For the third edition of Real Scenes, RA and Bench go to one of the most special places for electronic music in the world: Berlin. When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, techno became the underground soundtrack to the reunion between East and West. In recent years, it’s become an international destination for ravers—a cheap place to party with clubs that are renowned throughout the world.
Techno has become a business in the meantime. Yet Berlin still maintains a credibility that other cities lack. To understand why, RA and Bench went to the German capital eager to find out about its unique history and the reasons behind its continued relevance.
Ich glaube ich habe vor kurzem schonmal was über Real Scenes gelesen. Jedenfalls tauchte in meiner – Achtung! – Google+ Timeline gerade die Folge über Berlin auf. Schönes Ding mit, in erster Linie, schönen Bildern, einigen Statements zum Buisness ‘Techno’ und einer überwältigenden Dominanz von irgendwas zwischen Deutsch und Englisch. Das ist ja was ich so liebe.
