Introduction/Adapted Press Info:
This special is about the Berlinale movie “B-Movie – Lust & Sound in West-Berlin (1979-1989)”.
“B-MOVIE” is a documentary about music, art and chaos in the Wild West Berlin of the 1980s: the walled-in city which became the creative melting pot for a special kind of sub and pop culture, attracting ingenious dilettantes and world famous celebrities alike. However, before the iron curtain would fall, artists and communards, squatters and hedonists of all kinds would enjoy Berlins unconventional lifestyle. It was not about long-term commercial success, but about living for the moment – the kick – the here and now.
With mostly unreleased TV and film footage, photos and original interviews, B -MOVIE tells the story of life in the divided city, a cultural interzone in which everything and anything seemed possible in a place unlike anywhere else in Europe. It’s a fast-paced collage of stories from a frenzied but creative decade, starting with punk and ending with the Love Parade, all from a city where the days are short and the nights are endless. This is a time when Berlin was like a B-MOVIE: colourfully cheap and trashy, threatened and thrown together, anxious and ambitious, clubbed and caned, stoned and strung out, drunk, drugged and – just very special.
The film, starring Mark Reeder, Gudrun Gut, Annette Humpe, Blixa Bargeld, Nena, Nick Cave, Westbam, Joy Division, Zazie de Paris, Die Toten Hosen, Der „wahre“ Heino, Einstürzende Neubauten, Die Ärzte, Die Unbekannten, Malaria!, Notorische Reflexe and many more, was directed by Jörg A. Hoppe, Klaus Maeck and Heiko Lange

Press Info:
This EP by Count Zero marks the official debut release by production duo Static Plate and Hey Joe, both based in Berlin. Having crafted their own respective styles throughout numerous live sets, releases and collaborations of their own, the two techno-heads make some of their most daring moves throughout these five tracks.
As a collaborative project between two producers, but most importantly two friends, Count Zero opens explorative possibilities which both artists have clearly taken advantage of. While staying true to the wild pace of hard industrial techno, their sound is textured, drawn out and made for vast mental and physical spaces.

Note by Elektrotribe:
The party in Cologne was massive! Heinz Gaul hosted us and their club reminded us of the gritty, industrial warehouse clubs back home in Berlin. Alongside this, it was also packed to the brim and the ravers were exactly that- real ravers. What. A. Party. This set really gave the crowd the Berlin clubbing experience and they slipped oh so effortlessly into the vibe. This set by Sian tends towards the minimalistic side of things but doesn’t ever lose it’s funk. Enjoy, my friends.
