This week we are happy to have Radio Masive gang back to Panke! The old school junglists among you may remember the name from the mid-90’s, where “Radio Massive” became Germany’s first regular FM broadcast featuring the new sounds of the UK. 25 years later, the original jungle sound is still alive and kickin’!
DJ Bassdee (Radio Massive, Hard:edged)
https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/bassdee
Bassdee’s musical journey dates back to the late 80’s, where he witnessed firsthand the transformation of Berlin’s industrial and techno scene. He was heavily influenced by the then newly-established HardWax store – who were among the first to begin importing the sounds of Detroit, Chicago & New York, thus playing a vital role in establishing the dark, futuristic sound which became notorious in Berlin at the dawn of the 90’s.
As the sound continued to evolve – with the UK jungle mania reaching Germany in the early 90’s – Radio Massive was born! From 1994-1998 the show was broadcast every Monday on kiss.fm, featuring renowned guests from the UK, as well as nurturing and promoting fresh talent from Berlin and around Germany. As a founding member of the Hard:edged nights, Bassdee was constantly at the forefront of the Berliner jungle scene, and can be described as a true veteran!

Joy & Turbulence with Nyege Nyege
Nyege Nyege returns to its much beloved Berlin home, a night at Panke to celebrate 10 years of joy and turbulence on the dancefloor with a very special line up of Nyege extended family.
The event takes place on the 11th of April starting at 22:00:00.
Nyege Nyege returns to its much beloved Berlin home, a night at Panke to celebrate 10 years of joy and turbulence on the dancefloor with a very special line up of Nyege extended family, including a rare showcase of Togolese rapper Yao Bobby performing alongside swiss producer Simon Grab, Hakuna Kulala affiliate and Nyege bestie Ziúr, NY spiral wizzard and Nyege favorite Quest?onmarq, and killer singeli duo Sisso and Maiko bringing their live act back to Berlin since they last tore up their iconic Boiler Room performance. This one is a family affair!
Lineup:
Sisso and Maiko
Quest?onmarq
Yao Bobby
Simon Grab
Ziúr
The Togolese Rapper and political activist Yao Bobby collaborates with Swiss noisemaker Simon Grab. An intense sound battle between energetic rhymes fired into a dark sound world of raw electronic bass pulsations with a dubby punk attitude, produced on analog feedback electronics. A very raw and improvised form of live experimental hip hop – ‚Freeform Rap and Noise’.
In their unique soundworld, each bring a totally singular style & attitude to create a kind of next generation free form rap, noise & synthetic rhythm concoction coaxed out of improvisedfeedback signals and dynamic microphone control. Yao’s lyrics (in his mother tongue Ewé, french and also partly in english) deal with the current injustices in Africa and the problems ofthe colonial aftermath of the west & its remaining grip on the continent. Whether you are ableto understand each lyric or not, the unstoppable flow, the versatile dynamic range, and the emotions in the frequencies (both voice and electronics) convey life-force & a sense of resistance. A raw, honest attitude and forward momentum that is unmistakeable in its intent to crush borders sonically, socially, and politically.
