Yorkschlossen

There’s no shortage of jazz in Berlin. Here’s our guide to the city’s many jazz clubs. For those who are willing to pocket the pills and put down the gear – at least momentarily – it’s obvious that Berlin is more than just techno, quasi art projects, and war memorials – there’s jazz, too.

Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

by
Taco13

I didn’t expect Paradiso at all. When invitations were extended I thought we’d be visiting just another restaurant, the kind with space for 100 and scores of stressed-out waiters. Instead, we’re brought to the tiny shop front of a building on Oppelner Strasse, a barebones room that at first glance is easy to miss. This … Read more Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Nakhane’s “You Will Not Die” Lends Fashion To Trauma

by
Nakhane 26 crop

As a multidisciplinary artist, it’s hard to peg Nakhane to one artform. We met Nakhane for the first time last year when he and director John Trengrove brought their film The Wound, which Nakhane starred in and which was short-listed for an Oscar nomination, to Berlinale. Since then Nakhane has taken a break from acting … Read more Nakhane’s “You Will Not Die” Lends Fashion To Trauma

Prenzlauer Berg is dead. Its coup de grâce was the loud and ignoble announcement of Bassy Club’s imminent closure. Bassy Club, a bastion of retro rock ‘n’ roll and a throwback to ’90s Berliner counterculture, is closing this month. Tired and beaten, Bassy follows the likes of White Trash Fast Food and Knaack club, hounded … Read more 13 Night Spots In Prenzlauer Berg That Are Still Alive

Adam Fletcher On “How To Be German: Part Two”: This Time, Even More German

by
BERLIN LOVES YOU Adam Fletcher Featured

Adam Fletcher isn’t German. But his time in Leipzig and Berlin–two cheap cities that allow mad exploration into this loved, but very–erm–“different” culture, perhaps makes him an expert in How To Be German. Which is why he wrote not one, but two books on the topic. And now, with the introduction of How To Be German PART … Read more Adam Fletcher On “How To Be German: Part Two”: This Time, Even More German

Raven’s Boylesque Is Sexy And Horrific, And Dammit, We Need It

by
BERLINLOVESYOU_Raven_5

The Dark Prince of Burlesque, Raven, is the Hyde to normality’s Jekyll; that edgy personality that morphs, horrifically, when the clock-strikes, shelling off convention like snakeskin. A dark, made-of-nightmare personality spikes, slicing that fine line between sexuality and terror—making steady eye contact with this unrivaled concentration, this knowledge that yes: this far outside the box, … Read more Raven’s Boylesque Is Sexy And Horrific, And Dammit, We Need It

by
aida

Street artist Alaniz swaps his trademark grand murals and roller bombing for “La Calle es un Espejo,” or “The street is a mirror”—a series of rather intimate oil portraits. This event, his first solo forage into the Berlin art scene at OPEN WALLS Gallery, begins September 10. And this transition from grand walls to up-close-and-personal seems … Read more Street Artist ALANIZ Premieres “La Calle Es Un Espejo” at OPEN WALLS Gallery
