November is that time of the year many regard as dark, but funnily enough, Stockholm gives us many sparkly and enlightened ways to have fun and keep our minds away from the gloomy weather conditions. Such as the Stockholm Film Festivals, where stars of the movie world shine on the red carpets of the city’s cinemas and the light of the projectors on the screens takes us to worlds we have only dreamed of. Stockholm itself also starts glittering, when the streets are dressed with the Christmas decorations. No, this is not a dark time, it’s a time to see the light in different shapes.
Here are some of the glittering events you should not miss this month!

Recondite @ Slakthuset
Slakthusgatan 6, 121 62 Johanneshov, SwedenRECONDITE LIVE (berlin – dystopian, innervisions, afterlife)
You saw him last in Stockholm when he performed a magical live set on the big stage under Department festival. Now he comes back for his first major headline play at Slakthuset.
What makes Lorenz Brunner aka Recondite extremely unique is his ability to create music that can completely crush any dance floor, but which also makes you feel something every time you hear it. He is like a traveler stuck between two worlds and one hears influences and sounds from both the concrete city and the soft nature. It can go from hard to soft in no time. It is an incredibly beautiful melancholy that arises in Recondite’s productions where it feels like every sound has a thought and a message.
Line up
