Halloween Weekend Clubbing Roundup: London, Berlin, Roma, Antwerp, Barcelona, Copenhagen, New York, Taipei & Sydney

It's a big weekend of clubbing as the freaks come out to celebrate halloween in true techno style. So instead of waffling, we'll get straight to the events. There's plenty to get through so we'll keep most of them short and sweet.

London

We begin on Friday night in London as Broken & Uneven's Hydra series continues as they welcome online record store Bleep.com to launch their new project, BLPGRN001, the first in a run of 12"s in collaboration with design collective Give Up Art and photographer Shaun Bloodworth.

Provide the music for the night's festivities will be a star studded line up consisting of Blawan, Lucy, Pangaea, Objekt, Kowton and the first UK live show from, the duo of Analogue Cops and Steffi, Third Side.

The party will be held in Hackney Wick at the Ican Studios and tickets are available from Resident Advisor

Saturday at fabric Room 2 hosts the official launch party of their latest cd, fabric 66 mixed by Ben Klock. The Berghain resident is joined by a couple of names that you'll see in the compilation CDs tracklisting in the shape of Truncate and Wincent Kunth.

You can read all about the CD and order your own copy from the fabric website where you can also purchase your Tickets. As part of the package you can get a discount when you order your CD and ticket together.

Berlin

It's tonight, and already started, but we couldn't do this post without giving it a mention. We're gutted we're not there, but if you're looking for something to do in Berlin tonight, this has to be your only destination.

Tresor, Sonic Groove Records and Fullpanda Records combine in Tresor's Globus room to bring you Timewise. Featuring live sets from Biosphere and Robert Henke and topping it off with an ambient DJ set from Adam X and Dasha Rush.

Once the show has finished the fun's not over, as Adam and Dasha take you down to Tresor's legendary basement for what's bound to be an epic after party. Full event info can be found on the Facebook Event Page

We stay at Tresor from Friday night's shenanigans as Tuna Park puts on an altogether international affair of great interest to us here at SDD. Two SDD Podcasters in Singapore's Xhin and Argentina's Pfirter and past SDD guest, Germany's Milton Bradley.

Delsin Night @ Culture Box (3rd May 12)

Thursday nights don't come much better than this as our favourite Danish nightspot keeps wheeling out the impressive line ups. Tomorrow night sees Delsin Records setup shop for the night at Culture Box with the help of Morphosis and Delta Funktionen.

Grounded Theory 12 @ Arena Club (28th Oct 11)

The good times, and the great line ups, keep coming for Grounded Theor y. The previous 11 parties have been a veritable who's who of the very best acts in techno. GT11 was held at Horst Krzbrg but for GT12 they're back in more familiar surroundings at Arena Club.

The headliner will require no introductions. Ostgut artist, Berghain resident and head of the Klockworks label, Ben Klock has had quite a year. His name and reputation, as both an artist and a DJ, have been ever expanding worldwide earning him performances at the worlds best clubs and festivals. He's almost becoming a regular fixture in London these days. He's graced our soundsystems a total of four times this year and has been nothing short of monumental every single time.

Joining him will be Ann Amiee and Delsin Records artist, Delta Funktionen. You'll recognise this name too, as well you should. Those who made it to Plex in July or fabric in August will fully understand why we've been keeping such a close eye on the Dutch producer / DJ.

Completing the line up will be a live set from Subjected & Morbeck, under their Vault Series guise and the man behind Grounded Theory, Henning Baer. Fresh from his debut release, on the label he runs with Milton Bradley, K209, we're sure he'll have something up his sleeve to get your toes tapping and your heads bobbing in the very best way imaginable.

The party kicks off at midnight and goes on till.... There's no tickets just so just rock up and pay the, more than, reasonably priced 10 euros on the door. All the other information can be found on the Resident Advisor Event Page.

You can keep tabs on all the latest Grounded Theory movements via their Facebook Fan Page and the same goes for Ben Klock and Delta Funktionen.

Delsin Records @ fabric (20th Aug 11)

It wasn't difficult selecting our pick of the weekends events today. There is really only one event worth worrying about, fabric, and another first class line up in Room 2. The Amsterdam based label will be making the short trip across the English Channel and bringing with them 4 acts from their superb artist roster, in Brendon Moeller, Mike Dehnert, Delta Funktionen and Newworldaquarium.

It's a simple decision of where to go tomorrow night but with Stacey Pullen, Levon Vincent and Bruno Pronsato in Room 1, it's going to be difficult to choose where to be once you're inside the club, but fabric have really pulled it out the bag for what's supposed to be one of the worst weekends of the year for business. And because of that reason fabric is reward it's faithful by making it free for all fabricfirst members (Of which we are). You can't say fairer than that!

Tickets are still on sale on the Resident Advisor Event Page and for everything else fabric related head over to the fabric website. Delsin can be found on Facebook and Twitter. Also for a little insight into the minds of Delta Funktionen and Newworldaquarium check out this video interview that Plastic Dreams did with them earlier on in the summer at this years Sonar festival

Plex @ Corsica Studios (2nd Jul 11)

Plex are back at Corsica Studios with another stormer of a line up. The last party in February was immense with great sets from Ancient Methods, Surgeon and Sigha. We caught a bit of video from Sigha's set which doesn't even come close to doing the night justice, but is still good none the less.

This coming Saturday is looking equally as impressive. Headlining is Morphosis with his UK debut live performance. DJ sets come from DJ Pete (who you will now all about from his superb Wax Treatment Podcasts) as Substance, Delta Funktionen, Nick Craddock and the Plex DJs.

Room 2 is hosted by Brackout with Radioactive Man and a whole host of others.

Tickets are available on Resident Advisor. More info on Plex can be found on their Facebook Fan Page or you can follow them on Twitter

Focusing on the deep sides of house and techno, their first release from The Echelon Plan does just that.
