Don't Go Clubbing in East Berlin This Summer

As far as memorable music-related youtube videos go, I'd be happy to put this forward for the top spot this year - so far. Join Kai Lentit Adventures as he takes us on a tour of the world famous techno scene in Berlin, complete with wry references to political history, urban gentrification, and the more adventurous fashion sense required to be part of the scene. A fantastic voyage of discovery with soundbites from locals and tourists alike - all shown with a GTA overlay. Absolutely brilliant!

Berlin is now oat milk, private equity, and industrial-chic AirBnBs.

Thinking of crashing in a gluten-free Airbnb this summer and finding yourself at Berghain? Think again.

This is your humorous travel guide to UNESCO Techno Island East Berlin - a city caught between squatter rave utopia and real-estate gentrification. From €400 flats to dog-biscuit-factory nightclubs this documentary exposes the absurd contradictions of the techno capital of Europe.

What started as free art and illegal parties in the cold war is now an Airbnb-friendly industrial-chic circus of loudspeakers, leftist welfare artists, and private equity firms.

Clubs featured (from outside): Berghain, KitKat, Sisyphos, Tresor, Kater, Wilde Renate, RSO, About Blank, and raves in random front gardens.
