From kinky parties in the labyrinthine KitKat Club to the smoky gloom of Tresor's repurposed bank vault, to the psychedelic lab of Cocktail d'Amore, \u003ci\u003eBerghain Nights\u003c\/i\u003e not only captures the excitement of Berlin club culture but also asks how techno in a queer club context can help people strip away their inherited hang-ups to find a truer self. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBerghain Nights\u003c\/i\u003e is about spiritual frenzy and soulful music, countercultural urgency, and capitalistic cash-ins. It's a story of the most notorious club in the world and of a scene that, enthralling thousands every weekend, feeds billions annually into Berlin's economy. In the midst of it all is the story of a person who, having gone through life feeling like an alien, finds himself in the most alien place imaginable--and feels at home there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836390831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304","brand":"Liam Cagney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894867919029,"sku":"9781836390831","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7c2aee42-d124-44bc-b4b2-d5f0764e49c4.jpg?v=1760491735","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/berghain-nights-a-journey-through-techno-and-berlin-club-culture-9781836390831","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
