Onur Özer Plays All Night Long at Cobalt Studios

Onur Özer Cobalt Studios brings the Turkish-born, Berlin-linked selector to Newcastle for an all-night-long set on Friday 9 October 2026. The 21+ club night runs from 11pm to 3am and gives Özer the full session rather than placing him inside a shorter multi-DJ line-up.

Özer has spent more than two decades around underground house and techno, building a reputation for deep record knowledge and sets that can move well beyond a single style. His background stretches from Istanbul’s club culture into regular appearances across Berlin, London, Paris, Barcelona and other European scenes.

Onur Özer Cobalt Studios offers four hours to go deeper

The attraction of an all-night set is the space it creates. Instead of arriving at peak time and immediately pushing for maximum energy, Özer can start with stranger or more patient selections before gradually opening the room up. His reputation has been built around that kind of long-form approach, moving between minimal house, techno, electro and records that are harder to categorise.

Cobalt’s Boyd Street room should suit that perfectly. Its electronic programme often favours selectors with a strong individual identity, while the close dancefloor keeps the relationship between DJ and crowd immediate. Four hours in that setting gives small changes in tempo and mood more weight than they might have in a larger club.

The higher age limit is important for this one. Cobalt has designated selected autumn events as 21+, so anyone booking should make sure they have appropriate ID with them. The venue also asks audiences to respect its no-camera approach on the dancefloor, keeping the focus on the music and the people in the room.

For Newcastle clubbers who follow the deeper corners of house and techno, Özer’s visit is a chance to hear an experienced selector without the compromises of a short festival slot. The format gives him time to dig properly, and Cobalt is a room where that kind of patience tends to make sense.
