Heavy basslines behind Rostock’s main station
Hidden behind the central bus station (ZOB) where others start their trip to Berlin in
order to smash their dancing feet, no one would expect a beautiful, but cold palace with
hammering bass music. What really used to be a powerhouse has now turned into a
grey, but somehow spectacular free space for passionate dancers. Flashing coloured
lights that do not disturb the puristic character of the club accompany the deep basslines
of the resident or guest DJs. Every now and then, the “Kraftwerk“ (engl. powerhouse)
opens its heavy doors for members and friends. Most of the time, people dance all
sunday long.
The temple of techno used to be the club Berghain in Berlin. But for two years now,
some people in Rostock have been working relentlessy on a similar project. No matter
the age, gender or place of birth- everyone who shares the passion for electronic music
and respects the club rules can participate.
The new church for techno lovers in Northern Germany is the Kraftwerk.
