On Saturday 28 November. Sven Väth returns to Ampere in our final stretch, a moment that doesn’t need much framing, but inevitably lands differently at this point in the journey. There’s a certain clarity in nights like these, where what matters is simply bringing the right artist back into the room, at the right time, and letting that speak for itself.

Few artists have shaped the long arc of electronic music as consistently as he has. From the early Frankfurt years to the global reach of Cocoon, his path runs alongside the evolution of the culture itself. Behind the decks, that history becomes a way of working: extended sets built on patience and intuition, vinyl at the centre, and a rare ability to let a room unfold rather than direct it. It’s DJing as long-form storytelling, less about control, more about trust in the moment.

His return to Ampere in this phase of the journey adds its own resonance. Not as nostalgia, but as a shared continuity between artist, room, and crowd. And a reminder of what these nights can become when given time to breathe properly.

Mathias Kaden brings his own long-standing story into the room, over 25 years behind the decks, more than 4000 gigs across clubs and festivals worldwide, and still playing with the same unmistakable sense of energy and curiosity that shaped him from the start. Rooted in Germany’s Thuringian scene but shaped far beyond it, his sets have always carried a very physical quality: open, responsive, and driven by instinct rather than fixed direction.

Opening the night, Zephyr sets things in motion with a steady, focused build into the night.
