Cat sick at lab

Question: Who would design a T-Shit to promote their club that was the colour of cat sick? Answer: Lab.oratory. Maybe they were trying for a mixture of shit and piss - that figures.

Jack was there a few days ago and bought one for 10 €. In the gloomy light and after a few pints Jack was not sure of the colour and he asked (in German) if it was white. The burly doorman said 'Yes' very firmly. Typical Berlin customer service: Lie to them!

Snax FC Dec 1

It's Snax FC on Saturday December 1. We avoid the Easter Snax which is usually over full with tourists in expensive rubber gear who don't seem to know what to do. Jack missed the first Snax FC last year, due to excessive partying the nights before, and heard that it was very fresh and good. He was gutted. Note to Jack: Stay in on Friday and be fit for Saturday - he'll be there. Snax FC is at lab.oratory and Berghain starting 11pm on Saturday December 1. Sexual athletes wanted.

Sascha, stories of a Berlin escort

Sascha, who has reported for us before, says he branched out into a bit of escort work. Sadly he didn't have much business last weekend, so he had to have unpaid fun. Click the headline to read what he did at Lab, Chantals House of Shame, Boiler Sauna, Scheune and Bull.

Pooh alert lab.oratory / Berghain

Is there no limit to what they do in Berlin? And lab.oratory leads the way. It's an amazing industrial sex club and part of Berghain, though there is an arm's length relationship. Occasionally they combine with Berghain for huge sex parities like Snax and Smegma which is straight and one of the few occasions when women are allowed into lab.

Lab have a scat party two or three time a year. Our anonymous sources on the staff has told Discodamaged said that the clear up job is pretty grim. Recently lab have introduced a new 'Filthy farm' party and some bright spark has come up with the idea of having one straight after the other. Lab used to be closed for four days after the scat party, this month after the scat party on Saturday August 25, they have made a change. Filthy farm follows the next day at 16:00. Is that to muck out the cow shed? Nice one boys!

And for those innocents queuing to get into Berghain: If it smells funny that night, it's probably not your friend farting.
And for those innocents who do not know what scat means: They shit on each other - we suppose.

Open Air Sex at Lab

Lab.oratory have opened a new outdoor  area. It's not in the same place as the old garden which had shrunk last year. That's now vanished completely and been replaced with a much bigger area with at least two slings. It seems to go right up to and under the Berghain garden, so we're looking forward to the next Sunday afternoon naked sex party. Outdoor sex and kicking music. That'll be June 3.

Dress code sportswear + sneaker DJs Mark Broom, Fiedel, Roman Lindau, nd_baumecker, Mr. Ties and Prosumer. Berghain is at Wriezener Karree, Berlin-Friedrichshain

LEAVE A COMMENT PLEASE

In lab.oratory last Friday 29/7/11 and it was more crowded than ever: over 300 guys some just socializing some getting more intimate. I met a handsome Irishman called Neil who said the review here was SHIT. After polite enquiries he revealed that the review gives the impression the lab is just a gay sex club.  Yes, it is quite a social event on Fridays, so a good day to come for the shy folk, but there's still plenty of sex action for those who want to go further. I asked Neil to leave a comment. He hasn't done so yet. And the next day it was the mud party. Friends said that was superb. Marcus never got out of the mud tub.

We always like your views, especially when you disagree. Please leave comments of your experiences! And Neville you Irish charmer, I hope I got your name right, I'm still waiting.

EDITORIAL ASSISTANT WANTED

Discodamaged is always looking for new high quality assistants and Jack has come across a young man Carlos who he interviewed informally during a typical sleazy Berlin weekend. Click the headline for Carlos's account of the grueling process in some huge wellies, Le Moustache, lab.oratory, Bull and elsewhere. Any views on whether Discodamaged should take him on?

lab.oratory - DD review

Lab.oratory is the best equipped hard core sex club in Berlin. That probably makes it the best in the world. It's worth visiting just for the architectural design. It is in the same building as Berghain and the entrance is round the side. The listings magazines and the website don’t really tell you that. It’s secret! They also don’t say what the dress code is on a Friday. In fact there is none. Clothing, or lack of it, ranged from nothing to jeans and T-shirt. You are only allowed to enter between 22.00 and 24.00. There is a bar and the rest is a huge maze / dark room. The equipment is first class Teutonic industrial.

The Friday I visited there were about 100 people there. They use the number-on-you-arm paying system. I was rolling a joint with a nice guy and he wanted to get a beer. I showed him the number 266 on my arm and he was able to get one for me too. So civilized. I f*cked him after the joint.

In addition to the bar / maze with the uncountable slings, beds, cubicles and other equipment, there are two upstairs bits, one downstairs bit and, in the summer, a backyard. One upstairs bit is a smallish room with a sling, the other was a very busy darkroom within a darkworld. The downstairs / cellar bit was smallish, tiled and smelt of piss. The ceiling was open … It wasn’t in use that I saw, but they do have piss nights. There are good proper water showers down by the toilets. The concrete yard has benches and small play areas. Interestingly, there's a fine view of it from the tops floors of the fire station behind Berghain.

Top Tip: If you go to lab.oratory you can jump the queue into Berghain later. Get a stamp as you leave. Yuo may even get into Berghain free if you ask nicely.

What do lab.oratory, Monster Ronsons and Barbie Deinhoffs have in common? Answer: very dumb bar policies. Click the headline to read on and find out why.

JACK AT LAB

Jack was down at lab.oratory last Sunday for their regular naked afternoon gay sex party on the first Sunday of each month. The weather had at last turned warm, so he anticipated some fucking fun in the sun. And indeed he had it. The guys were fucking busy out there.

There was a comic incident. At one moment Rummelsnuff, the beefy doorman, came out into the garden fully dressed with two other dressed men. One of them was wearing very sexy black overalls and he was quite the object of attention from the naked fuckers. Jack thought that the afternoon had gone over to some uniform event. But no.

The visitors looked carefully at some things on the wall and made notes. It looked like some kind of safety or insurance inspection. The fuck fest continued uninterrupted and the visitors lingered in the garden sipping drinks for fifteen minutes as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. So Berlin!

lab.oratory spokespeople declined to comment on the reason for the visit.

LADY GAGA IN LAB.ORATORY

Lady Gaga was in Berlin last Tuesday for a concert at the O2 centre and some awards. Afterwards she hire lab.oratory for her own private party there on Tuesday night. Staff at lab said it was all great fun. Sorry we failed to warn you about this in advance. The Daily Star Sunday, a celeb rag, reported it wildly inaccurately. The said "A well-placed mole told us: 'There’s no VIP treatment and no guestlist so she was hanging out with all the semi-naked clubbers and drag queens.' Erm, Tuesday night Berghain and lab were officially closed. Read more bollocks here.

SLIME FOUND IN LABORATORY

Six times a year they have a slime party at lab.oratory, industrial scale Berlin sex club, in the same building as Berghain. Discodamaged had heard great things about this party and sent Jack to visit on 30th January when they had the most recent one. The dress code is naked so he took his oldest trainers, a spare pair of socks, a towel and a fuck-buddy. The weather was still freezing and snowy – Berlin has had snow on the ground since Christmas – so clubs and bars have been poorly attended. Those softy queers are snuggled up at home on the sofa under a blanket. Lab.oratory was no exception and there were only about 100 people there which leaves it feeling a bit empty. But there was plenty of sexy fun to be had. Click the headline to read more.
