Exponential Function | Warehouse Rave

CTM unveils a new event format with Exponential Function, an immersive warehouse rave taking place at Berlin-Kreuzberg’s Haus der Visionäre, a recent addition to the city’s landscape that CTM will also return to for our 2026 festival. Presale starts 16 July via Resident Advisor, with pre-registration now open.

Headlining the night is Japan’s leading otherworldly selector ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, an absolute force of nature behind the decks known for his uncanny ability to blend wildly different genres into coherent, mind-expanding sets. His mixing approach feels both spontaneous and inevitable, whether he's connecting drill with hard techno or making gabber flow seamlessly into reggaeton.

Building on CTM's 25-year history of championing experimental music, the event uses d&b's Soundscape system to turn the warehouse into an immersive sonic environment. More artists TBA soon—expect an international lineup taking club sounds down surprising left-field dancefloor paths and dimensions that feel both alien and irresistibly physical. Plus, the event lands on the night before a holiday, so dance until dawn, sleep until dusk: the universe approves.

As nightlife confronts new pressures and possibilities, Exponential Function embraces the enduring power of the rave to gather us and blast us upward and out into unknown aural trajectories.
