It was at Wilma Bar sometime last year that I first caught sight of the River Rats. Wilma’s bare walls, the candlesticks overflowing with wax and the cigarette smoke which perpetually hangs in the air, all evoke the spirit of some arthouse film. That evening was no different, the sound of live gypsy jazz seeping … Read more These Gypsy Jazz River Rats Roam Our Streets and Infest Our Ears

by
loves-you-the-ex-gigs-september

Michael Rother’s set at the Synästhesie Festival on the weekend is proof (if proof was needed) that techno has its roots in Germany’s krautrock scene. Rother was there to perform much-loved songs from both his former band Neu! and Harmonium. Repetitive, relentless and really damn good, what better place to hear such cutting-edge music than … Read more Berlin Gig Guide #4 : Cult Heroes Descend on Berlin
