Throwback to a sweet day at the Urban Spree garden during Krake Festival Day II. With help of some of our favourite labels we could not only finally set up our first label market since three years but also finally had our legendary charity raffle in real life again. Thanks to all our generous tech partners and label friends for donating prices. With you help we've been able to raise funds for - which will be used to provide further capacities for pushing inclusive values in music and nightlife ✌️

Here are some photos from our opening concert night. Krake Day I has been made happen in collaboration with Silent Green who helped us hosting amazing performances by Tangerine Dream, Rosa Anschütz and Special Guest DJ. After years of working with Silent Green we felt like taking it to the next level in 2022 - it was a great pleasure to share this with so many lovely people! Thanks for being a part of this 💞

GEGEN Showcase Mike Starr:
A purveyor of the underground, championing the unsung via overlooked or slept on gems, British born-Berlin based Mike Starr has applied his musical sensibilities to his sets and productions for the past two decades whilst retaining
the true foundations of house & techno. Mike Starr has guested at many of the best of Berlin underground clubs + parties including Panorama Bar, About Blank, Kater Blau, Heideglühen, Kit Kat Club, Wilde Renate, Sisyphos, and Paloma Bar. Mike has actively injected his unique blend of charisma and soul into underground house. Djing with musicality, groove and a sense of purpose by emotionally telling a story within his sets, mixes and productions. The sound although firmly grounded in house, incorporates groove based nuances from electro, garage, disco to the sound of Detroit, Chicago, Berlin house & techno.

GEGEN Showcase Laura de Vasconcelos:
Your House-Music Extravaganza. Your Disco Q***r. When Laura
steps up to the decks, she dares you not to dance!
Brazilian based in Berlin, Laura has been playing her
trademark brand of house-classics, raw and energetic sets she has become synonymous with. In her carefully curated vinyl-
collection and in her ability to fuse rock and disco to a bassline-driven house and techno, her sound is unmistakable,
her dance-floor is always sensual, fierce and fun!
A thoughtful multidisciplinary artist, with a constant need to
create, Laura has recently self produced and shot a series of
music-videos. Love letters to both her birthplace and her
adopted city, they eloquently showcase her ability to tell a
story, never missing an opportunity to uplift and spotlight
the work of other artists and collaborators alike, all the
while accompanied by her signature nostalgia. “House-classics dance/electronic disco”, says Laura de
Vasconcelos, the Brazilian Berlin-Based DJ when asked how she
would define the music she plays.
Quite mysterious, yet over a decade DJing professionally, you
will barely find about her online. Catching Laura live would
be a better way to get to know her more. Embracing the
q***rness to its core: no adjustment – no agreement, she does
not create a digital public persona to walk through the
demented times of too much data - like overdoing on her
social-media platforms.
Laura focuses on what really matters: bringing good music
together to create that magical moment we can only get on the
dance-floor! And if you have been into Berlin’s underground
q***r clubbing scene, you most certainly have already danced
your butty to her live dj-sets at the most infamous parties.
Then you know it gets sexy. Then you know it is glamorous. As
a dance-floor should be. From being lost in reverie, total seriousness, pure delight,
wit and grit, Laura is surely one of the most independent,
versatile and inspiring characters in today’s club scene.

GEGEN Showcase Aérea Negrot:
Aérea Negrot is a multi-purpose, long-lasting singer-producer-DJ-composer-performer in a bottle. Just as her name is not simple to pronounce, Aérea Negrot’s style is not easy to categorize. Of course, that’s not to say that her music is inaccessible or obtuse, but rather that she has crafted her own unique approach, combining technoid grooves, operatic vocals and abstracted pop. As a studio producer, vocalist, trained ballet dancer and DJ, she owns not just the stage but also the means of production. Aérea Negrot allows her various disciplines to overlap into something delightfully demented, bursting with personality, nimbly leaning toward the future while still keeping one pinky-toe in the traditions of classicism.
Actively performing since 1999, Aérea released her full-length debut artist album, Arabxilla, on BPitch Control in 2011. The Guardian described it as an “atmospheric house and techno record given to Weimar cabaret interludes and jazzy inflections” and praised it as “sublime”. Indeed, both her Venezuelan background and her home base of Berlin (with excursions elsewhere in between) have left an imprint on her work. Germany’s Zeit also took note of the international appeal in the polyglot’s music, terming it “Disco Esperanto”, Vogue Paris praised Arabxilla as “burning and icy at once” and compared her to Klaus Nomi and Grace Jones, while U.S. magazine Magnet named it their #1 electronic album of the year. From nightclub mecca Berghain to the Sydney Opera House, Aérea’s performances have won new fans in a variety of settings. In her own words, all she has to say about her music is that it is not from the heart, not from the brain—“It’s from the liver.”
Since Arabxilla, she has been jumping from net to net remixing for artists like Mamacita (Klack Records), Shaun J. Wright, Stereogamous, Alinka (Tribal & Twirl), Zhala (Konichiwa Records), among others.
Aside from her solo material, Aérea Negrot has also had a number of noteworthy collaborations, including a years-long stint with Hercules & Love Affair. She first met frontman Andy Butler in 2005 at the merch table of an Antony & the Johnsons concert in Berlin, and a few years later became part of the touring lineup. Aérea then collaborated on several tracks of Blue Songs, the band’s second album from 2011. The following year, she provided vocals on three tracks from tobias.’s Bending Over Backwards on Ostgut Ton Records. She has also hit the studio with the likes of Matias Aguayo, Miguel Toro, Billie Ray Martin, System of Survival, Massimiliano Pagliara for duets and Collaborations.
Whether in the DJ booth, churning away in the studio or onstage at a concert hall, Aérea Negrot lets her creative juices flow—or rather, burst all directions, like from the nozzle of a spray bottle…

CHERIII:
CHERIII is a Berlin based French artist. He created in 2014 HOMODROP, a q***r party based in London and Paris. He booked and share the desk with already big names as Massimiliano Pagliara / Ivan Smagghe / Chloe / Kosme / Louisahhh / Alex Smoke / Matt Walsk / Justine Roberston / Cormac / Roi Perez /Francis inferno orchestra / Trowing Shade / Eskimo Twins / Abajour / Heretic ...
Starting to collect records in 2005 in Lyon, his home town, playing minimal and techno, he moved to Madrid / Montreal and then London to build his music culture.
Now, Cheriii wants to make you dance, be happy and travel on the dance-floor with a combination of tropical house, nu-disco, techno and broken beats.

MILEY SERIOUS:
Parisian & NYC based Dj, label owner of 99Cts Records, Miley Serious was born from
the link between her two worlds : electronic & the punk scene.
Between Paris & NYC, she sets the foundation of 99Cts Records, her tape & zine
label, but it’s in Paris that she will host her monthly show on Rinse France / Rinse Fm.
Using this platform to bring light on some of her favorite underground artists and
scenes from around the world.
Through her sharp selections, she creates this universe of her own, chaining
relentless sets that mingle electro, acid, drum'n'bass, memphis and more, putting her
as one of the residents of the infamous Killekill Berlin.
In addition to that, you can find her curating radio take overs and events, bridging the
gaps between platforms such as The Lot Radio (NYC), 8ball community (NYC) and
her home Rinse France.
Already spotted by many media (Boiler Room, Infinity Overdrive, Japan Nylon ,
Electronic beats...), Miley Serious carries a strong musical background, but also an
energy that is demonstrated on any dance floor and all through passages noticed in
France, Europe, United States or Asia.

For our OPENING CONCERT in the beautiful surroundings of silent green, a former crematorium and now arts and cultural centre in the north of Berlin, we have invited the legendary pioneers TANGERINE DREAM, considered by many as the most influential German electronic band music beside Kraftwerk. Support comes by the amazingly talented Rosa Anschütz, a vocalist and composer whose music exists somewhere between post-punk, electronica and cold wave, with Anschütz’s voice floating through ethereal and hypnotic sound spheres. Opening the night and also Krake Festival 2022 will be Special Guest DJ, one of the city’s most exciting selectors. Tickets: https://killekill.stager.nl/KRAKE%202022/tickets

Krake Festival presents FOLD London: the first of our partner floors for Krake Festival 2021's Multi-Stream Rave, as part of our Live & Digital Hybrid format for this year's festival. FOLD is an artist-led, community-driven nightclub and arts space. Positioned at the forefront of electronic music, audio-visual performance, and live streaming. FOLD prides itself on striving to be a safe space for our predominantly queer techno community.

Transistors Of Mercy + Pixelflowers present "Colourful Blackout", a specially commissioned project for Krake Festival 2021 We are very excited to welcome these legendary artists to perform a very special show as one of our streaming partner floors for this year. Each performance by the Transistors Of Mercy is an emergent phenomena. It exists only as a temporary network of integrated sound-producing elements - circuits, capacitors, oscillators, filters and human intentions. Electrical current is sent through a system of modified analogue hardware collected from the 1970s onwards to produce extended but unrepeatable musical events. Each TOM performance becomes an improvised object that exists through being heard. It is an object without a centre and constituted from a multiplicity of listening perspectives. As such a TOM event is only partially and unsuccessfully captured through conventional video technology. For this specially commissioned project, Pixelflowers will synthesise a new multiplicity of real and imagined perspectives into a standpoint that sees from no particular point at all and therefore from everywhere. Signals are processed in a positive feedback loop which transforms image material into a compound-vision that cannot be reduced to its individual parts. https://transistors-of-mercy.net/ https://www.facebook.com/TransistorsOfMercy https://pixelflowers.noblogs.org For more info & tickets https://krake-festival.de/ https://ra.co/events/1470247
