Hoppetosse is a renowned nightclub located in Berlin, Germany, celebrated for its unique setting and significant role in the city's vibrant electronic music scene. The club is situated on a repurposed boat moored along the River Spree, enhancing its allure with sweeping views of the water and an intimate, nautical atmosphere. Hoppetosse was launched by the same creative team behind Club der Visionaere, another iconic Berlin club, and since its inception in the early 2010s, it has operated as a sister venue, maintaining close thematic and musical ties.

Over the years, Hoppetosse has cultivated a reputation as an essential hub for underground house and techno music, particularly supporting the minimal subgenre. Its programming is revered for staying true to Berlin’s roots in experimentation and cutting-edge sound, and the club is famous for hosting extended, marathon parties that sometimes last well into the next day, preserving the city’s tradition of boundary-pushing nightlife. The boat itself has largely remained in the same location, adjacent to Club der Visionaere and easily accessible from the bustling Kreuzberg and Treptow neighborhoods.

While the interior has been updated for comfort and acoustics, the heart of its design—a cozy, wood-paneled dance floor with panoramic windows—has remained a constant, retaining its iconic riverside vibe. Hoppetosse is significant not only for locals but also as a magnet for international visitors who seek out its distinctive blend of setting, sound, and community. Despite challenges facing Berlin’s club culture, including regulatory pressure and gentrification, Hoppetosse has persisted as a cherished institution, embodying the spontaneous creativity and inclusivity of Berlin’s underground.

Notable artists who have performed at Hoppetosse include international heavyweights such as Ricardo Villalobos, Zip (Thomas Franzmann), Margaret Dygas, Sonja Moonear, Rhadoo, and Sammy Dee, as well as celebrated local acts like Binh, Vera, Janina, and DJs from the Perlon, Cabaret, and Half Baked collectives. These artists, among many others, underscore the club’s status as a crucial space for both emerging and established talents within the global electronic music community.
