Berlin prepares for a night of relentless propulsion as HIVE returns for a special Halloween takeover at DSTRKT, the storied Kreuzberg space emerging anew from the ashes of Anomalie. On October 31, the industrial labyrinth will resonate with pounding low ends and hypnotic stabs as a lineup of international and local talent converge for a sonic ritual that dissolves the boundaries between darkness and euphoria. Headlining is French sensation RIKHTER with a rare and visceral live set, channeling the raw energy of rave through hardware-driven intensity.

Joining him, UK’s Kander brings rolling, bass-heavy grooves, while Internet sensation Restricted is set to deliver an uncompromising, peak-hours statement. LESSSS and NOTMYTYPE, each with their distinct approach to dystopian techno, round out the top bill, promising sets that push the edge of the club’s cavernous system. The extended roster is a testament to Berlin’s magnetic pull, with Athina, Charnaux, Bollmann, CARGO (DE), DICE, Laviena, IGDA, Nyctonian, SAS, Zeltak, and 2HOT2PLAY mapping a night-long odyssey across techno’s many dimensions.

Expect everything from industrial punch to atmospheric drift, shaped by artists who know how to hold the floor through the witching hours. With DSTRKT’s lighting and spatial reimagining primed for the occasion, HIVE promises an immersion that transcends the typical Halloween fare – no kitsch, no clichés, only a devotion to the undiluted spirit of the underground. Costumes optional, open minds essential.
