The Djungeltrumman club editor's tips.
Café Rasoir
Address: Café le fil du rasoir, Norra Vallgatan 62
9pm – 1am
Free entry until 10pm, 90 kronor later
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
RevK plays disco from Italy, Finland, Germany, France, Ethiopia and more or less every other country you can think of. Cocktails of the week: Brandy Alexander and Godfather.
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.
First Class Riot
Address: Kulturbolaget, Bergsgatan 18
11.30pm - 4am
60 kronor (20 kronor before 12.30)
Age: 18 and over
Website
What do Daft Punk, Hanson, Stone Roses and Broder Daniel have in common? Maybe not so much at first glance, but they are all artists you can expect to hear at First Class Riot. It's all about pop music here, with the occasional bit of soul, rock, hip hop slipping through the cracks as the exception that proves the rule.
Swim Fast Club
Address: Debaser Malmö, Norra Parkgatan 2
7pm - 3am
Free entry before 10pm, 90 kronor after
Age: 20 and over
It's not east to keep up with Swim Fast Club. With a sixth sense that borders on the supernatural, the club is always first with the latest. Apart form finding out all about what's going on, Swim Fast also ensures plenty of ecstatic dancing to its more or less patented mix of electro and indie.
Tonight
Futurecop! (UK). Manzur Iqbal and Peter Carroll from Futurecop flirt wildly with the 80s with their electronic music produced in Iqbal's basement.
Underlandet
Address: Brogatan, Brogatan 12
11pm - 3am
Free entry
Where Alice in Wonderland hunts a rabbit, club manager Emil Broomé in Wonderland hunts disco. When you've finished your botanic experimentation among the fine selection of beers upstairs, it's time to go down to the cellar, sorry - Wonderland - and hypno-dance to obscure disco. Then it's time for an after-party with the author with the bushy hair.
Tonight
DJ Tiaz.
