Berlin Berlin is one of Egg Ldn’s flagship nights, blurring the boundaries of nightlife to create a party playground where anything goes. Blending the look and laissez faire attitude of 1920’s Berlin TanzBars with a contemporary underground musical soundtrack, BB distills the true essence of the city’s unique and experimental fun party vibe here in London at one of its most forward thinking club settings, Egg Ldn.
Following on from where Berlin Berlin’s original artist Johnny Woo left off to push the boundaries in Egg’s Boxing Ring stage are 5 other leading lights of London’s extraordinary cabaret scene including fetish raunch star, Cynth Icorn; the incredible lady in red, Marnie Scarlet; the mysterious minx, Beatrix Carlotta; the exotic, Joanna Glitz and ‘International geisha of mystery’, Akimbo Moonchild.
Encouraging clubbing madness and off-the-cuff fun with their risqué performances and impromptu happenings with a twist that take place in the ring throughout the night, clubbers can really let loose at this explosive first Berlin Berlin party of the New Year.
The esoteric, near-the-knuckle Kuntskammer troupe who take over the Apothecary (Egg’s club within a club) space for their wild cabaret performances inspired by 1920’s Berlin.
Creating waves with their cutting edge tech releases, Berlin’s Save Us Records make their Egg Ldn debut introducing Italian duo, Cosmic Cowboys whose ‘Enlight EP’ on Endless has notched up solid support alongside this year’s ‘Tell Me How’, ‘Perseus’ and ‘Symphony Of My Life’ tracks.
Keeping things deep n’ moody with an analog jackin edge, Kris Davis delivers emotional, rough-around-the-edges sets and is a true party instigator on the decks if tracks like ‘In The Clearing’, ‘Akaria’ and ‘Kafka’ are anything to go by.
Berlin-based Andrea Ljekaj has racked up strong releases on Get Physical Music and Save Us, with his recent ‘Above Humans’ chalking up serious A list support including Richie Hawtin, Maceo Plex, Marco Carola, M.A.N.D.Y and Steve Lawler.
After a summer in Ibiza which saw him spin for Jamie Jones at ‘Paradise’ at DC10, he’s surely One to Watch in 2016 and is already booked for the Burning Man Festival next year. Catch him at Egg Ldn first.
Shoreditch’s ‘pure, evil n’ fun’ club society, BITE MY LIP takeover The Loft for a soiree of polysexual chaos rocking their floor with techno, electro & dark pop topped off with some key performance art, and everyone is invited to ‘Dress The F**k Up’!
Sisyphos’s flamboyant colorful hippy crowd is reminiscent of bar 25’s infamously wild bunch of miscreants and misfits. Musically Sisyphos has its own sound and its DJs, whether playing techno, deep or house, deliver driving, energetic, powerful music that’s been deliberately designed for dancing, which makes sense given their parties start on Friday and finish on Monday!
Sisyphos residents Fidelity Kastrow, Jonty SKRUFFF & Juli. N More are three of the club’s leading lights & Egg Ldn welcome them back for their third Berlin session. Come early and be prepared to stay late as all three totally rocked Egg Ldn the last two times and will be whipping up another techno/house storm guaranteed to make you dance.
Representing the contemporary sound of present day Berlin are Chalet Club’s Mark Henning, who has risen up as one of the underground’s true players, recording for a volley of international house & techno labels such as Soma, Hypercolour, Poker Flat, Freude am Tanzen and more recently his own imprint Swing. His sound sits somewhere between house and techno, with a healthy dose of darkness, swing and funk.
He is joined by Frag Maddin (Upon.You/Noir Music) who is carving out a name with releases such as ‘Hats N’ Drive EP’, ‘Forward EP’ and ‘One Hand EP’ road testing his tunes at Chalet most weekends.
Completing the line-up is Yannik Robyns (Wanted, Housewax) Over the last three years Yannick has been throwing his infamous monthly Wanted! parties at Chalet Club with guests like Dyed Soundroom, Mayaan Nidam, Cats and Dogs, Reboot and Dan Ghenacia, as well as notching up releases as Robyns & Markey with good friend Sander Markey on labels such as Colludo rec.,Dasein Rec, Riot Riot Technique, Lift Your Head Up. Yannik also hosts his own Parallel Radio Show and has played all over Europe in leading clubs alongside headliners such as Marshall Jefferson, Moodymann, Kevin Saunderson, Kenny Larkin, Derrick May and Monika Kruse.
Together they mesh the sounds of the new against a beautiful club backdrop, which radiates the warm atmosphere of the 19th century due to its 150 year old location that includes a stunning outdoor Garden similar to Egg Ldn, Chalet is one of Berlin’s rare ‘underground’ treats.
