Bassiani – Horoom – Fri, 18.09.2026

SPANDAU20, an imprint named after the Western Berlin district and focused on artists from the area, delivers techno in all its diverse forms: from warehouse and electronic peak-time beats to breaks and IDM, balancing old- and new-school sounds flawlessly. With a focus on vinyl releases for the collectors. SPANDAU20 label night on 18 September, with the label’s founders, an electrifying duo of hardware heads, Felix Wagner and Aaron Röbig, collectively known as FJAAK, delivering relentless, analogue-fuelled techno with UK garage, dub, and hardcore influences. A visionary artist, founder of BPitch Control and UFO Inc. labels, and the We Are Not Alone party series, Ellen Allien is the defining figure of Berlin techno culture. Emerging from Berlin’s post-Wall underground in the early 1990s, she became closely connected to clubs such as Tresor and E-Werk. Her visions, reflected on numerous albums, singles, and EPs, have been highly influential across subcultures in electronic music, art, design, and fashion. A Berlin-based producer, DJ, and sound engineer, classically trained composer, Dajusch draws heavily on pioneering Detroit and Chicago underground traditions, with releases on imprints such as CROWD and Patent. Enigmatic HVL returns to Horoom alongside long-standing collaborators and wide-ranging selectors Dito, Kvanchi and Mancho with a very special back-to-back session, and Ciel, a Xi’an-born and Toronto-based DJ, pianist, and radio programmer, whose sets move through dreamy downtempo, wiggly tech house, psychedelic techno, UK bass, slamming speed garage of dancefloors and moods, from deep and trippy to unabashedly euphoric. She co-founded the label Parallel Minds and has been instrumental in projects like the women & LGBTQIA+ DJ collective Discwoman. Ciel's performance is co-presented by MUTEK, with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
