After these short facts please tell us something about the club and its history. What’s the philosophy behind? The idea? Which styles can your visitors celebrate here?

Music connects people: At Geheimclub it does not matter who you are, where you come from, who or how you love, who or what you believe and what you do outside of the club. Music brings people of different characters to a common denominator and connects them to one big family. It applies the principle: Anyone who does not look for stress and provocation, respects and tolerates his counterpart, is neither sexist, homophobic, stigmatized, violent or otherwise decent, comes in. Simple as that.

We are playing strictly techno and house!

Short introduction of the residents

Nicolas Lendkrais‘s musical roots are way back in the 90’s, first in love with trance. “One day, there will be a club, where I will be resident with full heart” – luckily it became the Geheimclub. His sets are sometimes driving, sometimes spherical with some surprises in form of some nice, old not – techno tracks. Facebook | Soundcloud

Magnus‘s first tries as a Dj were in 2014 for some private parties, since 2017 he is resident Dj at Geheimclub, playing dark and industrial techno with some EBM touch sometimes. First he started working as a lightjockey in a big room disco. Facebook | Soundcloud

DXTN is Dj since 1996 and learned the basics at a Dj learn group. He started producing in 1999 and stopped it then, but plays some of his tracks back from these days. He is the CEO of the club and is known for his insane mixing skills, even with 4 vinyl players. He started with Gabber and Schranz in his early days. Facebook | Soundcloud

Dynamic Perceptions was born in the Harz in Germany. In the beginning of his DJ career he played artists like Faithless or Benny Benassi but since 2002 he’s developed an interest in electronic music and started visiting underground raves and festivals. It was 2007 when he began spinning vinyl on his own and the first party followed soon. With the wish to develop further he moved to Magdeburg to a little crew where he learned to organize parties and experienced a lot of new electronic music. His love for music was growing steadily and in 2016 he joined Geheimclub Magdeburg as a Techno and as a house Dj. Sometimes his music is slamming, sometimes more playful, but always worth a journey.

Pernox is new to the business and started together with r:brockwell in 2017. Since then he became Resident of the club really fast. He is playing fast and hard, sometimes, especially for openings, more dub and atmospheric stuff. He is the booking agent of the club, together with r:brockwell Facebook | Soundcloud

Deguchi, formerly known as r:brockwell, found his love for fast driving techno becoming more and more influenced by Dax J.

Hearing techno since he was 15 years old, he started 9 years later his career in 2017 and became resident at the club together with Pernox. He is also doing the booking for the Club.
