Well, I’m not a usual fan of the anual tavern night at my home town. That’s because of two main things: first, the music played is not the kind of style I really like (very un-electronic) and second I simply dislike being in a general tavern. Saturday was kinda different, since a new bar called Freizeit Lounge joined this year’s procedure, promoting to serve electronic music. Of course, one good reason for me to go there.
The Freizeit Lounge - opened in March - is a small, comfortable bar in an arches-like location. Having a dance floor and a nice arrangement of settees makes it a good location for alternative events, lounge nights as well as providing a base for local artists of multiple music styles. And the more minimalistic arrangement (in positive sense) is also suitable for electronic music.
At Saturday three DJs have played - Kalei-doskop, Play and Hektiker. The night started with some older vocal house tracks: pretty good grovin’ and danceable of course. I’m actually not the huge fan of vocal house, although I still own some vocal house records from the days I began to buy records, but it was quite nice listening to this style though after a long time. The crowd was also pretty cool. I also met some old friends there, but the most suprising thing was, that Kalei-dokop (the owner of the bar) was a former classmate of mine :) The longer the night the more electro records were played by both Kalei-doskop and Hektiker, who then were performing a ping-pong set, and also serving well known tech-house classics like Steve Bug’s “Loverboy” from 1997 (man this record is 11 years old and still rocks!) and Guido Schneider’s “As Dry As I Can” from 2003, both on Poker Flat.
My night ended around 6:30 a.m. after enjoying a nice breakfast (still being at the lounge) with the last few people. I know that this wasn’t the end at all, so be prepared for a long night if you go there ;)
Altogether it was a great night with good music, relaxing people and with old and new friends. Definitely not the last time I was there! Check out the upcoming events at the Freizeit Lounge!
