In spring 2016, someone looked at Berlin's kinky scene and found it too serious. Too rigid. Too exclusive for anyone who hadn't already memorized the unwritten rules. Four Play was the answer, a party built specifically to break through those walls and invite the curious, the inexperienced, and the creatively dressed into a space that was safer, warmer, and considerably more colorful than what came before.
Ten years later, Four Play celebrates its anniversary at the KitKatClub on June 5th. And what started as a corrective has become an institution.
To call it a party is to undersell it. With five or six dance floors spanning Techno, House, Disco, Psytrance, Jazz and Soul, plus performances, interactive stations, and a carefully curated awareness team from kollektiv b_aware moving through the space all night, Four Play operates closer to a festival. Each edition draws thousands. Each edition is built from scratch.
What has stayed constant over a decade is the ethos. Four Play has always been loud about consent. Not as a disclaimer, but as a design principle. Guests are expected to interact. They're also expected to ask first, every time. The awareness team is not decoration, and the dress code (latex, leather, lingerie, naked with tape, ancient Rome, glittery festival chaos) is not aesthetic vanity. It's a signal. If you can wear it casually on a Tuesday, it doesn't belong here. Leave the denim at home.
The party actively works toward a balanced, safer space, with men admitted more carefully to ensure the room feels right for everyone inside. Ten years of getting this right has earned Four Play its reputation as one of the most genuinely inclusive kink events in a city that has no shortage of competition.
The anniversary edition promises everything the format does best: multiple worlds within one building, music that moves between genres without apology, bodies that do the same.
Ten years. Still playing.
