HELLO COPENHAGEN

Rezet Store, Rådhusstræde 7 up the stairs to the right, city Show map

16:00 – 19:00 // no entrance fee

As you may know,  this week has been declared fashion week in Copenhagen.

This of course means a lot of “hard to reach” parties and closed doors – but it also means small receptions and free drinks.

Rezet Store is a fairly new (and my personal favorite) sneaker store in Copenhagen. It’s a bit secluded from the busy Strøget and has a welcoming atmosphere.

The small shop is host when the ‘street’ brand Moustage is launching their new collection – their first collection was completely sold out, so I guess if you are into street fashion, this would not be a bad place to get some shopping inspiration.

Also there will be vodka/Burn for the thirsty and of course a dj will be spreading the good vibes.

Bremen Teater, Nyrupsgade 39 - 41, city Show map

20:00 – 02:00 // 50 DKK

The theater Bremen has put some of my favorite activities in a pot and stirred it around.

Charismatic flee market in between blue velvet theatre chairs. Burgers flipped and sold directly from the bike on the stage. Drinks, dj,s and live music.

Remember to bring cash.

You’ll definitely see me there.

13:00 – 17:00 // no entrance fee

I actually got this event recommended by my Canadian friend Michael. He loves Copenhagen and talks about Denmark as a country with a lot of great hidden music… But he can’t buy it anymore, as he sadly, has moved back to Canada.

I promised to get him some music stuff (Efterklang) at this event, as it is exceptionally cheap.

Maybe I’ll find some cheap arty posters, books etc. for  the friends without christmas wishes. And coffee… Lots of coffee.

Pecha Kucha is Japanese for “Chit chat” and is about a number of creatives presenting their work, ideas and visions in 20 elements which each gets exactly 20 seconds of attention from the speeker – all to all a presentation of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

An element could be a picture, a performance, a sound clip – everything is allowed as long as it doesn’t exceeds 20 seconds.

The presentations are primarily in Danish, but I know that some are going to be in English.
For a detailed line up, see Facebook event.

Looking for a proper dance crowd for friday night? – Listen up!

Friday Club mambo sets the scene for the event of the weekend: Think Big Dance Battle.

This night lots of skilled dancers compete in either hip hop or dancehall freestyle to win the first prize of 1000 kr.

It’s really not about winning the prize; it’s about winning the crowd.

We’ll be there to cheer for them as they give their all.

The judges are: Thomas Talawa (Norway), Evee Smile (France) and Rudolf Ouea (France).

It’s going to be hot, hot, hot and when the winner has been announced, the after party starts. The DJ’s in his spot, so grab your best friend and work your moves all night long with us. Everyone is welcome!

20:00 – 23:30 // free entrance

If you are in town between 21 and 23 July and feel like chilling in the park, the open air film screenings in Ørstedsparken seem like a perfect thing to do. Presented by the MIX Copenhagen (formerly Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Film Festival) this year’s showings include The Kids Are All Right, Howl and The Last Summer of La Boyita.

The entry is free, there is a bar, cheap popcorn and music before the showings. Hopefully the weather will also contribute to the summerhygge.

14:00 – late // free

The followings are (some of) the parties I’m going to check out when Distortion trashes inner city:

200 free sandwiches and chillout at Zefside – down by the channels. A slow starter.

Free shots and a sailor rave theme at Rezet Store. These guys really know how to party and how to make you aware of the theme of the party (I personally know for a fact) .

You. Simply. Must. Go. Here. PromilleService blows your rave heart out – trust me. I’ve experienced them live several times at Roskilde Festival. Promise to stop by!

18:00-20:00 // free entrance

As part of the Distortion festival Uban Outfitters store will be hosting this event based on the simple theme “pay it forward”. Therefore the store will be giving away small goodiebags and free drinks will be served.

In addition Michael Romaniuk will be displaying some of his work entitled ‘metropolis viridis’. Through his work and choice of material he focuses on the interplay of green and grey.

So you better drop by the UB store, who knows what else might fall into your lap? Besides the Adidas block party is just around the corner.

If you have never been to Flying A in Kronprinsensgade, you definitely should pop by on May 12. The release of the new Palladium sneakers combined with music from Three Attacks, cold beer and good vibes is a great reason to start the weekend earlier.

And have I mentioned the competition where you can win tickets to Roskilde Festival? (more information on their Facebook page)
