Good lord, there's so much to do, so much to see, music to be heard, shots to be taken, mistakes to be made, apologies to be misspelled on the bus home... Tis the spice of life. @anarchist.cafe.berlin @curly_bar_berlin @silverfuture_bar @stueck_36 @xs.berlin.community @pepsibostonbarberlin @schwuz @aha_berlin @flinta_club_deck @queergirlsnight @stueckpopup @gaybar.kts

How shall a lonely little dyke escape the trials and tribulations of this big hetero world? Dance it off dear. Sleep is for the straights. Get out there you working class queero. Thursday 13th Friday 14th Saturday 15th Thursday 13. Weeeirdos Säule Start the weekend early babe, call in sick Friday, this is going to slap and, no, you won't "make it to bed by 3". Thursday parties always go hardest and Weeeirdos is no exception. Bringing in queer DJs from all corners of the world for a lineup of sheer fire. Weeeirdos brings in a really sweet crowd and with Bleach hosting, it's going to be an absolute riot. Friday 14. LE TEMPLE x VESELKA OXI This Friday night Ukrainian queer party crew VESELKA is teaming up with Le Temple, a Geneva group renowned for vogue, drag and gorgeous community nights. You can look forward to 3 floors; one for techno (provided by VESELKA), one for baile, G-House vibe, the garden; a team-up serving disco house. The crowd might lean a little more towards the cis-gay boys but VESELKA's a beautiful crew; there's no rainbow without blue and yellow folks. SABBATH Vol. 2 90 Mil A Summer Solstice celebration brought to you by Sabbath, an Eastern European diaspora collective, featuring a multidisciplinary program: DJs, live acts, drag, art and food. For those who fancy witchery, otherworldly drag (look our for Nyio Kunt), subversive music, a spirit of international solidarity, or just loved the Witcher games and thought; what if this... but a party. That's hot! Privatclub This one's a new discovery on my radar, but we love a soli-party (all profits go to the Schwulenberatung's Queer Refugee Zentrum) and they've got a largely FLINTA* lineup on deck (I think Nadine and DJ Kundigung could really bring some fun). I'm thinking real femme vibes, including drag performances by some of Berlin's finest queens. Privatclub is pretty cosy so don't expect a rager, but this could be a real cute little night folks. Saturday 15. exude ACUD A beautiful little DIY queer party centering and celebrating our trans community. Kicking off with a free open air market, with natty wine, treats, snacks and merch from local craftsters, before we move inside to let it loose. A night of trans joy. Brings out the most beautiful crowd, and they're raising funds to support a family in Gaza. Good cause, good folks, times. PUTIFEST 2024 AEDEN Puticlub's annual mini-festival is back, bringing you a full program filled with reggaeton, baile funk, guaracha, and pure queer Latinx joy. High vibes and full of surprises, alongside a fully stacked music ensemble. There will be 3 rooms and 9 DJs on the go, featuring Puticlub residents and all-star guests from around the world, not to mention Perreoke (Reggaeton Karaoke) and a lil mercadillo of local queers selling their wares. Delightful. Sunday 16. SWEAT - CONNECTION Lark This Sunday is a day for community, gender-messiness and dancefloor healing. It'll be cute, it'll be sweet, and maybe just a bit silly. I can't wait. You'll be getting some top quality prog house and tech house from the SWEAT crew, and one taking the stage we have local king, Connor Lingus, who will presumably be performing as a sexy cowboy, a sexy magician, a sexy plumber... something to that effect. It's going to be great.

This week's gay agenda: brought to you by Neukölln's most morbidly hungover lesbian. @silverfuture_bar @iqpberlin @grrrlnoisy @loge_kneipenkollektiv @tristezakiezkneipe @queerbedroompop @tipsy_bear_berlin @b_lage_nk @stueck_36 @stueckpopup

Your weekly club-rat roundup. Where are the vibes? Where are the dykes? Where are the queer shenanigans? Here my lovelies. Friday 7th Saturday 8th Friday 7. Dykes Gone Wild Schwuz Yes, Schwuz is ours for the night; the whole night this time. Sappho takes the helm and steers us into a night of pop and house and avoiding your ex. Go forth. Dress hot. Take shots. Be messy. Interzone Your favorite secret location For queer techno fans of a punk persuasion, this should be a night to remember. Absolutely stelar lineup: Nadine Talakovics, Tempus Fugit, and local queer party icon, Belen Zer. There's no high-fashion check on the door. You dress for you; cute, queer, slutty, sporty, slutty sporty or just comfy. No garde-robe this time, the weather's comfy, just don't bring the work laptop you'll be worried about stowing in a corner for 6 hours. It Saturday 8. Queer Garten: Sunset Sisters* AQUA-Höfe (by Ritter Butzke) A brand new edition of the classic Queer Garten FLINTA* night out One floor for house and techno, one for pop and hits, and a real nice outdoor chill area for a little chat or a little flirt. There should be something for everyone here, though I don't know the venue (looking forward to exploring) so PD review pending... HIGH Tech Raxxxhaus (Telegram for location info) Behold a dark, techno, genderfuck ritual, returning at a brand new venue. HIGH is radical, political, sexual and queer as all hell. Real blend of music genres, cute folks, and there's a FLINTA-to-the-front darkroom and dungeon to explore as you please. Check their hanky code if you wish to find what you might be cruising for. And the proceeds are going to /ETC - Eclectic Tech Carnival, an international feminist hackmeeting. ADIRA Drag Festival: A Celebration of Arab* Drag Gretchen A day-long celebration of Berlin's finest Arab* drag talents from across Berlin and around the world, with a full program of workshops, panel discussions, drag and music, performances and DJ sets. Presented by Berlin's premier Arab pop party ADIRA, this may well be the first-ever Arab* drag and pop music festival. They're killing it on accessibility. The lineup is, frankly, stunning. It might be too late to register for workshops but it isn't too late to grab a ticket, thank goodness. *Arab here denotes "diverse identities and ethnicities within Southwest Asia and North Africa." Imaginary Friend Fitzroy While not strictly a queer or FLINTA* party, Imaginary Friend is an event I hold close to heart, and can, by all means, be considered a community event. And frankly, I only seem to meet lesbians with exquisite music tasted at IM parties. The music will be beautiful, and the crowd will match that high-vibe standard. DJ Fart in the Club will kick it off strong, I promise. Come early if you want an IM entry treat. Stay late to dance in a beautiful sunrise over the Spree.

This week's reccs for refined FLINTA* folks. The gay bars beckon. @dick_and_danger_drag @silverfuture_bar @tristezakiezkneipe @silverfuture_bar @leslefam @sib.linx @tipsy_bear_berlin @fuzzy.amb @kwia.berlin @stueck_36 @black_and_brown_cabaret @freakings.drag @aha_berlin @stueckpopup

Let's welcome in pride season with a bang. Too bad this year it coincides with straight pride i.e. the EURO men's football championship. It's a bit rude of them not to choose a different month. Thursday 30th Friday 31th Saturday 1st Sunday 2nd Thursday 30. Double Trouble Zur Klappe Kicking the weekend off early, the Double Trouble crew is wreaking havoc in Klappe with a night of garage, dubstep, breaks, jungle, and all sorts of bass music in between. Should be a cute, cosy little community evening. House of Lunacy - Deep Space Renate Calling all space cadets. Berlin's finest kinky costume party is going intergalactic. Featuring some of Berlin's most brilliant queer performers and a seemingly endless labyrinth of dance floors, corridors, and cubby holes for a space cowboy to explore. Admittedly, Lunacy's not for everyone and it isn't overwhelmingly a FLINTA* crowd, but if you like the chaos, the hedonism, and silly sexy costumes Lunacy can be an unforgettable night. I just can't promise you won't see some weird tentacle stuff. Friday 31. Hoe__mies - 7 year Club Ost A night of bass, breaks, amapiano, dancehall, baile funk, reggaeton from an all-star lineup of women and queer DJs, including guests from Berlin's premier queer Arabic pop party ADIRA. The lineup is all-star; Meg10, Clementaum, xanax_attax b2b Kassandra... — fire all around. The vibes are femme, queer and colorful, with high-energy music and a crowd that's dressed to kill. Saturday 1. Panty SO36 A favorite FLINTA* and Friends party opens again this Saturday night, brought to you by local dykons Lolita Va Voom and Foxglove. For this edition's performances, they are accompanied by Seliquere (i.e. Connor Lingus of Magic Dyke acclaim) and Lawunda (show gal supreme). Come boogie for a bit of rock n’ roll, pop, hip hop, and disco, SO36 has that cute school hall vibe that has everyone dancing like teenagers. It will be cute as all hell. QUEEROCRACY ÆVE There ain't no party like a TIN* party 'cause a TIN* party... pushes you to expand your conception of gender identity and reminds you that queer partying is inherently political... and it don't stop. It's the closing party for queerokratia.de: the Federal Conference for Self-Determination for Queer and TIN*-politics. For TIN* folks and allies who stand for real self-determination, and who like some damn good music, this won't disappoint Gegen Glory RSO If you're looking for your big, loud, messy, gay crowd this is your destination. The lineup; goddamn beautiful: Samantha Togn, GIA, fka.m4a, Skankstasy, Amperia... I'm fangirling (in an nb way). Gegen tends to mostly draw in the cis-gay boys, but it is the kind of party where dykes and twinks flirt a lil', accidentally end up in a game of flirty chicken, things escalate, someone threatens to peg that twink in the name of feminism itself, he crumbles under their superior masculinity, and that dyke wears that victory like a badge of honor to this day... where was I? Oh yes, there's a FLINTA* darkroom too. Sunday 2. Body Language: Openair extravaganza Else Body Language has been on hiatus and boy have we missed it. It's a queer-focused, femmes to the front party with some real icons on deck. Body Language always brings this beautiful cute cheeky disco vibe, and a real sweet queer community space to match it. Let's welcome them back warmly.

Another week, another batch of vibes. Get out there, have a ball, maybe find a date so you don't have to pine your way through Pride season. @tristezakiezkneipe @cafecrallekollektiv @stueck_36 @pepsibostonbarberlin @dragstreet_boyz @schwuz @allesbien @dick_and_danger_drag @schwulesmuseum @swactiongroup_berlin @berlin_s_collective

Why, oh why are there so many great parties and so few hours in a night. I want to Groundhog Day this weekend. Friday 24th Saturday 25th Friday 24. Garage Girls 2nd Bday Bash Ohm A big birthday bash for the UK Garage lovers. Celebrating two years since DJ Northern and The Honey Tapes duo brought together Berlin's premier FLINTA* UKG party. Alongside the Garage Girls resident crew we've got Introspekt all the way from LA and Angel D'Lite to light up the night. The vibes; sublime, the beats; irrestable, the folks; hot. What more can say? Bender party VOL. III Lark A cosy queer night to let it all out with some genre-bending techno from local sweethearts: SPINO , Oneyra, Mr Willis, and Controle Delete. There will also be a drag show by the iconic Judy Ladivina and Sara Lu to warm up a night centred on hedonism, excess and challenging gender norms. Full-blown, extravagant drag will get you past the queue and in on just a donation fee, crossdressing puts you in the express lane, otherwise: dress or undress to impress. Saturday 25. FLINTA LATINA By Furiosa Lark Joyous days; Berlin's premier Latin pop, pop and reggaeton party is running their FLINTA* edition this Saturday night. If you've had enough of Berlin techno, and fancy a bit of Bad Bunny; a shake of Shakira; a twist of TINI to get into the Summer feeling, this is the night. GIRLS TOWN Gretchen Ah Girls Town, the feral FLINTA* night of your fever dreams. Boppy, poppy music, a pole performance, an inevitable unfolding of drama that results from cramming half the dykes in Berlin in a room and giving them tequila... IN A (MESSY) MOOD Zur Klappe A new FLINTA*-run collective, IN A MOOD is bringing a cosy night of techno, trance, breaks and more to the our favorite underground-cruising-toilet turned club. Don't miss out on HEDDA and DJ SOULSEEK on decks. This should be a night to dress hot and dance hard. HONKY DONK: ACAB Panke Feeling a little goofy? A tad bit silly? Need a bit of jest, highjinks, horseplay and silly queer clownery? I may have the party for you. Music vibes are hyperpop to hardcore and everything in between. There will be some freaky drag and chaotic perfomances. Dress code: hot clown. Yes, there shall be face-painting. Still pending a Party Dyke review but the vibes sound sublime.

Ever go to a straight bar (or 'a bar' as the plebs call it) and end up stuck talking to some bro in a polo shirt who can't spot your queer disdain at point-blank, and you have to stand there regretting every decision you've ever made that's led you to encounter this boat-shoe of a man? You don't have to live like this. There are queer shenanigans to be had. @konig_dragshow @tipsy_bear_berlin @tristezakiezkneipe @silverfuture_bar @k_fetisch @stueck_36 @crackbellmer @vaginimafia @kataya______ @its.aliska @baerbel_official @stueckpopup @curly_bar_berlin

Look I know what your thinking: "it's been a long week. I should be at home having a pants-less nap on my beanbag." But there's better places to be pantsless. Or pantsful for that matter. But come on, it's Berlin, live a little. Friday 17th Saturday 18th Friday 17. Veselka X Dissident RSO Folks, this might be the dance of the weekend. It's like I've died and gone to heaven and this lineup is the row of angels meeting me at the pearly gates. Audrey Danza, Carly Zeng, Cora, Marie Malarie, Newa... It's going to be fire. I am especially excited to see Newa back in Berlin. Dissident brings in a queer and very sweet crowd. This weekend they're teaming up with Ukrainian collective Veselka (there's no rainbow without yellow and blue) so it's also a fundraiser. Get out and support. Homodrop Berghain Panorama Bar Lighting up Pano this IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia—diversion: anyone else hate the word Idaho being in that?), we have Homodrop dropping the grooviest electro, acid, and house music. After 10 years of queer parties, emphasizing community and solidarity, this Panorama Bar takeover should be a night to look forward to. MAZE on decks might be one to look out for. Taranau Secret Location (Check Telegram) From the femmes and the thems, here comes a big night of hard techno, hardgroove, rave and acid. This is a new one on my radar, but I have very high hopes. In a low-key locale, a high energy intimate kind of night is the vibe I foresee. Riot Kitchen Secret Location A queer party Riot originating in the wake of Orlando massacre, RIOT symbolizes resistance against intolerance. Because queer existance is resistance and queer parties; all the more so. From a small party by Brazilian expats, RIOT endured through the pandemic and now collaborates with Moscow collective Popoff Kitchen in support of queer artists fleeing persecution in Russia and promoting a safe environment for the queer community in Berlin. Another new party on my books, but we have Shankstasy (of llecken acclaim) playing, and they don't disappoint. Saturday 18. Magic Dyke* 2nd Dyke*iversary Säälchen Holzmarktstraße 25 A strip show that asks: what if Magic Mike was a hot dyke* rather than a dude-bro who looks like a turnip? And yes, I also pretended to be into him in high school—but speaking of teenage preoccupations: the rugby team (the queer rugby team); the Bruisers are collaborating. On what? I don't know. I just know it's time to enter the scrum to find a ticket. Although it might be for the best if I lose given that my obsession with guest/drag star Majic Dyke could probably get me put on a list. It'll be a hell of a show and when it's over we have an after-party featuring 3 fab DJs and the legendary Pillow Palace... SLIME Secret Location It is time for Slime, and I am always looking forward to it because this is the sweetest wee party in town. Residents Chrispy, DJ BONEY S and zikade will be joined by Ida Bux and AKA Thesaur, and accompanied by our beloved drag host Raki Solale, for a night to delight. I have said it once and I'll say it again; it's a party where each of us can feel safe and seen. There's a lot of love going into this one. Golosa . eXtraVaGanZa OXI Last but not least, we have Golosa, now bringing a big night to the floors of OXI. Big range of genres; house, techno, trance... you want it you, got it. Golosa never fails on delivering some top-sounds for queer ears of all tastes, but keep 'em peeled for ELECTROSEXUAL and Hanaby, my little birds tell me good things.

Having miraculously awoken from a Sterni-induced coma I deliver unto thee a miraculous revelation. Rejoice, for the vibes are upon us. @bragkultur @silverfuture_bar @tristezakiezkneipe @stueck_36 @epiphany.records @oona.bar @refugeworldwide @crackbellmer @stueck_36 @stueckpopup @konig_dragshow @tipsy_bear_berlin

Well I hope you've had a restful weekend because the next week is a bloody marathon. No rest. No sleep.
