WHAT’S YOUR STORY?
Hi!
I’m Philipp, I was inspired to organize raves and start to DJ through some of my friends.
When I got a tired of bedroom Djing by myself, I wondered, where can I play?
Just for fun. I wasn’t ready for the club.
And frankly, I wasn’t even interested in playing for huge crowds.
But playing for myself was also just kinda bland.
I live in the City where everyone is a DJ and the home of Techno.
Surely there must be a place.
No. There wasn’t 😱
So it was time to create one. And here we are. 2 years later.
