Tartelet's main geezer sheds a knowing light on the weekend in Berlin. If you like clubbing and you're in Berlin from Thursday - Sunday, this is the one blog post you must read right this minute. Take it away, Emil.
Snow, ice and cool winds from the heart of Siberia has turned the city of Berlin into something out of a Christmas fairytale. Luckily the upcoming weekend is big and beautiful in all the right places. Starting Thursday with two proper Berlin get downs, namely “Box Aus Holz” label night at Freudenzimmer & Kim Brown record release party at Farbfernseher.
Thursday

Kim Brown record release
My tall handsome friends Julian & Ji-Hun aka Kim Brown celebrate the release of their new record Thursday night at Farbfernseher. Farbfernseher is a romantic little club on Skalitzer strasse, one of my favourite hang outs and a great place to hook up.. Knowing the two conquistadors, I’m sure this night will have a heavy Lady and The Vagabond vibe.
Line-up:
Kim Brown
(Just Another Beat, Rimini)

The Big Boman Show
My favorite Swedish maracas player, Axel Boman aka Acid Woman, takes over Horst Friday night alongside Massimiliano Pagliara and a few other people with unpronounceable names. Axel is the biggest Swedish export since ABBA and Astrid Lingren and is known for his exotic DJ performances. Not to be missed!!

Saturday
Tartelet &The Gym Label Nacht – Uffe EP release party
Saturday we have our monthly label night at Farbfernseher, honouring the release of Uffe’s “Stræss” EP. These nights are usually packed to the brim and our last party was closed by Berlin’s finest because it went out of hand (first time in Farbfernseher history). Hopefully this time will be no different.
