Weekend Madness with Steve Bug

May 9, 2006 on 12:36 pm by Thomas | In Berlin Scene, Movies, Music |

The Weekend is one of the most famous clubs in Berlin. Situated in the 12th floor of a skyscraper, it has not only one of the most impressive locations but also one of the best bookings. Techhouse, Minimal, funky, bleepy, souly, from Jazzanova to Tiefschwarz, from Turntable Rockers to M.A.N.D.Y, Dirt Crew, Booka Shade.. they invite popular DJs with taste. To watch pictures and a movie

And then there’s the people. Hedonistic, sometimes arrogant, beautiful and bitchy, superficial until the 6th vodka bangs in, dirty dancers and cool observers. Definitely special. The ~~60 year~~ more than 70 year old woman who takes care of the bathrooms could certainly tell some interesting stories.

But, like in most clubs: The differences between the people shade away with the process of the evening. And, especially in Week-end, the early hours are the best. The sun rises and sheds its light trough all the room which has big windows on three sides. People keep dancing and welcome the morning. DJs play their best records. The bar people give away quick drinks.

Last saturday, the Pokerflat posse had their big appearance. Steve Bug, Clé, Martin Landsky - names that have been present within the last ten years of club music. Heroes. Brilliant Djs. And really nice people, Clé has many nice laughing wrinkels, e.g..

Enough for the words, watch this little movie in dirty quality (sorry, I just had my phone!) and some pictures of a grand evening.

Oh. Be sure it was a cool morning. Actually, I was never a big fan of Weekend, sometimes it’s really snobby.
But Saturday was awesome
Pbar? Or did you mean PHB?
Cool place, too, I was there until 2am and I am going back certainly.

don’t know the phb (but heard it must be cool, heard this from suzi w.’s boyfriend), but of course the panoramabar, where the party doesn’t really start until the morning hours… but when they quickly open and close the sun-blinds the people really go crazy…
well maybe i should sometime visit the weekend, but i’m too scared of the hip and snobby mitte-crew there… (prejudices are just too great! haha).

You know, the time I spent living in Europe I really enjoyed it. As far as clubbing/partying goes, I loved partying in big crowds, staying out every weekend until the sun came up, and observing some really decadant parties.

I loved how many headliners one could see, and I miss that in the US a great deal… …one can really have the chance to catch all kinds of music.

The down side to all of that is that people are saturated with it over there, and more surprising still is that the music isn’t as good as it could be too often because there’s always tomorrow night, and the night after that. Also, the people will get snobby and sit around in some drug-crazed stupor (like in that video) thinking they are the coolest party people in the known universe, which gets old fast. I mean, that would be a great party if people were on their feet dancing. Practically no one dances. They just march in place and pop another pill.

Now, in the midwest of the USA- Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit… when the party is bangin, people get into it! They dance, get loud, and really feel the music. It might be on an earlier schedule, but it really can be a long night when you start at 10 pm and go til 4 am, then go to an after hours…

Just some observations.. I love partying on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for different reasons. Keep the reviews coming, Stylewalker!

[...] I talked about week-end Berlin here already several times, especially this post has gained some attention. Now, after opening another room in the 15th floor of the same skyscraper, they did their masterpiece by turning the roof of one Berlin’s highest buildings into a club area. You have an amazing view over the city from there and it’s a perfect place to watch the sunset and listen to some housy beats. [...]
