A gorgeous, gorgeous weekend beckons. We've got techno, clownery, reggaeton, homosexual shenanigans from the whole world over — sleep is for the straights.
Friday 15.
Creature Kin for Monstrous Times
Acud macht Neu
This Friday night the newly fledged Creature Kin collective brings you a drag cabaret show and party to toast the opening of Avan Aventura's exhibition exploring the monstrous, alien, and inhuman as represented and performed in Berlin’s drag scene. After their cast of creatures, weirdos, and associated critters have thoroughly bemused you, the good folks of Honky Donk cohost the afterparty. The Donk crew's silly wee clown parties have been sorely missed by the hyperpop, clowncore girlypops, trust me — as always dress to impress, distress, or confuse.
at your SERVICE - All Night Long
arkaoda
Back in Neukölln, the At your Service (formerly Coven) crew set to deliver a whole long night of finest latinx house music you're likely to find. While I can't say I'm familiar with the venue, it's a smaller spot, cosy. But I trust these folks will not disappoint. If you caught their big queer May 1st rave, you won't need more convincing.
Saturday 16.

Zur Klappe
Another night of juicy techno by femmes and thems: FLINTA* collective Taranau brings in some familiar local faces to the decks, alongside. esteemed guest olesia (@_olesia.___) of London’s FLINTA* label and party Technomate (@tm8.club). Join the dykiest dancefloor of the weekend in the cosy Keller of a club where you can end the night having met half the club, and crawl up to the surface a happy little club-goblin.
