Since 1994

Same club. Different times. Always real. Seven eras under the arches — from Berlin's first techno years to the room you walk into tonight.

1994 – 2000

The first edition, on film.

Thirty years ago, on tape — Matrix in its first years as a techno club, before everything that followed.

Where it all began.
1994 – 2000

The founding years.

One of Berlin's first techno clubs. Raw. Real. Different. From the very beginning, Matrix stood for freedom, nightlife and a new generation.

Berlin. Different.
2000 – 2003

A new name on the door.

The first matrix berlin mark. Word spreads beyond the techno crowd — more nights, more people, the arches filling up week after week. The club finds its own voice.

One mark. One city.
2003 – 2007

New sounds. New faces.

A move into other genres. More mainstream — a wider crowd. Matrix keeps evolving without forgetting where it came from.

Same spirit. New sounds.
2007 – 2010

Every day. Every night.

By this point already the number one address for Berliners. Everybody knows the club. Matrix becomes a fixture of the city and a place for everyone.

Berlin. One family.
2010 – 2016

Berlin. Day and night.

Nationally at least, one of the most successful and best known clubs. Matrix stands for a way of life that carries far beyond Berlin — the first international attention.

A city. A club. A feeling.
2016 – 2026

Mainstream. Number 1.

The best known club in Berlin. Everyone knows Matrix — across Germany and Europe, and in places far beyond. Matrix stands for unforgettable nights, big moments and a community of its own.

More people. More stories.
2026 – Now

Back to the roots.

After more than 32 years of nightlife, an institution. Been through it all. Seen it all. Still here. The future sounds like the beginning again.

Same club. Different times. And still here.

Berlin. 365 days a year.
