Set against Berlin’s pulsing industrial landscape, Gegen Heat returns to Else on August 24th, promising an unrelenting journey through the spectrum of cutting-edge techno and hybrid club sounds. With a curation focused on the forward-thinking and uncompromising, the night’s soundtrack is guided by a diverse roster: BOYCA paves the way with a distinct rhythmic intensity, while Cristian Marras delivers brooding, mind-bending sets anchored in dark energy. Escape on Tape brings textural explorations and leftfield dynamism, alongside Supergloss whose sets are known for their shimmering tension and playful, high-velocity blends.

Omon Breaker and Metaraph offer peak-time chaos with erratic twists and percussive force, pushing the room’s momentum into overdrive. MORENXXX channels contemporary bass rhythms with a razor-sharp, emotive edge, joined by Mar/us whose selections move between kinetic, groove-heavy excursions and raw, experimental domains. Oldyungmayn disrupts boundaries through visceral transitions and immersive layering, while Shadysnack’s taste for unorthodox, high-pressure club tracks ensures no moment will feel predictable.

Staying true to its ethos as a queer-forward, radical safe space, Gegen Heat transforms Else into a haven where sonic innovation and personal expression converge. Expect an atmosphere charged with collective energy, relentless movement, and performances that refuse compromise.
