It’s swim time again! Blow up your floats and emerge yourself in a deep blue pool of delicious techno and trance. Your most trusted lifeguards - Seaworld Tekno Klub crew – are back again with a delicate assortment of fruit de mer to please your picky techno and trance palette. The menu of the evening will consist of a tailslapping microplastic-free 6 movement symphony:
GABRIELLA VERGILOV (she/her) is stewarding the (jog) wheel for the first part of the cruise. This Bulgarian superstar is nothing less than a hurricane in the booth. She has just dropped her EP “I Am Here Now” on techno legend Ben Sims own record label, and is ready to express her unconditional love for groovy and spacey techno for the beat-hungry VSA aquatic audience.
The main course of the night is a 3 hour set by Argentinian, Barcelona-based techno legend JONAS KOPP (he/him), who is visiting Ved Siden Af for the very first time. This icon has a long backlog of releases on notorious labels such as Tresor and Ostgut Ton, and we are especially excited about his smashing “Less Is More” series on his own label Tremsix. Jonas has promised to deliver an extra banging set especially designed to entertain the picky Copenhagen club-goers – so be sure to greet him with your most welcoming waves of love.
To conduct the downstairs closing ceremony, we have invited 50% of the new Copenhagen duo SXXC: SIGNE ALARCÓN (she/her) is a rising star and will definitely serve VSA a merciless brunch buffet. So prepare to roll out your mat for a session of soaking hot morning yoga accompanied by the sweet sound of frantically slamming tunes.
Naturally, our very own resident swim teacher JOHANNES ASTRUP (he/him) will also be ready to splash out a gulf stream of bouncy grooves, hard techno and everything in between downstairs. Please beware of very slippery floors.
For the upstairs trance menu, we are very happy to have LASSE VIND (he/him) back in the booth. If you for some reason should have forgotten, 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 woods to search for answers.
And as so many times before, the upstairs trance floor will be herded by our very own trusty steed, ANDERS HORSE (he/him). Once again, he has been drinking from the pool of trance, and is ready to invite everybody on yet another oldschool, psychedelic horseback ride.

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.
