Beatgarten Open Air

This year, Berlin’s techno scene was recognized as a UNESCO cultural heritage, and Teufelsberg is proud to be a part of it. From May to September, the historic hill transformed into an open-air dance floor once a month. In collaboration with the DJ collective Lost In, we created a unique series of events. Attendees danced to rotating Berlin DJs while enjoying the remarkable atmosphere of this iconic location. Each event offered a fresh musical journey, filled with vibrant beats and many sunny afternoons.

Behind the Scenes

Beatgarten was special not only for its breathtaking location at Teufelsberg but also because of the passion, creativity, and energy that Lost In brought to each event. After their successful debut at the Power of Female Art Festival in March 2024, the decision was made to create an ongoing series together. From April to September, they turned Teufelsberg into a one-of-a-kind open-air club once a month, wowing audiences with top-notch electronic music. But Beatgarten was more than just music – Lost In crafted unique decor concepts for each event, with handmade elements, light installations, and other creative highlights.

The deep connection between Lost In and Teufelsberg made the event even more magical. Several members of Lost In are also part of the Teufelsberg team, giving them a special understanding of the location and allowing them to create unforgettable experiences.

The Journey of Lost In

The roots of Lost In run deep. What began as a close-knit group of friends from Falkensee, a small town near Berlin, has grown into a collective driven by a shared love of music and community. When local party options did not meet their expectations, they took matters into their own hands, organizing intimate raves at places like Forsthaus Brieselang and the youth center “Egal.” Their vision was clear: to create spaces for great music and togetherness.

From house and techno to trance and groove, Lost In’s events offer something for everyone. Some members of the collective even produce their own tracks, perform at the events, and invite guest DJs to make the lineup even more diverse. Their main goal is to create a welcoming and safe atmosphere. Mindfulness is key to their approach, ensuring that their parties are not just musically outstanding but also emotionally inclusive spaces.

The success of Lost In is not limited to Teufelsberg. In September 2023, they hosted their first club night at Humboldthain Club, which was a big hit and now happens every three months. They have also thrown unforgettable nights at MOPS Adlershof, part of Humboldt University. Wherever they perform, Lost In brings the same energy and dedication to unite people through music.

As they continue to gain ground in the Berlin club scene, Lost In has even bigger dreams. In the future, they hope to make their mark on the festival circuit. But their focus remains the same: it is not about the money; it is about the music and the people. All proceeds go towards paying technicians and equipment, with the rest reinvested in future events. Thanks to numerous volunteers, each event becomes more professional and impactful.

An Unforgettable Summer

The magic of Beatgarten was not just due to Lost In or the special location. You, the audience, played a crucial role. It was the energy of the crowd and the shared love for music that truly brought these events to life. Whether you danced all day or simply soaked in the vibe, you helped create something extraordinary.

With the last Beatgarten of 2024 behind us, we can confidently say it was an unforgettable summer. To everyone who danced with us under the open sky – you made these moments special. Relive the unforgettable highlights in our Instagram Reel.
