About UKW

UKW is a members-only techno club in a former heating power station at Erich-Schlesinger-Straße 49b in Rostock, run by the association Kraftwerk e.V. The Kunst- und Kulturverein Kraftwerk e.V. calls the concrete building the Betondame and describes the venue as a closed cultural space for electronic music. Entry is for association members, with memberships sold online for three, six or twelve months and a set cost contribution per event. Resident DJs from the Rostock scene shape the sound, which centres on techno, with guest nights such as drum and bass. The rules are strict: no photos or video anywhere in the building, no phones on the dancefloor, and only soft drinks at the bar, as the association has no licence to sell alcohol. The club marks its birthday every autumn.
