I’ve had a lovely summer in Berlin and now it’s come to an end. I played a handful of times back in June/July — Panoramabar, Maximum Joy @ Sameheads, Cocktail d’Amore @ Club OST, Dissident @ Oxi, Outer Place @ CDV and Welt Discos @ Renate — and went to a whole load of other parties in my quest to visit all of the clubs I’d never been to before. I managed to tick some off the list — Oxi, Ost, Heidegluehen, Ohm and Else — but several still remain — About/Blank, Kater Blau, Sisyphos, Zenner, Golden Gate, KitKat, Prince Charles, RSO…so I guess I’ll just have to come back. The weather was largely shite until this past week when I managed to go to the outdoor pool four times. I did not speak much German other than “Ich habe mein Handy im Toilette vergessen”, which was apparently good enough to convince the Sommerbad bouncer to let me back in to fetch my phone. Leben, lachen, lieben, as they say.
Here are the hits and misses from my last long weekend in Berlin.
