history
Icon's trendsetting music agenda and ambitious bookings policy have established the Berlin club's reputation well beyond the borders of the German capital. It all began more than 10 years ago in an old disused brewery. A lot of rebuilding work later, Icon is a mainstay of the city's underground music scene with a mix of regular club nights, one-off events and concerts.
As well as residencies by a stable of local "spinmasters," Icon regularly hosts top international DJs like Mr. Scruff, Bloody Beetroots, Grooverider or Nightmares on Wax. The club is also a venue for label nights with established names like London's Ninja Tune or France's Ed Banger.
There are also regular events in co-operation with partners such as Bread & Butter,
the progressive clothing scene's annual fashion and trade extravaganza, or the
music and entertainment trade fair Popkomm.
In 2008 Icon is voted as Germany's best Drum'n'Bass location at Future-Music.net!
But of course: It's best for all kinds of clubmusic…
In Berlin's fast-changing club scene, Icon is firmly established as a venue for new sound experiences. An insider tip for cutting-edge clubbers who want to party beyond the mainstream.
