inception is a recurring berlin club night running since around 2020, organized under the psychedelic inception banner and held at m-bia, an established club in the city's mitte district. the format is consistent across editions: two floors, one dedicated to goa, progressive, and psytrance, the other to techno and harder electronic styles. the second floor for this edition is hosted by schwarzlichtbande.

the series brings in a named headliner each time alongside a rotating cast of local and regional acts. babalos, returning to the night after roughly a year and a half away, headlines the goa floor. past editions have celebrated series anniversaries and brought in guest acts from outside berlin, suggesting the night has built a steady following in the city's psytrance and techno crossover crowd.
