Was geht ab, Alter?

Friday, July 30th, 2010

If I had a € for every time my flatmate says those words, I wouldn’t have to work. I believe it’s a Hamburg thing?

BUT what’s going “ab” tomorrow is that he’s playing live with Penner at WEEKEND. Release party for their album “Same Monkeys, different Zoo”.

So sad I can’t be there but celebrating friends marrying in Helsinki isn’t bad either.
Go support!

Birthday bash big time

Friday, July 16th, 2010

My flatmate is celebrating his birthday at Arena tonight! Playing 00:00 – 03.00. As we say in Danish: Kom glad!

Also friend visiting from Copenhagen. Weekend schedule includes late lunch on roof terrace, sundowner beer at 25, bday party, Austrian dinner, MtB Arty Fun Session and Mauerpark Karaokee. We’ll see what else…

My sister is visiting = double trouble. If you need some weekend planning inspiration here’s our schedule (according to plan but plans like rules are made to be broken – or changed).

Starting tonight with a vernissage somewhere at Unter den Linden. I actually have no clue what it’s about. Sarah invited us. Then dinner at Cream including vodka/rhubarb, a Doppelkorn for digestion and a dance while saying hi to the Italian Stallion.

Friday: work, lunch with Felix, work, work and then dinner at Bandol. Maybe going to the roof for a drink and then call it the night.

Saturday is BUSY. Don’t know about the order yet on but One Year Anniversary + Soju Bar opening at Kimchi Princess, friends playing at Bar 25 + Iva’s man playing at Kleine Reise.

Kuchi‘s bday party on Sunday + boat trip with former employer followed by dinner with business partners.

Soundtrack for take off …

Comme Ci Comme Ca is throwing their weekly summer party at Badeschiff tomorrow. With a weather forecast saying 29 degrees, it sounds like a plan!

Line-up:
DJ Hell
Dj Kaos
Paul Mogg

Starting at 21:00, €5 entrance.

Peter, you get the remote!

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Most of the times when Flavour and Peter play together (as Dirt Crew) they reach a certain hour (or should I say mental/physical condition) where Peter goes harder, deeper, meaner.

I LOVE it! Flavour doesn’t. But guess what, on Thursday Peter isn’t playing with Flavour but with Daniel. I just hope Daniel won’t be too “Disco, disco!” (say it like Zohan).

Thursday at Farbfernseher.

From that place

Add ons

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Apparently there is a lot more going on tomorrow than the masquerade at TAUSEND. Basically there is everything from a fashion store opening to a rave at Berghain.

The opening of FIRMAMENT in Linienstraße 40, 16:00 – 21:00
Restaurant opening, La Pulqueria at Spreewaldplatz 5 (Kreuzberg)
SPEX Live at Berghain, 21:00 – ?
BETTER THAN FICTION by Stylemag at Smart Urban Stage, 20 – 23:00

- and of course the place of the moment where a certain circle of people seems to be hanging EVERY night according to their Facebook updates: SOHO House.

- I wonder if I’ll get a strafe since I’ve only been there once since the opening. Better go tonight!

And my plans tomorrow? I’ll be sitting in a bar in Friedrichshain with a native Berliner and a wodka tonic – MIT Limette.

For or against? I’m for!!! So I guess, I kind of have to go see him play. Thursday at Watergate.

More DJs should finish their sets with dancing topless on the speakers.

One opening after the other

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Summer is truly being kicked off with a number of new venues around the city – and the well known spots getting ready for another (hopefully fantastic!) season.

I put together a list for you. Below the photo. Places that are “must experience” this season.


Photo from LastNightsParty

King Size?
New bar from the people behind Grill Royal located in Friedrichstraße close to Oranienburgerstraße. I went on the opening night but I’m not sure about the name. Was it “King Size”? Bar Tausend watch out for competition!

Tausend in the sky
Soon to open again. The roof terrace venue in Kreuzberg located in the same building as Kimchi Princess. Great for a sundowner drink or pre-clubbing on a warm night.

Chipps
New restaurant run by Cookie and his team. As mentioned, I went to the opening last Saturday and looking forward to go back and test the food! I’m sure I will spend several late summer nights outside on the terrace.

Resort
The Rodeo jungs are behind this new venue. A restaurant located at the river. Opening tomorrow! More info will follow.

Soho House
With a pool on the roof terrace this venue will probably host some great parties this summer. I believe the opening is on May 4th? At least that was the last info I got per mail.

WEEKEND Roof
Opening tomorrow, Thursday. Many great Summer evenings and Sunday afternoons to come will be spend there!

BAR 25
Does this place need and introduction? Opening on April 30th, 23:59. Reinfeiern!

- and I heard rumours aaaages ago that another very wellknown face from the Berlin nightlife is planning to open a bar….still waiting for hard facts.

I think we’ll be having fun.
If not, we’re to blame

1st May coming up. SO MUCH going on in Berlin. Will do a post next week but here’s a teaser until then:

WEEKEND opens its roof terrace with Carl Craig. The gig is part of Craig’s D25 tour celebrating a quarter century of Detroit techno. If the weather is with us it will be one of the top parties on May 1st. In my oppinion.

As a warm up: There’s an excellent podcast with Carl on Resident Advisor from 29.03.2010. My favorite parts start at 38.46 and 52.25. From 14.55 is also pretty good. You get the point.

If you haven’t subscribed to Resident Advisor podcast yet, do it! Lots of great dj sets every week!
