Primavera Sound Festival, Barcelona, Spain. A beach-side festival boasting some of the year’s best acts, from legacy to Pitchfork-approved, along the Mediterranean. We—the Berlin Loves You tribe—descend like rodents, scurrying across Parc del Forum on shaky sunburnt knees. They’re the best days of our lives. They’re also some of our worst. That is: they make … Read more “4/5, and That’s Unheard Of”: Primavera Sound Festival Bingo

BERLINLOVESYOU-Shambhu1

Shambhu Leroux’s soul-punching voice is a howl from the Berlin underworld. It’s affirmation that—despite Bassy and other club closures, and those shit new-wave-cafés on your street, Berlin’s dirty black heart ain’t stopped beating. Not yet. The self-described Berlin Queen of the Underworld, Shambhu Leroux evokes life-affirming power, even off stage. She’s seated across from me … Read more With Shambhu Leroux, Berlin Stays Wild at Heart

‘Loving the Alien’, a David Bowie-themed musical they’re calling “the next Rocky Horror Show”, starts next week at Monster Ronsons. As a tired, burned-out Berliner, it’s been a while since I’ve been genuinely excited.

Dennis Lyxzén is one of modern punk’s greatest frontmen and a hero of mine. Not only has he got one of the most fearsome, paint stripping screams around, but his stage presence gives you goosebumps. Lyxzén’s different to most punks – he’s the well-dressed silhouette could’ve Jagger been… with some practice. I’ve seen this man … Read more Punk Hero Dennis Lyxzén Talks INVSN

by
Nakhane 26 crop

As a multidisciplinary artist, it’s hard to peg Nakhane to one artform. We met Nakhane for the first time last year when he and director John Trengrove brought their film The Wound, which Nakhane starred in and which was short-listed for an Oscar nomination, to Berlinale. Since then Nakhane has taken a break from acting … Read more Nakhane’s “You Will Not Die” Lends Fashion To Trauma
