Last weekend I discovered that illegal stuff does happen in Stockholm. A tekno party in one of the abandoned Södermalm railroad tunnels. Apparently there’s a whole bunch of these tunnels around Södermalm. The tracks were used to transport the wounded to Södersjukhuset during the war, I learned from Burmester. Actually that got me wondering, what was going on in Sweden during WWII?

Anyway, what could have been awesome turned out to be a classic fail. From the start I thought it was strange that the party was announced on Facebook, but I was thinking hey this is Sweden, maybe it just works here. Unfortunately not, by the time we got there the police had already cleared the area. Too bad because it was a pretty cool idea, building a sound system on a ghost railroad track inside a mountain… And on the bright side, it’s the closest I’ve come so far to hearing real tekno in Sweden. We did actually hear two or three bars of high speed kick drums but that was it.

Better luck next time…
