hi,
living for years in Berlin --- and the only thing is what i can say: Soul Scene is growing!
Many nice small locations, but a little bit confusing for "tourists" ... The best IMO the "LIDO" At The Soul Inn. But closed the doors in August i think
Residents were Christian Göbel and Kristian Auth (Soul Scene Cologne with Matt Fox)
Many great UK Djs played there sessions in the LIDO: Callum Simpson, Wayne Napier Gibbins ... French Guy Laurent Reus and Mr. Optical Sound.
Was great Time ...
I like personally the SoulCat in Neukölln, small but great atmosphere if the right tracks are coming. Changes daily between Northern, R´n`B, Garage, Latin and Popcorn.
Another Garage Store is in Kreuzkölln called Wowlsville. Nice location with bordering record-store (mainly 45s) in the back.
I Think Marc Forrest do some great Sessions aswell weekly ... but i´m not sure.
i hope that fits ... let me know if you could enjoy your BerlinWeek
