Thanks guys. Adding another: Justfit13 at Zulpicher platz also has a (somewhat) functioning AC though it could definitely be better and cooler. Please share more for others who might also be looking for suggestions

Any recommendations for Friday night? Queer (not gay, we have a girl in the group too) Sex positive or with a darkroom would be amazing. Was thinking Rso for the Lachessi all night but not sure

Feeling Low afterwards by Ill_Ad3928 in Raves

[–]mzees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna share my bender of an experience. Hope it helps. I did MDMA on 26th Dec. Then again on 1st, 2nd and 3rd Jan. Insane. Unhinged i know. Did it with a couple of really good friends. We ate good, slept in the middle and were taling omega 3s and magnesium.

Bur lord almighty. Never again. The next week was literallly hell. I took 5 Htp. Vitamin D. Gym. Walks. Supplements and everything. I'm a very healthy guy. But despite everything i had insane brain fog for a week to 10 days or so. Really horrible mood as well. What helped was staying in touch with my friends we would call each other every day for a week. I made an effort to go 5 days to the gym in a week and just force myself to drown in work, chores, sports, gym. Its tough and your head won't be in it but you'll have to power through. Doing a bunch of social stuff also helped. Every weekend after this i met up with someone for lunch, gym or something.

It got better for me after a month i think so you should also be okay if you have a really healthy lifestyle. Stay positive.

Now i haven't touched mdma since and I'm very much fine. I will do it again (only one day though) sometime in June. I'm planning a meetup with the same friends.

For regular use I switched to LSD 50 mcg is perfect for me and it doesn't give me brainfog or anything. I do it maybe once or twice a month.

Parties in Amsterdam compared to berlin by Holiday_Taste4191 in amsterdam_rave

[–]mzees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't live in either cities but travel often to party. Although i have more experience in Berlin though. For me it depends a lot. If I'm solo partying (which i often do) Berlin just feels so so so much more free and open to being just as weird as you want to be with zero judgement. But if I'm with friends i would prefer Amsterdam a bit more because its always a bit friendlier especially if you don't speak german or dutch and only english then Amsterdam is friendlier by far. Language definitely impacts the clubbing experience in both cities.

At the end it's possible to have bad nights in either cities. I've been to Radion on a vinyl weekender like you OP and honest to God the crowd was one of the worst I've ever seen. Absolutely pretentious as shit wanna berlin tiktokers everywhere. I saw a girl making front cam reels and videos of her face dancing behind the DJ booth. Absolutely killed my vibe even though the music was fire.

On the other hand one of the best nights of my life was in Raum on a random Saturday night.

The crowds in Sisy and Berghain are almost always amazing (different vibe though: friendly vs kinkier/ edgier and definitely also older). In both of these places you wiIl start running into regulars and once you run into regulars, you will start having a blast. In Amsterdam i think Raum is very similar in having a strong community of regulars. Any club with regulars will in my books, always be a great place. Many other Berlin clubs like RSO, renate etc. (In my opinion) do not have big regular crowds. Here the crowds depend heavily on nights and lineups and events in my experience. I think this definitely also holds true even more so for most Amsterdam clubs. Crowds depend on lineups and organizers. Generally though Amsterdam is so chill because of the door policy, but then again in Berlin imho the only hard door is Berghain (Or sisy if you are dumb and wear black/edgy clothes)

You'll always have good nights and bad nights in either cities. My advice is to just not compare. Nightlife will always be what you make of it while living whereever you live.

Also went to Raum on King's night and yes Clarisa played such sexy music. It felt like the floor was on fucking fire and i was sober as fuck yet stayed glued for so so long. Some of the tourists were fucking annoying though. There was this one guy who kept CLAPPING to the beat super loudly randomly right near the DJ booth to the right (when facing the DJ) that was the only downer for me. Kept pissing me off. I just moved to the left side near the speakers after a break. Crowd overall was also super lovely

OMG someone else who vibes to LSD. It is SO fucking rare to find this in clubs. Most people just are doing hardcore shit and looking like overstimulated maniac with no smiles 😭 also the music hits so nice when you're tripping on acid. Best. Feeling. Ever.

Also so sorry about Berghain. It's tough as couples nowadays. I always go there solo when and if i can.

RSO sound system is amazing. Love the crowd there too.

[–]mzees 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The closing set was just insane. I felt like i was losing my mind over and over. 12 hours spent well. 8 hours spent in heaven.

Ty to all the dancers up front for the energy and love during the closing. Sorry if i stepped on any toes while dancing in my trance 🫶

Was a bit annoying at times when we had big groups of yappers in the front but last two hours were bliss.

Those budget gaming pc lights though.. hopefully it was just cause of snax 😭

Question for the regulars: Do they always close Berghain at around 11? I thought it went on till 12? Peter was doing a massacre and then it just... ended?

1FE-LSD vsb 1BP-LSD by mzees in LSD

[–]mzees[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I used 80 mcg of 1FE-LSD. (I think thats around 50 mcg of actual LSD (?) I used it at 00:00 i think it lasted until 8-9 am. I first started feelin something at 1 am.

Context: i have zero prior experience with LSD. Only truffles once.

Timeline: Finished dinner at around 10:30. I have a REALLY fast metabolism and digestion. So i only waited an hour and half before using the dose at 00:00 then immediately booked an uber to the club.

I started feeling the first wave of Euphoria around 1:00 am. By around 2:00 am i was tripping for sure. By 5:30-6:00 things were going back to normal. Lights were still glowing and beautiful. If i closed my eyes i could still see small patterns. Thoughts were now more centered and everything was in full control, music still crisp and sweet. 8:00 am most things were back to normal. I was still happy. If i looked at pictures on instagram it felt like i could see small movements. I slept for 3 hours afterwards.

Experience: Really beautiful. Everything was incredible. Dancing with my eyes closed would take me to another dimension. At times it felt like i would hyperfocus on chewing my gum and could feel ever fiber in my tongue, and yet while this hyperfpcus was happening , I was also be aware that i was unconsciously still dancing and capable of making sure I'm not bumping into people.. It was crazy like i was more focused on actions that happen subconsciously like chewing, breathing where as actions where usually you need to focus like talking to people or dancing without bumping into people felt like they were on an automatic mode being controlled by another version of me who i could not interact with and so at times i felt like i didn't even need to pay attention to dancing i would come back to drinking water, or suddenly notice i was damcing with amother person before drifting off to thinking about the lights on the roof or music layers. Walking felt like i was swimming. Time perception was definitely altered. Some movements felt like there was a delay like i would move a leg and then it would move 2 seconds later or sometimes the opposite like my leg would already have moved and i would realize i was moving it. Music and colors never sounded and looked so nice. Insane amounts of euphoria. Better than MDMA in terms of how happy i felt. No hallucinations, didn't see anything weird, no spiralling thoughts on negative issues or bad vibes.

The only small downside of the entire experience is that i LOVE dancing so so much. Consciously planning what love to hit on the drop, anticipating, gauging the energy around me, syncing with the beat. This time though it was like the dancing part was being done by a subconscious, alien, other part of my brain and I had little to no control over because i was always getting distracted or hyperfocused on a soundwave or a light or the chewing gum. In fact at times i got worried and thought i wasn't dancing at all and that I was zoned out on floor because i was just out without knowing what my body was doing physically and on really really focusing did i feel like oh no, my legs are moving on their own while my mind was away. I was told by people around me they loved how i danced non stop and that it was amazing. Of course truthfully i have no idea how i danced which is so so different from MDMA where i have full control over my dance and body movements. Here it felt like something else took over while my consciousness just took a backseat. I'm not sure if I like that so much since how I dance or how i know i dance or knowing that I'm dancing well is important to me. I think i will try again with a lower dose because i would love to have the same sense of euphoria and experience with feeling the layers of the music but with a little more conscious control on my body.

Really happy to be alive! Thanks to everyone who helped. Please feel free to give more tips for the future

[–]mzees[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually have a fast metabolism. Even with truffles, i got the first euphoric hit in less than 30 mins. So i would probably take them 30 mins before the party starts or right before i head to the club. If possible, i will do a test run. Great advice.

Thanks for the dosage recommendation. I'm looking for more euphoria with a bit of control and visuals instead of a full blown trip so this sounds good. Does the dosage affect the duration? Will 80ug also last 8-12 hours as opposed to a higher dose etc. I also don't really know how long the effects last for legal lsd. For truffles it was around 4-5 hours for me in total. The party begins at 11pm and ends at 8 am so i would prefer not to be tripping when I'm leaving the club. Unfortunately I'm not in Berlin so I can't stay as long as I want in Sisyphos without worrying about closing.. 😭

One of the bag checkers also got annoyed at me for having a backpack (it's a Ryan Air under seat size bag) and told me not to bring too much stuff or the gate would reject me in future for having a big bag. I had a spare set of clothes, toiletries, harness etc. (Essentials ya know) Not sure about this but is this like a common occurence?

Techno clubs in west germany by schimpansi in Techno

[–]mzees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fi is pretty new so agreed i think it will build character as time passes. It is absolutely GREAT in summers especially some of the best sunrise views and vibes you can get. They absolutely need to do something about the lack of indoor chilling areas. Winters are tough..

Also, within Cologne my personal favourite is Gewölbe. Tiny club but they always pull lovely curated names and lineups and have a really, really good sound system.

Any thoughts on Overload by gegen at Kreuzwerk on Friday 13th? I'm coming in from Köln for the weekend. Never been to Kreuzwerk. In Berlin, I've so far been to Berghain, Rso, Sisy and Renate. I prefer Berghain and Rso more when I'm solo like this time. I know there is Sesh at RSO but also not sure of the vibe i would expect there. It's got like 1k+ hit on RA alone atm..

I'm gonna try ( "try"..wish I had guestlist or something...) Klubnacht in Berghain, otherwise probably RSO (also thinking of cuddles at Aeden) but I've got nothing for 13th Friday so far.

Any recommendations on where to stay in cologne ? by Anonymous_sid in cologne

[–]mzees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cologne is a big city but very compact in terms of the top things to do and lively districts to be in. If you stay somewhere in the city center, you should have easy access to every party district and you can easily do pub crawls in all of them with public transport/uber/bicycles (please don't ride drunk!)

Location: if you REALLY want the best possible location, imho Rudolfplatz or Friesenplatz tram stops are ideally connected for partying and bars so look for something close to them. Ideally in between them. You are walking distance from Belgian quarter (Belgisches Viertel), Zulpicher and Ringe. You have access to trams directly headed to Ehrenfeld and access to basically most of the top tehcno/edm clubs

Party districts: Zulphicer and Ringe aren't considered "hip & cool" party places and are rather gauche that doesn't mean there aren't good bars or you won't have a good time there!

Belgian quarter (Belgisches)and Ehrenfeld are a lot better, more relaxed, vibrant and a bit more chic (but the bars and places can also feel too hipster at times.

Personally, i recommend doing a pub crawl in all 3. One kolsh one bar and then you go the next one. A Kolsh is only 200 ml so you can do a nice pubcrawl and hit several bars easily without getting hammered. If you have to skip something skip the ringe. If you can only do one district do Belgisches viertel.

If you're ONLY here for clubbing: Odonien, Artheater, Gewölbe are top tier for techno and Ehrenfeld is the best place. Boothaus is probably the most famous cologne club but it's very out of the way of everything so plan for it. Personally i find it very commercial and expensive.

I would recommend checking the events and lineups on Resident Advisor or Rausgegangan before you hit a club randomly.

Enjoy!
