From techno to acid house passing through breakbeats and more with the eclectic and creative Kat Kat Tat
On Friday Sept. 15th Mensch Meier

After revolutionizing Argentina's vibrant underground for nine years, K ΛT KΛT TΛT has been exploring her native Berlin since 2013. Spending half of her life writing about electronic music, organizing events and djing, it just seemed natural to come back to where it all started.

Being introduced to synthesiser music as a small child, she spent her earliest years in the laboratory with her dad, observing oscillators and inhaling soldering fumes. The outcome, some home-built speakers and an abstract synesthetic idea of music, influenced her so heavily she did not feel at home musically until she stumbled into her first illegal rave fifteen years down the line. Getting completely immersed immediately, she quickly rose up to becoming an electronic music journalist working for publications like Raveline, Meoko, WKD, and Mixmag. Her sets comprise vanguard tendencies; finding a raw and uncompromisingly experimental and explorative approach to playing vinyl only is paramount to her celebration of electronic music culture, intertwining future-positive, dark and rhythmically compelling house, electro, rave, ambient, breaks and techno with her firm, investigative, global roots. Playing in big clubs like Tresor or Kater but also tiny venues and underground dinges, she digs out hidden gems and has a fantastic groove which strives to unite the scrambled revellers on the floor in order to make them open up and feel love(d).

The event will start with a Sound Bath, Ecstatic Dance with Cacao Ceremony and Meditation, and the New Moon Ritual. Afterwards, the celebration will go on featuring body performance art and a wide range of electronic music performances, live and DJ sets, from diverse music styles, including bass music, techno, electro, world music, ambient and experimental.

It's when the club is still dark while outside the sun arised that you can find Sarkha pushing hard beats.
