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.

They did it again! They entered the abandoned parts of the Berlin Alexanderplatz undercrossing, put some music in and a bar and ready is the party. Hundreds danced happily.

This is the first of a series of three films I shot this weekend while I had my aunt visiting. Nice mix of underground and overground culture.

Check out some art parties tonight, Illustrative at ZMF and Total Art Space in Neukölln. Moreover Alexanderplatz’ underground gets invaded again by some techhouse crew (Hunee et al, starts at 22pm).

Tomorrow, saturday, there will be some nice festival at Kiki Blofeld (e.g. with Puppetmastaz) and on sunday big Patentblau Open Air again. Partying in dim light under a metal skeleton, perfect after hour feel, open air, from 2 am to 10 pm, S Bahnhof Storkower Straße.

Looking for Karneval der Verpeilten 2008?

Picture by Vogel X on VA3 (Great party pictures!)One of the funniest and most-awaited outdoor events in Berlin takes place this sunday: The Karneval der Verpeilten. Situated in Prenzlauer Berg, in the Ernst Thälmann Park, next to an old planetarium.

Justine Electra, Matt John, Liebe ist cool, Oliver Koletzki and many others. 12am to 22pm, it’s free. Be responsible and take away your litter! The weather will not be great, I guess, but dry. See you there!

Update: Schön war’s, nette Fotos gibt es zum Beispiel hier.

Nochn Update: Im taz-Blog hat man genau hingeschaut und alles prima beschrieben.

Yo. I’ll be in Göttingen to celebrate being out of school for ten years now. I bet, I’ll meet a lot of mums and dads and entrepreneurs and people who made a f** career. ‘s going to be funny “Abi 97, schalalala!”.
You, who stay in Berlin, have a look at Fuckparade and the corresponding parties, willya.

I am back from Budapest where I spent five days to see Sziget festival. And I am still pretty mind-blown by the incredible dimensions of this bastard of a festival. Situated on an island (“sziget” means island) the visitors find over 20 stages and countless attractions, shops, food spaces, recreational areas, fairs and secret plazes – it takes more than an hour to take the whole tour around the island. And the funniest thing is: People camp everywhere. It’s not like a festival with camping. It’s like camping with a festival.

The festival goes on for a week and there are people who actually spend almost all their time there. But the festival wristbands reveal many festival visitors also in parks, museums or in Budapest’s hot springs. All Budapest seems to be Sziget festival during these days, providing an impressive backdrop of art-nouveau, socialist and post-socialist architecture.

There is a nice blog, updated daily by Zeit magazine (in German) about Sziget, which I recommend, so I won’t be writing much here (to sum it up: We had good weather and bad, healthy food and greasy, good music and not so good.. ), just provide you with a short movie I cut together and some foto impressions. Continue >>

I was a bit unlucky on Berlin festival, cause I had a little accident with my bike (looking forward to having the scars) and thus missed the best parts of the festival: friday night at Tape and saturday afternoon with Go!team, Peaches and Uffie. Friday afternoon and saturday night, while I attended, seemed to be a constant going away from some place rather than a coming to. Continue >>

Two nice events tonight I would like to recommend: Delfonic hosts a listening session of the coming Eva Be record: „Moving Without Traveling“ (I wonder if the Jamiroquai association was on purpose) soon out on Sonar Kollektiv in his cosy record store Oye Records. Certainly, there will be a nice crowd and atmosphere. Weather is good so you can stand around on Oderberger Straße, drink beer, listen to music and talk about – hey, whatever you want to talk about!

The other is Sick Sinus playing at Mädcheninternat, a former Kindergarten right where Deep club used to be. Being around 20:00h at either place would be a good choice. Plus: you’ll get home at a civil time.

Tomchak, Shir Khan and Ben MonoI already wrote about the week-end roof and that it’s recommended to come early (opens at 7pm, during the week they don’t charge until 10pm or so, during the week-end you’ll be leaving 5€) and bring a jacket. The view is amazing and if you’re lucky, the rest of the people, too.

This is the case when Best Works, Sonar Kollektiv’s (amongst other artists, e.g. Fat Freddys Drop) booking and event agency host their Sundowner Parties – on the roof. I was there last time (one week ago) to see Shir Khan, Ben Mono and Tomchak and had a jolly good time. See some more pictures!
Update: See even more pictures thanks to Ben Mono who send them to me! Continue >>

Picture by LotteLenyaThis is one of the articles I have been working on far too long. Melt’s been over for more than a week but I just had to let this monster out finally. Read about the best and the worst concerts, see the best videos, find the funniest reviews on the net and find out what Goldie did when his records got transported to London instead of Melt festival.

It’s interesting: Two years ago, I was one of a few people who wrote about the Melt! festival and one a few people who posted their festival pictures on Flickr. YouTube didn’t exist back then. Last year, there were tons of pictures and videos. And this year, there are even many, many blog posts about this amazing festival on an extraordinary site, not to forget the Melt-forum which has an impressive way of self organization – one half of the people bitches about prices, the growing size, quality of the music and the other half defends their favorite festival with enthusiasm. So I watched many many videos on YouTube, scanned Flickr and the blogosphere just to get you the best and most relevant material on this year’s issue of one of the greatest festivals on the planet.
