Studio For Electronic Musicians – Handwerk Audio

handwerk audio synth studioStudio fanatics and gear heads, we have a special treat for you. We are happy to announce that there is a new studio in techno town, and this one really is a game changer. Berlin’s Handwerk Audio Synth Studio is a one-of-a-kind innovation in music creation, geared entirely (no pun intended) toward the electronic musician/producer/artist. Rather than “traditional” instruments, this studio features an abundance of synthesizers (both analog and digital), keyboards, drum machines, and much more. The studio is owned by Peter Van Hoesen, Marco Freivogel (Exercise One), and  Ricardo Deazcuenaga (birdsmakingmachine). Located in Berlin’s Kreuzberg District, Handwerk Audio is a must-see next time you find yourself in Germany.

Berghain celebrates ten year anniversary, initial line-up announced

Berghain-Venue
Berghain is set for a grand decade birthday celebration on December 13th. Initial line up has been announced including guests and residents Blawan, Shed, Marcel Dettmann, Joy Orbison, Ben UFO, Ben Klock, Gerd Janson and more will take the decks during the two-night, three-day party (starts at Midnight Saturday, ends Monday around Noon) that has been the norm of the Berlin underground venue gaining global recognition as one of the most proper techno parties in the world. More names are expected to be announced in the next few weeks, including the line-up for Panorama Bar (the other half of Berghain). The club’s annual birthday session is usually one of Berlin’s biggest parties each year.

Since being founded in 2004, Berghain has become one of the world’s best-loved clubs. Its list of residents includes numerous top-tier techno and house artists, with high-profile names like Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock and Steffi among the jocks with monthly slots. A notoriously strict door policy has furthered the venue’s reputation, as have its extremely long opening times and regular male-only fetish parties.

well Monday-ish, here’s David August from Boiler Room Berlin earlier this year. You can watch the stream and download the audio file from Boiler Room’s website. Enjoy, and have a great week!
