Basslines Beyond Borders: Migrant Legacies in German Club Culture

This panel explores how migrant artists, organisers, and dancers contribute to, sustain, and transform club culture across Germany. It asks: whose sounds define the dance floor? Whose labour keeps it alive? And how can nightlife spaces better recognise and support these transnational cultural contributions—not as fringe, but as central to the future of inclusive urban life? We’ll hear from DJs, researchers, and cultural workers on the politics of visibility, spatial belonging, and the ongoing negotiations between nightlife and migration.
