://about blank is a house and techno club at Markgrafendamm 24c in Friedrichshain, close to Ostkreuz station. Two indoor dance floors host different sounds, from familiar techno to more experimental sets, while the garden adds room to dance or take a break in warmer months. Its outdoor corners include unusual places to sit and lie down, plus small disco buses. Parties shape the programme, with occasional disco nights alongside its regular electronic music. Check the event before you go, since the music and open areas depend on the night.
Two floors, different sounds
The club is at Markgrafendamm 24c, near Ostkreuz station. Its low-key exterior gives little away about the rooms and garden behind it. Inside, two dance floors can take different directions: one may focus on recognisable techno, while another pushes into more experimental sounds. House and techno form the core of the programme, with occasional disco nights and events that reach beyond those styles.
The party determines what you hear and which spaces are open. Some nights bring established and emerging DJs from Berlin and elsewhere. Check the event details before setting out if you have a particular sound in mind.
The garden and its changing seasons
In warmer weather, the outdoor grounds become a major part of the club. There are places to dance outside, as well as quieter corners for a pause between sets. Visitors have mentioned beds, couches, a tent and a small forest-like area among the garden’s unusual details. Mini disco buses add to its deliberately offbeat character.
The garden is seasonal, and the layout changes with the weather and event. In winter, the indoor dance floors can be the main spaces in use; a bonfire has also been part of the colder-season scene. On summer events, DJs may play outdoors. Treat the garden as an extra that depends on the night, not a guaranteed part of every visit.
A club with a political identity
The venue opened in 2010 and grew from an underground club scene. It is run collectively and has a left-wing, feminist orientation; its programme includes queer parties as well as techno events. That identity is part of the place’s character, so look at the party description to understand the event you plan to attend.
Entry can be selective, particularly on busy weekends. Going earlier, arriving with a relaxed and respectful attitude, and knowing which party is on can help you plan, but none guarantees entry. Keep the event information handy and allow time for the door.
