On May 13, legend of Detroit's house underground Omar S opens the season of our new outdoor club domain Outside - an extension of our warehouse ethos under the open sky, between water, concrete and air on Refshaleøen, just outside Poolen.
Spontaneous and alive by design, Outside is a flexible outdoor space, merging a high capacity dancefloor with cozy nooks, secluded corners and hideaways amidst lush greenery and artistic lighting for that playful balance of hanging out as much as dancing – from late night to first light.
Omar S
From the heart of Detroit Omar-S has become one of the most influential voices in modern house and techno. Launching FXHE Records in the early 2000s, he set the tone for a career defined by self-reliance, creativity, and independence. At a time when most producers chased trends, Omar-S pressed his own records, designed his own covers, and distributed music on his own terms.
Respected by critics and revered by peers, Omar-S has earned a cult following that spans generations. His work embodies the underground ethos: do it yourself, keep it real, and let the music speak. For those seeking the true sound of Detroit, Omar-S remains a guiding force — a pioneer who refuses to compromise.
Outside is the open-air extension of Poolen, going beyond the club room, expanding our warehouse ethos under the sky. Outside is our summer domain, built for large-scale parties set between water, concrete and air at Refshaleøen, just outside Poolen.
Spontaneous and alive by design, Outside is a flexible outdoor space, merging a high capacity dancefloor with cozy nooks, secluded corners and hideaways amidst lush greenery and artistic lighting for that playful balance of hanging out as much as dancing – from late night to first light.
Across the summer season, Outside will host a spectrum of events, ranging from Detroit legend Omar S, underground artists on the rise, festival afterparties and genre-spanning club concepts. From sunlit sessions to peak-time nocturnal sets, Outside allows for scale, variation and experimentation.
