Warschauer Straße - Rocking Berlin
2nd September 2007 by Simon
Went along to RAW Sunshine with high hopes.
Venue was great, most of the music was rocking, but the one thing it was lacking was crowds.
Speaking to the people running it, it had been going non-stop since Friday night and was to continue until Sunday at 6PM. Hats off to the involved, looked like it was getting busier as I was leaving, so hope it filled up for them.
On the way back to the station I couldn’t resist overshooting to check out the excellent sounds coming from the other side of the bridge.
The route down to the sounds was along a I beam with a severe drop on one side. Feeling the colly wobbles I spied another, more sane route - without a lethal drop.
Once down the temporary construction staircase I made my way over under the bridge. A great crowd jumping to an impromptu party powered by a vehicle and a generator. Reminded me of very early days of Soul2Soul under the arches at Paddington.
Berlin is the party city at this moment and one of the most happening place I’ve come across around Warschauer Straße. Great small food places, bars and a general good vibe.
UPDATE: I hear from Holger that there’s a big stadium being built there, so it sounds like the area might soon start to get ruined by corporate-isation. Get there while it’s still good.
UPDATE 2: The more people I speak to, the more doomed this area sounds like it’s going to be. I’ve now heard that RAW-tempel, where the event was held could be turned into luxury flats (!). the people there are resisting saying that the art projects that happen there are more important than flats - quite right too.
