Climate x SR 24 hours: Aurora Halal, Bitter Babe b2b Kia, OK Williams

There’s an ocean between them, yet they’ve never felt closer. Berlin and New York, moving in sync, tethered by the same frequency. Just beyond the woods outside the Big Apple lies a place where reality fades into reverie. Cloaked in enigma and touched by the uncanny, Camp Kennybrook reveals itself only once a year. It feels pulled from an adventure novel: pristine nature, starlit skies, a quiet lake where mist catches the moonlight like crystals. A cinematic setting for a weekend of exploration — an American story lived in real time. Each fall, as leaves turn burnt orange and the light softens to gold, this hidden camp becomes a gathering place for something rare. Sustain-Release invites you to hold your breath, then let go. Let your eyes drift through the trees, your thoughts fill with feeling, the bass thunder beneath your feet. Surrounded by earthy echoes, wired sound, and shared energy. There is something unrepeatable here — a mutual euphoria, a trance that has become tradition. Now in its 11th year, it carries the weight of a legend. Remote yet familiar, intimate yet expansive. Aurora Halal, the creative force behind it, brings this vision to Berlin, where it takes root in the city’s soil, spirit, and pulse. Two distant oases, connected by the same essence. Climate of Fear echoes Sustain-Release not only in sound, but in soul. In a surreal corner of Berlin, a sound tower stands beside a lake, and the East Coast story begins again. Wanderers and seekers will make their way to the Spandau castle, and there, something stirs — a deep and unshakable sense of belonging. Whether it’s your first time or a return guided by memory, there is always a moment of recognition, of reunion, or quiet initiation when you realize you’ve arrived. All around is that same undeniable force, passed from heart to body to rhythm. A 24-hour orbit of dance and connection. That is CoF. Getting to the venue couldn’t be easier. A complimentary shuttle runs frequently from Spandau station, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey to and from Backsteinboot. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from helping you prepare for a dance marathon to offering a curated selection of wholesome snacks to keep your energy up. A true celebration is one where everyone feels welcome. The CoF venue is fully accessible — step-free and wheelchair-friendly — so no one is left out. We prioritise mutual respect, with safety and well-being at the core of everything we do. We encourage safe and consensual dancing to create the best possible atmosphere, with clear guidelines provided upon arrival. Discrimination of any kind has no place here. If you’ve never made it to the American fall forest ball, this is your chance — your cinematic moment. The one where you spin the globe and land somewhere between New York and Berlin. Different winds, same shore. Climate of Fear x Sustain-Release The legacy lives on. For low-income or community tickets, feel free to reach out via amiera@climateoffear.net.
