Malmö club and concert tips: Friday, Dec 12

Babel/Concert

Address: Babel, Spångatan 38

8pm – 11pm

120 kronor

Sick of getting stuck behind basketball players, guys with massive afros or girls with silly hats when you go to see your favourite band or biggest idol? Babel’s mezzanine enables you to avoid climbing up on somebody’s shoulders to see what’s happening on stage. A free view, tasty drinks and good sound: what more can you ask for when you go to a concert? Good music, presumably. Relax: Babel will see to that.

Tonight

Live: The Five Corners Quintet. Raw postmodern jazz from Finland.

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

Harry White and revK (Stephen Hawkings and Disco Noir) play synth-laden disco from southern Europe.

I LOVE! Brenda Walsh

Address: Babel, Spånggatan 38

11pm – 3am

80 kronor (60 kronor before midnight)

Age: 20 and over

The number of people making their way to ILBW bears witness to the genius of combining the two clubs I LOVE! and Brenda Walsh. It’s always packed, sweaty and pulsating when the trio consisting of Sofia, Emilia & Maria play hot house and pounding techno. Dance, flirt, dance some more, make out, and don’t forget to make every second drink a water.

Tonight

Guest DJ: Adeline Supreme.

Swim Fast Club

Address: Debaser Malmö, Norra Parkgatan 2

7pm – 3am

Free entry before 10pm, 90 kronor after

Age: 20 and over

Website

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

Live: Poni Hoax (FR). Support: Das Pop (BEL). An essential night out for all emotronica-loving Francophiles.

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 spins the discs.
