One stage, three evenings, six acts – a mixtape of Berlin’s underground. On each two-part evening, talent from different music scenes come together. HAU’s new concert series kicks off with “bad advice from good people”: Clear History’s post-punk meets Güner Künier’s “Excellent Choices”, clashing indie-lo-fi atmospheres with industrial force and detatched wave sounds. Halfsilks’ synth, bass, and percussion-driven pop songs swing from outdated technology to white horses to female role models, while trio Brass Riot’s blend of acid jazz and no-wave works just as well at Fridays for Future demos as it does in the club. With their harmonic vocals, Rahel Hutter and Zooey Agro improvise their way through the boundaries of genre through hypnotic electronics, organ, and guitar, and the elegiac pop songs of Lukas Lonski and Felix Classen don’t hold back with their love of experimentation, also serving a strong dose of self-irony, despite their clever dramaturgy.
