# A Clubber’s Guide To Stuttgart’s Parties, DJs + Record Stores
## White Noise
[White Noise][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} has two
parts: the first is a bar and cafe, and the second is a nightclub
located directly across from it. Since they're technically the same
establishment, you're free to pass between them with a beer in tow.
White Noise is a 200-capacity, underground counterpart to Club Schocken,
a more commercial nightclub operated by [some of the same people][2]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. The bar, meanwhile, is often
used for concerts, film screenings, book readings, exhibitions and many
an after-work beer. Since it's [one of our favorite clubs in
Germany][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}, this year we
decided to partner with the venue for a series of [Telekom Electronic
Beats Clubnights][4]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} in
Stuttgart. The next one will take place on May 27, 2017 with UK techno
star Pariah playing back-to-back with [Candy Pollard][5]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}, who organizes the popular
Who The Fuck night at White Noise. Find more information about that
event [here][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
## Dresden Bar
After the popular venue Rocker33 closed a few years ago, its co-owners
devised its predecessor: Dresden Bar. They opened it in 2013 in a former
gay bar [one level up][7]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
from the ground floor, so the space feels somehow secluded despite its
central location in Stuttgart. On weekend nights there's more on offer
than a drink in a nice ambience, as it's not unusual for local heroes
like Common Sense People's Leif Müller and Konstantin Sibold to play
there.
## Common Sense People
The [story][8]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} of the
popular local party and DJ duo [Common Sense People][9]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} begins with two school
friends from a small city outside Stuttgart: Konstantin Sibold and Leif
Müller. The pair started DJing at school dances, which gave them a solid
technical foundation and following. When they threw their first
Thursday-night non-school-related event, they brought out an impressive
number of people that more than justified their continued existence in
the Stuttgart club scene. The regular night used to happen at the
now-defunct Rocker33, and since its original home base closed it now
often takes place at White Noise. The night has become a nice launching
pad for the founders own DJ careers; you can hear more about that in our
recent EB.tv feature on Sibold, who has released with labels like
Innervisions and Running Back.

## Tatti Café + Bar
The fact that local press has [described Tatti as a "hipsterbar"][11]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} should give you some idea of
what to expect from this bar and cafe. Its carefully designed white
decor sets a nice vibe for a coffee in the morning or a beer and some
ping-pong in the afternoon. And if you really love it, you can pick up
one of their popular shirts or socks, which you're likely to see walking
around the city---and perhaps even abroad!

## Condesa Cafe + Bar
Condesa [originally appeared][12]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener
noreferrer"} in Stuttgart as a pop-up cafe in the popular Marienplatz
area that was only meant to last one month. But luckily they managed to
extend their stay, so you can swing by for a sweet treat or a nice
espresso.
## Pauls Musique Records
[Pauls Musique][13]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} is a
must-see destination for serious house and techno heads passing through
Stuttgart. The intimate store is known for its careful curation and
commitment to high-quality music from labels that span house, techno,
downbeat and electronica. Not only is Pauls a hub for well-known
international DJs---some of whom play at the store's Wednesday night
parties, a.k.a. the MRRRR Raves---but it's also the label office for
Philpot Records, which Soulphiction and Tobias Ettle have run since
2000. Philpot's artists, like many of the physical store's offerings,
blend house, techno, jazz and soul in unique contemporary compositions.
On its roster are [DJ Koze][14]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener
noreferrer"}, Basic Soul Unit and [Move D][15]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"}. Those unable to make it to downtown
Stuttgart any time soon can follow Pauls Musique on their podcast
series, [Pauls Musique Adventures][16]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener
noreferrer"}.
## Second Hand Records
[Second Hand Records][17]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}
isn't too far from Pauls Musique, but it offers a profoundly different
record stock. The 33-year-old store [is said][18]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"} to house more than 50,000 LPs, CDs and
singles, all of which are sold at special spring and autumn sales for
[no more than 1€ each][19]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}.
Though it offers electronic music of various shades, visitors to Second
Hand Records can also find large amounts of metal, rock and world music.
The store is a frequent stopping point for bands on tour, so if you're
in town, it's worth checking out if there's anything exciting happening
there.
## Kitjen
The popular record label [Kitjen][20]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener
noreferrer"} started out [a few years ago][21]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"} as a party in a basement hosted by DJ and
label boss Igor Tipura. The imprint has released five records since it
launched in 2015 and boasts an artist roster that includes Shit Robot,
Suzanne Kraft, Fantastic Man and Lauer. Tipura's affinity for
retro-gazing Italo, balearic house and buoyant and electro-leaning
electronica are evidenced in his party series, which has moved from
Stuttgart's underbelly to the more formal venue [White Noise][1]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}. He has hosted Young Marco,
Kasper Bjørk and various Kitjen residents in his frequent event series.
