There will also be DJ sets from Detroit house luminary Marcellus Pittman, esteemed digger Tone B. Nimble and Berlin disco heads Sanctuary.

On Saturday 5th September, JAW move to Festsaal Kreuzberg for a concert with the legendary Meshell Ndegeocello, a Berlin-born, US-based singer-songwriter, rapper and bass player known as on of the most influential artists of the neo-soul genre.

The program continues with Tigran Hamasyan Trio on October 20 at Heimathafen Neukölln. The trio, which consists of piano, drums and bass, is the project of Armenian pianist and composer Tigran Hamasyan.
