• Astral Pilot – Electro Acupuncture [Harthouse] (1995)

The Omen emerged from Club Vogue in 1988. Under the leadership of the trio Sven Väth, Michael Münzing and Mathias Martinson, the club developed into one of the centers of the global techno scene over the next ten years. In addition to co-founder Sven Väth, well-known DJs such as Carl Cox, Frank Lorber, Toni Rios, Gayle San, DJ Dag, Chris Liebing, Ulli Brenner and Jeff Mills played in the club. Väth was known for his sets, which lasted up to 15 hours, which he regularly played on Fridays when he was in Frankfurt.

After the “farewell weekend,” the Omen closed on October 19, 1998 because the owner of the property threatened to terminate the lease. The last track played was “Astral Pilot – The Day After”. There were three closing parties in total: on Monday, Wednesday and Friday all the way through to Monday morning. The rush of visitors on Sunday was so great that the organizers put loudspeakers on the street, where several hundred people danced. The police did not intervene, but blocked Junghofstrasse completely for through traffic for several hours.
