Club music is rooted in underground communities, and Room 4 Resistance brings that revolutionary spirit back to several clubs, including Trauma Bar und Kino. Why go? This night is also known for its diversity; Room 4 Resistance highlights the work of non-white, queer, non-binary and transgender artists and extends a promise of safety and inclusivity to make space for the personal and political on the dancefloor.
Playlists are lush with a refreshingly broad palette of musical influences from s glam rock to industrial techno and contemporary pop. Run in conjunction with the queer-interest magazine of the same name, this party is a place to abandon your inhibitions and trousers to the tune of accessible techno and electronic music. Inclusivity and diversity are key; the night celebrates bodies of all shapes and sizes โ and the willingness to grin and bear it.
Weeeirdos is a travelling showcase that bounces between newer venues and mainstays like Monarch.

Lasting well over 24 hours at a time, Buttons is a mainstay on the Berlin queer scene. Nights now happen everywhere from Club Ost to Zenner โ check their website for upcoming parties.
