December Madness
Ministry Of Sound
Berlin's schmækt touches down in London for the first time, bringing four years of container yard parties and underground euphoria across the channel for one special night between Christmas and New Year.
What started in 2021 in a secret Berlin location has grown into a movement—hosting floors across the city's infamous club scene and commandeering a truck at this year's Rave The Planet. In Berlin, schmækt has established a safe space for everyone with their no-phone policy. Now it's London's turn to experience what happens when House, Hard House, and Trance collide under schmækt's inclusive ethos. This isn't Berlin's dark techno aesthetic—it's sunshine on the dancefloor, Ibiza energy meets warehouse grit, where everyone dances together until dawn.
THE LINEUP
BARON VON TRAX (Melbourne) — London Debut
Melbourne's trance dealer is conquering European dancefloors. Baron Von Trax (Gidi Segal) brings classical piano training to the rave, fusing 90s piano house euphoria with hard house energy and soaring trance motifs. With releases on Running Back (Gerd Janson's prestigious imprint), Stress Records, and support from tastemakers across the scene, his tracks are played everywhere. From headline shows at Rex Club Paris and Le Trabendo to festival stages like XXL Malta, Baron Von Trax has proven he's more than hype—his HÖR Berlin set racked up 24K+ views, and his European tour is selling out venues from Dublin to Brussels. This London debut marks his first-ever b2b with Mike Momburg, bringing Australian trance energy to Cologne grooves.
MIKE MOMBURG (Cologne) — London Debut
Founder of SOUND SOUND, the Cologne-based label and event series that's released cutting-edge House from Kolter, Entasia, and Ellia Jaya across Europe. Mike's relentless love for House runs deep—spinning 90s euphoria through UK House energy with releases across multiple labels. He's graced decks at Farbfernseher Berlin, HÖR Berlin, and clubs across Europe from Barcelona to Vienna. With his 909 Racing Team project, he's earned support from Job Jobse, Malugi, and DJ Heartstring, proving his production chops match his selector skills. His first London appearance comes via his debut b2b with Baron Von Trax—two artists who've never played together until now.
HORN-E — London Farewell
A rising force in both the Berlin and London scenes, Horn-E has been the bridge between these two cities. As founder of HORN DJ Collective and HORN-EVENTS, he's built community through energetic Techno, Trance, and House sets that get every floor moving. But December 27th is bittersweet—it's his London farewell as he relocates permanently to Berlin. Just as schmækt arrives from Berlin, Horn-E departs for it. Full circle.
SECCO & WIM
schmækt's co-founder Seccoboi is the architect of this whole movement. Together with his friend Wim, they're rising newcomers who have caught serious momentum in 2025—playing their first international gigs in the Netherlands and UK, with their latest productions earning support from none other than Job Jobse and Rotterdam's LAMMER. They're proof that schmækt isn't just about bringing artists to you—it's about building them from the ground up.
December 27th. The dead week between holidays when you're off work but the city's still buzzing. When you need to sweat out the Christmas excess and gear up for New Year properly.
Berlin mindset. London energy. International selectors. One night only.
schmækt.
