The world's most renowned techno club invited Cepasa as one of 12 official residents for 2026. 4 sets per month throughout the year.
Berghain — the world's most renowned techno club operating in Berlin since 2004 — announced on 18 January 2026 the composition of its 12 official residents for 2026, including Cepasa (Ukraine). This is the club's first-ever Ukrainian resident (previously residents were mostly DJs from Switzerland, Germany, UK, USA, Japan). The residency contract runs for 12 months from February 2026 to January 2027. Under the contract, Cepasa will perform 4 sets per month at Berghain (48 performances total for the year): 2 — in the main Berghain hall (for audiences up to 1500 spectators, open Friday-Sunday), 2 — in the smaller Panorama Bar (for 600 spectators, for more house-oriented public). Each set lasts 2-4 hours, without breaks. All sets run in no-recording mode — Berghain has strictly prohibited video recordings and photos in the club. Besides the main residency contract, Cepasa will participate in selecting young Ukrainian DJs for opening sets — under a quota of 6 performances per year for Ukrainian talent. This supports the cultural integration programme of Ukrainian performers into the European club scene. Fee payment — €1500 per set, totaling about €72 thousand per year. Cepasa will redirect 30% of revenue to the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation to support young DJs.
