Berlin in 2018 represents Europe’s creative metropolis number one. “Berlin reminds me of what New York was like in the early ‘80s,” Honey Dijon, iconic DJ, and cultural encyclopedia, told Clash in an interview in 2017, “It hasn’t been tainted as bad. It retains its rawness and roughness, it’s really young and still somewhat affordable. So there’s a lot of young artists.” – The European city that attracts musical talent ain’t London no more. Take a look at the following list of exceptionally talented and unique artists, and you’ll see: We have entered a new era of music made in Berlin. Whether short momentum or the start of bigger things to come. Don’t miss these 12 amazing, new music videos from Berlin-based artists!

A Shuttered Society – Photography in the GDR was an exhibition about artistic photography in the GDR that took place at Berlinische Galerie in 2012. The exhibition dealt with the photographic currents and the relation to media in this period and it was the first extensive showcase of the artistic work from photographers from the GDR. There was a series of photographs that showed the development of photography and also told about the everyday life in the GDR. The exhibition was divided into three parts: the socially engaged photography that was interested in a representation of reality, the artistic photography which emphasized on an artistic expression, and the photography of the young artists who underlined their bodies and their perception and parted from the traditions of the older generation. Enjoy a look back at some of the highlights after the jump.

On Saturday we celebrated our 5th anniversary and the release of our scarf collection with Front Row Society with a big party at Naherholung Sternchen. The evening started quite early with the screening of the Berlin Film Night – a collaboration with Mobile Kino – and then quickly changed into a wild party night with DJ sets by Kool Thing, Planningtorock, Shameless/Limitless, Oh Mehr, Lidl Bromance and surprise guest DJ Katja a.k.a. Glamcanyon. We had a great night and I was really happy so many of you came! Thanks for the support by Pampero Colectivo, as well as the Fountain of Youth and Red Bull.
