@superbooth_berlin has taken over Berlin again this week-end. Three days where the
@fez.berlin turns into a maze of modular systems, improvised performances, strange sonic experiments and conversations that somehow continue from afternoon into sunrise.
And this year feels especially significant. Superbooth is celebrating its ten year anniversary as an independent festival and trade fair for electronic musical instruments, something that feels almost unreal considering how much it has grown over the past decade. What once started as a relatively niche gathering has become the world’s largest event of its kind, bringing together more than 8800 visitors and over 300 exhibitors from 31 countries this year alone.
This year again with artists and musicians like
@_polygonia_ ,
@gutgudrun ,
@panic.girl.666 and many more alongside countless designers, modular builders and experimental performers shaping where electronic music culture is moving next.
You find everything there. Rare Buchla systems, Eurorack experiments, tape machines, custom sequencers, new drum machines and rooms full of people discussing sound for hours while music drifts through the forest surrounding the FEZ. From giants like
@weareelektron ,
@korg_berlin ,
@rolandglobal ,
@ableton and
@bitwig to tiny DIY builders showing prototypes and instruments nobody has seen before.
It is one of the few places where technology still feels deeply human. Curious, obsessive, playful and completely driven by people searching for new ways to communicate through sound.
And it made us think back to this
@triptease.live performance from last year.
“Textures drifted between ambient expanses, broken rhythms and hypnotic repetitions that never settled long enough to become predictable.”
That feeling of constantly moving without ever arriving somewhere fixed somehow captures the spirit of Superbooth perfectly.
Definitely worth revisiting the performance from last year and, of course, getting lost in
@superbooth_berlin itself while Berlin is still vibrating with it.
