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!

Sono Unica presents Cosmjn & Lizz @ Under Bron

COSMJN and LIZZ both pay careful attention to the craft of production and are accompanied by a slick style of track selection. When these two team up, it means some serious business on the floor. Better get ready for an intoxicating and trippy pilgrimage into the minimal void.
