The Colourful Sheep Has Arrived: BOUNCE Joins the UNDR Family
Every family has that kid. The one who shows up to dinner in a sequin jumpsuit, laughs too loud, jumps on the sofa at 3am and somehow still gets away with it.
Hi. That's us.
BOUNCE is officially part of the UNDR family, and our very first party is on Saturday 17 October 2026 at INSOMNIA Berlin. Pop the confetti. Actually, pop all of it.
Meet the family (they wear a lot of black)
UNDR does dark, and it does it very well. UNLEASHED is sexy techno with play areas open all night. HEAT turns you into pure body heat on a thermal projection wall. CAGE is the raw one, down under the S-Bahn tracks. Leather, steel, strobes, serious faces, serious kick drums.
We love them. We'd also quite like to borrow their sound system and fill it with bubblegum.
Every family needs a black sheep. UNDR already had a whole flock of those, so it got a colourful sheep instead: pink wool, holographic hooves, far too much personality. Family dinners will never be quiet again.
Berlin wears black. BOUNCE doesn't.
The colourful sheep
Wait, haven't I seen you before?
Maybe you have. Before we moved in with the family, we were running around the city as Trance Baby Trance, the party that called itself Berlin's first kinky trance party.
It started as a proper experiment in 2025. The teams behind UNLEASHED and Colors of the Night asked a slightly unhinged question. Berlin's kinky scene has always danced to techno, so what happens if you swap it for euphoric trance, 90s rave cheek and a lot of neon? We opened the doors at INSOMNIA and told you straight: you show up, you dance, you decide if it lives on.
You decided. Loudly.
So the experiment kept going: shinier outfits, higher hands, more glitter swept up at 6am. We sent Trance Baby Trance off in style on 15 August 2026, straight after the Rave The Planet parade, with CLAESSENS headlining the main floor and the whole city still sparkling from the Straße des 17. Juni. It was a goodbye party with glitter in its eyes.
Why the new name?
Honestly? The old one was writing cheques the music didn't cash. People came for trance classics and got hit by modern, Eurodance-flavoured bounce. Nobody complained, but the name no longer fit the party or the house it was moving into.
So: new name, same heart. The trance, the Eurodance, the 90s/00s rave revival, the glitter, the latex, the neon, the same people behind the decks and at the door. Same euphoria, same kinky, colourful, consent-led energy. Now with a family behind it.
So what is BOUNCE?
A colourful playground for consenting adults, somewhere between rave, kink and Berlin nightlife. Colour, glitter, noise and joy, all dialled up.
The sound: Bounce, Hard Dance and Euphoric Trance. Fast, melodic and built for jumping. Big hooks, hands in the air, the drop everyone screams along to. Fast. Loud. Ridiculous. On purpose.
Two dancefloors:
- Main Floor. Big, bouncy and deliberately not deafening. You can still hear the cutie next to you, which turns out to be very useful.
- Dungeon. More weight, and the sound system does what it was built for. Go down when you want to feel it in your ribcage.
Multiple playspaces sit around the floors. They're open, optional and consent-first. Curious? Go explore. Want to dance for eight hours straight? Also completely valid. Nobody has to do anything except have a great time.
The dresscode: yes, costumes count
Here's the whole rule: make an effort. It doesn't have to be expensive. It has to be on purpose.
This is the one party in the family where a full costume is a perfectly good outfit. Pool-party lifeguard. Y2K space raver. Latex cartoon hero. Human disco ball. Traffic cone, but make it sexy. Fairy, devil, clown. Pastel uniform. We've seen worse ideas win best-dressed.
The rest of the hell-yes list: neon latex, vinyl and PVC (if it squeaks, it's probably right), glitter in industrial quantities, sequins, rhinestones, chrome, holographic anything, fur, feathers, fishnets, mesh, harnesses, lingerie, bodysuits, collars, cuffs and platforms.
The nope list is short. Jeans stay in the bag. No plain T-shirt with everyday sneakers, and no office look. And stripping off your street clothes inside doesn't count as an outfit: that's not a look, that's laundry.
On a budget? Start with one statement piece, like a neon harness or a coloured wig. Raid costume shops, toy aisles and second-hand racks, grab a €5 tub of glitter and some aloe gel, and change inside. The wardrobe will look after your jeans.
Classic all-black fetish wear is welcome too. Just know that when the club is full and the door has to choose, colour gets in first. One bright detail goes a long way. Not sure about your look? DM us a pic on Instagram or Telegram before the night.
First time at a kinky party? Start here.
If you've been curious about Berlin's kinky scene but never quite dared, BOUNCE is the softest landing we know. It's music first, and the kink is an extra.
- You don't need a fetish wardrobe. Colour, glitter, a silly accessory and some effort get you in.
- Nobody has to be naked. Show as much or as little as you like.
- Watching is fine. Playspaces are optional, and joining in happens by invitation only. Ask before you touch.
- Coming alone is normal. The crowd is open, friendly and a bit ridiculous. You'll have friends by the second drop.
- Phones get handed in at the wardrobe, so nobody ends up in someone else's story. There's a consent-first photo corner from 22:30 to 01:30 for the 'gram.
- The awareness team is there all night. Water and fruit stations too, because bouncing is cardio.
Our tip: eat first, come early for a short queue, check your coat, grab a drink and take a lap to see where everything is. Then bounce.
Think of BOUNCE as the fun cousin who takes you to your first family gathering. Once you're comfortable, the rest of the UNDR family is right there waiting: UNLEASHED, HEAT, CAGE. You'll know where the good snacks are by then.
The house rules (not boring, promise)
- Zero tolerance for discrimination. Not now, not ever.
- Consent is mandatory. No assumptions. Only an explicit yes counts.
- Boundaries are respected. A no ends the conversation.
- The awareness team has your back. Find them if anything feels off. Anyone who ignores a no goes home.
