CLUB NIGHT
Sat 23:00 - Sun 11:00
TECHNO THW
Philippa Pacho takes you on an intense journey of groove and power. Pacho's early beginnings were in the illegal party scene in Stockholm and have taken her to renowned clubs such as Bassiani, De School and Berghain. She presents the best of her extensive collection, mixed with razor-sharp focus - a technique that comes from years of building and honing her craft.
Kashpitzky, grew up in Tel Aviv, Kashpitzky initially embarked on his musical path as a guitarist in a metal-core band. At some point, however, he swapped amplifiers for drum machines and really got going. He is one of those DJs who cannot be clearly pigeonholed in terms of sound. Always changeable, always with power, he has a track for every occasion, so that even long sets never get boring. His unique definition of techno is perhaps best demonstrated in his energetic, deep yet groovy productions, which often combine broken beats with organic textures.
Powerful, emotional, atmospheric, dark and enriched with progressive elements. This is probably a good way to describe felix's sets. She strives to bring the crowd into a state of blurriness between body and mind. In addition to her performances in clubs, felix likes to support smaller, privately organized collectives. These spaces were the first where felix came into contact with electronic music many years ago. They have been a major influence on her journey and represent a significant and emotional connection to techno and its scene.
"Back to the roots" when it fits yes. But resident and longtime friend of Tanzhaus Root never ceases to surprise. Electronic music with love and understanding, straight from Frankfurt's underground. For over 10 years, he has stood for driving, dark and hypnotic techno in local clubs. He has been active as a DJ for 25 years - originally coming from the late 90s hip-hop and scratching scene, he found his way to electronic music and behind the DJ booth.
DORA'S HOUSE
Red Axes are absolute megalomaniacs (in a good way). Over the years they have produced over 2000 original tracks, remixes, edits and productions in various styles and BPMs. Inspired by the people they've met, the musicians they've jammed with and the places they've traveled. Their unforgettable performances offer the opportunity to experience the original sound of the Tel Aviv-based duo. In 2017, Groove magazine wrote: "Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi have been making music together since the noughties, first in a post-punk band called Red Cotton, then for eight years as the DJ and producer team Red Axes. In their herbaceous, organic house sound, they combine wave, psychedelic and all kinds of "ethnic" influences to create an extremely convincing mix - we strongly expect success for the two of them" - Yo - nailed it! Res Axes have been going through the roof ever since!
Yeliz from Stuttgart, lives music, surprises again and again with her unique style. Her music cannot be categorized into a specific genre. "Varied and a mix - you just have to experience it for yourself," she says. We recommend her set at "Hör Berlin" and at the last "Fusion Festival".
The THW Resis Bo Irion & Peter Schumann are not to be missed. Nobody, absolutely nobody has played at the venue as often as these two. Together, as well as solo. Nobody, absolutely nobody has played as many club closings in the Dora as these two. And not without reason! Whether you're still there from the night or arriving for early sports in the morning: don't miss! After 5 hours of cultivated high-end performance, Bo and Peter will push you out onto the festival grounds.
DOWNTEMPO CAFE
Festival grandmaster, secret scoop in da House! His reputation precedes him as a tireless treasure hunter, music connoisseur, track selection prince, sun dancer and messenger of cheerfulness. His excessive sets can only be described with one term: "total enlightenment". If you haven't heard him yet, you've definitely missed something essential - music straight from the heart, for body and soul.
You can't do without Dan Bay on this night! THW resident, producer, DJ, live act and friend, who has a non-stop output that could make you dizzy. But following him and his work is a great pleasure - Do it!
On a visit home! Formerly from Frankfurt and now a Berliner by choice, Momo is a downtempo protagonist of the first hour in the Rhine-Main region. Many know him through the events of the Urban Rituals Kollektiv, others through his regular DJ sets at Beate Uwe and Renate. Tempodown!
SUNDAY OPEN AIR
11:00-22:00
With a selection that is both merciless and playful, ferrari rot regularly transforms dance floors into racetracks. The co-founder of Dimenzione Danza pursues an uncompromisingly equal approach to the most diverse genres of club music: from deep grooves to hard beats - ferrari rot knows how to make the connections in her very own way and create a sonic experience that gets every engine running. So: buckle up - let's ride.
Anna Reinhard is a DJ and producer from the region who brings people together on the dance floor with her energetic and multi-faceted sets. With her unmistakable style, which combines groovy, progressive and experimental elements, she creates sets full of energy, positive vibes and driving rhythms. Her sound ranges from house, deep house, progressive and tech house to techno and tribal house. Perfect for a Sunday dance.
Your non-average trance DJ in the Sunday Line Up is DJ 069! Straight from Offenbach, DJ 069 will provide you with an energetic mix of nostalgic pop edits, trance melodies, donk and much more. Genre boundaries? They don't exist with him - his sets range from 90s tracks and remixes to modern hyperpop. True to the motto: "stupid, dumber, DJ 069!" he stands for everything that is fast and funky!
The DJ duo makethemwet (FFM, Stuttgart) complements and connects the afternoon with the evening with trancy, groovy and dreamy sounds. Could also get a bit wild ;) An all-round carefree package!

Tanzhaus West is celebrating summer and the rhythmic heart of every electronic music event, bass, with a series of four events from May to September! It all starts with a hot club night at Tanz in den Mai. (All information about the festival series and ticketing can be found below)

1,2,3,4 - A summer of bass!
Four beats strongly united in time.
The first beat - a call, a light
the second does not break the silence.
The third rolls, the world awakens,
the fourth drives us through the night.
No more hesitation, no more escape,
the beat, it surges, it pulls us along.
It throbs, it pumps, it drives us away
to this place dearest to us.

Yo, friends of music! You know it, the four-to-the-floor beat is the rhythm of us all, our heartbeat at night, the eternal pulse. The bass drum, our metronome. And it has been celebrated since the 1970s. From the disco beat to EBM to the incredibly diverse club beat of today!
It's time to pay tribute to what is probably the most played drum groove in the world! On four dates in THW Summer 2025, indoors and outdoors. With electronic music in numerous facets, a variety of really good acts, lots of fun on the beat and a great festival program around it.
