After Hours take you back to 2009, a brief moment before Berlin’s international appeal started growing like crazy. The videos below show a time when Bar25 was still with us, where illegal raves were everywhere, and you didn’t need to queue in front of Berghain for 5 hours. On the video above, you can see a Neukölln Arcaden before the hipsters invaded and created Klunkerkranich. Also, there is a DJ set being played in the abandoned boat on the Spree we wrote about a while ago.

If you watched the movie Berlin Calling, you would love After Hours since it works as a real-life documentary version of the film. The web series follows three people in Berlin, during the summer of 2009. They go on party tours of Berlin and enjoy the spirit of the nightlife. For us, the most exciting part of the movies is how you can see the past of Berlin techno while you follow these three people around Berlin.
