ROUTE 03

The Industrial Revival Route.

Berlin and the long heritage of post-industrial sound. Berghain's 18-metre concrete ceilings, Loftas in a Vilnius factory, KOKO restored from a Camden palace.

Three rooms, three former lives. A Friedrichshain power plant, a Soviet-era Vilnius factory, a 1900s London theatre. Each surrendered its original purpose and reopened as a sound system. This route is the soundtrack of European industrial inheritance, scored for techno, post-punk, restored Victoriana and the long Sunday afterparty.
