The Pinkys Peep Show event series has been going down every month in Bassy Club since May 2010, a central point in the calendar of Berlin’s burgeoning Burlesque scene – with a night lavishly featuring international burlesque performers, cabaret artists and heads-down rock n roll, it’s not a night any self-respecting debauchee wants to miss…

If you need to expend a little energy and want to shake that thing you know this is the best place to do it: Our beloved King Kong Klub in Mitte hosts their regular event Shakedown – sixties rhythm and soul – 100% old style boogie shit.

Dauwd is a London based electro artist who’s fast gathering a collection of dubstep London insiders as fans. Exciting listeners of the prestigious Unclassified Promo record alongside luminaries of the scene such as SBTRKT, Actress, Zomby et al, the excitement generated by the track has led to him releasing a limited release
vinyl and digital EP “What’s There” on the Pictures Music label. The EP is out this November but meanwhile we’ve got a free download for you to enjoy…

Jens Lekman hat ein neues Video zu seinem Song “I Know What Love Isn’t” veröffentlicht, welcher gleichzeitig der Titeltrack des neuen Albums ist, was am 31.08.2012 erscheint. “I Know What Love Isn’t” ist ein Tribut an die Erkundung der Grauzonen der Liebe, um ihr dadurch näher zu kommen.

Bobby Champs stormed in the scene with his debut Moonlight earlier this year, universally praised by publications like RA (4/5), Mixmag and DJ Mag. Follow up EP Drag Queen shows that he’s a force to be reckoned with – a more mature but still raw sound explores Berlin’s midnight and London’s 3AM.

The Pin Sharps play straight up fifties rockabilly with a female fronted edge – guaranteed to shake up those Monday blues.

Micachu and the Shapes are probably best described as a naturally divisive band. Upon first glance you could be forgiven thinking that they represent just another tiresome scene group. After all, they wouldn’t be the first to attempt to achieve novelty by distorting rhythm, eschewing choruses, throwing in vacuum cleaners and then calling the result ‘pop’ music.
The problem is, as time goes by, this scepticism is hard to maintain.

Kitty’s erstes offizielles Album “Future Air Hostess” veröffentlichte sie auf ihrem selbst gegründeten Label Solaris Empire und bekam Air-Play auf Radio Eins, Radio Fritz und Motor FM. Seitdem arbeitet sie nicht nur als Musikerin und Labelchefin, sondern organisiert auch die Konzertreihe “Lofi-Lounge” im Berliner Club Schokoladen, wo Sie spielt heute live – highly recommended!!

Alberta Cross have supported Oasis, Neil Young, The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Mumford And Sons, The Shins, Bat for Lashes, Simian Mobile Disco, and Findlay Brown: And if you’re asking yourself the question why all of these big name bands asked them to open for them, the answer is: That everybody knew that one day they’d be the hottest ticket in town, and wanted to be able to hang on their coattails when their own star had faded, because they knew that Alberta Cross would be standing up strong long after the weaker bands had lain down to die.

Between songs she works up an easy rapport with the audience and by the third song in has them eating out of her hand. And the thing with Laura Bean is that she’s worldly wise enough to make her Kentucky girl thang both ironic and authentic at the same time (favourite in-between-song comment: “I’m so happy to be in a place where other people can get as excited about fried chicken as I can”).

Micachu and the Shapes revolve around musician Mica Levi. While studying as a classical musician in Guildhall, UK, where she had one of her compositions recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – she also DJed around the grime scene in London where she put out a mixtape called Filthy Friends that enlisted the help of the likes of now-famous Ghostpoet and other luminaries of the scene. Concentraing on experimental pop music with her new band the Shapes she recorded their debut album Jewellery with influential electronic musician Matthew Herbert as producer.

Alec Troniq has just brought out his second 2012 EP called “Pimpernuckel”. Like on his recent “Rueffel EP” ALEC TRONIQ had fun with real whistling, playing guitars and making a lotta noises on his own in “Pimpernuckel”. “KKrock” is a remix for KONRAD KUECHENMEISTER, who is globetrotting with his awesome one man live show. “Mumpitz” is a collaboration with Alec’s boogie fellows Schoebel & Meusel. A fresh’n’sunny remix is made by PURPLE DISCO MACHINE who already delivered great remixes e.g. for Raumakustik, but is better known as STEREOFUNK who worked for Bonaparte, Electro Ferris from Deichkind, Fukkk Offf, Philipp Poisel and many more.
