Friday 21.

Paddy's Day

Crack Bellmer

On Ireland’s traditional national day, we present an atraditional Queer Secular Celebration of Irish Shenanigans and International Solidarity. An evening of: Irish and Palestinian dance, Küfa, a grand raffle featuring prizes from a range of your favourite local queer businesses, drag Performances, DJs playing the finest slutty queer techno until dawn, FLINTA* arm wrestling (because we don’t endorse bar-fighting anymore), craic, and potato painting. Proceeds will go towards the Palestine Childrens Relief Fund. Brits are encouraged to donate extra. You know why.

Dykes* Gone Wild

Schwuz

The old classic dyke night at Schwuz, this time featuring a disco/house floor takeover from our friends at the Trans Fag Dyke Collective. And for some entertainment on the side, there's the FLINTA* p**n cinema (as a refined cinephile, I can recommend).

Saturday 22.

Lunchbox Candy

Kreuzwerk

A big rabid night of highly-distilled queer joy. Disco house music that is just so good it's perverse. Techno that's transcendent. A touch of trance, garage, acid, all that good mushy stuff in between. Dress code: genderfuckery, drag, ketam*ne bombshell. Do not make Sunday plans, it's an intense one. Curious to see how Lunchbox takes to the new location of Kreuzwerk but regardless expect a tough door sitch.

FACILITATE

Zur Klappe

If you're looking for a space for FLINTA* folks in the DnB scene, FACILITATE has you covered. Joining FACILITATE residents on deck we have Femme Bass Mafia mentee Ubax and local favorite Hannaby. Find them in the cozy corridor of Zur Klappe this Saturday night.

Slaystans: NOWRUZ

Mystery Location

Slaystans: our local collective for the central asian queer community is putting on a Nowruz celebration in our cosy DIY party corner in NK. It's a new party on my radar but I forecast a blend of techno, electro, trance, EBM and experimental sounds, could be a vibe-and-a-half.

Renate invites BLVSH / XOXA / BRENN

Renate

BLVSH x XOXA x BRENN present a grand takeover at Renate; a night for FLINTA* and friends with some of our favorite folks on decks across three floors of one of Berlin's best known clubs. Vibe could depend a lot on how door policy runs on the night but for music, no doubt it'll be absolute fire.
