Friday 4.

SWEAT

KREUZWERK

Calling all dykes, tr4nnies, f4gs, and gender deviants of good taste —here we have a night of the most excellent house music from a queer collective with a trans agenda. On the main Sweat floor: James Lotion b2b SXCL, Gavnlig, and Sanaz. In the Puddle (darkroom) floor Dgeral and Broccoli will be keeping things steamy. And as a cherry on top, we have a performance by our local legend Ryder Dyke.

Cuddles: VIRGO SEASON

ÆDEN

Cuddles is back at Æden for a 2-floor, 12-hour blowout to bring their red-hot Summer to a close. A big queer party that never fails to deliver on packed, sweaty community dancefloors and endless yapping in the Æden garden. This is what Berlin summers are made of.

Honky Donk: Back to (clown) School [Fully-masked]

Panke

Your local chaotic queer clown party returns for a special all-masked edition — yes, ffp2-masks the boots house down. With clowning, a market, DJs, and more surprises than you can pull out of a clowncar.

Saturday 5.

Else x Hoe__mies

Else

Your local favorite clubby, bassy, ass-drop, femmetop party Hoe_mies takes over Else for a day-into-night extravaganza. Joining Hoe_mies mama Meg10 on decks, we've got a star-studded lineup (Hoe_mies never deliver less). I'd expect a mixed crowd, but Hoe_mies is all about putting QTIBIPOC, women, and femmes to the front.

CNTCORE

Phantom Bar

CNTCORE celebrates one year of gorgeous queer dancefloors. Expect a small party that packs a hell of a punch. DJ handbag invites only the most excellent purveyors of house and techno, as well as the one and only Eros in Furs for a performance to thrill and titillate.

Sunday 6.

SEXY NANA Pool Party

Cherry on Top, Ganghoferstr 10

Here's one for the books — a SLINTA* BIPoC rooftop pool party with a drop-dead lineup brought to you by local collectives L-Rush and Hooha, and Parisian pals Le Bunker. For a day party spilling at the brim with jersey club, reggaeton, baile funk, afrobeat, and all the ass-drop sounds you can ask for. Served to you hot by Sherryaeri, Trigger T, STARR, maríajosé and Watrfall. And were that not enough, you can expect a special performance from dancer Starr that will have you needing a dip to cool off.
