Press Info (German):
Scanning Backwards, das zweite Soloalbum von Phase Fatale nach seinem 2017er-Debüt auf Hospital Productions, ist Musik über Kontrolle. Mittels der Verbindung von Klang als Waffe und psychologischer Manipulation als konzeptuelles Fundament, erforscht Hayden Payne Wege, auf denen Musik – und besonders Subbassfrequenzen – benutzt werden, das Denken zu beeinflussen als auch Emotionen und Verhalten zu synchronisieren: von Militärtechnologie zu Sound Systems zur Körperlichkeit und Sexualität queerer Technokultur.

Ausgehend von seinem innovativen Post-Punk-Ansatz zu Dance Music – nachzuhören auf seinen EPs für unterton und Ostgut Ton – bezieht sich der Berghain-Resident auf seinen Hintergrund als Gitarrist und Toningenieur. Daraus entstand auf Scanning Backwards eine berauschende Mischung aus gebrochener Rhythmik, Noise- und Shoegaze-beeinflussten Technos, oft mit langsamerer Gangart. Am Ende steht Musik mit Platz und Tempo zur weiteren Ausdehnung, das intensive Brausen von Frequenzen hervorhebend, die sowohl in der sonischen Kriegsführung und funktionaler Dance Music vorherrschen. Im Verlauf der acht Stücke, die eine Kombination aus historischen und fiktionalen Narrativen aus Literatur und Science Fiction im Titel tragen, ergründen Paynes rhythmische Exkursionen unterschiedliche Manifestationen von Klang als Macht – spezifisch im Sinne des Berghains als musikalisches Instrument. Dies reflektiert auch das Artwork des Albums: einem frühen Flyer der Partyreihe SNAX entnommen und offensichtliche Hommage an die Fetischisierung von Machtdynamiken.

In seinen eigenen Worten: „Alle Stücke dieses Albums, gleich welcher Stil, habe ich zugeschnitten, um auf ganz bestimmte Weise im Berghain zu klingen. Im Laufe der vielen Jahre als Tänzer inmitten des Dancefloors und auch während meiner DJ-Sets als Resident bemerkte ich, welche Frequenzen den Körper so richtig penetrieren. Das beinhaltet Sprache, Hochfrequenz- und Hirn-penetrierende Instrumentierung, Sägezahn- und Schlagbohrhammerästhetiken – die hatte ich bis dahin noch nicht so oft benutzt, denke aber, dass sie Einfluss auf das Denken und Gedächtnis haben. Das trifft besonders zu auf einen Ort, der schwule und Fetisch-Geschichte auf unerwartete Weise mit Musik kombiniert, auf fast kultische Art. Eine musikalische und physische Deinstallation und Neuprogrammierung, Psychic Driving und De-patterning, das Löschen und Ersetzen von Erinnerungen.“

Scanning Backwards wacht über die manipulativen Eigenschaften elektronischer Musik (Mantras, Loops, unterschwellige Botschaften) und wie Rhythmus sowohl Bewegung als auch das Denken in Einklang bringt. Ein Puls koordinierter Klang- und Hirnwellen.

 

Press Info (English):
Scanning Backwards, Phase Fatale’s second full-length album following his 2017 debut album for Hospital Productions, is music about control. Using the connection between weaponized sound and psychological manipulation as a conceptual foundation, Hayden Payne explores the ways in which music – and sub frequencies in particular – are used to influence thinking and to synchronize emotions and behavior: from military technology to sound systems and the physicality and sexuality of queer techno culture.

Known for his innovative post-punk takes of dance music as featured on EPs for unterton and Ostgut Ton, the Berghain resident draws on his background as both a guitarist and sound engineer to create a heady mix of broken rhythms, noise-, and shoegaze-inflected techno, often at slower tempos. The result is music with space and pace to expand, highlighting the intense rushes of frequencies found in both sonic warfare and functional dance music. Over eight tracks named after a combination of historical and fictional narratives from literature and science fiction, Payne’s rhythmic excursions explore different manifestations of sound as power – specifically within the context of seeing Berghain as an instrument itself. This is also reflected in the album artwork, taken from an early flyer for the SNAX party series and an obvious ode to the fetishization of power dynamics.

In his own words: “All tracks on the album, no matter the style, were tailored to sound a certain way in Berghain – something I figured out through years of dancing in the middle of the floor, DJing as a resident and investigating what frequencies really penetrate the body. This includes speech and high-frequency, brain-penetrating instrumentation and drilling textures that I had not utilized so often before, but which I think also have an effect on thought and memory. It’s especially true in a space where gay and fetish roots combine with music in unexpected ways, almost in a cultish manner. A musical and physical deprogramming and reprogramming, psychic driving and de-patterning, the erasing and replacing of memories.”

Ultimately, Scanning Backwards surveys not only the manipulative properties of electronic music (mantras, loops, subliminal messages) but also how rhythm facilitates both moving and thinking in synchrony; a pulse of coordinated sound- and brainwaves.

Press Info:
Entropie- the measure of disorder in the system.

Established to break up social structures and against social forces Entropie is the medium for Techno in his raw form. In a world full of rules and prohibitions the darkness is the only place where we can escape from reality. Known for its dynamic atmosphere Entropie stands for a clear, rough & uncompromising sound.

For the seventeenth edition of the Entropie events, Raffaele Attanasio will be headlining the Club Floor. He is a pianist,arranger and producer. During his career he collaborated with artists such as Orlando Voorn for the personal compilation on Nightvision Records. Now Raffaele is supported by important artists such as Len Faki, Luke Slater, Ben Sims, Chris Liebing, Marcel Dettmann, Ben Klock, Juan Atkins, Oscar mulero and Dustin Zahn. Raffaele made remixes for Trapez, Gynoid and the last is called Telraefor Reimut Van Bonn In 2014, he succeeded in making one of his greatest artist dreams come true: dieting in a b2b session with Jeff Mills in Naples, and then went on to play his glorious b2b with Octave One.

Tense atmospherics, uncompromising levels of distortion and stark, astute beats constitute a distinctive sound that Simon Hayes has been honing for more than a decade under his Swarm Intelligence guise. Born in Dublin, currently living in Belrin. Releases on Acre, Acroplane, Ad Noiseam, Voitax and most recently on Instruments of Discipline.

Eastel is a DJ and producer living between Paris and Seoul. Her take on Techno is industrial, energetic, fast, heavy and dark.With a remix for Paula Temple on Noise Manifesto, and releases to come on various labels later this year, Eastel is setting herself to become a stronghold name. She also has two side project: Arius ( a project w/ French artist Paul Mørk) where cinematic, dark melodic elements and uncompromising techno sounds combine; and NvrsEastel (a project with Californian artists NVRS) playing with destructured sonorities, distorted drums, drone and post-industrial elements, noisy sounds and Eastel’s vocals

The massive rave will be opened by Entropie resident, Ecoshape. He will start the night with the typical Entropie sound clear, rough & uncompromising.

Modular Ambient Patch will happen at the second floor. Here you can listen to artists they will perform live with modular devices.

Philet is a producer/composer and live performer living in Berlin. Multi-influenced he merges Techno and Electro focussing the dancefloor but also experiments with ambient soundscapes to assemble thoughtful compositions with a deep understanding resulting in a unique take on his sound. And after having released tracks on different compilations and various-artist EPs, his first solo EP will be out early 2020. For this live show Philet will combine his signature drum patterns with heavy basslines and eerie drones and pads to push and expand the boundaries of contemporary music to the limit.

Widow is based in Berlin since the millenium. Influenced by famous artists and the Berlin Club Culture. In 2017 he build his first Modular Setup and he gave his debüt gig in 2019 at About Blank.

If you want to avoid long waiting times at the entry and skip the queue, you have to buy your ticket online.

Looking forward to see new and familiar faces.
