus Villa and Ben Derris extend the after-dark odyssey, joined by Caniche, Pōnky, and Alfandi, each supplying distinct flavors and tempos that refuse to settle for one-note familiarity. The late hours are reserved for CMK (1), Staím, and Saturator, collectively ensuring the night barrels into dawn fueled by relentless propulsion and sharp-edged kicks. From shimmering synth textures to subterranean bass, every act brings a singular vision to the dueling rooms of RSO, where the boundary between crowd and DJ is blurred in the intensity of the communal experience.
On December 13, ground zero for forward-thinking techno again becomes RSO.BERLIN: a 2-year celebration that’s more than just an anniversary—it’s a statement. As the city’s pulse quickens, this night invites dancers to step into another chapter of Berlin’s ever-evolving rave continuum.
