Everyone is welcome: festival guests, the crew, and anyone curious to peek behind the festival scenes or simply looking for a fun Friday night of dancing. The sound comes from the Ukrainian Berlin-based DJ collective Hauswerks (Rina Katen, justcallmesergio, Loves_Kills), followed later by a selection of beloved Ukrainian hits for a tipsy singalong into the night.
