Best parties in Berlin this November
From big phat anniversaries to queer celebrations, here's where you'll find us this month...
Winter finally caught up with us, but it’s not all bad - darker days means longer nights! As Berlin’s nightlife scene burrows deeper underground, November is all about recognising the communities that kept us moving throughout 2025 - so gather your crew and go warm your toes.

LUNCHBOX CANDY
This is it. Lunchbox Candy's final simulation of 2025 and one of their most abstract concepts yet. The NOW.
Known for their kaleidoscopic and unapologetically queer parties, Lunchbox Candy has been busy building us a sanctuary for radical self-expression. For their four year anniversary and last party of the year, they've programmed an evening of beautiful queer chaos - artists who have shaped and shifted queer culture in Berlin and beyond join beloved returning DJs and long-awaited special guests across 3 floors and 16+ hours. Expect jaw-dropping performances, impromptu shows all night long, and DJ sets spanning everything from Italo to house, breakbeat, and electro. The lineup drops at 10pm when the doors open, when the now begins.
In the words of the organisers “what happens next, can only happen NOW”.

DISSIDENT
MEOW! Dissident is purring in and leaving feral. As the name suggests, Dissident embraces nonconformity in sound, style, and social consciousness, fostering a community that centres queers and femmes and their contributions to dance music. This edition brings Oslo-based Ekkel with a modern Nordic '90s spin on psychedelic trance, while Barcelona-based Drazzit fires high-energy trance and techno.
Joining them are Berlin family: Rakans, threading Middle Eastern motifs into pounding club flow, and Hello Sasy, flipping house, pop edits and rave hooks with signature playfulness. Dissident's blend of vintage sounds and barrier-breaking ethos creates a playground of unhinged glamour and this closing party promises to be a lil’ bit savage.

TRESOR MEETS REFUGE WORLDWIDE x GALA
Old techno institution meets two of Berlin and London’s most vital cultural forces. Set in an abandoned power plant spanning 22,000m², Tresor is a labyrinth of concrete passages mazing into basement vaults and industrial halls that have welcomed all the old and new names of electronic music.
After four years of amplifying Berlin's diverse music scene through 10,000 radio shows and 5,000 artists, Refuge Worldwide has been busy to say the least. Joining forces with them is GALA, the independent festival celebrating the warm, organic and soulful sounds dance music was built on. Expect everything from jazz-meets-hip-hop fusion to neo-soul sensations across Tresor's iconic spaces.

FOGGY
FOGGY’S Autumn Series features hot and up-and-coming artists on the bass, MC, and experimental spectrum. Ugandan MC and Nyege Nyege affiliate MC Yallah leads with her fierce, boundary-pushing performances, joined by local DJ and producer Debmaster (Hakuna Kulala) and Miri Malek, co-founder of interdisciplinary arts collective Dwam. Bristol-based Jurango brings his fresh percussive sound, fresh from a double release on Livity Sound. Supported by WD40, founder and member of Foggy, with a light installation by WDIMMER adding visual magic to the sonic exploration.

HEISSS
Get down and dirty in RSO's industrial halls, with that HEISSS high energy. HEISSS is a Berlin-based collective known for blurring boundaries between house, wave, ghetto, trance, and techno. Don’t miss the main event - Nene H. Shaped by her Turkish-Azerbaijani heritage and a conservatory education in classical piano, Nene H has become a vital presence in Berlin's queer underground, championing SWANA, Muslim, and femme perspectives and killer sets that’ll make that room steamy for sure.

MALA JUNTA
For their final edition of the year, Mala Junta honours the spirit that powered the collective from Berlin to global stages—Tbilisi, Bogotá, Seattle, London, and Istanbul. This anniversary edition brings together residents and special guests including raptor house don DJ Babatr for a night built on connection, heat, and collective joy. Stay prepared for everything from deep and hypnotic to fierce, groovy and fast—their signature blend of funk-infused old school techno meeting breakneck dembow, riotous psychedelia, and progressive bliss. Seven years of love, sweat, and Mala sound.

HOE__MIES
Hoe__mies joins forces with sister collective Call of Dirty from Brussels for a stunning international lineup. Known for creating empowered spaces that centre femme, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ artists, this intentional space prioritises QTIBIPOC, women, and femmes.
Expect club and bass meeting Brussels' unapologetic queer chaos, with both collectives amplifying voices that often go unheard in the scene. While allies are welcome, remember who the space is for—come with respect and ready to move your tooshie surrounded by this beautiful community.

EINHUNDERT
A decade deep and still reinventing themselves. Einhundert celebrates 10 years in the tiled walls of OHM, the former battery room of a disused power plant. What started as a DJ and creative collective has grown into a powerful platform bringing together friends from different backgrounds to throw parties, concerts, exhibitions, and radio pop-ups that refuse to stay in one lane.
A good nose for up-and-coming talent have made founders Nicolas Adomako and Flo Hettenbach stand out amongst Berlin's party organisers. This edition showcases everything that's made them essential—diversity, fearlessness, and commitment to the DIY spirit that gives Berlin life.
