It was one of the best events i have been to this year, and one of my favourites overall, even though this year was a trial, so initially I had no expectations. The venue is absolutely great: enough space, great air conditioning which allowed not to feel the heatwave outside at all, very comfortable temperature on the dancefloor. Pretty lights, enough space to chill. DJs and the music were superb both at the socials and comps. The “experimental” concept with possibility to buy passes for each day separately, and the concept of different dances incorporated in wcs on Sunday was so useful and well executed! The workshops in general were very good! Socials were great fun too, enough space and good follower/leader balance. The only consideration is the floor: it is pretty hard because it is linoleum, but it got better on Saturday and Sunday, so was not a problem in the end. Overall, amazing event, big appreciation to Clem and Evi as organisers, and all the crew who made it happen. I will definitely come back next year 🧡

What other reviewers have not said yet is the amazing spa area and the rooftop bar with an impressive view of the TV tower! The schedule was well constructed with enough time to grab food with friends nearby. I even discovered some new cafes that I'm definitely visiting outside of this event. Well connected by tram and ringbahn, it is easy to get to other places within the city. The overall vibe was super warm and cozy even though it was a huge event. You can tell that Clem and Evi poured their heart into this event.

Clevi have put up an amazing event and I am already looking forward to next year's edition. Floor was Linoleum, a bit slow (though not sticky!) with new leather soles and just perfect for the worn out shoes. So pack a few pairs to find your sweet spot. Room was incredibly spacious also with a large chill out area. The festival hat only one floor, but the music offered something for everybody. I loved in particular the idea of diversity sets and I hope to see that more in the future - maybe diving in more into different music styles as well. The organisation was super smooth, no delays whatsoever and shows and presentations were without any extra fuss. The Location itself is a rather meh neighbourhood, though it's well connected with Tram and S-Bahn to get around. Opposite the hotel are places for groceries and the hotel itself has a little self service store for late night munchies.

First of all, this event really attracted people who share the ED’s values and wanted to experiment with and explore their dancing. It felt very inclusive and friendly. The venue was the best hotel-type venue I’ve been to for any event in Europe — spacious, air-conditioned, and airy, which was perfect given the heatwave. The floor felt a bit suspicious at first but worked well for my suede shoes and for friends wearing sneakers (Flows and such). The only downside is that it’s not springy like wood, so it doesn’t absorb shock as well — my feet were hurting a bit by day one. Comps were organised perfectly, though as someone who doesn’t care much for that side of festivals, I’d have appreciated a second room running social dancing (or classes) in parallel, especially during prelims. The music and DJs deserve a special mention — you did some magic. I couldn’t take a break, because every song, including many experimental tracks, made me want to dance. I Shazamed everything and will push to get those tracks played at our more conservative local events 😁 Accommodation had a few hiccups: an issue with the bathroom door, a broken mini-fridge, and barely-there air-con, which they couldn’t fix on day one as the hotel was fully booked. Staff response varied, but some went out of their way — keeping my food in their fridge and bringing cold drinks on request. The location is a bit outside the centre on a busy, noisy intersection, but transport links to the airport and city centre are great, and there was still time for some sightseeing. Overall — would stay there again
