Dense

The seminal Maria club is turning 10 years old this week, and Dense is celebrating together with our neighboors and friend of Shitkatapult.
Save the date: on September 12th (next Friday), the Dense DJ Team will perform to open a Shitkatapult-driven night at Maria, together with Strobocop (also of Dense and Karaoke Kalk), Daniel Meteo, Fenin, Max Monatana and T.Raumschmiere.
That’s all happening at Maria/ Josef and starting up at midnight sharp. Be there, unless you want to wait ten more years.

New tip of the moment: Dense recommends the “Femmes’r'Us” party taking place at Radialsystem V on Wednesday (9th of August). Playing there are MC Chickaboo, Flore and DJ Ravissa, as well as the Femmes with Fatal Breaks crew. It all takes place during the “Feminism in Pop Music, Culture and Film” festival organized by this team, which is taking place from today (August 7th) till the 16th of August. Moreover, be sure to watch the videos shown during this event, as one was shot at your very Dense store in preparation for this festival.

This Thursday, your favorite dealers for music, crack and hand-made gun replicas (aka Dense Records), in collaboration with Big Mean Robot Entertainment, proudly present you a spontaneous bass tidbit at the NBI club in Prenzlauer Berg:

KARSTEN PFLUM (rump recordings / worm interface)
SLAM52
HECQ (hymen / bigmeanrobot )
LAMBENT (stillavailable)
DJ DISCOXX (stillavailable)

Karsten Pflum und Slam52 both represent the cutting-edge of danish electronic music. With three full releases and a bunch of EPs in his bag, Karsten Pflum pays with his music a tribute to the glorious times of IDM, without losing the focus on the future of the genre. But we have heard rumors, that he got addicted to the wobble sounds of dubstep and that he will present some of his newest material at the NBI… Slam52 in turn, is a young star rising, with a first remix appereance on Cock Rock Disco. He will present his blend of vicious dubstep, dark amen breaks and industrial mayhem. Bass junkies have to check him out fo’ sure.
They will be supported by Berlins very own Hecq and Japans beat ambassador in Germany, Lambent. Hecq is not only one of the hottest and most profilic IDM artists right now, but he is also a sound designer with an impressive portfolio. Lambent just stoked the world with his first release on Stillavailable Records full of smooth and dreamy hip hop awesomeness.

Such an event won’t come any time soon, not even in Berlin. 5 € is the price, 9.30 pm the time, NBI the location.

Be there or be square.
