Tomorrow I’ll be talking about virtual worlds and social reasons for escaping into them at the Virtual worlds camp. The camp will take place at Frogster IP, in Hardenbergstraße 9a, Berlin, from 11.00h to 16:00h. I’m talking at 14:15, you can watch the whole conference on Hobnox.

Beside me, there will be other experts, like Computec Media AG CEO Johannes Sevket Gözalan, Sunny Park from Frogster Korea or Mirko Caspar from Metaversum, talking about virtual worlds, gaming in general, promotion and business models within that area.

There will be a party at night, too, where I’ll be djing at a secret place you will have to find out by asking the sausage seller at Choriner Str, corner to Schönhauser Alle. You can register for the event at amiando.

There is a big club dying and summer goodbye saying this weekend in Berlin. 103 Club is closing tonight, the Fire club as well, Ritter Butzke ends the summerseason with Grindcore, Teichmann und Dohse and we have the open air finishing with Karneval der Verpeilten on sunday. Check all the dates on Stylewalker’s party list.

On saturday, DJ Wool (another NYC pal in Berlin) celebrates his Gangsters & Models release on pale records at Picknick (see flyer above). If have been offered some download links for this nice piece of eurotrashy, ravy music including many remixes. Thanks, Glen, and I’m glad you like my blog!

Melt Festival 08: Berlin Battery final show of the festival The last moment of a long DJ show at a festival often is a magical moment, especially when it’s the last gig on that stage. I remember Roni Size and Dynamite playing extra long into the sunlight, same for Goldie next year as last show on the big stage.

This year, Goldie again was part of a legendary show: Skream, Lowqui and the godfather of DnB rocked the Dubstep floor massively on saturday. Watch Skream crowdsurfing in a video below. And with this year sunday being the last day of the festival, the big honour to close Melt 08 laid in the hands of Berlin Battery who had several last records until finally the gates had to close and everybody had to go home, to sleep, or to rock on at the Sleepless floor outside. Despite all the criticism coming down to Melt! this year, with such a frenetic finishing, it cannot have been such a bad festival..

Trotz des eher bescheidenen Wetters lassen sich die umtriebigen Partymachers Berlins nicht beirren und starten jetzt, da sowohl die Berliner aus dem Urlaub wieder da als auch viele Sommertouristen immer noch da sind, richtig durch.

Nachdem die Bar25 in ihrem vielleicht letzten Jahr des Bestehens durch Filmvorführungen, Showcases, Modeschauen und allerlei weitere Mainstreamveranstaltungen noch einmal besonders viele Gäste in den Genuss ihres doch einzigartigen Flairs und Ortes kommen lassen möchte (dabei natürlich auch riskiert, ihr freakiges Stammpublikum zu verlieren), geht es an anderen Open Air-Orten etwas undergroundiger zu:

Sunglasses, headphones, a record bag and of course an undefeatable attitude.. will get you into almost everything. “I am djing tonight.” is enough, it will even get you backstage to Australian parliament. Hilarious how-to video by RonJ on 5min.

This weekend in Berlin will see art, music, politics and overall a mashup of all: Friday night will see Substance, the biggest Dubstep party on the European continent so far, at Berghain, there is the big art festival Videoakt on friday and saturday where Stylewalker’s going to spin, and on sunday people living in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg have the chance to cast their votes for or against the urban development project Mediaspree.

I don’t know which artists I am going to take care of this time, I’ll post it as soon as I know. But everything about the line up, maps, tickets, pics and videos you can find in the Melt! (blog me) SITE below. Repost it at your blog (just click “blog me”), Myspace or Facebook and take the chance to win tickets!

Funkpark / Rechenzentrum is one of Berlin’s most interesting locations right now. Situated right by the water, a little south-east from Treptower park, it is a beautiful outdoor area, with volleyball pitches, beach, little huts, bars and lots of sand. And during the weekends, the party moves to the indoor location Rechenzentrum, equipped with an impressive sound system.

Tomorrow, I have the big honor to play some tunes from 18h, then watch THE game (Ronaldo, I want to see you cry. Again.) and play on a little. So, please come around, find a map below. You can ride the bike from Ostkreuz (10min) or take the bus 21 from Frankfurter Tor, Bersarinplatz, Boxhagenerplatz and Ostkreuz (exit Markgrafendamm, then some meters to the right towards the crossing) stopping at Köpenickerchaussee/Blockdammweg. There’s a map after the click:

“HIT-AND-RUN” stands for meeting up at one known place at a certain time and then walk altogether to a secret location. So, if you miss the departure, you’re out! If you do make it, you’re in for some very interesting and inspiring experience. Like the people who organize the Hit and Run Kino. Almost every wednesday you will find an email where to meet up in the evening an then will be guided to a unique and special place to watch unique and special films. It’s great!

Like today: Meet at 21:00h at Hauptbahnhof - Hauptausgang Europaplatz and walk to a abandoned hospital. In the operating room you will watch “Komm Süßer Tod”.

If you are lucky, you can get on this list and be informed next time.

Be sure to check out the Stylewalker Partylist (note to self: must change the blog layout so there’s space on the homepage for the list, a gallery, a video and a featured dj mix - left side navigation, center: textupdates), there’s some nice fiestas coming on, tonight Jamie Lidell and the last party at Salon zur Wilden Renate before the summer break, tomorrow Karneval der Kulturen parade, afterparty at Ritter Butzke and most of all the Home Sweet Home open air at Rechenzentrum, Nalepastraße.

Das BBbaby ist ein neuer Club, der temporär in den Räumen des ehemaligen “Schwarzen Raben” in der Neuen Schönhauser 13 residiert. Sehr simpel, sehr schick, sehr konzept: Eintritt sind stolze 15EUR, dafür findet man drinnen Kühlschränke voller Moritz Pilsener, Cava und Solan de Cabras (klasse Wasser) zur freien Verfügung der Anwesenden. Statt Bar, sozusagen. Andere sagen Flatrate.

Alles dies sind katalanische Köstlichkeiten, herrührend von der Verbbbindung der Macher nach Barcelona. Diese organisieren dort halbjährlich die Modemesse Bread&Butter und eröffnen zur Wintersaison einen Laden in Berlin, in der, genau, Schönhauser 13. Got it? Immer Dienstags, Donnerstags und Freitags zwischen 20h und 24h gibt es also Eklektisches vom Plattenteller und Eklektiker in den Sofas und an den Säulen lehnend. Diesen Dienstag (heute) gibt es Musik von Stylewalker (that’s me!) und Steve (somebody else!). Donnerstag den 24.04. auch (da geht es vielleicht auch ein bisschen länger)

Wer kommen will, sagt mir Bescheid, ich habe ein begrenztes Kontingent auf der Gästeliste und auch für alle anderen gibt es Rabatt. Bitte schreibt mir, ob ihr heute oder am Donnerstag kommen wollt, dann machen wir ne Flasche Cava auf und lassen sie in unsere Nabel perlen. Fins ara!

Check out this new club in Berlin, opens tuesdays, thursdays and fridays from 18h to 24h, sometimes (well..) longer.

Located at what used to be the “Schwarzen Raben” at Neue Schönhauser Straße 13 and equipped with what you would call grandma’s old furniture it’s a cousy lounge for friendly people with fresh djs, like Oli deluxe (today) and Stylewalker (soon).

Hurry to see it because soon (july) it will be the clothing store “14 oz.”, run by Bread & Butter.

While I am almost off to Leipzig to attend the Lorna-night at Sweat with Patrick Gräser, I would like to recommend to all the poor souls who have to be in Berlin AGAIN my party list and this übercool, poppy and minimal mix, by Bohemiaz, picked up at Project Afterhour.

Going out in Berlin will be fun this weekend, lots of parties and nice events, check out the Berlin party list. And feel free to link to it, I really spend a lot of time to handpick the coolest stuff and the list is really nicely updated!

Tomorrow he’ll be playing at Tresor at the “We are”-labelnight. Check out what Suzi Wong has to say about it and listen to a mix done at Harry Klein in Munich [via Minimal Mixe]

“trocken, minimal und vorallem schwedisch wirds morgen im Tresor. Das Malmoer Label „We Are” ist gleich mit 2 seiner Artists angerückt, die heiligen Hallen zu bespielen. Labelowner Agaric wird zeigen, dass er nicht nur gute Platten produzieren, sondern auch genau so begnadet an den Turntables rocken kann. Mikael Stavöstrand holt live (und hoffentlich analog) seine Livepeitsche raus. Aua, ist das geil!”

Check out this and all the rest of the going out in Berlin underground party list!

Deep opens again, fantastic line-ups at Ritter Butzke, 103 and Berghain and last but not least I am playing as well.
Check it out.

Look down and here you’ll find new dates for the weekend. More to come!

Finally, it’s here! The long awaited easy to go Stylewalker’s secret underground party list. Very subjective of course. Handpicked and selected.

For further dates check e.g. De-Bug or Nachtagenten Berlin. Thank you for all the emails, bulletins and forum entries!

Reclaim the Sparkasse is a partycrew that likes to invade bank vestibules or washing saloons to celebrate spontaneous parties as you can see on their myspace. For tonight they found an empty house in Greifswalderstr. 218. Everyone should come and bring drinks, it’s free, there’s even a heating and a toilet and they will have good music.

For tomorrow you should check out the new club “Crush” on Behrenstr. 55 (very Mitte!), Pictoplasma Festival and some Djs like Strobocop or Touch of class. Read more here.

Watergate seen from the Oberbaum bridge, by FeffefActually, Watergate is one of the best clubs in Berlin. It’s a great venue, just by the river, you can sit outside or dance inside, in two really big rooms and, to be honest, it has a soundsystem that might not be as massive as the Fabric’s e.g. but certainly stands the test against the other big club players in Berlin. Tresor does not sound any better, neither does Berghain, not to speak of Week-end, Cookies, Tape, 103, Maria or whatever, Watergate sets a standard in sound here. Not only that, the club is famous for its immense light show, a stream of LEDs that cover the ceiling and swoosh through the night.

Watergate lightshow, by SgisToday, Watergate celebrates its fifth birthday which is a long time for a club in Berlin. Last years fourth birthday was massive already and you better come early because although its a wednesday it is going to be packed. You know: in Berlin there is no difference in between weekend and week, the party people will always be around.

So will the DJs tonight: André Galluzzi (Taksi, Ostgut Ton), Zip (Perlon), Sammy Dee (Perlon), Matt John (Perlon), Sebo K. (Mobilee, Get Physical), Tom Clark (Highgrade), Jens Bond Highgrade, Sender), Phage (Mobilee, Upon You), Daniel Dreier (Highgrade, Klang), Ruede Hagelstein (Upon You), Carsten Klemann (My My), Nick Höppner (My My) and many more.

New location (Skalitzer 130), new drive, great line-up: This sunday, October 21st, the legendary Beatstreet afterhour opens its gates again (18:00) and tries to live up to the big expectations. Check beatstreet.info for more information and Hauptstadtblog for a longer stories about Berlin afterhours including a movie that starts at Beatstreet.

Stylewalker appears behind the turntables again this saturday at Waldohreule near Schlesisches Tor, so be prepared!

While being in the middle of preparing their appearance at Insomnia festival in Tromsö, Norway, the friendly yet hard partying robots and robotines have a special appearance at ZMF this wednesday: Notic Nastic will play live at zurmoebelfabrik on Brunnenstrasse 10, stagetime: 01:00h. Rock with us, go with us on a holiday, celebrate the Norwegian winter!

Before you can go to Week-end to attend a lecture held by Sonar Kollektiv and Red Bull Music Academy about the last ten years in music business. Starts at 20pm and features Jürgen von Knoblauch, Claas Brieler, Stefan Leisering, Axel Reinemer (all Jazzanova), Steffen “Dixon” Berkhahn (Innervisions), Dirk Rumpff (Red Bull Music Academy) and Jan Joswig (De:Bug).

If one bar in Barcelona has made an impressive career this year it must have been “La Caseta del Migdia“. Even without being in Barcelona, you could hear the talk about it all over Europe. Also Bread and Butter had the final celebration in that amazing place on Montjuic. Situated on the south corner of the Montjuic Castell, you have a great view over the harbour on one side and over the city to the other. It is open air, they serve fine food and good drinks and DJs spin chilly rare grooves while you contemplate the Mediterranean.

You can get there, taking the 55 bus and walk upwards to the castle, In summer, on weekend evenings it used to be open until 2am, now I assume they close a little earlier. Here is another little article about La Caseta del Migdia

Is reunification the opposite of independence? Is unification a hidden calling for sexual action? Everybody come together and unite! Ok then, let’s check out some public places for uniting and celebrating into the 3rd of October, our beloved national holiday.

At Cookies Phonique plays some records so at least the music will be ok. The people will be especially ok at PartyArty in 103 (creative, unconventional, entertaining), Zementgarten will be open tonight, for free, but the best party I guess will be beneath Schlossplatz across from Palast der Republik, between Karl-Liebknechtstr. and Rathausstr: PALACE RESISTANCE vs. FREAK CAMP @ Katakomben Schlossfreiheit.

After a weekend full of culture (Bode Museum, Museum of Natural History, Alexanderplatz underground party) the finishing highlight was the Patentblau Stadtfest at Storkower Straße. I kind of was too tired to take a video but I can say that it was as good at last year when this video was taken by Monofourmie.
