Enghaveparken behind Enghave Plads, Copenhagen V Show map

The annual festival for the celebration of electronic music is about to hit the parks, streets and venues of Copenhagen.

Allthough STRØM is only hosting its fourth edition this year it has evolved each year presenting the city as a dynamic capital when it comes to broadcasting a strong selection within the electronic music scene. Check out the homepage for more info and a full line up.

Here is a brief overview of some of the free or cheap pleasures during the festival:

14 August: Sounds from the Meat Packing District
@Jolene, Flæsketorvet 85 // 17:00-03:00
Go visit Jolene Bar and listen to nice tunes from Ed Davenport (UK/GER) and Danish artists like Waqar, Zzzune, Candy Crack, Christian Alexander, Emil Boserup, Philip Flindt and Kristian.

16 August: Trans Metro Express
@Copenhagen Metro, departure from Vestamager Station // 19:00-21:00
As part of STRØM you can hop on the metro train and experience an audio journey through the city literally speaking.
Enjoy soundscapes from Rumpistol, Eloq, JSL and Maffi. And remember it’s free – all you need is a valid metro ticket.

21 August: REWIND & STRØM Final Party
@TAP-E (the old Carlsberg), Pasteursvej 20, Copenhagen V // 23:00 until late // 80 Dkk
Expect nothing less than a bang of a party when N-Type is dropping by the old Carlsberg. As one of the leading dubstep selectors one might expect him carrying around some serious goodies in his bag containing the latest dubplates. Among others the line up will also include F-One and JJ Louis.

You can follow the walking soundsystem from the concerts in Enghaveparken directly to TAP-E. Otherwise just follow the torches…or the electric flow.

Friday 18:00 – Sunday 01:00 // 100-300 Dkk (depending on pass)

Once again it’s time for the annual celebration of art and music put together in one big lovely package of genuine respect for the artists who dare to challenge.

The Trailerpark festival organized and produced by Artrebels is already known for its charming ability to master the difficult art of balancing between experimental artistic expressions and music and dj features.

So sit tight and enjoy sweetness from Danish artists like Vinnie Who, Fallulah and Chimes & Bells, Prinzhorn Danceschool from UK or German djs like DJ Hell and Krause Duo among others.

With a mixed constellation of both Copenhagener and international artists the Artrebels crew will show you that vibrant and colorful expression has much to say.

Are colors the new black? Decide for yourself during the last weekend of July. We look forward to say hello to all of you!

@ Viktoriagade 22 (corner to Istedgade), Copenhagen V
22:00-05:30 // Free entrance

Usually we frequently write about openings or launch parties but seldom we mention events within the closing area.

After a short but powerful life the nightclub Ritz is closing. In a very short time Ritz succeeded in creating a place where partying and music was given a higher priority than stylish cocktail glasses or cool interior.

But now Ritz has entered its last phase so this is your last chance to do a ’shoulder by shoulder two step’ on the dance floor, enjoy the cheap Mojitos in plastic cups or kiss in the back of the smoking room.

At this last party you can surely expect an inferno of dancing and partying with blood, sweat and tears dripping down the walls.
