The Brvtalist is proud to be collaborating once again with Krake Festival for their 10th anniversary celebration. One of the most important festivals in Berlin, this year obviously presents unprecedented challenges, but that has not stopped the team from creating a unique and innovative festival. Running from December 11-13, we find a diverse array of programming crossing genre boundaries, times zones and media.
On Day 1, they will present 4 shows, amongst which will be an augmented fantasy live performance and a very special combination of a cooking show and b2b2b DJ set.
Day 2 translates a multi-room festival situation into modern times with almost 10 streams happening at the same time. Showcasing different crews from out of Berlin and the rest of the world, it will feature FOLD London, The Crave from The Hague, Mechatronica, Ismus, Universe of Tang and more. The content will be streamed all night long on the Krake website, which allows the visitor to switch between the streams just like you could go and check out different floors and musical & audiovisual concepts at our real-life festival. Line ups include some burners. More info to follow!
Day 3 is all about decompression. The ambient sleep concert is happening all night long, too! With a focus on relaxing and spacious music which you can enjoy alone or with friends chilling and dreaming away on your own couch or in your bed - maybe the most appropriate format for electronic music in these crazy times.
Krake TV:
To expand the streaming format for festivals, the festival has developed Krake TV, a music TV concept with different shows presenting music videos, artist features, comedy in cooperation with backstage - Das DJ Magazin, a drag techno workout and the traditional Krake raffle. There will be 1 hour of Krake TV on all three days.
Person Man Woman Camera TV show:
The call-in Talk show with Dieter Polen and DJ Elliver will discuss the most important and ridiculous issues of our times with their audience.
V.A. music compilation:
To round it off, they are releasing music of some of the key artists who played in the past 10 years. It would have been too much to ask all of them, but we did ask some if they wanted to contribute to a jubilee compilation and now we are happy and proud to be able to present a V.A. compilation with over 70 tracks! The compilation will be released digitally only and sold for a very, very low price. All buyers will automatically take part in our charity raffle/tombola.
Charity raffle/tombola:
The annual label fair won’t happen for obvious reasons - but they are making sure that the raffle will happen once again! Numerous labels have given us huge packages - partly their whole catalogue - and companies such as Irie Daily, Native Instruments, Ableton and Elektron have contributed to the amazing prizes which will be offered. All profits of the ticket sales will be donated to the inclusive project Ick Mach Welle and Seawatch.
All this happening in the World Wide Web!
