no new averageness
The listen to berlin Compilation is a space for experimentation. It is open to all genres and styles and is not satisfied with the ordinary. It wants to be unadjusted and unconventional, innovative and progressive. Artists featured on the compilation in the past include Bonaparte, Catnapp, SIND, Alin Coen, uon, We Will Kaleid, VALENTIN, Breezy, DJ İpek İpekçioğlu, Sookee, Brand Brauer Frick, Niconé, Oliver Koletzki, Alice Phoebe Lou, Kat Frankie, Get Well Soon und Moderat.
beyond genre
Good music knows no genre boundaries. Berlin doesn’t either. Whether afrobeats, experimental electronica, funk and soul music, rap, hip-hop, jazz, reggaeton, pop indie sounds or droning rock – the sound of the city is versatile. We are looking for a cross-section of the most innovative and exciting music of the future: a soundtrack for a diverse city.

The Compilation will be curated by a jury of experts from various sectors of the Berlin music industry. You’ll find out who that will be soon!
