Kissen x Sugar Slip — flucc Wanne, 30 April

note: both of these events have given us one free ticket upon our request - we are committed to being honest in our reviews in any case, but are prioritising the “sponsored” gigs in our as you see very limited reviewing energy :P

Starting off in the category “I should’ve written this review much sooner and also been more sober at the party to better write it” – I can say I had a great time at this party. On the one hand, atmosphere-wise, this was absolutely a case of asking myself why I have known of Kissen and Sugar Slip for so long but never actually gone to a party of theirs. Just allover sexy, friendly, groovy vibes. Musically, I might struggle with genre names even if the conditions were friendlier towards my memory – what I can say is that coming from a more hyperpop-y and more overtly experimental/deep-fried direction of queer partying, I had the desire to explore a clubbing experience with music that’s a bit more subtle and less maximalist/overstimulating, and I do wanna say this is pretty much what I got! Also of note are the three amazing dancers, Layla Jawhara, Kaisa, and Oleksii, who did awe-inspiring and sexy stuff on the stage for what felt like hours, Krohm playing not only her solo slot but until the very end of the party b2b with Yves, and the decision to place the DJs at audience level – while this might have been to make space for the dancers, it had the added effect of connecting audience and DJs more. Also very trans-femme-forward! Big recommendation all around 💖
