We are back! East-West Sessions exist since 2012. After this off-period (you know what we mean) we are finally back! Pure HipHop vibes with Beatmaker/Producer, Emcees & DeeJays. We had to wait so long. But now it’s starting again with concerts and dance evenings.
This is where the ultimate underground party takes place. Culture is in the foreground. Be a part of us. Be a part of hip hop culture.
The East-West Sessions (curated by Figub Brazlevic) try to bring together various musicians from different genres, disciplines and styles into one big live jam session.
Most of the artists involved know each other from their respective individual projects but the East-West sessions strive to mix them all together on one stage, away from their bedroom studios and laptops.
The vibe is organic and loose with the occupation of the stage and the instruments constantly changing and artists inviting each other onto the stage and improvising away.
The jam takes place at Panke, an inspiring location in the heart of Berlin’s vibrant Wedding district – the venue buzzes with creativity, hosting various party concepts, workshops and exhibitions throughout the year.

The small Berlin based diy label aufewigwinter is throwing a party for KORA WINTER’s long awaited second album release (exact date tba) and did put together a line up as unconventional and authentic as it gets. This night will be a night you won’t forget so easily, a true genre-bender, a journey through different iterations of dark and heavy grooves. Hardcore/Metal Bands and DJs, distorted guitars and amen breaks, moshpits and booty shaking all night long. So put on your favorite band shirt and or harness and be part of this unique music experience. The event is queer-friendly and inclusive, everybody is welcome and there will be an awareness team for your well-being and safety.
LINE UP:
KORA WINTER (Post-Hardcore/Metal)
After their widely acclaimed debut ‘BITTER,’ praised by critics and fans alike, KORA WINTER is back on stage in 2023 with new music. Hungrier, angrier, and more incisive than ever before, the Berlin-based band is ready this year to confront the German hardcore and metal scene with taboo topics such as identity, representation, and trauma. The five-member band, fronted by vocalist Hakan Halaç (also known for his solo project HAXAN), has already proven their live prowess with support shows for bands like The Hirsch Effekt, Rolo Tomassi, Evergreen Terrace, and Jinjer.

NESSEL (Shoegaze/Black Metal)
NESSEL is a five-piece from Stuttgart, Germany. Combining elements of black metal, shoegaze and screamo culminating in an eclectic outburst of post-gaze-everything. Their debut LP »Gestalt« was released in summer 2022 by I.Corrupt.Records (DE), Through Love Records (DE), Fireflies Fall (FR) and Clever Eagle Records (US).

RIOT SPEARS (Grunge/Angry Pop)
The angry pop/grunge trio Riot Spears formed in early 2019 and has so far released the formidable mini EP “I am not an object, not yet a person” and in 2021 their first album BAD, which was very well received by the local music critics guild. Riot Spears have shared the stages of the world with Skating Polly and Akne Kid Joe, but they also like to play for a box of chocolates at your grandma’s birthday party. In their songs you can hear the raw and energetic sounds of the 90’s Seattle and Riot Grrrl scene as well as the vulnerable and dreamy side of melodic pop music. Mix the sound of teasing irony and plenty of angst and anger, plus freshly baked self-doubt and a pinch of pessimism and you’ll be standing in the mosh pit in front of the stage screaming your head off.

DEBMASTER (Electronica/Glitch/Bass-Break)
French, yet a “Berliner” for the past 12 years, Julien Deblois aka Debmaster, is the eclectic producer behind many of the exciting releases on Hakuna Kulala. While Debmaster had a lot of fun playing live with his noisy friends in Berlin (Jason Forrest, Patric Catani, Chris Imler & others “crazy people”). His 2015 encounter with the overactive Nyege Nyege scene was the perfect outlet when they invited him to send “some beats” for artists who were recording weekly in a DIY recording studio in Kampala. Mc Yallah and him started to work together around 2018 for the first EP Ndi Mukazi, quickly followed by Kubali. He now produces music every day, mainly for Hakuna Kulala and Mc Yallah. He is also behind releases of Ecko Bazz (Mmaso), Biga yut (Walah), Will’stone (Mbv5) and more to come…

PONYO b2b Whattis (gabber/cyberotic-trance/post-internet-xyz-core, Turkey/Berlin)
The liaison of Berlin DJs PONYO and Whattis entangles you in an abundance of intense gabber romance, cyberotic trance, post-internet xyz-core and hard (heart)breaks. They leave no feelings unfelt, no sounds unheard — abandon reason and devote yourself to excessive dance.

R.S.S (dnb/Crossbreed/Hardcore/Breakcore)
Fast and heavy, R.S.S’s comfort zone is above 175 bpm. She is a DJ with no remorse, that will shake your bones with a relentless mix of glitchy, hard, dark beats and breaks. Originally from France but always on the run between Berlin, Amsterdam, Montreal and Bristol, no stage is safe.

ZIVA (techno/dnb/afrobeat, Berlin)
ZIVA is pure energy, playing vibrating sets for many years in the Berlin underground techno scene. For this night they will dive more into a mix of drum and bass and afrobeat. No matter which genre ZIVA touches, it will be a wild ride for sure!

Exhibition with Gil Kuno and panke.gallery sound night with Wiggle
The work of Gil Kuno is an intricate tapestry of sound art, installations, and video art. For this solo exhibition at panke.gallery, we aim to exhibit his earliest art creations – those created on the Internet in the 90s. 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the first of these creations, Unsound.
“Unsound.com” (1994) was a pioneering media experiment that fused sight and sound, allowing users to interactively engage with artists’ works in both visual and audio formats. Through crowd-sourcing, it facilitated artistic curation by audience votes – an innovation that even captured the admiration of Timothy Leary, who subsequently endorsed the site.
In 1996, Gil Kuno introduced Wiggle, the world’s first Internet band. This groundbreaking endeavour leveraged the Internet’s connectivity to forge musical collaborations across geographical boundaries, culminating in a band composed of members from Japan, Australia, and the United States. They achieved a major label deal and released multiple albums, all while some band members remained faceless due to the geographically dispersed nature.
