For the coming Thursday-to-Sunday window, September 24–27, the sharpest self-contained run sits beside Berghain’s larger rooms. Kantine am Berghain presents three consecutive live bills from Friday through Sunday, each with its own scale and musical vocabulary: Blockhead with Arms And Sleepers and ProleteR on Friday, LUA with NOVEX and TYGUR on Saturday, then Caramelo with Carlo Karacho and Dicken45 + Benito on Sunday. The useful angle is the continuity of the room itself. These are early-evening, live-led bookings that let listeners make a compact weekend route without treating every night as an all-night club commitment. The sequence begins with a particularly well-defined meeting point between instrumental hip-hop, electronic production and sample-minded songwriting, then opens into newer local bills and a Latin-leaning closer.[1][2]
Friday, September 25: Blockhead’s beat-maker bill
Friday is the anchor. Doors at Kantine am Berghain are at 19:00 and the show starts at 20:00, with all three artists billed live. Blockhead heads the night after a long catalogue built around instrumental hip-hop and collage-like production. The venue frames his set as a visual live presentation spanning 25 years of work; his 2024 album Mortality Is Lit! supplies a useful recent reference point, with all tracks written and produced by Blockhead and additional live guitar, bass and synth credited to Damien Paris. That record’s titles and stated themes circle endings, cycles and dark humour, giving the booking a thoughtful undertow beneath its beat-focused surface.[2][4]
Arms And Sleepers brings a different kind of authored electronic music to the same bill. The project is Mirza Ramic’s Berlin-based electronic trip-hop project, formed in Boston in 2006. Its 2024 album What Tomorrow Brings is organized in four sections—“Innocence,” “Melancholy,” “Rupture” and “Reflection”—and credits Ramic as writer, performer and producer throughout, apart from specified collaborators. That structure makes Friday’s shared bill feel less like a single-genre showcase than a conversation among rhythm, atmosphere and instrumental narrative. ProleteR completes it with a set the venue describes through electro, nu-jazz, swing-hop and instrumental hip-hop, a useful connective tissue between Blockhead’s sample craft and Arms And Sleepers’ broader electronic palette.[2][3]

Saturday and Sunday: a shorter, changing live route
Saturday, September 26, begins at 19:00 with LUA, NOVEX and TYGUR under the Club Animalz Berlin banner. The compact three-act format is a clean reset after Friday’s established international names: one room, one early start and a bill whose electronic framing leaves space for the artists’ individual approaches. It is the weekend’s most concise option, suited to listeners looking for a live electronic night that starts before the city’s late-night schedules take over.[1]
Caramelo closes the run on Sunday
Sunday, September 27, returns Kantine am Berghain to its 19:00 doors and 20:00 start pattern. Caramelo is joined by Carlo Karacho and Dicken45 + Benito, all billed live. With Latin listed as the event’s musical lane, it offers a warmer final point for the three-night route and a chance to hear the venue operate outside the familiar techno-weekend shorthand attached to its address. The programming is strongest when read as a sequence: Friday’s detailed beat architecture, Saturday’s electronic bill, then Sunday’s rhythm-forward closing set.[1]
Practical route for September 25–27
Start with Friday’s 20:00 Blockhead bill; Saturday’s LUA, NOVEX and TYGUR programme starts at 19:00; Sunday’s Caramelo bill starts at 20:00. Kantine am Berghain is at Am Wriezener Bahnhof in 10243 Berlin.
