Going to Germany!

Looks Like I'm making a Quick trip to Germany later this month. I'll be In Munich for two days, Liepzig for one day (gaming industry show), and then to Berlin for a SAT night.

Can anyone give me some ideas for Record stores, and Clubs I should check out??

Never been to Germany, I'm fucking stoked!

Thanks!

go to tresor in berlin. live my dream!
have fun though and watch out for your laptop if you bring it. the vice president of my company got his nicked there the other week.

Cool thanks Ian!
I was considering Tresor.

Yeah I'm taking the Mac, but if someone tries to take it, they will get DAS BOOT, and I'm not talkiing about a boat.

I'm sure it will be cool, I'm just stoked to pick up some records, and check the scene.

you can visit the original BOOT in munich i guess...

[jukka]

which weekend are you going to be in berlin ?
the tresor line up isn't good this month.
go check at www.tresorberlin.de
as for record stores go and have a look at angry plastics (for the wilder stuff) and hardwax.

munich, recordshopwise:

ECHT OPTIMAL SCHALLPLATTEN GMBH
KOLOSSEUMSTR. 6

disko b / gigolo homebase, nice backstock (got my noodles: death of cool pt.1 there , should have a good amount of hiphop and reggae nowadays as well... good shop, just don't fuck with the grey-haird greek guy, don't even look at him.

Thanks for the Heads Up! I appreciate it

It looks like i will get to Germany on the 17th and leave on the 22nd. Very short trip, but I'm going to make the most of it.

Jukka, yeah the tresor lineup looks a bit weak on the day i'm going to be there, any alternatives??

Thanks guys!

oh that's the type of record shop i like... a mad old greek bavarian selling 80s analogue retro? no thanks.

tresor's got this newcomer thingy every saturday now, so not really interesting stuff going on. I'll do an oldschool house set upstairs at globus on the 21st. I can put you on the guestlist if you wanted to check out the club anyway. let me know...

what else? 'maria am ufer' is quite a cool club. I think there's some shitkatapult stuff going on that weekend. check their program here: http://www.clubmaria.de

Hardwax was great, i reccommend checking that out.
i remember there being a cool little bar on Lychenerstrasee\Lettestrasse that had white curtains in the window and a mounted deer head on the wall. anyone know of this place? really good beer, i remember.
if you take the underground U2 line to Pankow and get off at Eberswalderstrasse, its near there, i believe.

just found it

when i went it had just opened and there was video being projected on a wall and mellow techno playing in the background.

this place was good for a drink too

yeah lester's a cool dude - me and the greek guy (owner of optimal afaik) go way back, the first time I was at optimal some time in the late nineties he shouted at me to listen to the records more slowly, I wouldn't be able to pick out any quality choons anyhow and I was wearing down the grooves hahaha

the second time I made the major mistake of asking if I could pay with travellers cheques, didn't ask him directly, mind you, but the salesperson I asked had him come over, and he said it's ok. I came back two days later, and all hell broke loose hehe. turns out they had to pay a fee at their bank for turning in the cheque, I never heard the end of it.

best was a friend of mine who was asking for some hiphop tips, the el greko just turned around and walked away!

Clubs to check out (their websites give directions and a listing of what's on):

Watergate (really big club, two floors, I saw Hawtin and Vilallobos
here, and also DJ Hell and loads of Gigolo records people some other
night)
http://www.water-gate.de/program/index.html

Tresor (surprisingly dingy basement club, but it's pretty history in
the techno world)
http://www.tresorberlin.de/

Ms Edelweiss (this is actually a barge, it's small but such a cool
venue)
http://www.edelweissberlin.de/

Club Maria (across the river from the Ms Edelweiss, nice dirty warehouse feel)
http://www.clubmaria.de/

As for record shops, I actually never made it to any record shops
while I was over there as I was always out drinking or something.
But I wanted to go to Hard Wax (http://www.hardwax.com/) because
apparently it's really good. Pete from Scion works there!

Thanks All, I now have a ton of things to do, but My time is limmited so hopefuly I can get to some of these. I will make sure to stay away from all GREEKS period I figure that way i should be covered.

@ Pille, Thanks For the kind wishes, I'm fuckin excited.

@ Mr Chombee Thanks for the offer, actually its looking like Friday night is the night that I'm in Berlin, Sat i have to head back to Munich. Actually that would have been really cool to come and check out someone from the board

I wish i had more time, because it seems I'm going to be on the train alot going back and forth. But at least i get to see different places even if its out of the train.

Thanks to everyone for posting the cool spots, I'll take some photos and Update this after I get back.

Cheers!

Hey Curtis Blow is at the Watergate on the 20th! I think thats where I'll be.
How crazy that i have to be in germany to see Curtis. Thanks Splitrmx
