on the couch: Ivanka & MissVergnügen

„Now here is Mwadka, a DJ who makes the floor dance the voodoo, takes the crowd on a journey of many dimensions and brings it all with an intensity that expresses the joy created by music. Her rhythms are funky, the atmospheres hypnotic. The waves of melodies, vocals and ethnic percussions go into the mix. On the stage stands a good looking woman, confident, inspired, exciting, with a charisma, a desire and a sixth sense for what the people want.“
Wenn Mwadka die Party beginnen lässt, ist kein Ende vor Morgengrauen in Sicht! Kein Grund still zu stehen – warum auch, wenn Mwadka es so klar auf den Punkt bringt: „life is light, and the music the language of love.“

Was ihren Stil ebenso besonders macht, ist die Art und Weise, wie sie sich des tables bedient: nicht bloß als switch von record zu record, sondern als drum: „It just happens, as soon as I feel the beat and vibrations of the music, I start tapping my fingers, and there it goes, I create rhythm with the sounds of the records. Again, why should a drum be drum? Like Roland Kirk, a famous jazz player said, ‚a good musician knows how to stretch it. He can play the piano on a washing board.’ That’s what I do with the mix table.“

Hier ist sie, „a bright young woman“, bereit ihr Publikum auf einen trip voller Emotionen zu nehmen, zum Tanzen anzustecken, und zwar zu der Musik, die alle verbindet: „from the jungle to the valleys, the desert to the mountains, whatever colour, whatever background, it all adds up, it all makes the body sweat and the soul glow. Enjoy it.“

Nach einer kreativen Schaffenspause und zahlreichen Einzelprojekten der Mitglieder, kommt die Band mit Katrin Holzapfel, Andrew McGinn und Frank Wegling endlich wieder auf der Bühne zusammen: Sie performen ein „intimate acoustic concert“ live im Eschschloraque!

THE BAR SINISTER kennzeichnet neben einmaligen musikalischen Kompositionen und passioniertem Songwriting ein facettenreiches künstlerisches Schaffen von Performern, Singer/Songwritern, Musikern, Komponisten und Multi-Instrumentalisten vereint in einer Band:
Katrin Holzapfel, Vocalist/Pianist/Songwriter/ Performer, bewegt sich mit einem Naturtalent und jahrelangem Soul-Pop Vocaltraining gesanglich auf höchstem Niveau. Sie war Teil des Künstlerkollektivs ‘Kinder des Oubliettes’ – umfassende Puppet Musicals mit Gesang, Tanz und Marionettentheater mit eigens erbauten Puppen – und hier an Script, Produktion, Performance und Gesang beteiligt. Für die freie Berliner Tanzgemeinschaft SR&Company schrieb sie außerdem die Musik für mehrere Tanzperformances (Sinister Suite / Goethe ‘Erlkönig’).

Dub Intervention is this time also a birthday party, as Corin, aka Ed2000 celebrates his 62nd!

He has been djing for 40 of those 62 years, and will be playing his personal favorites from each year. Fellow Dub Intervention resident and compadre Educador, as always, brings with him his skills, experience and an eclectic "best of" gathered over 4 decades long professional career.

Ed2000 is host of dreamtime at cashmere radio, initiator and co-manager of dangerous drums for 20 years, and founder of dub intervention in 2015, Corin Arnold aka Ed2000 presents an evening of his own edits, re interpretations and dub remixes. No of the shelf music, no style, bpm or era boundries. The fruits of 40 years of djing.

Eduardo Delgardo Lopez / Educador has played with everyone who is anyone, but is especially known for playing bass with the Caspar Brötzmann Massaker. His radical, minimal and sequential playing seems just to be made for Mark Boombastik’s sharp beat(boxing). As a DJ – El Matador del Taxi / Educador – he serves a wide range of HipHop, Dub, Jungle, Punk, Latin and Funk. He has been playing in clubs, such as, Toaster or WMF, and the bass also with Reality Brothers.

Karli Ross will be droppin' a world wide selection of exotic rythms from all around the world.

Growing up with a tape recorder and vinyls of Pinkfloyd and Jefferson Airplane in the 70s, Karli got influenced by breakdance & hiphop in the 80s, looking for deep frequenced lowbase combined with sound and feelings of the favorite movie Beatstreet. Almost hyped to find the best waves of happiness in tracks of famous producers mixed in electronic, classic house & deep house music.

UFOdisco just started the next step to combine this sound with detroit style and Lofi shred, in a creation of a music collective where is space for Artists, Djs, Installation and Science to grow an exciting spirit of flow.

by Victoria McConnell, Nathalie Wendt & Carla Morera Cruzate

Powerful and sexy. Or must we be sexy in order to have power? Either way, in one evening, the devoted Representatives of Womanhood will offer you their perspectives on sexiness, the reality of female puberty, how to seduce someone, success, and female heroism.

With different fem characters as our guides, with movement in our nature, and comedy as our cure: Together we share our Post-Porn Clowning and our Auto-Biografictional Erotica Standup.   We pledge to seek the ridiculous in order to enlighten the shallow darkness of our instafamous times. 
It's Grrrl Power, baby. 

Featuring:  Kysy Fischer & Teija Vaittinen from the collective ABA NAIA,  The One & Lonely Kelvin and Nathalie Wendt as Agnes.

Kaum eine DJ hat die Bässe von den Turntables aus so in der Hand wie VELA! Mit Leidenschaft und Leichtigkeit lässt sie ein packendes „BassBombardement“ durch den Künstlerclub schallen: „My music style changed through out the years from BreakBeat to Electro to House to TechFunk to Techno … But it was always, and still is, best described as I’m-going-to-kick-your-arse-onto-the-dance-floor-and-you-will-like-it-and-beg-for-more!!!
