CONTAGIOUS – BEING album release concert

Join us on 9 September at Panke Club to celebrate the release of our new album BEING! We’re excited to share the evening with Laure Boer and Rabih Beaini!

Seven years after our first album, CONTAGIOUS, we’re excited to finally present our second release, BEING, on Morphine Records.
Inspired by the wide range of life forms found in nature, the track titles are once again dedicated to species that challenge binary notions of sex.
We’re especially honored to have three wonderful guest musicians featured on the album: Sofia Jernberg on Comb Jelly, Valentina Magaletti on Boa constrictor, and Andrea Belfi on Smithii Ants.

Laure Boer’s music is inspired by noise music and traditional folk. Her performances are hypnotic improvisations around traditional instruments, electroacoustic and DIY-electronic objects, and sometimes a voice, singing or reciting in her native French; a vibrant universe that is both vulnerable and brutal.

Contagious is a solid blending of avant-garde experimentation and electronic music. Founded in Berlin in 2018 by two innovative voices from the Berlin Improvisation scene (Andrea Neumann and Sabine Ercklentz) and Mieko Suzuki, a well-crafted and creative DJ and musician who’s operating in Berlin venues and festivals since a long time.

Rabih Beaini’s Lebanese-born producer and DJ Rabih Beaini (formerly known as Morphosis) specializes in grainy, imaginative analogue techno. His genuine musical ability and a range of influences—from krautrock to new wave—seep into his inventive, dark, and emotional productions and immersive DJ sets.

Can you hear it? Can you feel it? It`s time for midweek DISKO again! After a relaxing summer hiatus we’re ready to calm down the heat and celebrate life, love and community through music. Fall through and shake your legs to the most unique genre bending party in Berlin-Wedding aka DISKO INTERNATIONAL. This time we team up with our well known friends DJ QUIEN and RADIO VAMPIRO.

RADIO VAMPIRO is the Berlin-based project of Beto, músic selector, DJ, radio host, psychologist, and cultural curator originally from El Salvador. A resident at Cashmere Radio and host of regular shows on other independent radio stations, he is known for eclectic DJ sets spanning house, breaks, electro, disco, and Latin American rhythms such as Latin soul, cumbia, salsa, reggae en español, and other tropical and psychedelic sounds. He has performed at clubs and festivals across Europe and Latin America, while also exploring the musical heritage of Central America and Latin America through radio shows, listening sessions, and archival research, creating connections between dance music, cultural memory, and community.

DJ QUIEN, Born in La Paz, Bolivia, has been DJing for 25+ years, delving into a diverse array of musical genres. His exploration has taken him from the captivating and elusive rhythms of Cumbia, funk, soul, disco, and boogie to the throbbing electronic beats, often delving into the depths of bass-heavy sounds. Throughout his journey, he’s incorporated elements of turntablism, resulting in a versatile and dynamic range of musical experiences. DJ Quien masterfully blends the artistic with the technical, delivering electrifying dance floors and leaving audiences in a state of wonder.
He is co-founder of the Oi Mas Bass label and collective, spearheaded the creation of the South American digital arts festival Kiebre, won the Soul Side HCMC Scratch Battle and became Sample Music Festivals Portablism Champion in 2025. His involvement further extends to Berlin’s Bassism Crew and the international CRISP Collective.
