E-Werk (Berlin)

E-Werk opened in the early 1990s inside a disused electrical substation in central Berlin, one of the cavernous post-reunification spaces the scene reclaimed for techno. With Paul van Dyk among its key residents, it became a temple of the city's brighter, trance-leaning sound. Its high industrial halls embodied the era's habit of dancing in the ruins of the divided city.
