by
1857GICR_003_0374

“There is no love in SP / The bars are full of empty souls / The greediness vibrates, the vanity excites.” The lyrics above are about São Paulo, my hometown, but ironically I saw Criolo for the first time in Berlin. This song was released in 2011. Listening to it again, I realise that unfortunately, … Read more “Misery and Chaos are Reigning” – Criolo’s Boca de Lobo Tour

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

Le Pustra Dives into the Dark Legends of Weimar Berlin

by
Le-Pustra-by-Ben-Asif-33

His face is heavily painted like an early silent film star. Asta Nielsen perhaps, or Alla Nazimova. His hair is a cotton candy poof of lavender or garish red. Lounging in an impeccably tailored tuxedo, he takes a drag from an ebony cigarette holder and partially disappears in a shroud of smoke. A time-traveler, he … Read more Le Pustra Dives into the Dark Legends of Weimar Berlin

Berlin-Loves-You-Daniel-Malheur-featured

Daniel Malheur steps up on the stage, a dapper man in full vintage attire with a pencil mustache and painted lips. He approaches a gramophone and gives it a hearty cranking. As the scratchy strains of a bygone orchestra emits from the ancient machine, he stands in front of a vintage microphone and peers at … Read more Daniel Malheur: Pop Goes the Monokel

I immediately thought the … Read more Love, Art and Feminism in the Digital Age. Digital_Luv is Curated by GIRLS.

From Glasgow to Berlin: An Interview with Twin Atlantic

by
BERLIN-LOVES-YOU-Twin-Atlantic-Musik-Featured

Before conducting this interview, I was lucky enough to be able to watch Twin Atlantic sound check. It was, I thought, a rare spectacle. Not only because I was privy to the nuts and bolts of live stage performance, but because Twin Atlantic displayed the same frenetic energy while adjusting levels and acoustics that they … Read more From Glasgow to Berlin: An Interview with Twin Atlantic

Talkin’ Spargel, Moustaches & Mallorca with Xiroi

by
BERLIN LOVES YOU Xiroi Featured

Xiroi’s Tommy and Tony really are the yin and yang of Schlager-Pop. One of them has a moustache and the other doesn’t. One of them plays the keyboards live and the other one doesn’t. Together they’re Xiroi, whose music masterfully depicts the very minutiae of Germany–a land where music and comedy are inextricably linked. A lot … Read more Talkin’ Spargel, Moustaches & Mallorca with Xiroi
