SESH

Pas Berlin is an influential nightclub and event space located in Berlin, Germany, celebrated for its dedication to experimental, electronic, and avant-garde music. The venue first opened its doors in 2015, originally situated in the vibrant district of Neukölln, an area known for fostering underground and alternative culture. Since its inception, Pas Berlin has cultivated a reputation for being an incubator of innovative soundscapes and a home for both up-and-coming and established artists across the spectrum of electronic music, contemporary performance, and interdisciplinary art forms.

The club’s ethos revolves around inclusivity and artistic freedom, offering an intimate setting that stands in deliberate contrast to the larger, more commercial dance clubs for which Berlin is also famous. Over the years, Pas Berlin has become a vital node in the city’s cultural network, drawing a devoted audience that values the club’s boundary-pushing programming and welcoming atmosphere. In 2022, the venue underwent a significant transformation, relocating to a repurposed industrial space in Kreuzberg.

This move not only provided more room for creative exploration but also enabled Pas Berlin to host larger-scale installations and collaborations with visual artists, further cementing its status as a laboratory for interdisciplinary creation. The club has also been at the forefront of efforts advocating for fair pay and visibility for local artists, and its community-driven philosophy has made it a favored location for grassroots collectives and international curators alike. Critics and regulars frequently praise Pas Berlin’s sound system, its dynamic lighting, and its commitment to fostering open dialogue around emerging music trends and social issues, making it a linchpin of Berlin’s creative underground.

Over the years, Pas Berlin has played host to a wide array of notable artists, including international luminaries such as Caterina Barbieri, Ben Frost, Laurel Halo, and Nicolas Jaar, as well as influential local talents like Ziúr, Errorsmith, Sarah Farina, Herrensauna, Marylou, and Dasha Rush.
