Circa five years ago, two friends noticed a shift in Berlin’s Club Culture. “Nights were getting longer, everyone was putting more strain on their bodies, but no one was taking better care of themself”, Ravemore founders Dennis Mühlhauser and Mike Vollmuth noticed. Fueled by this observation and the desire to run their own business, they decided to create a product to fix this.
“We were good friends already”, Mike says, “but we’re married now”, Dennis jokes. While there is no marriage license, there is an Articles of Association of a business called Ravemore. Initially, a supplement brand to help with recovery after long nights of dancing, it has now turned into something else entirely.
In 2021, the two friends decided to release merch for their product, mainly because they thought their “logo just looked really cool”. Working with a graphic designer, they created their first collection of biker-adjacent clubwear, which “sold out almost immediately.” This enthusiasm for their clothes quickly gave way to a full pivot.
“It was also the first time that both of us really were passionate for something, so we made the decision to pursue this”, Mike explains. Dennis agrees and adds, “Having a fashion brand was not something we considered then; it felt unthinkable”, but their community’s demand for their designs eventually won them over. “It worked so well because it was authentic”, Mike says, “we were part of a core group back then, going out almost every weekend.”
Eventually, they even caught the attention of Sven Marquardt. “It all started with a like at the beginning of 2025”, Dennis remembers. The “fashion fanatic”, as Mike calls him, liked one of their Instagram posts, which then prompted the two to send his management a pair of pants. Marquardt liked these pants enough to wear them and even collaborate with Ravemore on a bomber jacket, which will be available at this month’s PLATTE Feierabend.
Though their journey started in the techno scene, Mike and Dennis have started to explore new styles. “That very core group, which has supported us from the beginning, were ravers, so we don’t want to change our name”, Dennis explains, “but Ravemore is a representation of Berlin, and there’s much more to it than Techno, Kreuzberg and Neukölln”, Mike continues. They speak about their love for Punk and Jazz music, Berghain as a giant runway, and Berlin as the fashion-Mekka of Germany. “PLATTE represents this, too. All their designers are from Berlin, representing different parts of it.”
Ravemore’s pull lies in authenticity and a strong point of view. Marked by their own personal life in the German capital, it changes but stays personal. “Of course, it’s our Berlin we’re getting inspired by. Everyone will have a different perspective on it. We’re just happy we get to share ours.”
