In today’s podcast, I chat with Uli Wombacher, who is the director of one of Berlin’s most prestigious nightclubs, Watergate.For the first time since the club was forced to close in March due to the lockdown, Watergate are hosting a club night again, but this time it’s virtually! The event, that takes place on Friday 10th July, will be streamed on a new online platform called YMO, which operates as an interactive space that brings the club experience to life in all its facets in a virtual way.    Watergate will be opening it’s 2 rooms plus terrace, with an internationally renowned line up of DJs, live acts and Watergate residents who will be going to play for free, including Pan-Pot, Adana Twins, Who Made Who (LIVE), JAMIIE, Anja Schneider B2B Kristin Velvet, Biesmans (LIVE) and Yulia Niko.    You can join the event alone, and meet new people, or invite your friends and have your own private party of up to 5 people. You can meet for a little get together in the toilets, where voice chat is enabled and there’s even a  ‘Call The Bouncer’ option which allows clubbers to report any inappropriate behavior, racism or discrimination. They really have through of everything!   Join the party here:  https://ywo.water-gate.de/
