MONOM is a groundbreaking nightclub and spatial sound studio based in Berlin, Germany, renowned for its pioneering approach to immersive audio experiences. Since its establishment in 2017, MONOM has become a vital hub for artists, sound engineers, and audiophiles, attracting a dedicated following and contributing significantly to Berlin’s reputation as a capital of innovative electronic music and sound art. The venue is housed within the historic Funkhaus complex, a sprawling 1950s-era former radio broadcast center on the banks of the Spree River.

Leveraging the acoustically unique Studio 1 space, MONOM is equipped with a 4DSOUND system—one of only a few in existence worldwide—which enables artists to manipulate sound in three-dimensional space, creating events that are both visceral and enveloping. MONOM quickly set itself apart from traditional nightclubs by focusing less on dancefloor-centric DJ sets and more on experimental performances, spatial audio installations, and workshops that bridge the worlds of music, technology, and art. Its reputation for curating cutting-edge sonic experiences has made it a nexus for Berlin’s creative community and a draw for international talent seeking to experiment outside the constraints of conventional club systems.

Over time, MONOM has occasionally adapted its schedule, layout, and programming to reflect ongoing artistic evolutions and changing regulations, but its home remains the atmospheric Funkhaus, whose architecture and acoustics are integral to MONOM’s identity. The venue’s unique infrastructure and philosophy have fostered collaborations with institutions, festivals, and leading innovators in sound, reinforcing its cultural importance both locally and globally. Notable artists who have performed or presented work at MONOM include international luminaries such as Suzanne Ciani, Vladislav Delay, and William Basinski, as well as acclaimed local talents like Robert Henke, Jan Jelinek, and Jessica Ekomane.

The venue has also hosted spatial audio works and residencies from emerging artists and collectives, ensuring that MONOM remains at the forefront of sound art experimentation.
