👽 Ahoy dear spring cheer, ahoy dear sunbeams!
The Helenesee has definitely awakened from its winter slumber!
The booking goblins are already on the home stretch with their work for Bucht der Träumer 2023, and floor construction plans are being pored over in the galley!
One thing's for sure: there's a lot of steam in the creative cauldron at the moment and you can prepare yourselves for some surprises this summer! This year will be even more diverse, bold and detailed than ever before! The pandemic has calmed down, which gives us a tailwind and our ingenious planning team is fully committed!
In this newsletter you get a little taste of the warm season in the Bucht der Träumer* universe. And it's going to be a double whammy:
We have new neighbors at Helenesee: The Reflex Festival is for all fans of fast techno, trance, and psy and will take place from June 16th to June 18th at Helenesee!
And over at Mellensee, the crew of the Sternfest is getting ready to board their space capsules from June 9th to June 11th!
There is also news about ticketing & participation, as well as a music recommendation from this year's program!
Have fun reading!
Reflex Festival
At the Reflex-Festival, Psy á la Waldtraut meets fast-paced Techno and everything that really gets going above 130 BPM!
Many of our favorite buchtis are at the start. As sure as the fat drop after the break, Dave Lewis, Josephine Wedekind, Vittjas Tief, Yetti Meissner and Yobovski & Valent, among others, will ensure sore feet and happy faces!
The rest of the line-up is also very impressive, including Boris, Braindrop, Cassie Raptor, Chlair, DJ Yara, DVS1, Hector Oaks, Fadi Mohem, Freddy K, Lokier, Mataraph, Otta, Orestis, Paula Temple, Stephanie Sykes, The Lady Machine and many more.
In addition, some notorious crews and friends are hanging around at the festival and provide hammering beats: Concrete, Durch, Elysion, Fhainest, Gaggalacka, Goat Ball, Gegen, Hard Trade, Heisss, Ismus, Parvati Records, Pornceptual, Sachsentrance, Sonic Loom, Synoid, Voknox und xXETEXx.
Not only the fat lineup will make us sweat, but also our festival sauna, which will be up and heated too. Because even those who like to really rock out need moments to come down!
Additionally there will be a varied workshop program with Pyramid Party, Kyle Patrick, Stinny Stone, Edgegar Stark and many more!
And as good neighbors we support the Turborave with our know how about the area and the already existing infrastructure of the Bucht der Träumer*: our serotonin tanks & confetti drives are under full steam for the Reflex Festival!
We are really looking forward to welcoming the festival summer after the long winter with a proper load of Psy, Acid, Techno and Deeptec!
Sternfest
South of Berlin, a crazy band is getting ready to conquer the galaxy with their infectious insanity and mischief.
The Sternfest at Mellensee takes place for the third time and let us put it this way: with a fat lineup like theirs every supernova looks pale!
Among others Extrawelt, Kerala Dust, Acid Pauli, Township Rebellion, Mimi Love and Oliver Huntemann have made themselves ready on the launch pad.
In the squadron also fly some well-known flagships from our rave scene: Rebellion der Träumer, Mystic Creatures, Ostend, Down., Easy Tiger, Schrottpourri* and many more create a euphoric ether of stardust, bass and grandiose floor concepts.
We are very excited to hear what our friends from Sternfest have to tell us about their journey into the epiverse and are already looking forward to galactic souvenirs from their crazy rave escapades!
A little preview of Sternfest will take place this Friday, April 14th, at Kater Blau, where the wild crew from Mellensee will clean up the Hopper. Ready with their brooms are Elias Doré, Baba The Knife, Konfusia, and SHA, already rolling up their sleeves!

📣 News from the galley
Program teaser: Em Coco at Boilerroom
Amapiano is spreading like wildfire right now. The music style with roots in South Africa can perhaps best be compared with Deephouse at a speed of around 112 BPM. Instead of the typical buildup- & droparchitecture of technoproductions you can expect exciting percussions and life-affirming shouts. Rhythm and groove are clearly in the foreground here.
We are mesmerized and are looking forward to welcoming various acts from this genre to the Bucht der Träumer* this year.
For those who want to warm up, here is a listening recommendation from the Kenyan Amapiano artist Coco Em:
With this music recommendation we close this newsletter.
See you at the next rave,
Your Dreamers*
