We are beyond honoured to receive the Applaus federal award for Inclusion in the Berlin Club scene from @initiativemusik . Big congrats to our friends @ausland.berlin too. 🎉🎏🎈🎈
Creating spaces that embrace diversity and unity has always been at the heart of what we do, and this recognition fuels our passion to do even more.
We’re also excited to announce that we are continuing our work with the mental health project together with the @clubcommission , which will give our staff access to free mental health support and therapy.
Together, we aim to support the well-being of the incredible people who make Berlin’s nightlife so ever-changing.
Let’s keep building a club culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and cared for.

From @OtherstotheFront we call on all creatures saved by the feeling of House music to donate and give support to @iwastheredoc - a documentary about the Life of Ron Hardy, which is also the history of House and at the same time our history.
Resident of the “Muzic Box” - an inclusive space where different realities converged: Black, Latinxs, LGBTQ+ people, and music lovers from various walks of life - Ron Hardy was always keeping this atmosphere alive, reflecting a club culture geared towards freedom, escape, and self-expression.
We always have loved that Hardy was not afraid to break the rules and experiment with new sounds. He understood the power of music as a force to bring people together, and his ability to mix genres and styles contributed to that diversity on the dance floor. Through his music, Hardy created an environment where social and cultural barriers dissolved on the dance floor.
Nothing would be the same without Hardy, this is why we are here talking about Ronnie now.
The film is being made with the collaboration and supervision of Bill Hardy @partehardy and the Hardy Family.
All entry fees will go towards shooting the film’s next interview Chicago in November with the legendary Robert Williams - the man responsible for giving Ron Hardy and Frankie Knuckles their starts, as the founder of The Muzic Box and The Warehouse.
Let’s give him the place he deserves in (our) history. We owe it to Ron, and to future generations to keep his story alive. #pleasedonate make it happen! #savethedates
