KEYI MAGAZINE X Else
Fresh off of Berghain’s Säule in April, KEYI Magazine is back with a full-day open air session at ELSE.
With fashion market + performances!
The event will take place on the 29th of May from 2 pm. For this edition, we are taking over the iconic riverside venue with a sharp and eclectic selection of artists, from electro to techno, acid, and beyond.
We are not afraid of the weather – there’s a huge transparent roof over the whole dance floor and whole main part of the club which makes the experience waterproof and fun.
ELSE is one of Berlin’s most distinctive open-air spaces, perfect for daytime dancing with its relaxed vibe and riverside energy. This time, the venue boasts a brand-new Lambda Labs QX3 sound system that delivers top-tier audio clarity and depth. Moreover, the redesigned DJ booth now surrounds the crowd on all sides, intensifying the connection between artists and dancers..
The event will flow both outdoors and indoors, the indoor floor opens after 22:00 and runs until early morning. Additionally, we will be serving oven-baked pizza all day, and if you’re looking for a breather, the riverside terrace offers a perfect chill-out zone to hang out and have a drink.
