Nordstern is a nightclub situated in Basel, Switzerland, between Voltaplatz and the Novartis Campus, in an old electricity plant.
[4] The club was founded in 2000 with the intention of becoming an artist's workshop and presentation-room for people engaged in the arts and cultural sector of Basel.
Without destroying Nordstern's industrial flair, the location was completely redesigned in September 2010.
The location now presents itself as an interactive meeting place for creatives and has been further remodeled as a specialized technoclub.
[6] Oliva teamed up with Zurich local and owner of Nordstern, Agi Isaku, to throw parties and select the lineups for their Saturday night parties, which have featured appearances by DJs such as Carl Craig, Ellen Allien and Ricardo Villalobos who at the end of 2008 and 2010 was voted number 1 in Resident Advisor's Top 100 DJs of the year [7]
