Weekend Party Picks: June 26 - 29

Look I know what you're thinking: "it's been a long week. I should be at home having a pants-less nap on my beanbag." But there's better places to be pantsless. Or pantsful for that matter. But come on, this is Berlin—live a little.

Thursday 26.

Rage'N'Bounce

Fitzroy

Start your weekend early with a night of hip-hop, rap, bass, punk, and live music, centering BI*PoC FLINTA* folks (though anyone with pent-up feminist rage and a hankering to shake some ass is warmly welcomed). Come out and mosh, let it all out, and hold each other a lil closer. Free entry for dolls if you message the organisers in good time.

Friday 27.

Queer Vinyl (Club) Night

Mystery Location NK

After a successful series of queer vinyl bar nights, they're scaling things up and turning up the tempo. No more lounging about with your Aperol spritz; it's time to dance to the fine vinyl stylings of a lineup of locals from Pillow Princess, Slime and PDA. In a cozy little DIY space, surrounded by the sweetest folks and some proper Italo-disco and electro, it’s sure to be a night you'll want to linger in long after dawn, and slump out with a smile on your face.

SKIN CONTACT x Ziber

OHM

Our local dark, queer party SKIN CONTACT teams up with London's Ziber, a fellow hedonistic queer and kinky party, for a special edition of their party at OHM. Expect an eclectic blend of techno, EBM, electro, and Italo-disco, topped off with what's sure to be an... intriguing performance by London's LOLITA. This one's the party of the week for the goth gays, though not for the faint of heart (and those who share my fear of gimp suits).

Others to the Baile

Crack Bellmer

Queer DIY party collective Others to the Front teams up with Brazilian collective Corpo de Baile for a special night at Crack Bellmer. The evening opens early with FLINTA Open Decks, showcasing some new talents, before CdB takes over the decks to bring the dancefloor a dose of Brazil—accompanied by a performance by São Paulo drag singer Ivana Wonder—before Others brings you a long night of the finest high-energy house music.

Saturday 28.

Sudar at your Service

Void Hall

At Your Service (formerly Coven) invites legendary Madrid/Barcelona migraqueer collective Sudar for a night of Latin house and the best kinds of chaos. Joining residents GIO and Feasting, we have Sweat's Dgeral, KINDA and mabel, leading a dancefloor of sheer queer communal joy—don't miss out on meeting some cuties.

Quouch Summer Slumber Day-Party

Renate Garden

The good folks of Quouch (a Berlin-based queer couch-surfing app) bring you the second edition of their Slumber Party. This special Summer day edition in the Renate garden brings you a full cast of drag artists and performers; Connor Lingus, Beyefendi, Zenergy, The Murk Prince, and Irn Bruce. That's not a show to miss folks — pull on your best PJs.

Kudur

Beate Uwe

A nostalgic night with QPOC party collective Kudur, bringing you right back to the Y2K with a performance by our own Beyefendi and genre-blending music with influences of the Middle East, Balkans, and the Mediterranean.
