Quickie with Stathis & Luigi
Nightlife Besties
Berlin! We’re hosting an all-nighter on Friday with party collective Power Dance Club, fronted by Stathis Tsitinis and Luigi Di Venere. Originally from Italy and Greece, the twosome met in Berlin 14 years ago (or maybe it was 16 or 17, depending on who you ask) at Cocktail d’Amore and were having so much fun they forgot to pay for the U-Bahn on their way to Berghain. Apparently, being chased down the platform by the Fahrkartenkontrolleur was a real bonding experience. The rest is rave history. Outside of their own night, they’re also residents at the world’s most notorious gay sex club — Lab.oratory. We checked in to see just how well they know each other.
