Revolution!

Some people like to belittle it by calling it "the little sister of Tanzhaus", but ever since it opened its doors, it has set the pulse of the club. This is where all the big parties come to a late end, where there is a very special atmosphere and intimacy. Eye to eye with the artists and in time with the night, Dora is constantly pushing boundaries and regularly reinventing herself. Dora Brilliant is the wild shared kitchen of Tanzhaus West. Dora is the playroom of the regional techno and house community. A strong will and a strong sound! Big eyes and an even bigger vision. Dora has a plan! A better world through better grooves. No revolution without dance, no compromises, no excuses! No decibels to bad sound and not a hand's breadth to ignorance. Instead, space for deepness and diversity. Dora is on a mission. Just looking around: gear up! The road to utopia is not a sprint, it's a marathon. Dance step by dance step. United we dance, devided we fall. A lot to do on the way to the end of the rainbow.

Full house at Dora's Floor

From the local garage and trip-hop scene - to electronic music. From Odessa to the world. From Kazantip festivals to Sunwaves. Together with her two studio colleagues Denis Korablev and Pan Sancho, Olga Korol founded Body Parts Records - a platform that connects producers from all over the world and their own musical vision. Their work laid the foundation for the trio's ODY Arts project and label events across Europe. Currently, Olga Korol is focusing on solo productions, leading body parts and surfing the wave of a new, emerging underground scene. The definition of her sound: intrinsically deep and minimal, with an unmistakable groove for the early morning and, as Dora finds and knows from experience, a best line-up for birthday night on the birthday floor.

Also a best best line-up and right at the top of the wish list, Lola Palmer, also from the Ukraine. Lola Palmer is one of the most outstanding artists on the electronic scene, now far beyond the borders of her home country. She is a DJ, producer and musician. Known for her impeccable track picks, which she has shared worldwide over the past two decades, Lola Palmer is considered by many to be one of Europe's best deep techno DJs. Her constant stream of DJ mixes has picked up many people and enriched them musically. After collaborating with the likes of Terry Lee Brown Jr, Lola Palmer continues her musical journey with her own releases. Already so well known, she is probably only at the beginning of her artistic journey. Dora likes to go for a ride. You should too!

DJ Yeliz from Stuttgart and Samy & Sara turn the full house into a big party!

Techno Tanzhaus

Now based in Berlin, Stephanie Sykes is clearly one of the most exciting personalities to have emerged from the British techno scene in the last ten years. Sykes' sound is hypnotic and oozes raw energy and has taken her behind the decks of the world's most prestigious clubs. Regularly invited to Berghain and Fabric, Steph always maintains an impressive calm and poise while infecting people with her groove. Both in the studio and behind the decks, Stephanie strives to bring a raw, modern spin on ambient, techno and experimental electronics - carefully curated and skillfully arranged into a seamless journey.

Cecilia Tosh also takes you along for the ride. The Berlin-based German-Mozambican artist makes people dance and dream to dub and Detroit techno. She combines her own productions, which focus on analogue jams and incorporate field recordings, navigating between decontextualized urban soundscapes and techno. Her sets always have a constant groove, are deep, trippy and colorful at the same time. In addition to her performances, Cecilia is also active in curating events, releases and exhibitions and was co-founder of the former open-air club that evolved into the independent booking agency CURA Berlin. In her latest project "Kotti Island", presented at Kottbusser Tor, she localized field recordings and interviews into a music album released on Tresor Records.

THW resident Laurine Philippe, active member of "Mitte der Gesellschaft" and co-founder of the FLINTA* DJ collective "Clubcherry" and Bad Robot, resident and organizer of "Sweet Spot" will be doing the thing at Tanzhaus Rund.

Downtempo Café

She asks you to close your eyes, open your heart and feel the love - Mimi Love. Influenced by the world and the people around her, her sound is electronically nomadic, and whether she's flaunting a hypnotic pop sound or bringing people back down to earth with tempo changes, it always comes with big feelings and an honest point of view. This is house music for dancers who love to dance and lovers who love to love. It all started in her second home, the iconic venue Bar25 in Berlin. Today she travels across Europe, America and the Pacific, although her feet are firmly planted in the fertile Berlin soil. From her residency at Katerblau to her deep connection with the Bachstelzen collective to her tear-inducing sets at the utopian Garbicz and Fusion festivals, Mimi Love is never far from playing her special Love Sound to the people she loves most.LABERG, Part of Mit dir Festival and Femquency and Die Rote Dora from Berlin's Bambule Kollektiv are also there. Wonderful!
