The soul of the Berghain comes to Paris with Mia Mao Breathing new life into a party that seemed to be running out of steam

"The party in Paris has never been so alive", far from the clichés of a dormant capital, the City of Light is preparing to welcome Mia Mao, a new XXL club that will shake up the codes of Parisian nightlife. While some predict the end of the golden age of clubs, the Parisian scene seems to be undergoing a renaissance. After the recent opening of Essaim on October 31st, Mia Mao will further enrich the offering with its dream location: a massive 3000 m2 warehouse nestled in the heart of Parc de la Villette. In this vast industrial space with raw, concrete architecture and ceilings reaching 7 meters, partygoers will find a universe designed for techno, with a custom sound and light system. Mia Mao embodies the new dynamic of partying in Paris, proving that the city continues to attract and reinvent the clubbing experience for a new generation.

Mia Mao not only embraces excess, but also takes a purist approach with its "no photo, no video" policy. Inspired by Berlin temples like Sisyphos and Berghain, this rule aims to provide total immersion without distractions, encouraging clubbers to live in the moment without digital interference. This philosophy strengthens Mia Mao's appeal as a unique and exclusive destination, ready to attract an audience eager for freedom and authentic collective experiences. To mark its opening, the programming meets expectations with Laurent Garnier as the master of ceremonies, a pioneer of French techno who will bring his energy to this new space. Other big names from the electronic scene, such as I Hate Models, Rebeka Warrior, and Electric Rescue, will extend the euphoria, promising a sharp and rhythmic lineup.

The launch of Mia Mao is much more than just a clubbing project: it symbolizes the dynamism of the Parisian electronic scene, which is expanding and supported by public institutions such as the Ministry of Culture, the Île-de-France Region, and the City of Paris. In a context where electronic music is growing in the capital, these initiatives show a desire to promote and sustain underground culture. Paris, already proud of its global reputation in fashion and art, is thus reinforcing its role as the epicenter of techno and is part of an international movement where partying becomes once again a way of life and reconnection, a pulse at the heart of French nightlife.
