Haven: Boris (de // Berghain) // Keepsakes B2b The Rat // Mapmaker

With the sun disappearing and the cold season setting in HAVEN are here to tempt you in to the warm embrace of the Galaxy Arcade for a special sweat session with one of our most beloved international artists…

It is our pleasure to invite Berghain resident and Berlin queer icon BORIS back to the arcade floor after his Ōtautahi debut with us last year. Influenced equally by the industrial club-land of Berlin and the joy and community of legendary NYC clubs Paradise Garage and The Loft, his playful style and infectious energy have earned him an international following in the queer scene and beyond. His scorching techno sets have led to long-term residencies at the likes of Faust Soul, House of Mince in Sydney, and at his home-base of Berghain. Anyone who caught his set last year knows how special this will be - no one knows how to whip a dance-floor in to euphoria quite like Boris!!

Kick-starting the floor for the evening we have Mapmaker - who’s recent sets at the likes of TwoMinds Festival and the Utopia Pride closing party have been 2025 local musical highlights for HAVEN HQ - alongside a b2b from residents The Rat and Keepsakes.

High quality audio provided by 03 legends Subtle Sound System…
