VūMantra Records lands at Kantine am Berghain for a night of relentless forward motion, exploring the shifting edges of contemporary techno. Themed "African Imperial Wizard," this gathering draws from deep-rooted rhythmic heritage and channels it through a mechanised Berlin lens, promising hypnotic tension and the unflinching energy of underground sound. Guiding this ritual, Vū steers the journey with sculpted grooves and intricate patterns, weaving together dense atmospheres that exist at the crossroads of ancestral memory and future shock.
Mina Lord—known for deftly blurring lines between percussive tradition and razor-sharp electronics—amplifies the sense of boundaryless motion, all set against Skrei’s immersive selections that teeter between industrial propulsion and meditative force. Navigating the dim-lit corners of the Kantine, VūMantra invites dancers and listeners into a space where myth becomes audio architecture. Surrender to the spell on September 3, 2025, as rhythm eclipses routine and the dancefloor becomes a site of collective incantation.
