PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #03: FLANEUR

Flaneur magazine came out of nowhere (Berlin, that is) and turned out to be one of the great editorial surprises in recent years, and very successfully so. Their concept is downright minimalistic: every issue explores not just a city, but a specific street within a city – from Kantstrasse in Berlin for their debut issue [...]

PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #02: CEE CEE

Berliners who have any interest whatsoever in what’s going in our favourite city will be no strangers to Cee Cee – the weekly newsletter offering a handpicked selection of things to do and see, from bars and restaurants to events and hidden gems and curiosities. Initially started by journalist Nina Trippel and graphic designer Sven [...]

PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #01: BERLIN QUARTERLY

We’ve gathered some of the finest magazine projects to come out of Berlin during the past ten years for a casual talk on independent publishing this Friday, which we’ll introduce in a little more detail over the next few days.

MONO.KLUB #48: 10 YEARS MONO.KULTUR / PART 02

Dear Friends,
talk is nice and good, and when we will have satisfied our minds with our roundtable discussion with likeminded publishing projects, it is time to take care of the body at our 10th anniversary bash this coming Friday, 02. October 2015, at Acud Macht Neu.
Moving downstairs into Acud’s club & bar, we’ve invited three [...]

MONO.KLUB #48: 10 YEARS MONO.KULTUR / PART 01

We’ve been doing our best to put together some entertainment for body and mind as the occasion demands, and it’s time [...]

NET-ROMANTICS

Keep a Secret by George Clanton (formerly Mirror Kisses) never stops to just please but pleasures. Lush vaporwave-ish synths and whistles frame Clanton’s decidedly sad-boy wails, and it works without sounding too retro. Here’s to velvety electropop you can dream to.

IF IN LONDON…

This week’s recommendations are two events taking place in South London, both highlighting the work and music of producer Terre Thaemlitz aka DJ Sprinkles. Café OTO presents an evening of talk, video and audio with Thaemlitz, starting with a multi-media reading of “Naisho Wave Manifesto” (“Secrecy Wave Manifesto”), which Thaemlitz produced for the first issue [...]

THE LITTLE THINGS

Every moment is worth capturing, according to Martin Adolfsson, Daniel J Wilson, and Kevin Siwoff’s smartphone project minutiae. You download an app that notifies all participants  several times a day simultaneously for 3.9 years. Once you get the notification, you take a photo of something around you at the moment–or not. An pithy metonymy of internet culture, minutiae [...]

CRIMES OF PASSION
