Club Culture Ethics & Inclusivity 🛡️

The Code: Door Etiquette & Safety

Respecting the communal spaces that keep European underground club culture alive and inclusive.

01

Know the Lineup & Sound

Doormen frequently ask who you have come to see. Showing genuine passion for specific artists, labels, or the resident roster demonstrates you are there for the music rather than sight-seeing.

02

Strict No-Photo Policies

Venues like Berghain, Watergate, and Fold apply stickers over smartphone camera lenses. Respecting the privacy and freedom of dancers on the floor is non-negotiable across Europe.

03

Awareness & Harm Reduction

Stay hydrated, look out for fellow clubbers, respect bodily autonomy, and make use of awareness teams ('Awareness Teams') stationed throughout modern European dancefloors.
