About This Database
📊 Database Overview
The complete archive of every club night in Berghain's Saturday Klubnacht slot, from opening night on 18 December 2004 to present — Klubnacht itself plus SNAX Club, label nights, anniversary nights and Silvester/Oster specials: 2,500+ artists, 1,000+ events, and 13,000+ individual performances. The 2004-2009 era is sourced from the official monthly flyer archive (61 flyers, digitized and visually verified against the original PDFs down to label credits); November 2009 onwards comes directly from berghain.berlin event listings. Covers main Berghain floor and Panorama Bar with normalized artist names cross-referenced against Resident Advisor and Discogs — aliases and units are consolidated the way the flyers themselves billed them (e.g. Jackmate aka Soulphiction). Lab.oratory, Säule, Garten/Halle and Kantine performances, Friday series, and Panorama-Bar-only holiday specials are excluded — see the data policy for exactly what counts.
🤝 Community-Verified Data
