Ticket info

Ancient texts speak of four elements: earth, water, fire, and air. It’s rumoured there is a fifth, harder to grasp. Something that cannot be held in one’s hand or carved in stone, appearing only when the others come together.
Time goes by, looking for the signs that might lead to its discovery. Gazing at the sky, entrusting secrets to prophets and rebels. Perhaps looking in the wrong corners.
Berlin, in October, is where the fifth element lies. Somewhere beyond the streets, past the water, where the four forces align and the elements dance in a sweet interplay. Earth is the island beneath our steps; liquid mirrors surround it. Fire moves with them through shadowed rooms; air caresses fall’s watercolor portrait. And sound travels through the floors, singing as if the universe had just opened its mouth.
At Climate of Fear, the space between the elements thins, merging them into a state of being, of interconnectedness: the human tapestry of the dancefloor. Hot grids of encounters, an equilibrium sustained by the underlying power of presence in a time and a place — community beyond the tangible.
A noise cartography moving between the organic and the abstract, through intricate rhythms. Field recordings and unconventional synths collide with the rawer edges of acid, breaks, bass, and deconstructed forms, creating a capsule where genres are merely the departure point; each sound voyage opens up new avenues across 24 hours.
Where sound spins and twirls, the common denominator is the same ever-present force: that fifth connector binding the fibers together, a dancefloor weaving everything into one.
Care, access, and inclusion: everyone should feel comfortable, safe, and able to fully enjoy the Climate of Fear experience. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and guests with mobility needs are welcome to reach out for any additional assistance.
Climate of Fear is a space for all. Discrimination in any form has no place here. Upon arrival, a set of community guidelines will be provided to support respect and a sense of collective safety throughout the event.
Good food keeps the good times going. Nutritious meals will be available throughout the day.
CoF aims to remain accessible to people from low-income and marginalized communities. Please contact amiera@climateoffear.net to ask about discounted tickets.

His two EPs, 2015’s Aequs Nyama (Salviatek) and 2018’s Testigo (NAAFI), garnered support from Pitchfork, The Guardian, Resident Advisor, FACT Magazine , Björk, Kode 9 and more. Since then, Zafiro has collaborated with Matmos and Linn da Quebrada, and has remixed for artists on SVBKVLT and TraTraTrax. He has extensively explored in the area of field recording and sound design, working for Splice, Mubert and artist Catarina Miranda to create sample packs and soundtracks based on his own recordings of objects, animals and natural soundscapes. Zafiro is a skillful DJ with a playful disregard for genre consistency. He’s made mixes for platforms like NTS, Mutek, i-D and Noisey, has toured as a DJ throughout Asia, Europe, South and North America and has played in festivals like Sonar, Unsound, Primavera Sound. Lechuga is currently hosting a radio show in NTS 1 focused on Latin American dance music and field recording experiments. His upcoming album Desde los oídos de un sapo (TraTraTrax) has already received positive reviews from specialized press. “It’s sorta the club music equivalent of poetry, a music that focuses on suggestion and detail, rather than overall narrative” Colin Joyce “Uruguay’s Lechuga Zafiro has become a relentless force for South American music in recent years. He has taken regional sounds of the continent to the global stage.” Tayyab Amin,The Guardian Text by Nina PosnerTheir RA profile lists Naafi and TraTraTrax.Recently at Berghain, Adidas Sports Base, Kraftwerk, Tresor/Globus and OHM · often with Gavsborg, NVST, Berghain, none of them here that night
“Gabrielle Kwarteng’s journey continues to be one of passion, dedication and fate.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Gabrielle Kwarteng’s journey continues to be one of passion, dedication and fate. Born and raised in New York, Kwarteng has withstood shifting sands in dance music to represent a curatorial presence with a deep knowledge of music history, driven by a dedication to regenerating its culture. In an era of everything at once, Kwarteng is a DJ who weaves stories for the dancefloor that often look to the past, while always focusing on possible futures. In an era of sonic singularities, Kwarteng’s flexibility and curiosity is a virtue; her long-awaited debut at Dekmantel Festival in 2023 resulted in no less than three sets across the weekend, each possessing contrasting energies. Elsewhere London’s iconic Fabric have championed Kwarteng on multiple occasions, programming her into their prestigious 25th birthday celebrations alongside the likes of Ben UFO and Ricardo Villalobos. At Berghain, she has appeared with even greater frequency as part of some of the fabled club’s most crucial parties, including CSD, Silvester, as well as smoothly piloting seven-hour closing sets in Panorama Bar. Such reverberations have reached far beyond the club; FKA twigs extended a personal invite to soundtrack her 2024 Met Gala afterparty. Taking place at The Standard, Kwarteng played just a few blocks uptown from the Soho Grand ballroom, where she had once furtively begun her first DJ residency, less than a decade earlier. The roots of this keen musicality run deep. Born in Brooklyn to Ghanaian parents but raised in the Bronx, Kwarteng’s childhood was soundtracked by a mix of first-wave Highlife, Afrobeat and disco. Outside her own front door, in a thriving neighborhood of diverse American experiences, entire sounds and scenes expanded and exploded as pop-culture began to mutate in new ways, both online and off. Crossing to Manhattan for school, the tempo changed entirely as rock, hip hop and experimental music filled Kwarteng’s ears, accompanying her intense study. Juggling academia with the beat became part of life, and she was later presented with the Mixcloud Online Radio Award for Best Eclectic Show, broadcasting on then burgeoning online radio station, The Lot. An early and completely unexpected acknowledgement of an instinct for music that traversed genre expectations, it laid down the foundations for her later move and return to Europe, and a commitment to trusting her creative instincts. Here, Kwarteng has not only become a fixture in established, open-minded musical spaces everywhere from Berlin, London, Amsterdam and Paris, but is equally called upon to establish the energy of new ventures, such as Horst Club in Belgium. Her resplendent selections have made connections further still, on tour in Australia, South America and soon to include Asia. Listening and dancing to Kwarteng, whether in a cavernous rave hall, a sweat-soaked underground club or amid the temporary pleasures of a festival, is an experience that feels at once familiar but always energizing. Fluidly slipping through a mix of heady 80s and 90s US house, disco interpretations that traverse diaspora and eras, and the futurist pulse of physical, emotive techno, Kwarteng expertly matches the requisite energy of contemporary queer rave culture. This understanding led to an invitation to make a storied Glastonbury festival debut at the legendary Block 9, the deepest pleasure center within the nocturnal NYC Downlow, before returning in 2024 for a back-to-back set with Shanti Celeste, this time on the wider scale of the Silver Hayes stage. Wherever she performs, Kwarteng’s expertise serves to not only continue the championing of Black American genres such as house, techno and disco, but equally, to explore the continuum of global dance music as a whole. Having laid the foundations for a unique musical journey, it’s a level of respect that’s tangible on any dancefloor. In these increasingly sacred spaces, Gabrielle Kwarteng’s personal passion translates into collective ecstasy. The dig continues.Recently at Berghain, Else, Backsteinboot · often with Berghain, Massimiliano Pagliara, Boris, none of them here that night
“Peach is a Canadian born, UK based DJ & Producer.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Peach is a Canadian born, UK based DJ & Producer. Her sets have become beloved worldwide for the emotional range and bubbly energy that radiates directly from her person & her musical choices. Her style is classic, yet steeped in modern flair, she inhabits a continuum of sound that can be defined by the uplifting energy that is felt through her sets. She cannot be defined by genre because her music touches on many - all of which sit between the house and techno spectrum. Tech house, proto house, bleep, tribal, and ambient techno often come to mind, yet it is still a specific kind of energy she creates which cannot be interpreted by genre alone. Her debut EP “Galaxy Girl” on Shanti Celeste & Gramrcy’s Peach Discs was a distinct and intentional expression of her dancefloor-ready technicolour tech house. In 2022, she launched her own label Psychic Readings - an output she uses for exploring her own sound with each release. The music is a modern take on the various themes throughout dance music history, yet it remains unique in its sound - the result is familiar inspirations but a refreshing outlook. Peach finds herself most at home in the dark rooms of smaller scale clubs - such as Berghain’s Panorama Bar in Germany, De School in Amsterdam, Fold in London, or Nowadays in New York - but she is no stranger to the larger stages across the world. She has played at major festivals worldwide such as Glastonbury, Sonar, Primavera, Dekmantel, Melt Festival, Dimensions, Rainbow Disco Club, Pitch Festival and many more. Her monthly NTS Radio show has been running for over 6 years, where she explores an array of music not necessarily focused on genre, but always with a thread of sonic continuity between it all. A truly honest musical voice and lover of the feedback loop between dancer & DJ, Peach’s output always feels confidently transmitted from her soul. Her inextinguishable lust for life is inspired by the genuine connections between moments, people & music - bestowing a loving gift of dynamism, passion & adventure into the universe wherever she may go.Their RA profile lists Peach Discs, Intergraded and Psychic Readings.Recently at ZENNER, Berghain · often with Gene On Earth, Lakuti, Tama Sumo, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Kontronatura's sound is focused on percussive, hypnotic and fast-paced beats with historically black roots – Dancehall, Kuduro, Baile Funk, Techno, Bubbling House, Global Bass, among others. Along the past year, as a resident of one of the biggest underground parties in Brazil (MAMBA NEGRA), Kontronatura travelled around Brazil, Latin America and Europe presenting his sound in events such as Kode (RJ), ODD + Bassiani (SP), Universo Paralello (SSA), Banana Frita (AM), Masterplano (BH) , Hiedrah Club de Baile (BSAS) , Bahidorá (CDMX), Herrensauna (BER), Fusion Festival (BER), Tought Act (MCR) Club Raum Pride Festival (AMS) and +++. In addition to that, his mixes aired on several notable platforms such as Boiler Room, Rinse France, HOR and others, being selected twice by Resident Advisor as mix of the day at 2021 and 2022. Kontronatura took a liking to breaking expectations and messing with the listener's imagination, believing that the dancing body is free and sees the dance floor as a power to purge colonial violence. As a transmasculine person, understands that his body has political action in response to the lack of representation in the scene, in which trans bodies have little or no access. He takes back for himself the raw material of his existence as the greatest tool to position himself as an artist, being one representative of transmasculine community in electronic music.Their RA profile lists Mamba Rec and Jupiter4.Recently at OHM, OXI, Kwia · often with Rafush, Jokwiz Mc, Lush Lata, none of them here that night
