These Berlin Clubs Re-Opened from Lockdown with New Concepts

Our fingers are itching. After months of staring at the woodchip wallpaper of our Berlin flats, we have “BOCK” as we like to say in German (which means to be very much in the mood for something). Bock, to go out again. Bock to sway to smooth electronic or raging techno beats while moving our bodies, sipping on a cold beer. Normally the Berlin crowd is used to completely different circumstances at the start of the summer party season when the painful question is, what party to attend, instead of none at all. 

This year everything is different. Or least we thought so. After Berlin’s motivated party crowd heavy heartedly accepted the no-clubbing-corona-rules for 2020, there now appears to be hope. Little by little the bigger clubs with an outside area are opening their gardens! At first only for gastronomy purposes with strict “no dancing” rules, but that’s enough to give our grieving party community a glimmer of hope.

Note: Please consult the corresponding social media pages of each club for any changes in regards to their opening times. These might change according to the weather and the current situation.

Interview: Listening to music with Mate

Mate played one of his first public gigs as a DJ at the legendary Bar 25, since than he has been performing in various clubs, mainly in Berlin, at open airs and festivals like Plötzlich am Bodden. Additionally, he is a resident at Rummels Bucht where he plays on a regular basis.

“My music isn’t meant to make people think, it’s meant to make them dance,” says Mate. In our interview, we have done some thinking as well, not about his music, but about songs by Michael Jackson, Die Ärzte, The Kills, Pachanga Boys and Freundeskreis. More after the jump.
