Seaworld x Optika Studio: Ved Siden Af

Tadaaa! Put on those flippers and prepare yourself for another swimming lesson between the dankest concrete walls of central Copenhagen. Seaworld Tekno Klub is back to invite our dear friends and followers for a very wet dream of a high-tide hard-techno hilarity. Once again we are hyped to draw the curtains for a mouthwatering menu of international and local blatantly blasting techno and trance. It’s time to dress up for some serious skinny dipping with the following carefully handpicked stars:

LAURA VAN HAL (she/her) has been on our to-book-list for an unbearable amount of time. Now we are finally ready to fly her in from Amsterdam to make her first public appearance on the danish continent. Laura plays extra-smashing techno with an irresistible amount of groove and soul. It’s fast, it’s stylish and it bangs so hard that even the toughest scoobadancer squirm on the floor.

LASSE VIND (he/him) is no stranger to any person who bothers to read this event text, and we are more than pleased to invite this solid veteran back in the booth, this time for an upstairs adventure. If you for some reason should have forgot, then please let us remind you that Lasse plays trance so trippy and mind-altering that even the most grounded human being will instantly wander into some dark wood to search for answers

Also upstairs we have deep-digging curator of old school and soulful trance, resident ANDERS HORSE (he/him) to open the trance floor. You better get ready for some slippery action when good old horsieboi flips the disks and rocks your hips under the lowest hanging disco ball in the EU.

DJ CUNT (they/them) is the nom d'artiste of a new and brightly shining local star. DJ Cunt plays a very eclectic mixture of many different genres, elegantly weaving together trance, electro, hardstyle, eurohouse and everything in between. It’s crazy, cutting-edge, catchy and perfectly fitted for opening the downstairs floor.

When the sun rise in the sky and the fishing boats return to shore, we have oldtime friend RIESENFELD (he/him) serving you a breakfast of recklessly rolling Birminghamstyle take-no-prisoners tooly techno. It is strongly anticipated that every VSA-visitor will refuse to leave the perimeter when their eardrums are being punished by the brutal boothcontroller Riesenfeld.

Lastly but blastly we of course also have our very own resident bademeister JOHANNES ASTRUP (he/him) entertain the guests. So relax your muscles and take a deep breath while Mr. Astrup rips the downstairs apart with some booth proof bangers until even the karaoke booth of old Irish pub is twostepping as if there’s no tomorrow.

Once again we have invited our favourite three light-musketeers, a.k.a OPTIKA STUDIO to decorate the spectacle with emersive visuals. Prepare to get your retinas stimulated with a flashing masterpiece of outstanding projections, flashing lights, random stuff and whatnot. Bing bong.

VED SIDEN AF SAFER SPACE POLICY

HOUSE RULES:
- Don’t assume pronouns (she/he/they/it +), always ask first.
- Don’t get too intoxicated, know your limits!
- No pictures or videos of any kind inside the club.
- No racism, homophobia, transphobia or sexism.
- No phones on our dancefloors.
- No touching without asking and no means NO!
- No leering, you may look, but don't stare.

NO DISCRIMINATION:
It is our goal that anyone visiting our club, regardless of sexuality, gender, outfit (or lack thereof), body type or ethnicity feels safe and included.
This is a big task to handle all by ourselves, so we kindly ask everyone to keep their eyes and ears open for bad and inappropriate behavior around the club. If you see or experience any harassment and/or unwanted attention, please DO NOT hesitate to contact any of our staff or security with your issue.
Our guests' comfort and well-being is our highest priority and no issue is too small for us to take seriously.
If the discomfort is real to you, it is real to us.

CONSENT:
Consent is the basis of all positive human interactions. In a club setting, consent is a voluntary agreement between two or more people to enjoy a moment together. Unfortunately, we humans are not always very good at expressing our needs and desires. Luckily, there is a very easy solution to this: Respectful and open dialogue. Be it conversation, dance, physical contact, consumption or sexual activites - always be sure, that the other person participates with consent. If you are in doubt, just ask. Asking for consent is cool and awe-inspiring.

SUBSTANCES:
At VSA we strive to create a safer space, and if you cannot take care of yourself, you are making the space less safe. We need you to be as mindful of your own safety, as you are mindful of the safety of your fellow raver. Please think about what you consume and how much. If you feel unwell or notice anybody who might have had too much, don’t hesitate to contact our safety crew. Also, we would like to point out that illegal drugs are as illegal inside the club as outside the club.

NO PHONES ON OUR DANCEFLOORS:
Our space is a place for freedom of expression without the all-seeing eye of social media, therefore photos and videos are not allowed inside our space. Due to this, we demand that everyone leave all cameras, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok etc. in the wardrobe. Breaking this rule will result in an early trip home.
Furthermore, if you are on the dance floor, please refrain from activity on your phone, we created the dance floor for dancing, not for updating yourself on your latest Facebook feed or checking out your new Tinder matches. If you need to use your phone, please go do it in the lobby, lounge or at least not in the middle of a moving floor. It kills the vibe.

SAFER SPACE AMBASSADOR:
VSA’s Safer Space Ambassadors are present at the club in the busy hours to make sure that everybody is having a good time. They are professionals trained to deal with problematic situations related to all of the above points. They are wearing black T-shirts with the Ved Siden Af logo and ‘safer space’ written to mark them. Please do not hesitate to contact them if you experience something unpleasant or have questions.
