The wonderful Aaliyah
If you think it is too cold, nothing exciting happens anyway, well, so so wrong! There is a lot going on and you can definetely forget about staying home, on your nasty old sofa. Feed the cat, walk the dog and then dive into a murderous weekend. Parties after the jump:
Friday
Into the Galaxy party at Festsaal Kreuzberg presented by Coop, the guy who seems to be involved almost everywhere. Live act action with Midnight Juggernauts and Parus and dj music by Munic oldie Hell, bulgarian disco it-boy Emil as well as Franz Underwear and the A-Team!
Candy Party at Tube Station with San Gabriel (who is also going to play at Last Days of Aaliyah on saturday night), Pase Rock from L.A. and B-Star and a real candy bar. Watch your teeth, don’t have too much of the candy, I mean the sweets, not the girls, you pervvy!
Saturday
Last Days of Aaliyah at Backyard ( U Prinzenstraße, next to the Prinzenbad!). The guys and girls behind the Last Days parties skipped a month but are now getting back with a wonderful theme, Aaliyah! This icon of R&B music, who died in a plane crash is more than worth remembering. R&B, Indie-Rock, Hip Hop, Dub Step, electronic, 80&90s by the djs who are San Gabriel, founder of HipHopDon’t Stop, a local hero dj who played almost everywhere, from Scala to Cookies to Tape and overseas.
Furthermore indie-and-80s-specialist-and-girl-magnet Engtanzkavalier who will make all those shake their assets who are not so much into R&B but know how to wave and rock
and there is DT 64 who used to work at the legendary Berlin radio station and who is playing Dubstep as superb as he plays crazy 90s dance sounds.
If you can, stay until the end, it became a tradition to have an open dancefloor for the toughest wasted people, meaning you can wish your favourite songs!
Coop presents an art night at the Berlinische Galerie, Alte Jakobstr. Yeah, finally something that can be done before going to the clubs. Educate yourself in arts and have some music as well with Un homme et une femme, Okay&Okay, Bonnie and Salto Mortale as well as live act Yelle!
Get there early, it closes at 2 am!
If you are up to some massive dance beats you shouldn’t miss Natalia Kills and the awesome Kelis at the Levi’s Curve Attack at Maria Club!
Furthermore Exploited at The Villa with Shir Khan and Mowgli.
