My dears, my darlings: what a weekend awaits you. Seize the day—three days consecutively. What a time to be a dyke in Berlin.
Friday 29.
LECKEN: Reloaded
Kreuzwerk
This Friday the Lecken team makes their long-awaited return from sabbatical, and they're bringing their renaissant spirit of queer community care and pleasure activism to a new home at Kreuzwerk. The lineup is a godsend, with some of our favourites lighting up the night like Skankstasy, Dirty Daddy Don, Killa, and Rafush. Those long on the Berlin scene know that Lecken parties are always more than a good night in da club but infused with philosophical interest in queer rave culture. Come with an open mind to their garden of hedonistic abandon and self-discovery, for a profound and sexy night.
Les Libertines Party
Mystery Location
Meanwhile, in a mysterious location in west Berlin, the Libertines are teaming up with New York's XOXA for an intimate FLINTA* affair. Kicking off with an open decks, featuring some fond and familiar faces. From 10pm there will be an afterparty curated by XOXA brings you uplifting house, bumping acid, groovy techno & electro @panooc, @zikade.x & @ka_is_playin. And of course, Les Libertines usual play and indulgence will be turned up to ten. DM them for further info.
Saturday 30.
SLIT
Lab.oratory
Round II of the grand FLINTA* Lab takeover, after the historic success of Round I. Now that we're all familiar with the cosy, kinky, knooks and crannies—it's time to get down to business. In case anyone isn't in the know—this is not simply a sex-positive party, this is a sex party. That being said, there's a perfect DJ lineup for the event—Bad Puppy, DJ Aya, and Cora on decks—dykonic. Pro tip: come and queue early or don't expect to get in. Doors close for good at midnight, but if it's anything like last time, it will be full well before that.
Cuddles x Vitamina
OXI
Looking for a big, flamboyant queer dance party this Saturday? Head for OXI. Cuddles teams up with Italian collective Vitamina. Beautiful music: for that soaring, sexy house you can't miss it, not to mention all the beats, breaks, trance and house you're heart desires. Angel D'lite, 131bpm, Aaron Blau—bless'em: they'll cook you up something special. After last edition of Cuddles, I've got high expectations for some incredible and some incredible music and a real sweet crowd.
Sunday 1.
Royal Dissidents: Bow Down and Break Free
Fitroy
Boy, have I got a Sunday boogie for you. Two top-tier queer parties in one—Royal Highness and Dissident. The lineup is truly immaculate: Carly Zeng, Cryptofauna, DJ KILLING b2b GIA, Perra Inmunda...I'm truly fangirling rn. Genre mix; kinda experimental, kind of bumping, kind of groovin'. Get yourself a good brunch/pres. You're going to need the energy.
