Atonal 2025 / The place is the space
Music | Spotlight
Berlin Atonal closed its latest edition just weeks ago, leaving behind more than a festival of electronic music and experimental art. Returning from the city, clarity emerged: this year was a meditation on Berlin itself—its history, its architecture, its ghosts. More than performances or installations, Atonal revealed how a space becomes alive, how risk defines art, and how presence transforms encounter.

Pyramid Ibiza / Clubbing Returns To Instinct
Private | Spotlight
As Ibiza spins into spectacle, filters, and pre-choreographed chaos, Amnesia remains defiantly raw, primal and soulfully intact. In a season where other clubs chase content, Amnesia offers something infinitely rarer: communion. The freedom to move, feel, disappear. And at the heart of this rebellion beats Pyramid, Amnesia’s flagship underground Sunday, a weekly ritual for those who know. It doesn’t shout for attention. It calls to your instincts.

Art&Culture | Interview
A dynamic and multilayered dialogue with the artist and curator unfolds around the new site-specific installation commissioned by Chanel, on view until October 26. The work reshapes the cold, industrial immensity of the Hamburger Bahnhof’s historic hall into a terrain at once tactile and intimate.

Design becomes presence—beyond objects, it lives and breathes with us.

Into a Blind Emptiness / She Past Away
Music | Interview

Synthesizer is Rebellion / Lebanon Hanover
Music | Interview
In a time where identity is often packaged, flattened, and made palatable for algorithmic feeds, François X resists easy definition. Born between Corsica and Benin, shaped by sounds that stretch from the vinyl stacks of Fania Records to the raw pulse of Parisian club nights, his music is neither fusion nor collage. It’s something more elemental, a process of remembering, returning, resisting.
Dare To Be You / Alex Nantaya

Music | Spotlight
Berlin Atonal returns to Kraftwerk Berlin, Tresor, and OHM this August 2025 with a five-day program that transforms the city’s industrial core into an experimental laboratory for sound, image, and collective experience. This year marks the festival’s debut as part of the International Biennial Association, anchoring its position as a global platform for sonic and interdisciplinary avant-garde. It’s a return, but also a reinvention, driven by the same radical spirit that first pulsed through these concrete chambers in the early ’80s.
