Relive a wild night out at Berghain through this series of 16 captivating portraits, snapped outside the famous Berlin techno club by celebrated photographer Philipp Pusch.

Didn't get into Berghain last weekend? Fear not, as some enterprising techno enthusiasts have compiled a list of tracks that were played at the techno mecca last weekend.
Compiled by the Berghain Music facebook page, users from the group spend their weekends at the techno institution ID'ing as many tracks as they can, and then sharing them with the group for everyone to enjoy.
The Numbers of Berghain is a website by Israeli designer Artiom Dashinsky that analyses the statistics of Berghain’s bookings over the past seven years. You can check out some of its findings below.
Dashinsky took the data from the Berghain website, and split the results out by floor of the Berlin mega venue – so they are given for Berghain, Panorama Bar, Lab.oratory and Säule.
“One of the things that makes Berghain amazing is the great artist curation,” Dashinsky says on the site.

Getting into a Berghain has become one of dance music's most trickiest propositions. It's not unheard of to queue for three hours to then get turned away at the door.
The club's door policy has taken on something of a mythical status with hundreds of articles, guides and forum posts appearing online all promising a full proof way to get into the sacred techno club.
DJ Harvey has announced a series of global residencies, including multiple dates at Ministry Of Sound, Concrete, Berghain, Output, De Marktkantine and Lux Fragil throughout 2017.
He’ll also have a hand in programming the support acts for each of the shows, and expects to play for between six to eight hours at each of the gigs.
In an interview with RA, Harvey said: "I honed my trade in nightclubs and warehouses and in many respects, it's where my heart lies and where I feel like I function best."
To make way for Berghain's new entrance hall, the club has taken the decision to take down the club's iconic mural and sell the pieces online.
The huge tiled artwork has stood in the club's entrance since the techno mecca opened in 2004.

Berghain is opening a new floor next month with the opening weekend locked for 23rd and 24th March.
The famous Berlin-based venue currently consists of two club areas, Panorama Bar and Berghain, with the new floor set to be titled Säule - the German word for pillar.
Situated directly under the Berghain dancefloor, the new floor will play host to darker, weirder and more abstract electronic sounds than Berghain’s current two spaces.
London welcomed a new chapter in its clubbing history when Printworks opened last weekend.
The monstrous new multi-room, multi-purpose venue in Canada Water saw Seth Troxler b2b The Martinez Brothers b2b Loco Dice play Printworks’ 2,500-capacity main room at its inaugural party on Saturday 4th February, but it was the wider meaning of London’s new mega venue opening that was more exciting for the London club scene.
Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann will drop a collaborative EP this month in celebration of Berghain-affliated label Ostgut Ton reaching 100 12" releases.
Titled 'Phantom Studies', the milestone record contains seven tracks ranging from "relentlessly pounding" techno to "hypnotic, melodic and soulful music", says the imprint.
Two tracks also include vocals from the producers, with Klock delivering a "spoken-word sermon" on 'Prophet Man' and Dettmann featuring on 'The Room'.
Conan O'Brien tried his luck at getting into Berlin's Berghain over the summer, before being unceremoniously turned away by staffers from the famous German club.
The stunt, that was filmed for Conan's late-night American talkshow, attracted critics from the dance music industry including outspoken DJ/producer The Black Madonna, who wrote on a (now deleted) Instagram post: “I'm not humorless about any subject. But turning a space like this into a comedy spectacle for a largely straight American audience with no context other than the club being private and gay is a problem".
