DD REVIEW: GMF

Discodamaged hasn't been to GMF since it moved over a year ago.  We re-visited it at Weekend, it's new location, on a quiet Winter Sunday and we weren't expecting very much, but we were in for a pleasant surprise. The new location is in a 15 storey office block near Alexander Platz. You can spot it by the silhouettes of the dancers up in the sky. Weekend is on the 12th and 15th floors. A bank of 8 lifts greet you in the lobby and you are whisked upstairs by the efficient and friendly lift attendants. These guys serve you all night as you yo-yo between the 12th and 15th floors. Both floors are equipped with dance floors, bars and large comfortable seating areas. On one floor smoking is allowed and on the top floor there is a terrace. It was closed but we hear that it's great, with spectacular views, when it's open in the Summer.

The DJs on the night were Rummy Sharma (Delhi/India), Namito on the 12th floor "Weekend" and Polla Disaster on the 15th. It was full but with plenty of elbow room and seating space. Mikki the manager modestly said “We aren’t very busy tonight”. On the 15th, smoking, floor the music varied from danceable anthems to, well, chart hits. On the other floor the music was harder and better.  The crowd were young (20’s), enthusiastic and friendly. Some find them too queeny. The toilets were cruisy and clean – they really need a darkroom but that’s probably impossible as the venue runs many other straight nights.

Definitely worth a visit.

Been again 2012, excellent night.

GMF - DD Review

We paid  a repeat to visit to GMF at Café Moscow. It was much more fun than the previous time when they were having some kind of hair dressers convention. Not so many girls, lots of young cute looking gay Berlin guys.  The music was good upstairs (90's / 90's classics) and better downstairs (hard techno and house), they danced a lot. I even got a surprise fuck from some off-his-tits lad in the toilet. Age range 20s and up, mostly gay.

GMF moved to Weekend in September 07. It's divided on the 12th and 15th floor of the club which some say is a nuisance. But they still say it's a great gay venue to visit and the views are great. And we've been there a couple of times since most recently early 2012. Great night on the 15th floor and the lifts are quite fun. In the summer they have a huge balcony with a great view of Berlin. Still have to experience that.
