Somewhere buried deep beneath a pile of books and a weighty conscious was the plan of getting things done over the weekend. Genuine plans of reading books, big ideas of making calls abroad, wishful thinking about cleaning bedrooms, bathrooms (ha!) and even vague intentions of visiting your local bürgeramt on Monday morning for some quality time with all those friendly-faced bureaucratic pen pushers. Then your sneaky hand logged you into facebook, you rode your cyber spaceship to residentadvisor.net, or accidently clicked your way to restrealitaet.de and realised that Berlin had other plans for you. Operation Plan B. 

The quality of music is the prime make-or-break factor of any party's success. The variety of people that turn up is almost equally crucial to the atmosphere that is achieved. And then, along with the sound systems, comes the colossal importance of location location location! Tonight, Proud Magazine delivers you location supremacy, hitting the cool-factor location nail directly on the head by filling up an old underground Prenzlauerberg bunker with ten hours of local up-and-coming DJs at Proud Underground: Im Bunker.

From bunkers to boats, veteran Berlin party organisation, Betriebsfeier, once again occupies the riverside Hoppetosse tonight to bring you another lengthy session of techno, house and everything that comes along with those two precious party words. The latest addition of these much adored celebrations  -  which are delivered four times a year on a floating restaurant boat in Friedrichshain  -  includes local favourites Empro, Jens Bond and Coco.

Wax Treatment treats electronic music connoisseurs to an excellent selection of DJs at Horst Krzbrg this weekend, offering a realistic Sunday night alternative to Berghain / Panorama Bar's eternally munificent programs. The night will feature forward-thinking electronic music fans' beloved forward-thinking Romanian music man, Cosmin TRG, along with Ostgut's old faithul BH resident, Norman Nodge plus CGB-1.

On Saturday night, the Schluck den Druck boys host another mini festival at M.I.K.Z club. Featuring a set from the band along with other live music and a huge range of acts / DJs, Schluck den Druck lädt ein: Rausch mit Freunden auf der Hüpfburg plays an important role in nourishing new Berlin-based talent and giving developing musical enthusiasts the chance to mingle with established acts and prove their worth to a large audience.

Bang Bang also has two pairs of guestlist places to give away for the Visions Night at Prince Charles on Saturday night, featuring Dillon Francis, Melé and Brenmar  -  the 19 year old New Yorker already hailed by FACT Magazine and Dazed & Confused as one of the brightest new talents coming through in 2011.
