The setting is quite simple: At the beginning everyone should say a few words about themselves. After that the only rule is that it should not be considered impolite to end a conversation to talk to someone else.
Our studio, with 16 working spaces and a photo studio is next door and you are welcome to have a look inside.
Please invite people and try to be on time. It starts at 5pm.

After a couple of years of living and partying in Berlin, we’ve traveled from one group of friends to the next, shared many a festivities with the whole city on big raves and, in general, watched how everything changed so fast. From a very subjective perspective, the wheels turn pretty quickly in Berlin. You have to adapt to changes (well, let’s focus on nightlife here, yeah?) in an instant: closing clubs, changing venues, or a whole crowd that separates.

But last year we finally found something that resembles a steady institution in our lives (it might be a bad sign if you consider a party series a “steady institution” of your life). A place and a party where all of our friends meet up — always. Where we enjoy the night, even when the music is not completely in line with our tastes (that never happens), because everyone’s there, everyone likes to be there. It’s WEBOOGIE.

I know that the vast majority of the techno crowd has already found what I love so much about WEBOOGIE, but for people like me — people who like different sorts of dance genres, I guess we’re the outcasts of Berlin — there was never such a place. I know it’s not everyones game, but I don’t care. If you’re into great and fresh sound and an eclectic mix of people and like to dance your ass off in a former striptease-bar, go ahead and do it.

If a party can be anything like a restaurant, then WeBoogie is the family-owned, loved and cared for diner that is open 24/7 and always serves you with a wonderful warm meal. In fact, WeBoogies trademark is the self-made pizza that you can get during the warm-up of the parties. No shit. I mean, great music AND pizza in one place. You’d think it can’t get better, but it can, and it does.

Today is the first anniversary of WEBOOGIE and we’re super doped up about it. We’re looking forward to celebrating with our homies and friends at Chesters. Looking back on the past partys, we’ll probably be more cautious too; what with all those mobile phone pictures and videos that keep floating up, documenting our wastedness and such. They are our Collective Memories, so to say. And it’s nice to know that just by simply asking within that group of friends, we can find many, many pictures to put up here and share with you.

This first year anniversary will go down in history as the legendary party where I really felt at home. Which might also be because the Chesters, the new WEBOOGIE venue, is located five minutes away from my doorstep. Nevermind though, I’d mighty support it even if Chesters was in Spandau (I probably wouldn’t. Lucky me.)

If you’re ready to take part, let us know in the comments. We’re giving away 2x2 guestlist spots for tonight and we’ll be thrilled to see you there, boogying with our friends, getting wasted in the corner, and letting us take your picture! DJ Paypal, Ticklish, Hazeem, Nightjar and favorite residents Sarah Farina, Genys and Front2blaq will keep you entertained. Be early for the pizza!

Thanks to Ari, Tim and Genys for those precious pictures. We should bring our Lomo cameras more often for sure.

We are happy to announce that we are getting additional support from the UK. Industry veterans Riddim Commission (Marco del Horno & DJ Swerve) will be stepping up to the decks alongside self-proclaimed local music geek Soulmind and, of course, your well beloved TMS residents Sarah Farina and SixFoot.

Expect more bass, more space and more haze!

Vernissage 20.04.2013 / 20.00 / Backyard / Gitschiner Str 22 / U-Prinzenstr

Artists: THC Crew, Dan Rowe, Adam Tylicki

Video Premier: 22.30

DJs: DT64, Ghetto Paradise, Suz

It is impossible to take the S-Bahn or the bus in Berlin without noticing the graffitis of Kreuzberg grafitti crew THC. You might have not actively noticed if you’re not into graffiti art, but their works and the three letters T H C are everywhere, not just in Kreuzberg. THC belongs to Berlin just like the Fernsehturm or the Döner, being a group of guys, born and raised in a Berlin of the 90s, influenced by Hip Hop music and the fast changing city. For the exhibition Almost Legal at Backyard, THC is exhibiting for the first time ever inside a room, all legal, a new experience for them and for us. To keep it underground they will premiere a video showing the work process of a piece, on the streets and barely legal. Cause may the rents go high and the streets go pretty, this is still Kreuzberg 36, right?! More about the group exhibition and the other artists taking part after the jump.

In a complete contrast to THC regarding the subject – but not less colourful - artist Dan Rowe is also part of the exhibition. The fact that he is colourblind prevented his entry to art college at a time when it would have been relevant. However, this artist sees what he thinks he sees, feels what he feels and expresses it in oil, on canvas. Dan, already having exhibited internationally (Sydney, London), will show his massive canvas, made in Jamaica, creating a summerish feeling of laid back chilling and dreams of white sand, rastas, reggae music and the blue sea. Reggae has been a huge influence for Rowe from a very young age. So much, that his life ambition was to reach Jamaica, and paint there for a reasonable amount of time. In search of the Jamaican dream, eventually it was found but not without blood and tears.

The exhibition will be completed by the work (sculpture) of Adam Tylicki. Born and raised in New York City, he spent his early years living in his father’s art gallery, a crucial point for his later pursuit to become an artist. Since achieving a degree in Fine Arts Photography & Video at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Tylicki has been challenging the traditional way of photography and now sets on redefining the medium he is mainly working in. Following shows in London and Poland where he also resided, Tylicki is now based in Berlin, objectivity and minimalism have overcome the art’s aesthetic in his recent works.

So, dress up tomorrow evening to join the exhibition opening on Saturday and stay for a little afterparty with DT64 whom you already know from the A’ Million party, the cray boys of Ghetto Paradise (they are young and need free drinks) and (curly) Suz. And don’t forget to watch out for three massive letters THC when taking the S-Bahn!

Backyard cordially invites you to join the opening of the exhibition Almost Legal:

After our first party at Mindpirates last April and finding our monthly home in the former KitkatClub aka Chesters last October, it s hard to believe we ve been Swanging & Banging for a year now! We’ll celebrate with Birthday Specials, exclusives, fresh Pizza: another extravaganza of LUSH CLUB, BLISSFUL BASS & FUTURE BOOGIE.

VIBES VIBES VIBES!

We’re very grateful for your unconditional ♥ and support. We feel extremely privileged to be able to introduce relatively unknown but super talented artists like Obey City, DJ Slow, Piu Piu, Slick Shoota, Alizzz, B-Ju, Fingalick, Nightjar, L33, Justas Fresh, Vaiper and of course don dada Scratcha DVA and residents to an open-minded and ever party-ready crowd — being part of an emerging international scene way beyond boxes and Berlin. THANK YOU.

But, no time for nostalgia as we keep reaching forward and are very excited to bring back some old friends with exclusive new material and premiere two artists from the near FUTURE:

♥ DJ PAYPAL (Dirrrty South Internet, USA) ♥

The ROLLER-JUKE, TURBO-SOUL, SEACRUNK, GHETTO-DISCO & TRILLED OUT R&BASED Mysterious Wunderkind touching down in Europe for the very first time after having the the internetz going nutzzz with his #mallmusic #tomcrew #dj mastercard #djboydrama #mollywood crew since 2012. His recently released mix for the almighty tastemakers LuckyMe x Rinse FM show is just a sign of big things to come..

Paypal’s tracks and sets are a like a merry Rollercoaster ride through contemporary club on a cocktail of champagne, purple haze, molly & southern Sizzurp. Either chopped, screwed, twerked or flipped, his style is undeniably Swangy and Unique, adding fresh, soulful and exciting flavors to the current overload of electronic dance music from overseas. SO MUCH FUN.

♥ TICKLISH — Live Showcase (Loose Squares, Berlin) ♥

A little closer to home, but not less of a future promise, we present TICKLISH: another gem from the Internet. Little is known about this Berlin juke kid. All it took to make us love him was last summers soulful bouncer “ No 1 but U”:

HIT: https://soundcloud.com/ticklishofficial/no-1-but-u

We could hardly believe he lives just around the corner, because his silkie smooth R&B infused melodic footwork is not a sound you would normally expect in our techno capital. Every now and then he would share another track, and it didn t take long for Chicago’s Crissy Murderbot to sign him to his new Loose Squares label. A big sign of approval. We re delighted we ve got the honour of presenting a special pre-release Showcase of his highly anticipated first EP, which also included a remix by our homeböy Slick Shoota. Actually, this is the very first time TICKLISH will make a public appearance and play out his new tunes!

♥ HAZEEM + special guest MC (Live Showcase) ♥

Ever since Hazeem played at our first party, Berlin’s very own Future Funk & Boom Bip Beatgeek has been taking some serious steps forward. He carved a niche for himself in the German beat landscape, got signed to LA’s soul providers Plug Research, plays weekly gigs throughout the country, and co-runs the internationally acclaimed Beatgeeks nights at Monarch. Tonight he’ll give us a sneak peek of the most boogable stuff he has been working on lately, accompanied by a very special guest MC!

♥ NIGHTJAR (Lithuania) ♥

No WEBOOGIE anniversary without Lithuanian input. It s no secret we’re very much into the Lithuanian club scene, and vice versa. We haven’t done one single party without some Baltic Bass. These guys are real craftsmen that know how to rock & surprise the crowd. Outlook Festival Dj champion Nightjar blessed us with a banging 130 bpm set last November and might pitch things up to 140 bpm this time. Listen back to his weboogie warm up mix and prepare for some heavy One Tech Step and UK Club pressure..

BRING A FRIEND!

Night N°1 will be hosted by no one else than the unique magazine store do you read me?! at their Reading Room. Potsdamer Strasse 98 is the place to stop by and say „Hi” after strolling through the numerous galleries.

For the night N°2 the creative duo osko + deichmann were invited to install a playful tribute to the origin of Ceviche — Peru! The installation will be presented at the MadeMyDay STUDIO at Torstrasse 66 and unveiled by the visitors!

Lets spread the love, for Ceviche and art!

THC Crew

Two Graffiti artists, born and raised in Berlin/Kreuzberg and inspired by the Hip-Hop Scene of the 90s, presenting the pure shape of the letter itself in every facet. By showing our work within this exhibition, our work will be presented for the first time not only on the streets but inside a room. Furthermore they will premier a video showing the work process of several pieces, barely legal.

Dan Rowe

Fear and Loving back a Yard…in Search of a Jamaican Dream

A colourist Rowe is. Colourblind mind, red/green to be precise. This factor prevented entry to art college at a time when it would have been relevant.  However, this artist sees what he thinks he sees, feels what he feels and expresses it in oil, on canvas.

Rowe has exhibited internationally, supporting Australian artist Walangari Karntawarra in an exhibition in Vaulcluse, Sydney in 1995. Rowe has also exhibited in Kingston, Jamaica and in London, Penzance and Nottingham in the UK.

Reggae has been a huge influence on Rowe from a very young age.  So much so that his life ambition was to reach Jamaica, and paint there for a reasonable amount of time.  He considers his prior travels as training for a difficult destination on a budget.  In search of the Jamaican dream, eventually it was found but not without blood and tears.

Following shows in London and Poland where he also resided, Tylicki is now based in Berlin. In his recent works, objectivity and minimalism have overcome the art’s aesthetic .

Tylicki considers “New Photography” to be simultaneously the end and beginning of that medium on his artistic path, a new form of perceiving and taking pictures, in itself a conceptual photographic revolution.
