Sedaction
02:00 a.m. – 05:00 a.m.
A household name within Cologne’s shimmering scene, Sedaction thrives in the art of contrast familiar yet unpredictable, fluid yet precise. Her sets are a pulse-driven exploration, where rhythms converse, collide, and dissolve into something entirely new. Moving seamlessly from downtempo subtlety to high-energy urgency, she crafts a dynamic push and pull, layering rolling percussions that sway hips before propelling bodies into unstoppable motion. As a member of E.P.I.Q., she is part of a movement that reshapes dance floor narratives, weaving momentum into hypnotic flow. When sound becomes sensation, when dissonance finds harmony-you know you’re deep in Sedaction’s world.

Entrance: €7,00 (Free entrance with accreditation or season ticket.)
