Enter the next dimension of sonic exploration with Banana Dance, an all-night convergence of rhythm, groove, and radiance taking place at Berlin’s underground staple, Sameheads. On August 30, the basement will ignite with a handpicked lineup designed to channel infectious energy and boundary-pushing sounds. Headlining is the singular Awesome Tapes From Africa, whose crate-digging ethos and globally acclaimed sets blur the borders between genres, continents, and eras—expect an odyssey from Ghanaian highlife rhythms to contemporary West African electronics, layered with the pulsating spirit of the dancefloor.

Dimitra Zina brings her deep, versatile curation, fusing vibrant house, percussive gems, and kinetic basslines in unpredictable combinations. Completing the bill is creator and muse Balearic Banana, transmitting sun-soaked balearica, freaky cosmic disco, and playful mutations that set a loose, ecstatic tone for a party in perpetual motion. Drawing from international sounds, obscure finds, and a communal love for dancing, Banana Dance promises hypnotic grooves and sensuous frequencies deep through the night.

Step below street level and get swept away by the unexpected, as bodies, music, and moments intertwine.
