THIS NYE WE’RE TAKING YOU TO BERLIN.
When Berghain opened in 2004, with its Lab. Oratory men-only sex club and bohemian Panorama Bar on another floor, it seemed to somehow refine all the nocturnal obsessions the city had been craving in its cultural underfelt; edgy bohemianism, sexual permissiveness and hedonistic abandon. It marked the coming of clublands 1st sexual revolution. A place where misfits and intellectuals, gays and straights could gather within a cohesive social scene and create some collective sense of purpose.
It was the dawn of a new era, when club nights seemed to be just the warm-up for the after parties to follow, and minimal techno became the soundtrack for when the flamboyantly chic and the elegantly wasted partied 72hrs straight within the infamously licentious walls of places like Tresor, Kit Kat Club, and Bar 25 on the banks of the Spree River. The wall was down, and Berlin was reshaping its image through sexual expression and music.
This NYE we celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another paying homage to the founding institutions who opened the doors for people to party and experiment. While we can’t be at Berghain on December 31, we can bring a little of Berghain to Perth. It was, after all, a visit to this mecca for sexual dissidents that gave us the inspiration to launch our very first Hedonism party in Perth in late 2019. It is only fitting that this NYE we celebrate the pillars upon which we stand, returning to our sanctum at Steamworks, home to some of our most mind-blowing parties, and a venue with its own reputation as a site of excess, experimentation, unravelling, and freedom.
As always a strict dress code is required.
Black is de rigueur for getting past the notoriously stern guardians at the front door of Berlin's secret, sex-fuelled clubs.
Keep it dark, your outfit should be inspired by fetish, kink, goth, steampunk and glamour.
You can see our pinterist board here for inspiration.
