Herrensauna takeover
By Kit Macdonald

Herrensauna has been going for close to a decade in Berlin and has built a reputation for being one of the city's most unapologetically raw, queer techno spaces. Originally conceived as a male-only environment, it has evolved a more inclusive identity and has achieved international recognition in recent years, with its residents regularly booked in their own right and the club as a whole running many "takeover" nights such as this one at Nitsa.
Herrensauna residents JASSS, CEM and MXMLXXXV will play all night, weaving the sort of dark, intense, anything-goes atmosphere that has seen the club transcend the early buzz around it and become an established global byword for great music, hedonism, community spirit and sexual freedom.
