When the rumour was spread in 2010 that the Bar 25 would close down for good, nobody really believed it. For all the previous years, people have been celebrating a closing party, but it was never really ending. In the next spring, the club would always open its doors again.
Things finally changed. At the open air party on October 31 on the area of what used to be the Bar 25 everybody realized, that this was the final end. Everything had been torn down: the bar, the restaurant, the circus and everything else. Not everyone had regrets about that. The Bar 25 was famous for its strict bouncers, and the hype about the club seemed more and more irritating to some of its regular guests.
Anyhow: if you are now watching the music video of Dirty Doering’s I would, you once again get the feeling of what was so extraordinary and wonderful about this place. And it is not only the pictures, it is the music in and of itself that evoke the unique atmosphere. There is maybe no other track that is deeply connected to the summer of 2010 at Bar 25. But seriously, there is no reason to get sentimental here, as the successor of the club is going to open in the middle of May…
It is quite likely that Dirty Doering will take part in that as well. Generally, his DJ sets are among the best you can experience in the Berlin night life. We talked to him about music by Althea and Donna, Nancy Sinatra, The Shins and Andhim. And of course there is the “I would” video. More after the jump.
Althea and Donna – Uptown Top Ranking
Summer feelings. I grew up with this song. It so great. Every time I hear it, it makes me smile. This song never gets boring, and I need a rolled cigarette right now!!!!
Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood – Summer Wine
Hammer Nummer. Muss ich sofort an die Bar 25 denken. Lief oft im Circus oder in den legendären 25h-Mixes von Acid Pauli. Auch hier geht für mich immer die Sonne auf, wenn ich es höre.
The Shins – Turn On Me
Ist nicht mein Song. Aber geile Badehose hat der Pooltyp an. Würde sagen, so sieht es aus, wenn wir unsere Rente im Rave-Altenheim genießen. Natürlich da, wo es warm ist, mit Pool und allem, was man so zum Raven braucht. Ich freu mich drauf!!!
Andhim – Patty Sue (Super Flu’s Suncream rmx)
Nice dance track. Das ganze Release ist cool. Und auch Andhim und Super Flu find isch top. Es fühlt sich auch sommerlich an, aber eher for the dance floor. Muss ick mal wieder spielen.
Dirty Doering – I Would
Absoluter Sommer-Track mit vielen emotionalen Bildern. Es war mit die schönste Zeit meines Lebens!!!! Damit meine ich nicht unbedingt den Dance floor Montag Mittach, sondern die ganze Institution Bar 25 mit all ihren unglaublich schönen Plätzen: Backstage, Hostel, Pool, Sauna, Johannesburg, Circus, Beichtstuhl, Restaurant usw. Wovon wir einige in dem Video sehen. Ick schau mir das Video immer noch gerne an!!!! Big thanks to Kai Kurve.
