On The Ground In Berlin, Part Two: Berghain and Panorama Bar

This is it, folks. The modern world's mecca of dance music: Berghain and Panorama Bar. Pretty much anyone in Berlin that I've talked to knows the place, whether or not they're involved in music and whether or not they've actually been inside. One reason might be that in a city with an unemployment rate that is almost twice the rest of the country's average, people see the club and the culture it represents as a force for tourism and therefore the economy. Or maybe they just hear the bass from their apartments.

No matter what, it's been high on my list of things to do since I got here (second only to the Boros Gallery), and so I've taken a couple occasions to check it out, the first about a month ago when Ame and Dixon played on a Sunday night, and the second when Omar S played this past Friday.

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

It sure does. And when this edition of Mister Saturday Night goes down, we'll have been without you for a month. Things won't have changed too much, though. Of course Eamon and Justin will have some new records, and we'll probably have some new lights to dazzle; but the vibe will be just the same–easy-going, no-nonsense fun from midnight until early in the morning, and lots of friendly faces to greet you from the door to the bar.

Eamon and Justin have been bringing it more than ever at the recent Mister Saturdays, dropping everything from sunshine disco to Nervous Acid; and our guest, Kristian from Ame, is no stranger to a blissed out dancefloor himself. The Innervisions boss is at the pinnacle of the good old fashioned house revival that's turned minimal techno on its head in Germany and the rest of Europe.

It's always a good night with the Mister, and even though we've had to switch venues, this one will be no exception. We can't wait to see you. The spot for this party is smaller than Market Hotel so please come early to guarantee entry.
