Den Anden Side

What Den Anden Side does

Den Anden Side ApS (VAT/CVR 41345659) operates a single underground electronic music nightclub in Copenhagen, Denmark, at Axel Torv 5, 1609 Copenhagen V, beneath one of Denmark's oldest cinemas. The venue opened in November 2022 as the third chapter in a trilogy of similarly named clubs established by the same creative crew (Et Andet Sted, 2017; Ved Siden Af, late 2018; Den Anden Side, 2022). It is owned by four individuals — Sebastian Henriksen (CEO), Johannes Astrup (Booking), Denise Garbov (Art & Awareness), and Jeppe Sejr Bloch (Selection & Security) — with a Bar Manager (Kristina Aleksieieva) among an 8-employee headcount. The two-floor venue features a 450-guest main floor equipped with a full 4-way Funktion-One sound system, podiums and cages, plus an intimate 40-guest secondary floor (Den Anden Ende), main bar and small bar, 400 lockers, and a designated smoking room; operating hours typically span 00:00–08:00/09:00 (main) and 01:00–06:00/07:00 (small).

The venue is positioned as a community-based alternative electronic music space whose monthly programming is largely curated by local promoter collectives spanning techno, trance, bass, and house. Core stated values center on creating a safer space for queers, marginalized people, and those who feel excluded from mainstream nightlife, operationalized through an awareness team present every weekend in bright green shirts, a strict no-photo policy (enforced with stickers at entry), and tiered door selection (Soft, Normal, Strict) calibrated to event type.

Den Anden Side generates revenue across seven streams: event tickets (with ~50 sold online per event via Resident Advisor, the balance at the door), bar sales (drinks, beer, wine, RTDs, alcohol-free options, candy, ice cream), DAS Merch (online shop with worldwide tracked shipping plus on-venue pickup), gift cards (150/300/500/1000 DKK, one-year validity), Clubbemarked market stall rentals, locker/easy-purchase locks at 40 DKK, and earplugs at 10 DKK. Complementary digital distribution includes DAS Radio on SoundCloud, event listings on Resident Advisor and Facebook, and Instagram-led community engagement. Pricing is uniformly in Danish Krone (DKK), and there is no mobile app, no disclosed revenue figure, and no external investment or parent company identified.
