Klubnacht

Slam are a Scottish techno institution that has witnessed all the developments in electronic music across more than three decades. Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle began their career in Glasgow, making their first appearance at the influential Sub Club in 1989. The duo's breakthrough came in 1993 with the classic “Positive Education”, followed by the release of Daft Punk's first records, establishing their label Soma as one of the top sources of dance music in Europe. Even now, over 600 releases later, the label is still going strong, with the current Activate EP as a case in point: raw, mental techno hypnosis at the highest level. Slam will be playing live in Berghain for this edition of Klubnacht. Another pioneer in his field is Chida, who has been shaping the underground house scene in Tokyo since the early 90s. Known for his marathon sets often lasting more than twelve hours, he was a regular player at Cocktail d'Amore in Griessmühle, and from 2009 to 2019 also released Balearic house tunes by like-minded producers from Tokyo, London, Stockholm and Berlin on his finely curated label, Ene.
