From kinky parties in the labyrinthine KitKat Club to the smoky gloom of Tresor's repurposed bank vault, to the psychedelic lab of Cocktail d'Amore, \u003ci\u003eBerghain Nights\u003c\/i\u003e not only captures the excitement of Berlin club culture but also asks how techno in a queer club context can help people strip away their inherited hang-ups to find a truer self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBerghain Nights\u003c\/i\u003e is about spiritual frenzy and soulful music, countercultural urgency, and capitalistic cash-ins. It's a story of the most notorious club in the world and of a scene that, enthralling thousands every weekend, feeds billions annually into Berlin's economy. In the midst of it all is the story of a person who, having gone through life feeling like an alien, finds himself in the most alien place imaginable  and feels at home there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Cagney doesn't just write from the middle of the dance floor. He's there in the queue, in the club toilets, and in dark corners. Zooming between histories of techno, Berlin clubs, and his childhood in rural Donegal, this no-holds-barred exploration of dance-floor life describes a site of transformation and repair.'
