Desire returns with another unmissable Afterparty, this time igniting Artheater’s storied floors in Cologne on August 22, 2025. Continuing their reputation for uncompromising curation, the lineup brings together the driving force of Mischluft alongside boundary-pushers Vagabund and mae.ly, each promising a journey through contemporary techno’s darker, atmospheric contours. Expect a night where thunderous rhythms and immersive sound design hold sway, guided by artists who thrive in the afterhours.

Mischluft a.m steers the sonic narrative, shrouding the early morning in pulsating beats and propulsive textures, while Vagabund and mae.ly each layer their distinctive approaches, threading raw energy and hypnotism into the heart of Artheater’s famed main room. As tradition dictates, Afterparty by Desire isn’t just an event, but a space where like minds lose themselves to the collective pulse until sunrise. Join those who yearn for more—beyond the expected, deeper into the night.
