![]() ![]() ![]() To cut a long story short: during my first experiences at both Panorama Bars, I was just glowing. I just simply couldn't believe that we were having this precious little thing back. Panorama Bar they opened a few weeks before Berghain downstairs opened, and the first night at the new Panorama Bar was just magical. When the old Ostgut closed it left a big hole in Berlin's nightlife and you probably can imagine how excited people were when the owners of Ostgut, nearly two years later, opened a new club-that was Berghain. I think for a lot of people who went there it was something very special and people who came there knew that they had to contribute also to keep it that way other then to come and just consume. Panorama Bar gave you the space to be who you wanted to be, as long as you were respectful with each other. Also the queer and hetero scene in Berlin at that time was pretty separate, whereas at Ostgut and Panorama Bar, the crowd was pretty mixed, which I found very refreshing. It felt very free, and had a great family vibe. The crowd there on average was older than usual in the clubs at that time, and it was amazing to see people there again that I hadn't seen in years. It was very similar to the one at Berghain but had a more improvised feel. What was your first experience or memory of Panorama Bar? Tama Sumo: My first experience was actually in the old Panorama Bar, in Berghain's predecessor, Ostgut. We couldn't be more thrilled to feature Tama Sumo and Lakuti for the first mix in our birthday series, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. Tama Sumo and Lakuti's loose but impeccable flow ties together house music history with a deep love and knowledge of all genres and, perhaps most importantly, the desire and know-how to just make people dance. The duo's mix highlights the style that Tama Sumo and Lakuti have brought to the club and represents its anything-goes energy, mixing tracks from iconoclasts like Hieroglyphic Being (including one of his best-ever tracks) in with old-school favorites from Reel By Real, Larry Heard and even Ministry, moving from house to industrial to disco without batting an eyelid. Panorama Bar has played host to thousands-if not millions-of people's most formative dance floor experiences, with an unparalleled vibe, near-perfect sound and window blinds that have taken their own place in dance music mythology. First up we have Tama Sumo and Lakuti, both residents at Berlin's Panorama Bar, the house-focused room upstairs at Berghain. As part of RA2122, our ongoing celebration of 21 years of club culture, we'll be featuring some of our favourite DJs from around the world, highlighting the parties or clubs most important to their lives in dance music. ![]()
