OK, am awake enough now for comments. Yeah, fantastic place. Munich 4004 - they've done nearly everything right! Great layout, great lighting. If I was to design a club it would be very similar this. Dancefloors surrounded by raised level lounging areas so that between flinging yourself around like a loon you can do some decent people watching. I loved those all those cushions - and the Hookah pipes. I've been complaining about KPO/Kultfabrik for years. This is very close to the alternative that I've been dreaming about.
I say "nearly" everything right. The biggest let down was the absolutely appalling music. At one stage I was in the main hall and they were playing Michael Jackson's Thriller. Not some modern jumped up trance-dance version mind you, but the orginal!

So I think, fine. They are advertising as catering to all tastes. So I wander through to the next hall. "Relax" by Frankie goes to Holywood. Erm, OK. Next hall, "Last Christmas" by Wham. Round in a circle and back to the main hall and we've since moved on to some German pop song that I've only ever heard at the
Oktoberfest. And the place is jumpin' as all the Germans sing along. And so it goes on. The only hall which was playing consistently half decent music was the Cubatinos room. I was in there for about an hour and they had all the black stuff like Beyonce, 50 cent, Bad Boys inc, Blu Cantrell, etc. The other three halls, however, were just unbelievably bad. I guess the Germans must love it though. And the rest of you continental Europeans too. I saw you air-guitarring to Bryan Adams' Summer of 69, San. How do you live with yourself?
Just kidding. So you had fun. So did I. But if they could get in some half decent DJ's instead of this Tom Novy nonsense, as Big C suggested, then it'd be perfect. I suppose Oakenfold is too much to hope for. But Tiesto or Dick van Dyk would be enough, those two come to Munich often enough. Whatever, just a bit of trance now and again. Please!!!
Still, I guess they know what they're doing. I expected 4004 to be half empty. It wasn't. It was totally packed. Throughout the entire 4004 square meters you could hardly move. Pretty impressive. They obviously got the marketing spot on. We'll see if it continues.
As for the coats. Well, I did the usual English thing and went without. I've never understood why you Europeans insist on taking coats and bags to a club. I mean, no shit, 5,000 people hanging coats in a wardrobe? It's guaranteed to be a major headache. You always, but always, have to wait for hours in the cloakroom queue. Enduring 2 minutes of cold between taxi and club never hurt anyone.
