Hope everyone who made the trip got into the club. Hope some recordings were made too, looks like a fun night.

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

Unlike the other half-dozen times I've been, this time Gabo, Ana & I weren't cool enough for the doormen but Ferenc came downstairs to yell at them to let us in tongue

Thanks Ferenc!!! It was a nice family-affair and the mood was positive.

I've lived near this club since it opened and the best way for me to describe their policy is 1/2 capriciousness and 1/2 anti-dress code (since they're more likely to let in regular people from the neighbourhood vs. those who are fancier-dressed). So on one hand, clubs in Berlin often die a painful death when they try to cater to sleazier meathead crowds and this is a way to mitigate that. On the other hand, who wants to go to a club where people can get turned away even when they're on the guest-list?

More importantly however is that the sound is still mediocre. A talented live audio engineer and I were just discussing this a few days ago: downstairs has improved a bit since they decided to make the speaker array L-R stereo instead of L-R-L-R (which can be unpleasant to listen to), BUT the new system upstairs was poorly installed. Sure they may have spent 50k on a new Meyersound setup but if you look up the specs you'll see the drivers have a really narrow of of dispersion. This is why you can barely hear any detail in the music on most of the dancefloor. It's like they have their fingers in their ears and whatever you say they just shout: But It's Meyer! ...which makes no difference if you're using the wrong speakers for the job.

From my one experience (and that is enough for me to probably not bother going back) there is something fundamentally wrong with Berghain/Panoramabar.  Whether the door policy is down to numbers, gender, dress, looks, nationality or just plain random doesn't change the fact that those bouncers are a bunch of complete cunts.  I don't care what your job is you simply shouldn't treat human beings like that. 

Give me a small club and a shiter soundsystem, with a sense of community any day.

Totally Agree here.  They are total jerks.  I used to say berghain was cool but no more.  They were like fucking rednecks at the door.  Like a bunch of asshole cops or something.  totally totally out of line.  i hope that place goes belly up.

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

sucks that you didn't get in man, having to worry about that shit really sucks when you genuinely want in for the music sad

so did anyone stay for the full 12 hours and live to tell the tale? smile

and like others have also said, recordings would be amazing if any were made...

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

Fuck that risk - booking flight, hotel, time off work to look forward to a club that your highly likely to get snubbed at, by a bouncer that's uglier than a burst abscess.

Stan, the story really sucks.
I really had a nice eve at Sneak-Thiefs b-day party yesterday, but then left to go to bed, because I was so tired from the night before (and a working day after a few hours of sleep). Was so nice to meet all the lovely ppl again, Lotty, Frigid, Johnnty, Yas... King Kong Klub was also nice with Mick, Queen, Hyboid (man - I forgot to give you the record - sorry) and esp. the drive home with Zora, her friend and Gabbo (nice experience at the Club on Alexanderplatz big_smile )

Michel, I give you a call this week.

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

this is why you can barely hear any detail in the music on most of the dancefloor.

Exactly my feeling. I was really surprised by the bad quality of the sound. At the end it was also really loud, I think my ears are still bleeding. I don't know if it's because of the door policy (looks like everybody is shitting in his pants in the waiting) but I found there was something fake in the mood inside. Went in for the 2nd time, same feeling, so I will never return in that club.
I really prefered when Ferenc played at About/Blank for example, that was cool !

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

man i hope john and justin got in, they were flying out from england to celebrate justin's big 40 

really, punching people, and a girl? for real? seems like the wrong place for a family party.

glad everyone else had fun, in or out of the klub

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

we were also disappointed by the sound system at panorama bar. the funktion one at the berghain floor was nice though. shame. I still had a good time but that club is just so exhausting. I missed most of vunks set but what ive heard was rocking. anyway, it was nice meeting some robots again, see you next time!

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

well, only ten hours at the party so only missed the first half of IG's set who rocked some acid that got us into the groove straight away. it's a shame that not everybody got in, this is for me the only downfall of the whole event. everything else was really cool. great fun and music, and was great to meet those i knew before and also some new peeps. until nachste mal!

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

We got knocked back. I was even on the guest list!!!!!! They still wouldn't let me in , when I said I was on the list plus one they were like 'so what, you're still not coming in'. WHATS THAT ABOUT?

Luckily the lovely Mr Mick Wills and Senor RDJX came to our rescue  big_smile

Once I got in, as I was about to put my coat in the cloakroom one of the doormen tried to throw me out again!!!! Saying I wasn't allowed in (??? WTF). Then I guess it must've been the doorman that I-F spoke to told him to leave it and he let go of me and I went in.

Stayed up in Panorama for all of the IFM stuff. Really good tunes all night, I think we left about 11am....

Glad you got in though, was wandering if you would make it in.

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

Really crazy to read all these stories about people not getting in .. Wonder how the bouncers perceived you by your looks etc ..

Re: 5th March 2011, Intergalactic FM, Panoramabar Berlin

Went a few times there, never had a problem to get in, but I agree with you guys that this bouncer is basically the biggest wank I've ever seen.
