Anyone who has ever wondered how the Frankfurt music club Das BETT (now bett) got its distinctive name should remember its origins: From September 2005, Das Bett welcomed up to 80 visitors in a cozy and relaxed atmosphere in the Klappergasse in Sachsenhausen. Many of the artists from all over the world whom Das Bett, with its exceptional feel for music and the spirit of the times, managed to book for a show, simply stayed overnight on the upper floor of the BETT after their performance. With a musical program far removed from the mainstream, encompassing every conceivable musical style from cheerful electropop to wild garage rock, and offering a stage to both established underground stars and up-and-coming bands, Das BETT quickly established itself as one of Frankfurt’s most important cultural institutions. With the move of Das BETT to the western Gallus district in 2009, Das Bett team took a bold step towards change. The new venue in the Communications Factory, Schmidtstraße 12, now offers space for up to 500 attendees. Das Bett team will continue to strive to preserve the club’s “unpretentious charm” and philosophy: Das Bett remains committed to making a diverse and sophisticated arts and culture program accessible to everyone at affordable prices.

FINAL DARKNESS // All Styles of Dark Music

Founded in March 2019, Final Darkness (FD) is DAS BETT‘s new alternative party for fans of Gothic, Dark Wave, Future & Synth Pop, and everything else the dark scene has to offer. Initially launched as a party series at DAS BETT, it soon became clear that there was also a high demand for concerts within this scene in and around Frankfurt. Today, Final Darkness regularly hosts (on ten third Saturdays a month) the biggest dark party in Frankfurt, featuring four resident DJs with rotating lineups. Furthermore, Final Darkness regularly organizes diverse concerts in collaboration with Das BETT and has become an indispensable reference point. In addition to musical diversity, Final Darkness events stand for openness, tolerance, and respect. And this time, the Final Darkness Crew organized an ’80s party, which took place at Das Bett.

The party does not have one floor, but 5 floors and therefore a corresponding number of DJs playing music and creating a great atmosphere. Of course they also need to have photos of them taken.

But of course, there were also many people there to party, dance, and enjoy the music and atmosphere. Many of them were dressed in clothing appropriate to the scene.

Next we went to an old display cabinet and afterwards to a room with a green wallpaper.

The last gallery shows the second part of the photos of the room with a green wallpaper. Following that, we went to the attic to take photos there. First on the wooden staircase and then in a cabinet.

All in all, the second session was as enjoyable as the first one. Thanks to Michaela for letting me photograph her.

After that, we went to the building’s entrance and took some more photos there, just like last time, since we both really liked that spot as well. On the way to the next location, we briefly stopped in the narrow hallway where I had taken pictures with Lukas last time.

The last session took place in a room with an old desk right in the middle, and Jenny stood on top of it. On the way back to the lounge, we paused briefly at a door with a broken window.

Once again, it was a very relaxed photo shoot that was a lot of fun, with plenty of funny moments along the way. I’d love to do it again, and many thanks to Jenny for letting me photograph her once more.

[See image gallery at catchingmovement.de] I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Fabio for his spontaneity and for sharing his ideas. It was a great atmosphere.

We then went to a door that was still there, though the opening had been bricked up. From there, we went down to the ground floor and into the entryway, where there is a beautiful old sideboard, in front of which we took some more photos.

From there, we walked to the entrance of the vaulted cellar, went down into it, and finished the shooting session with the yellow corset there.

All in all, it was a relaxed and enjoyable session. Thanks to Michaela for letting me photograph her.
