The Djungeltrumman club editor's tips.
Decades
Address: Retro, Norra Skolgatan 24
10pm - 3am
Free entry
Age: 18 and over
Do your favourite records come from the Factory or Creation labels? Do you feel out of place in modern-day Malmö and feel you belong instead in Manchester circa 1982? Just how many times have you seen 24 Hour Party People? Go to Retro's cellar, where you can form an understanding with people who are equally misunderstood.
Freaks'n'Geeks
Address: Debaser Malmö, Norra Parkgatan 2
7pm - 3am
90 kronor (Free until 10pm)
Age: 20 and over
Nerds and dorks also want to be able to party without risk of having a bucket of pigs' blood poured over them like in the movie Carrie. This autumn they'll find a refuge at Debaser, where mingle girl Sanna and musical fascist Madeleine are creating a bullying free zone, with indie, experimental, lo-fi, indietronica and shoegaze emanating from the speakers. Sports jocks and cheerleaders are not welcome here.
Versus
Address: Bebel, Spångatan 38
11pm - 3am
100 kronor
Age: 20 and over
Techno club Versus can often boast the most exclusive bookings in town. World class artists and DJs guarantee a loyal following from among the ranks of Malmö's hipsters. Versus nights mean lots of dancing, minimalist soundscapes and plenty of people in the know.
Tonight
Live: Incredibly popular producer Stephan Bodzin.
Wonk
Address: A2, Adelgatan 2
11pm 4am
100 kronor (50 kronor until midnight)
Age: 20 and over
Website
There was quite a fanfare when gay club Wonk Deep moved into the new surroundings of A2. But have no fear: Wonk is still very much Wonk. World-renowned DJs do their stuff on three dancefloors: schlager, pop and house. Sip a Sex on the Beach, join in the Karaoke, try out the strippers pole and make yourself at home. PS: Free entry for drag queens.
