Den Anden Side

Located at the city center below one of Denmark's oldest cinemas, the club is a community-based alternative electronic music venue established with the aim of transforming Copenhagen’s nightlife scene and presenting a safer, more inclusive and more responsible way of partying. The greater part of the monthly programmes are curated by a variety of local promoter collectives, spanning from techno, trance, Bass and house music. Each night is different, and often the events have artistic profiles not only limited to sound, but also involving political messages, visuals and art installations. Being an underground electronic music venue, the music profile of the club is leaning towards the harder side of dance music with an emphasis on trance and techno. But however hard the music, the vibe of the club is always cute and the DJ lineups are presented with a playful attitude. Den Anden Side is actually the third chapter in a trilogy of similarly named clubs, the first one being Et Andet Sted that opened back in 2017. Discreetly located in the city outskirts, Et Andet Sted served intimate warehouse vibes for the curious Copenhagen ravers for about a year. In late 2018 Ved Siden Af opened its doors to a mazy basement in the city center and the new club quickly became infamous for wild parties and a strict no-photo policy. By 2022 the creative crew behind the clubs felt that the community had outgrown Ved Siden Af, and that the concept needed a bigger space. Throughout this history the core values and vision have been the same: To create a safer space for queers, marginalized people and people who just don’t feel that they fit in in most other places; A place where they can express themselves free from judgment or unwanted attention.
