#throwbackthursday 📷 from inside the DJ booth at Berlin Nightclub during Bittersweet’s 4th anniversary party in 2014, which was the first one held there, with @scaryladysarah & @djgreghaus . I truly loved the years that Berlin was the home venue of Bittersweet (2014 - 2023ish) and I’m very much looking forward to checking out the new club opening in its former location soon- The Belmont / Decibel (dB)!
