Klangbrücken - Generation Sound

Refuge Worldwide is excited to announce Klangbrücken – Generation Sound, a new project exploring Berlin's music and creative industries through the perspectives of different generations.

Rooted in the city's rich club culture, the project brings together established pioneers and emerging voices for a programme built around intergenerational exchange through music, conversation and joint creativity. Over the course of the project, we are producing five 2-hour radio shows covering topics including music journalism, curation, the dub scene, house music, and booking and promotion, alongside three studio collaborations between artists from different generations. Our goal is to strengthen diversity in Berlin's cultural scene by making different perspectives and creative approaches visible, audible and tangible.

Outside of the booth, three artist pairings will be producing a 3-track EP to be released in August on our in-house label, including Nick Höppner & Thies Grüning; Monty Luke & Giorgia Bird; and Born In Flamez & b1unt b1ade.

Listen in to the first live episode between Richard Akingbehin & Paul St. Hilaire (aka Tikiman) in conversation about the dub music scene in Berlin, followed by a B2B on June 1st, 12:00 - 14:00. Tune in each Monday in June to hear from Michael Leuffen & Christina Plett; Melissa Taylor & Agnese Ghinassi; Eyal Vexler & Aimée Dabaddie; and Robert Owens & Natalie Robinson.

Join us also on Friday, June 5th, for an evening of conversation, music, and community exploring parenthood within the music industry. RSVP here.
