INFO

Else is an open-air nightclub located in Berlin, Germany, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and its integral role within the city’s internationally celebrated electronic music scene. Established in 2016 by the team behind the famous Renate club, Else quickly rose to prominence by making innovative use of its unique riverside location situated along the Spree in the Alt-Treptow district. The venue’s history is rooted in Berlin’s tradition of transforming forgotten urban spaces into hubs of cultural expression; its semi-industrial, outdoor setting under railway arches combines a sense of summertime freedom with a distinctly Berlin grit.
Over the years, Else has earned a reputation for its extended outdoor parties, running from spring through late summer, which attract both locals and music lovers from around the world seeking an authentic Berlin club experience. Its riverside dance floor, stylishly weathered decor, and creative lighting installations have become iconic, reinforcing Else’s image as a haven for those in search of both high-quality sound and a relaxed, open-minded crowd. Culturally, Else stands out for fostering inclusivity and celebrating the diversity of Berlin’s clubbing community.
It is recognized as a space that values safe, consensual partying and is embedded in the ongoing dialogue around progressive nightlife policies in the city. While Else has always operated in its original site, periodic renovations and improvements to infrastructure—including enhanced sound systems, refined bar spaces, expanded chill-out areas, and upgraded weatherproofing—have improved comfort and extended its operational capabilities without losing the raw charm that drew regulars in the first place. As tastes and technologies have evolved, Else has remained relevant by consistently curating diverse lineups that balance established headliners with the innovative sounds of emerging local talent.
Else’s bookings have featured a rich array of talent from the electronic music world. Notable international and domestic artists who have performed there include Dixon, Floating Points, Ben UFO, The Black Madonna (now known as The Blessed Madonna), Honey Dijon, Hunee, Job Jobse, Robert Johnson’s Ata, KiNK, Jayda G, Roza Terenzi, Violet, and Eris Drew, alongside vital Berlin-based acts such as Paramida, Cinthie, and the multi-faceted members of the Salon Zur Wilden Renate crew, ensuring each event captures the kinetic energy that makes Berlin nightlife legendary.
