Makes me pine for my favourite city. Berghain/Panorama is exceptional on a Saturday. Pity that you missed Len Faki last Saturday (you had a valid excuse), but he really knows how to rock the main room. Superb techno DJ. I'm going to plan my next trip to Berlin around one of his Berghain sessions. To the reader who enquired whether to go to Pbar, apres-Watergate. I say: do it. Visit both and pop down to Pbar around 7-8am. The day is still young then. And a change of scene is always invigorating at that hour of the day! Lovely review of your weekend.

BUT... you should be worrying about the 30th. thats the next im fruehtau. pablo @carnage:

Autechre should sound absolutely amazing, despite being a load of old DSP-centric nonsense! ;) I'm off to see them in Glasgow Art School tomorrow night- i'll do a quick survey of the boy:girl ratio and report back immediately. martin, the low end of the berghain sound system’s would strip flesh from bone! we saw deepchord there a few months ago and quite a few people fled in terror!

Can most people over there speak english? Or do you need a fair bit of german to get by? Also, what's the best way to get to clubs over there? Taxi? sorry about the slightly off topic comments but I don't know where else to ask! Thanks John, I’m really looking forward to it. Can most people over there speak english?

(strange but totally right place for them to do a live set, i think.) any tips? what is this frühtau you mention? googling gave me the flyer for the night you attended, ronan, but not much more info... will have to look into this. last time we did watergate on a friday and then berghain/p-bar on saturday. mental. think there was sweet'n'candy + some kompakt guys playing at watergate (not sure) and there was an areal showcase at berghain. remember missing all but 10 minutes of ada's live set, but i'm not a big fan so that was ok anyway. wasn't very impressed with panoramabar but maybe that was because it was my first visit at berghain and the big venue is just so big and different from everything we call clubs here in sweden. cheers on the post, was a nice read! :) going back to berlin again next weekend to see autechre. woooo! looking forward to the trip very much since it is the first time in 3 years i’m going back.

Stayed till 1pm. we also find that if you get a bit of sleep before hand, no matter how excited you are, it aids recovery time and leaves you more wanting to go somewhere else. or maybe i'm just getting old. as a response to all comments. i think that in berlin the golden rule is not to go out too early. its hard as a brit to fully grasp the 24hr city thing.

I've seen this thing about Sunday morning being the zenith at Panoramabar in a few places. I don't subscribe to it at all though. Best Sunday morning I ever had there was seeing Nick Hoppner play 6am to 10am followed by Prosumer from 10 to 2 and it was really good don't get me wrong. But I've been to Watergate too at peaktime, Maria and Week12end. Nothing, but nothing for me has come close to Berghain/Panoramabar from 3am - 6am on the occasions I've been on Sat/Sun. Truly extraordinary. I don't dig the focus on Panoramabar either. Sure it's the place to be on Sunday morning when downstairs gets a bit too intense and strung out, but flitting between the main floor in Berghain and Panoramabar at full tilt between 3am and 6am on Sat night/Sun is as good as it gets for me. The contrast between the two rooms. The Berghain floor with someone like Faki/Dettman/Slater conducting it _makes_ the Panoramabar. Week12end and Maria don't seem to register nearly as high as Berghain/Panoramabar and Watergate on the publicity radar, and probably for obvious reasons in terms of variety/volume/quality of guests, but both are still really unmissable in my opinion. You can't be everywhere of course, so if you've only one bite at the cherry don't be anywhere other than running up and down the stairs between Berghain and Panoramabar between 3 and 6 in my opinion! @ Marc.
