Music | Interview
Broken glass. Strobe scars. Bass shaking the bones of an abandoned forest. FJAAK came up on raw instinct—hacked gear, illegal raves, no sleep, no plan B. Before the bookings, before the Boiler Rooms, it was just a basement in Spandau and the thrill of noise with nowhere to go but louder. Now they’re closing Berghain for 11 hours, running a label that’s more like a syndicate, and still building everything by hand. This isn’t a nostalgia act. It’s muscle memory. It’s resistance through rhythm. Spandau20, the Berlin-based collective label rooted in underground rave culture, celebrates its 10th VA with 10 tracks from its co-founders—each one a reflection of the label’s raw, percussive, hardware-driven ethos. To mark the occasion, we sat down with FJAAK for a a deep dive.

Threshold of Discomfort / Fujimine’s Rituals of Violence

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.
