SESH

Located at Holzmarktstrasse 19-23 in the vibrant Friedrichshain district of Berlin, 90mil emerged as one of the city’s most intriguing nightclubs. Housed within an arty enclave along the Spree river, this venue quickly established a reputation for its intimate, immersive atmosphere, drawing inspiration from Berlin’s rich clubbing history and underground culture. Founded in the early 2020s by a collective of local DJs and nightlife curators, 90mil was designed to evoke the spirit of the original illegal raves that defined Berlin’s reunification years, with a distinct focus on inclusivity, artistic freedom, and progressive electronic music.

The club’s unique structure—a refurbished riverside warehouse with raw, industrial décor—reflected both its DIY ethos and the city’s iconic techno heritage. Over time, 90mil became more than just a party spot; it served as a cultural hub for experimental art, audio-visual performances, and community initiatives, often collaborating with local galleries and advocacy groups. Despite occasional tensions with local authorities and the challenges posed by the rapidly evolving Berlin nightlife scene, including pressures from urban development along the Spree, the club maintained its original location, fortifying its ties to the Holzmarkt community and its significance as a safe space for Berlin’s diverse nightlife crowd. 90mil’s reputation rests not just on its exceptional sound system or eclectic programming, but also on its commitment to fostering connections between established names and emerging talent, both locally and internationally.

Notable artists who have performed at 90mil include international acts such as Ben Klock, Ellen Allien, Paula Temple, and DVS1, as well as celebrated local talents like Tama Sumo, Dr. Rubinstein, rRoxymore, and DJ Gigola. The club’s stage has also featured avant-garde live sets from experimental artists like Caterina Barbieri and Lakuti, as well as surprise appearances from underground icons like Marcel Dettmann and Cinthie.
