SESH

OST is a prominent nightclub located in the eastern part of Berlin, Germany, that has established itself as a significant player in the city’s world-renowned electronic music scene. The venue opened its doors in 2019, housed in a former power plant in the Lichtenberg district, providing an industrial, raw aesthetic that pays tribute to Berlin’s techno heritage. Its massive turbine hall, exposed concrete walls, and cavernous spaces create an immersive environment for music lovers, reminiscent of other legendary Berlin clubs while providing a distinctive atmosphere of its own.

From the outset, OST has aimed to revive the energy and grit of Berlin’s post-reunification nightlife—a period that saw disused industrial spaces transformed into spontaneous havens of artistic and musical experimentation. Thanks to its powerful sound system, all-night programming, and focus on inclusivity, OST has quickly earned a reputation for welcoming both the underground vanguard and established legends of electronic music. Its carefully curated lineups draw a diverse crowd of locals and international visitors, contributing to Berlin’s status as a global clubbing capital.

The venue places a strong emphasis on community and inclusivity, adhering to Berlin’s open-door and no-photo policies to foster a sense of collective experience and freedom on the dancefloor. Throughout its history, there have been no significant changes in location; OST remains rooted in Lichtenberg. However, the club continuously evolves its programming and space, occasionally expanding event formats and experimenting with new concepts, all while preserving its core identity and structural integrity.

OST’s cultural significance is amplified by its ability to bridge Berlin’s storied past with the city’s ever-evolving electronic music landscape, serving as both a sanctuary for purists and a platform for fresh talent. Notable artists who have performed at OST include international names such as Helena Hauff, DJ Stingray 313, Ben Sims, and Freddy K, as well as renowned locals like Mor Elian, Fiedel, Marcel Fengler, and DJ Spit. The club has also supported rising and experimental acts including Efdemin, Steffi, Anthony Rother, Dasha Rush, Electric Indigo, and Eomac, providing a stage for the full spectrum of techno, electro, and hybrid electronic sounds.
