Everyone can dance under strobe, and if you still feel shy, try downstairs in Tresor, Berlin, where they spray so much dry ice you won’t be able to see the dancer beside you. Nor will they be able to see you. At least that’s how it was on the Tresor basement floor that Saturday night.
Although there were some people outside that appeared to be having trouble getting in (they did look quite young), we were ushered inside without any problem. We got there relatively early (Berlin early, that is – 12:45am). Upon entering we was glad that we had arrived almost sober since it allowed us to explore the vast expanses of one of Berlin’s most famous clubs. And believe me, it’s big. There were two English guys wandering around in the basement asking people if they knew where the exit was, although they did look a little worse for wear.
The line-up in Globus, the upstairs floor included Lawrence aka Sten (Dial, Smallville / Hamburg), Patrice Scott (Sistrum / Detroit), Rene Dachner (Weald / Hamburg), whilst downstairs in Tresor HendriX, Stassy & Luke (Sender Berlin, Tresor Rec., unGleich, Rejected / Berlin) manned the decks. It was difficult to tell which floor was more hardcore. They were both pretty hardcore techno, and really good to dance to. There was a good group of dancers on the floor but not too many to hinder movement, and no one was showing off too much, except maybe me, just a little.
We took some great photos of Tresor, which will give anyone who doesn’t know, an idea of what Tresor is like. Imagine the polar opposite of Felix, i.e. absolute minimal focus on decor and furnishing, absolute maximum focus on music, with an entire wall of speakers booming out techno tunes.
