WORLD’S BEST PARTIES Berlin is the world capital of electronic music, clubs and nightlife. It has the greatest selection and offers, which doesn’t necessari- ly mean it always has the best parties. My favourite parties were in Moscow, Beirut, Seoul and Belgrade. The difference between a good and a bad party is in the people, and in these places people have heart and are energetic, full of emotions and without inhibi- tions.

In the underground scene there is no difference; subcultures are easily connected and recognised inter- nationally. Frankly, I stopped paying at- tention to fashion.
