Section 8 Berlin
Parties For The Sake of Partying
We believe that a party is always more than a few DJs and a nice venue. We strive to design parties that are a holistic experience, a safe space, isolated and protected from reality, in which everyone should feel that they are part of the happening. In our parties, no DJ or performer is above, and we strive for the intimate connection between any performer and the crowd. We love and appreciate all artists who perform at our parties, but even they, are merely a part of the bigger picture, and not its essence. We want our guests to come for the party, for the experience, for the feeling of community. We invite you to take part, to communicate with fellow guests, with the DJs, with us. Always respectfully, always with consent.
Background
We were born sometime, somewhere, between sun-kissed after hours and stinky, barely legal Techno cellars. We created parties for ourselves, and for our friends, and then, for their friends as well. At some point, things got out of hand, we were doing something right, and we were living and cultivating the spirit of the Berlin underground scene. Occasionally, we were connected to this or the other club, until, in late 2017, we decided to go fully independent, and to tailor unique, original and marvelous event concepts to different venues in the city. The principal was, and still is: we only do events in clubs we love spending time in. Since then, we have been putting together countless beautiful nights in some of Berlin's leading venues, such as Kitkat Club, about blank, Renate, OXI and others.
Vision & Politics
In the past few years, we have witnessed our beloved scene getting torn apart by world conflicts and aggressive market practices. We perceive clubs, and parties, to be protected ecosystems in which inclusivity, equality, and accessibility are the most important factors. Believe in what you want to believe, practice whatever (pro-democratic) politics you want to practice, yet, when you come to us in the club, we will only allow and welcome inclusive politics, and reject polarization. Berliner dance floors are not the venue for solving world conflicts, and their parties are not the occasion for political demonstrations. Our world can be ugly enough, and clubs are where we offer the escapism. We welcome every tolerant, social human being who's on the side of humanity, and who is able to accept and respect the other. Everything else - we leave for the streets. In our parties, we don't care where you're from, what passport you were issued, if you practice a religion or who you wish to love. Your identity and the size of your wallet - play no role: everyone is equal on the dance floor. We will never offer VIP areas or special treatment to those who can pay more. Once again: with us, reality waits outside the club.
