The Djungeltrumman club editor's tips.

Backlash

Address: Babel, Spånggatan 38
11pm - 3am
100 kronor
Age: 20 and over

Are you looking for a night out with a glass of red wine and some nondescript lounge music? Then Backlash is not for you. Everybody else can celebrate the fact that Staffan (Drama!) has started a club where dance takes centre stage. The music is untz in its purest form: messy electro, noisy techno, and powerful ghetto. Reclaim the dance floor!

Tonight

Live: Larry Tee (Brooklyn/NYC). DJ: San-One (Kartellen), Staffan (resident/Drama), Mona Masri (resident/Din Gata)


Blades Disco Club

Address: Retro, Norra Skolgatan 24
10pm - 3am
Free entry
Age: 20 and over

The best way to use a cellar is to put a disco club in it. This is something that Dansmusen and Ida Session have understood as they prepare to welcome Möllan bohemians and disco gurus to four nights of disco this season. And the best thing is: it's free.


Café Rasoir

Address: Café le fil du rasoir, Norra Vallgatan 62
9pm – 1am
Free entry
Age: 20 and over

This French-sounding gem is located right down at the bottom of the Hotel Savoy. The club has attracted work weary Malmö residents for atmospheric tête à têtes over a glass of red wine. Given that it's a steakhouse, there are oysters, snails and entrecôte on offer. But you can just as easily go there to enjoy a classic cocktail in the award-winning bar section. By night this is a meting place for the city's representative's of bohemian chic, discussing important matters in the glow of candlelight.

Tonight

Oriental lounge and house with Ali af Atie. Cocktail of the week: Tequila Sunrise and Cape Cod.


Get laid or die tryin'

Address: Debaser Malmö, Norra Parkgatan 2
9pm - 3am
90 kronor (Free until 10pm)
Age: 20 and over

Entertainment journalists Cajsa, Josefin and Tara focus mainly on top pop at their fantastically named club Get laid or die tryin'. According to the ladies however, the credibility level drops as the evening wears on. Prepare to flip out to embarrassing songs and get involved in rock-the-boat games toward the small hours. Hey, see it as a good warm-up for all the frightful stuff you're going to get up to later on at the after-party.

Tonight

Montt Mardié, Gaby and the Guns, and Lorentz & M.Sackarias will each be playing one of their own songs as well as an interpretation of a Christmas standard.


Kartellen

Address: Inkonst, Bergsgatan 29
11pm - 3am
60 kronor (30 kronor before midnight)
Website

The club Kartellen is held in the foyer of Inkonst, and where better than these premises form the 1920s to mix an old-fashioned freak show with modern club culture.

Resident DJs Baby Doll and San One are joined by guest female artists and DJs for so,e hard crunk, old school booty rap, ghettotech and electro.

Maximize your club circus experience with a candy floss insulin shock and release your sexy inner clown.

Tonight

LadyBox (Den), BabyDoll & San-One, and Din FavoritPolack.


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.
