Elysium Kollektiv conquers rural Berlin

In the midst of 2020 Elysium Kollektiv from Berlin offered a glimpse of hope in those rave-less times. The crew put an abundant amount of love and sweat into the organization of a free rave at the river Spree close to Berlin.

Fleißig: Die Elysium-Crew besteht aus handfesten Mädels und Jungs die Bock haben Ihren Floor mit DIY-Deko zu verzieren. Aber nicht nur Deko. Die ganze Stage wurde extra für diesen Rave gebaut.

Our crew WEST16 was invited for mashing up the place. Two stages were set up. One for Techno as it is Berlin. The other one for all sorts of other branches of electronic music. One highlight of the evening was for sure the set of our boy Milan Mø at the Techno stage. Convince yourself :)

After playing my sets in the night and in the morning I got out my camera for the time of sunrise. While the crowd was in the process of loosing their mind I further explored on long exposure free rave photography.

Mutig: Schau mal wer da noppert. Ein tatkräftiger Raver beim morgendlichen Dienste den roten gleichgerichteten Photonen trotzend.

Berlin is confrontation therapy for hedonism

the pursuit of happiness

a collective pursuit

the stage is the altar

nature is a relaxing prop

the wristband is our talisman

friends --> family

bass keeps everything in order

sleep = death

Und Montag geht's wieder auf Arbeit
