MONDAY MUSIC: FOALS

Foals are a reliable sonic choice when we need something to keep us awake at the studio, so any news of a new album is always welcome – their latest, What Went Down, is out now.

MONDAY MUSIC: BEIRUT

After a four year-hiatus, our favourite troubadours Beirut return with a new album that, judging from their new single No No No, sees them return to full form. They are coming to Berlin to play live in a couple of weeks, but alas, it is completely sold out. No no no.

MELODIOUS SOUNDSCAPES

The pioneer of experimental music Hans-Joachim Roedelius is going to be honoured with a three-day festival at Berlin’s Haus der Kulturen Welt.

SINGLE FLAT

The artist Erik Steinbrecher has conceived a new installation for the courtyard of KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin – an accessible platform: SINGLE FLAT (2015) adds a third, even bigger cube to the cubes already present in this yard; those nested within each other in the architecture of Café Bravo, designed by Dan [...]
