11 years later. Still here. Still curious.

Back in 2015, I said “yes” to Femke & Marco. Since then, countless artists have come through this door: some for one night, some again and again, some became family. Because Maier’s Lab is not the name on the flyer — it’s what happens when the music starts and the floor takes over.

For the anniversary: three generations, one floor.

DANIEL BORTZ (Permanent Vacation)
We met in 2015 during a wild Off-Sonar night at Nitsa. After two gigs at Jochen Junker’s Rhythmo Romántico, it was clear: Daniel had to come back to Romantica in 2026. So I’m even happier that he’s now joining us to round off our 11th anniversary.

For years, he’s been a staple of Permanent Vacation. House in all its facets, with plenty of deepness — warm, soulful, groovy, and with that unmistakable personal touch. Releases on Permanent Vacation, Innervisions, Suol and many more speak for themselves. If you’ve experienced Daniel before, you know.

LEVIN (Chaos Disco Club)
The next generation is ready.
Levin is part of Chaos Disco Club, who are bringing plenty of movement to the local scene with How Hot Is Hot, their own nights, Radio 80000 and HÖR Berlin. House, Electro, Acid and everything in between — no fixed formulas, no genre boundaries, just music for the floor. New generation. Own vibe. No interest in standing still. Love that.

ALEXANDER MAIER (Maier’s Lab)
Yes, I’m playing too. After eleven years, I should know what’s going to happen. I don’t — and that’s exactly the point.
House, Electronica, deeper Techno and a few guilty-pleasure classics, depending on what the floor needs. Maier’s Lab has never been a genre: experiment, discover, see where it takes you. And sometimes one more track. A laboratory for musical experiments, after all.
Come for the night. Leave with a story.

As always: until someone cries.

Love, Hugs & Bla,
Alex
