'Cepasa Underground' — new Kyiv nightclub in the Podil catacomb

Cepasa opens his own techno club in restored 19th-century Podil catacombs. Opening 1 May 2026.

Cepasa announced on 18 February 2026 the opening of his own nightclub 'Cepasa Underground' on 1 May 2026 in Kyiv at 14 Hlybochytska Street (Podil). The club is housed in restored 19th-century catacombs under a former industrial building (area 800 m²). This is Kyiv's first specialized techno club in an underground location — catacomb architecture provides unique acoustics impossible in regular above-ground clubs. Club structure: 1) Main dance floor hall (400 m², capacity 600 spectators, ceiling height 4.2 m); 2) Lounge zone with bar (150 m², capacity 80 spectators); 3) Separate small room for intimate sets (60 m², capacity 50 spectators); 4) Quiet zone with café (50 m²); 5) Technical premises (DJ booth, dressing rooms, warehouse). Technical equipment: full Funktion-One sound system (F-218 model used at Berghain), MA Lighting (Berlin), standard DJ Pioneer XDJ-RX3. Club programme — 4 nights per week (Thursday-Sunday), residents — Cepasa himself (4 times per month), Koloah and Vakula (see separate PR7 news), plus invited foreign DJs (once a week: Stefan Goldmann, Laurent Garnier, Levon Vincent, others). The programme does not censor musical styles — from house to hard techno (110-150 BPM). Entry — €15 for Ukrainian citizens, €25 for foreigners. The club budget includes a separate fund (10% of revenue) to support young Ukrainian DJs through open-mic nights.
