Friday 14.

Cuddles

Æden

My big queer rager of choice this weekend; a twelve-hour marathon of the finest queer rave revelry. Cuddles has been killing it this year and with a lineup like this — Jennifer Loveless, Anastasia Kristensen, Aaron Blau b2b Marie Malarie... — it's just uphill from here.

Adira Drag Festival

Festsaal Kreuzberg

Adira Festival is back again, an Arab* drag and music spectacular taking over Festsaal Kreuzberg this Friday (with a workshop program on Wednesday and Thursday evening). This year's theme: Queer Arab Futurism; "speculative visions of erased histories, reclaimed mythologies, and radical fantasies". Panels tributes, and performances through the evening and dancing until dawn. Stellar.

Saturday 15.

SWEAT WITH US

Zur Klappe

SWEAT, our local cute-as-boots trans party collective, teams up with their Parisian sibling, WITH US in the cosy little toilet club of Zur Klappe. This big night of B2Bs, we set aside our divisions from the snooty Parisians, for some bouncy house, techno and proggy grooves — with a grand performance by local drag thing; Fleshpiece.

Cyberia

Panke

For their first all night extraordinaire: Cyberia brings a night for the gender anarchists; for the trans folks who crave some fast, industrial, and hardcore sounds, and dissidents who roll with them. Small venue; perfect for a chaotic ritual boogey.

Interzone

Mystery Location

A queer anticapitalist techno party at our favorite little Neukölln dance With a good ol'-fashioned DIY feel and a hell of a community behind it, you can hardly do better than Interzone.

Dissident

OHM

Oh my Dissident never fails to stack up a DJ roster to knock one's socks clean off. Start to finish, a night of trance, techno, house, and more. Pack some sturdy shoes my guys. Crowd should be quite mixed, but the queer rave crew will be out in grande affair.
