Friday 23.

Dyketopia

Mystery Location

Back again after it's booming Berlin debut—Parisian collective Dyketopia brings you a night of hard, doomy-gloomy techno, intoxicating performance, and—let's cut to the chase—hot dykes. Small DIY venue, with a house-party feel. Wouldn't miss Kiar Oscuro b2b Orion, babe. Good folks. Good music. Good times.

Nautilus

Kopi

A brand new lil party, raising money to support a queer, migrant WG fight eviction by their prick landlords. Kicking off with an evening cabaret featuring an ensemble of our favourite local kings, queens, quings and things. Followed by DJs playing late. Small DIY vibe. Important cause to support. Marine-themed looks are encouraged—ay capt'n.

Saturday 24.

Lunchbox Candy

KREUZWERK

It's big, chaotic, queer, feral, and probably you're reason for cancelling all Sunday plans. And Monday plans. The stars of Berlin's drag scene all in one place, all at one time, all over each other. A bacchic ritual of sorts. I don't need to tell you that the music at Lunchbox Candy will be glorious. But I will. It will be fucking glorious. They're also collecting some money for THE DOLLS—a weekly transfemme* community program at Casakua, so give if you can. Pro tip: one cannot overdress for Lunchbox—get dolled up.

Cuddles Vol. 9

Æden

Want to start booeying before midnight looms? Cuddles is kicking off early at 3 pm and running until whenever your knees give out in the early hours of Sunday morning. Expect a chill daytime vibe, ramping up to a roaring queer dance floor later on. Excited to catch new Cuddles res DJ AYA on decks, for she always brings out the dykes.

Garage Girls - 3rd Birthday

OHM

Celebrating three years of fine UK garage from FLINTA* artists—the Garage Girls are bringing you a lineup to kill. Joining their residents you have JAXX TMS, Hoemies mama Meg10, Skankstasy of Lecken acclaim, and all the way from the UK, Neighbours founder TASHA. For those who want more femme energy in UKG, this OHM the place to be Saturday night through till Sunday noon.
