I’m sorry about the distorted sound quality of the video but the Raum18 Soundsystem was just insane and gave the recording equipment a hard time.

Mi Ami – the disco punk trio from west coast usa make their anticipated return to Berlin as part of their ‘Steal Your Face’ album tour. The last show supporting Black Dice rocked the audience hard with their hi energy performance. Taking in elements of dub, techno, punk, rock they really are in world of their own. A world where people have fun and party hard to drums, bass and synth and then explode in torrents of energy waves as guitar and voice ignite. Berlin, this is your one and only chance to catch this unique band in 2010, DO NOT MISS.

Ben Butler & Mousepad (live)
Berlin based drum and electronic mayhem!
Ben Butler & Mouse Pad is Joe Gay Against You/Germlin’s new project with Bastian Hagedorn. Anyone exposed to the furious shake & pop of pixelated DIY dance fury from either act should expect excellence. Anaglouey electro pop dance music for people raised in the digital age who want to party like its 2999.

O Tannenbaum DJs is Pieter and Olivier – two DJs from Berlin who can keep people dancing through the night like no one else in the city. Their music is a highly eclectic mix of the magical tribal vibes, forgotten and unforgotten 80’s & 90’s dancefloor hits, wave, 70’s electropop, dancehall, acid, cumbia, 50’s & 60’s rarities, but mostly stuff you never ever heard before. O Tannenbaum are residents of TAMTAMTAM parties organized by PLAYBerlin. In June  they ll open their new space in Neukölln. We ll keep you updated.
