SEX POSITIVITY

Tantra festivals are more than workshops—they’re multi-day celebrations of presence, connection and conscious pleasure. Across Europe in 2025, gatherings from medieval castles to forest retreats will offer breathwork, ecstatic dance, partner massage and ritual to awaken mind, body and heart. Whether you’re new to tantra or a seasoned explorer, here’s your month-by-month guide to the season’s best events.

So, you’ve just danced for 16 hours straight, kissed three strangers, maybe cried once (in a good way?), and now you’re sprawled on your mat

Sun, sound systems and spontaneous friendships—summer in Berlin means festival season. From warehouse clearings to lakeside fields, here’s your month-by-month guide to 2025’s best outdoor techno parties.

Berlin is sexy, but it’s not stupid. So why do so many people treat it like an Instagram theme park with overpriced currywurst and techno

There’s a moment every Berlin summer when you’re standing on the U8 platform, melting into your crop top, wondering why you ever romanticized “gritty urban living.” It’s hot, your hangover is wearing sunglasses, and someone just spilled Club-Mate down your leg. Babe, it’s time to escape. Because as seductive as Berlin is in the heat, sometimes you need trees, silence, and water that doesn’t have a rogue cigarette butt floating in it.

Berlin in the winter is like an ex who won’t stop texting you “U up?”—dark, moody, and a little emotionally unavailable. But summer? That’s when Berlin throws off its metaphorical trench coat and seduces you into staying out until 4AM on a Tuesday. The city becomes a playground for flirts, queers, sun-drunk artists, techno disciples, and everyone who’s allergic to traditional structure.

Sure, you can romanticize that sweaty local basement party all you want (and we do), but sometimes the techno pilgrimage calls for something a little more... grandiose. Europe’s techno club scene isn’t just alive—it’s throbbing, pulsing, and entirely unapologetic about its 4 a.m. dancefloor epiphanies. Whether you're a Berghain disciple or just looking to plan your next dancecation, here’s your unofficial, unfiltered guide to the continent’s top techno temples.

Berlin’s bar scene is legendary for a reason: it’s where sweaty bodies, bright lights, and bottles of questionable liquor collide in a drunk

Berlin might be landlocked, but don’t let that fool you—this city knows how to get wet. When the city’s concrete starts to sweat and your third Club-Mate isn’t doing the trick, it’s time to strip down and get yourself to a lake. And not just any lake. You want vibes, soft grass, maybe some light nudity, and the type of cold plunge that feels like a full-body reset.

Foreplay isn’t just a prelude—it’s the main event. The slow build, the tease, the electricity that lingers before anything really happens. I

Ghost production has long been one of dance music’s worst-kept secrets—part industry necessity, part scandal, and part artform. But what exactly is ghost production, and why does it still get people’s BPMs spiking for the wrong reasons?

Techno has long been plagued by an unspoken assumption: that the bro behind the decks in a black tee and bad posture must be the genius. But here’s the truth—some of the most forward-thinking, floor-shaking, reality-bending techno is being created and curated by women. And not just in 2025, but since the genre’s very beginning.

In a world where overnight fame seems more attainable than ever, Yoan Lokier—known simply as Lokier—chose the long road. She built her caree

Techno isn’t just a genre—it’s a dialect. And if you’ve ever found yourself nodding along blankly while someone casually drops words like “polyrhythm,” “Roland,” or “modular,” it’s time for a crash course. This isn’t your average glossary—no filler, no fluff, just the essential terms you’ll hear in clubs, on forums, and deep inside Ableton rabbit holes.

Techno isn’t just pulsing out of Berghain’s concrete walls anymore — it’s cracking through bedroom monitors in Manila, DIY spaces in Medellín, and warehouses in Warsaw. As the genre continues to shapeshift through 2025, a new class of selectors, producers, and audio insurgents is taking over. They're sometimes faster, weirder, more emotionally nuanced — and they aren’t here to play safe or follow set rules.

So your sex drive ghosted you. One minute you were ready to go at the drop of a sock, and now? You’re half-watching porn like it’s an episode of Dateline and wondering if this is just what aging feels like. Spoiler: it doesn’t have to be.

What happens when two boundary-breaking artists sit down for a game of "Who’s Most Likely To…" at one of the wildest electronic music festiv

Women are not Rubik’s Cubes. Their bodies aren’t impossible puzzles. They’re living, pulsing, wildly intuitive landscapes—and if you’d stop trying to speedrun sex like it’s a Mario Kart track, you might actually enjoy the view.

Berlin is not just a city; it’s a movement. Known for its vibrant nightlife, artistic expression, and open-minded attitude toward sexuality,

Berlin’s underground club scene has always been political, but few artists embody the intersection of music, activism, and community buildin

That moment when the bass drops and you turn to your friend asking, "Is this minimal or deep techno?" We've all been there, caught in that late-night argument about genre classifications while the kick drum pounds relentlessly. The lines between minimal and deep techno have become increasingly blurred in dimly lit warehouses and overcrowded Reddit threads. Time to set the record straight with this no-bullshit breakdown of what actually separates these two influential techno s

Some conversations don’t just spill the tea — they smash the whole damn pot.

In the gritty concrete landscape where techno was born, Detroit's electronic music scene continues to evolve while honoring its revolutionary roots. Four decades after Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson first crafted the blueprint, the Motor City remains electronic music's spiritual home.

if you’re trying to produce techno and your digital audio workstation (DAW) feels like you’re assembling IKEA furniture blindfolded, it’s time to rethink your setup. Techno isn’t about pristine harmonies or verse-chorus-verse predictability—it’s about texture, tension, and that moment at 3:17AM when the kick drops and you feel like your skeleton just realigned.

If you're searching for the biggest, darkest, loudest techno events of 2025, step away from the algorithmically curated playlists and look toward the industrial fields, repurposed hangars, and dust-choked open airs that still worship BPMs above 140. This year’s hard techno festival lineup is stacked — and no, we’re not talking about commercial EDM in disguise. We’re talking real-deal warehouse pressure. Galloping kicks. Leather harnesses. Four-to-the-floor until you see god.

Leather isn’t just a fetish—it’s a culture, a history, and a movement. But what happens when that movement starts to shift? We sat down with

The word “tantra” often conjures up images of tantric gurus, burning incense, and couples gazing into each other’s souls for six hours straight while levitating—or at least dry humping on an artisanal floor cushion. But let’s cut through the patchouli haze: tantra doesn’t have to mean joining a sex cult in Bali or memorizing Sanskrit mantras. It can be about slowing down, turning on, and getting really good at paying attention.
