For the third time, Der Geheime Salon and the Frankfurt-based event institution Ichi Ichi join forces to ignite a Walpurgis Night firework of electronic dance music on the dance floor of the Mousonturm hall. Anyone who has been there in recent years knows that surprises are the rule here, as international DJs and live acts engage in a rapid back-and-forth of sonic energy. Don’t miss it—secure your tickets early!

From the misty basements of Berlin, we welcome the human rhythm machine Chris Imler. His concerts are musical feats of magic in which he simultaneously handles vocals, standing drums, sampler, and synthesizer. What captivates visually electrifies acoustically with a blend of nervous post-punk and laid-back synth grooves.

Coco Cobra was shaped early on by punk, synth pop, and the electro of the Myspace era, but has long since risen to become a high priestess of eclectic contemporary club music sets. Her selections feel like carefully drawn tarot cards—darkly shimmering, electrifying, unpredictable. Each transition a conjuring, each drop a call to dance.

No one speaks and programs synthesizers more beautifully than Dutch sound alchemist Legowelt. Since the late 1990s, this living legend has moved between the various worlds of electronic music. From Detroit-inspired techno to raw house and otherworldly ambient soundscapes—within his bubbling sonic cauldron, warm analog synths swirl alongside aging drum machines and other vintage gear.

The Japan-born duo Waq Waq Kingdom, now based in Berlin and Leipzig, blend dancehall, footwork, jungle, and grime into driving, bass-heavy, rhythmically complex spells. Their songs feel like ecstatic incantations: raw, trance-like, uncompromising.

Zina’s sets move between footwork, dubstep, ambient, leftfield, bass, broken beat, experimental, and reggaeton—a multifaceted sonic witches’ sabbath. Stylistically unbound, she shifts from high-energy, percussive intensity—like a dawn drum ritual—to hypnotic softness and dreamlike atmospheres.
