Ich bin eine long arse techno rave up, ja?

Back from a mini tour of Berlin/Koln - the spiritual homes of techno, relentless beats, thumping four-four rhythms, all that bollocks. Tons of graffiti n street-arts. Telling you, there's not an exposed brick untouched by spray paint - and it's proper good n all.

But forget the graf for a sec, the highlight for me was Bar 25 in Berlin. A club with two main rooms, one much more techy than the other. There's open-air bars, a sand pit, a ropeswing, and just for good measure, a river. You heard right - a RIVER! Reminded me of the Shangri-la area at Glastonbury (remember that time MHR played Glastonbury?)

Anyway, doorstaff are assholes, so, look good n be cool. I don't mean in a Fonzie type way. I mean, relax dude, be cool, ya get me? - or you ain't coming in.

Bar 25's very lovely MySpace

Place is well worth hitting up though. Opens on Thursday evening and the party don't stop till some time Monday. Awesome. Get ready for a long arse techno party and very little sleep.
