Dekmantel Festival

Summer is nearly upon us, and with lots of festivals everywhere, we advise not to miss the return of Dekmantel festival to Amsterdam for 2014. With the likes of Nicolas Jaar recently announced and others such as Mount Kimbie (Now on tour), Jamie XX, Joy Orbison and waves more, its at an easy all [...]

The Last Days of Antje Oeklesund

Apparently another soon-to-be-doomed Berlin venue, Friedrichshain’s Antje Oeklesund is going to host some great DJ action this week: anticon.’s Jel, The Notwist’s Markus Acher, and some Morr Music guys, this Thursday, 9pm at Rigaer Str. 71-73.

A NO IS A NO

Tomorrows absolute highlight: The concert of the singer-songwriter Alin Coen and her band at Huxleys in Berlin! With her catching songs about love and failure, she plays straight into your heart. Some of my favorite songs are A No Is a No and Kein Weg zurück. The Berlin concert is already sold out, but there [...]

Live At The House

Amazingness: Brooklyn’s Grizzly Bear wrapped up their 115 show world tour at the Sydney Opera House three days ago — and we’ve been watching the full 2-hour set (available only for a couple of weeks apparently) about sixteen times since it went live.

THE SOUND OF KICKING LEAVES

Another beautiful poster for a another great opportunity to see The Pastels live, after their latest LP ‘Slow Summits’ was in heavy rotation this summer. This time as support of the German electro-pop quartet Lali Puna.
In order to get attuned, with the perfect autumn soundtrack…

QUICK DRAW

You read in doodles the automatic writing from daydreams. That is to be the philosophy behind Akira Horikawa’s 1000Drawing Project. For five years Horikawa’s regimen of drawing out daily impressions, oneiro-ventures, chances encounters have reaped a thousand images of the funhouse delirium. Fantastic, erotic, and sometimes eerie, with blank-eyed humans stacked and arranged [...]

MONDAYS PRETTY ICONS

The Glasgwegian band Belle & Sebastian favour us with a collection of rarities and non-LP tracks compiled for the new album ‘The Third Eye Centre’, with really nice rewired versions of ‘I’m a Cockoo’ and ‘I didn’t see it coming’. Everyone in Glasgow will have the chance to meet the likeable band today at Monorail [...]

THE SHOWCASE OF THE FEMALE

Sunday read in The Wire. The article looks at the appearance of female DJs at festivals. The statics proved that there is a massive imbalance. The reaction is a festival dedicated to female DJs. Perspectives is going to take place in Berlin, with workshops, talks, club nights with DJs and live performances. You can find the [...]

Berleenhorn Gifs

Don’t get this the wrong way. We do love you all. But this shit is still too funny. We’ve all been there, so it’s laughing about our rookie selves in style, mainly. Reminiscent Gifs appear to be an appropriate way of taking on the everlasting theme of this blog: the Berlin greenhorn. Probably more charming and [...]

POSTSCRIPT: MONO.KLUB #40

A second book launch for our publication with Robert Montgomery that couldn’t have been more different from our initial launch party in Berlin: instead of the grand party in the former swimming pool, an intimate conversation between Robert and myself, which was fun, interesting and very direct, discussing our book, the Berlin summer project, why [...]
