EDITORIAL BERLIN MUSIC WEEK
BERLIN MUSIC WEEK, 3.–7. SEPT. 2014
Dear guests,
Welcome to the 5th Berlin Music Week! We’re looking forward to sharing with you this
new and constantly evolving event, which has become an indispensable part of the Berlin
music scene.
We would like to thank you for wanting to be part of it and for taking an interest in our
work, which has been made possible by our fantastic team within Germany and abroad.
We can guarantee that you won’t just have a huge amount of fun, you’re sure to also take
away lasting impressions and inspiration for your future work.
In the true spirit of this city, we’ve taken the soundtrack of the movie “everything was
better in the old days” and tossed it in the bin. Instead, we set out to look for – forgive the
megalomania, it’s part of it all – the future of music. We found what we were looking for
in the hundreds of artists who applied for the Berlin Music Week. They will be hitting our
stages at the award shows, the showcase festival First We Take Berlin, and the Berlin Festival, as well as on trucks, rooftops or in the streets for the new First We Take the Streets.
We also found the future of music in another kind of band –the startup companies that
are bringing change and innovation to the music industry, opening up new possibilities.
After last year’s successful premiere, we will be presenting the Music Start Up Corner
2014 featuring the best international business ideas. The Music Hack Day is going to create the kind of momentum that can be found somewhere between ingenuity and secret
science. The new major players of the music industry will be part of it, as they share our
aspiration to “hack out” new ideas during the Berlin Music Week.
The future is also in the hands of the recorded industry, which has played a prominent
and increasingly international role during the Indie Days at the Berlin Music Week. Despite the financial challenges faced in the last few years, the industry remains a motor of
innovation, helping to encourage young artists, develop talent and create digital marketing channels. This is partly how our slogan “Music Released” came about – after all, music has been, and continues to be, released. Plus, music is breaking away from its physical
constraints, with all of the risks and opportunities that this process involves.
This 5th Berlin Music Week is actually going to be the last of its kind. The project is to
be handed over to the Musicboard Berlin for a new beginning. While it’s easy to start
feeling a sense of regret when it comes to difficult decisions like this one, it’s important
to remember that every end is a new beginning. We would like to wish the Berlin Music
Week all the very best for the future, and wish you, our guests, a terrific time in Berlin!

EDITOR I A L V U T IN DIE DAYS
VUT INDIE DAYS
The VUT INDIE DAYS have already established themselves as Germany´s essential event
for recorded music. For three days, Postbahnhof Berlin will become a meeting place for
the entire independent music industry offering great opportunities to connect with German and international independent companies. The VUT Indie Days are for the second
time part of Berlin Music Week and encompass a broad range of events: Committees and
plenums will be meeting internally under the heading PARLIAMENT on 3 September. The
panels and presentations as part of the WORD! conference will cover relevant topics and
current challenges for independents. Keynotes by internationally renowned speakers of
the independent music industry are also part of the program as well as interactive parts
like the matching sessions and workshops, which will bring together music companies.
Additionally, VUT members will be part of the PRODUCT MARKET of Berlin Music Week and
will present their products in the B2B section of Postbahnhof. The events are symbiotically linked with those of the other partners of Berlin Music Week; their planning was
closely coordinated and all activities on 4 and 5 September 2014 in Postbahnhof are open
without restrictions to all delegates.
Last but certainly not least: After the successful premiere of the VIA! VUT INDIE AWARDS last
year, VUT will once again celebrate independent artists and companies. On the evening
of 5 September, the VIA! VUT INDIE AWARDS will be awarded in six categories based on quality and not on sales figures. Last year Otto Normal (Best Newcomer), Modeselektor (Best
Experiment), DJ Koze (Best Album), City Slang (Best Label) and Kid Kopphausen (Best
Act) won an award. If you want to know this year´s winners, just come to the award show!

IN DIY STRUKTUREN PROFESSIONELL ARBEITEN
Akteure, die schon seit vielen Jahren in DIY Strukturen arbeiten, diskutieren aus verschiedenen Perspektiven (Booking, Veranstalten, Finanzieren, Label) ihre Erfahrungen.
Wie bringe ich selbst meine Platte heraus, mache meine eigenen Veranstaltungen, buche
meine eigene Tour – mit der Hilfe anderer Leute, aber selbstbestimmt und ohne mich von
großen Firmen und Akteuren abhängig zu machen? Wie kann ich selbstbestimmt arbeiten, ohne von den ganzen Aufgaben völlig überfordert zu sein? Wie funktioniert die Arbeit
in Netzwerken, wie hilft man sich gegenseitig? Wie funktionieren DIY Strukturen, und
was bedeutet das überhaupt? DIY muss nicht nur aus der Not heraus am Anfang einer
Karriere stehen, sondern kann auch eine nachhaltig funktionierende Entscheidung für
eine selbstbestimmte Arbeitsorganisation sein.
Im Anschluss stehen die PanelistInnen für Nachfragen und Einzelgespräche zur Verfügung. Zudem laden wir einige Digital-Plattformen ein, die Dienstleistungen für DIY
MusikerInnen und Leute, die mit ihnen zusammenarbeiten, anbieten.

Immer öfter werden unsere geliebten, kleinen, spontanen und kostenlosen Partys im Park

z.B. durch Runde Tische, Beratung und Weiterbildungsmodule, wie dem in Kooperation mit der IHK entstandenen »Veranstalterpass«, für den Erhalt von Free Open Airs
ein. In einem Workshop mit Veranstaltern werden die Erfahrungen der letzten Monate
ausgewertet und festgestellt, auf welche Art der Austausch mit der Polizei, Behörden und

welche weiteren Bedarfe bestehen.

the recent member survey undertaken amongst its over 600 members in 41 countries. He
will also talk about Merlin in general and illustrate the future developments in an everchanging market. Merlin clearly represents the most valuable basket of recorded music
rights outside of the three major labels, reflecting a share in excess of 10% of the global

DEFINING THE ULTIMATE HOME MUSIC EXPERIENCE BY SONOS
We live in a post-consumer electronics world. When you invest in a product, you are making a transaction towards an experience, not an object in itself. Music lovers are saturated
with choice, making finding new music a challenge. Meanwhile, artists must navigate an
increasingly complex media landscape to reach new audiences. How can we reduce the
barriers between music lovers and music; artists and their audience? How can we create
new and deeper connections to music through better products and services? How might
data influence the music industry and music listeners? What new types of user experiences do we need to create and facilitate better connections between artists and fans?
From the artist perspective, it would be interesting to explore questions as what do they
think people wants from music nowadays and the role of musicians in the community.
How is technology contributing to give artists creative freedom? Are artists today more
in control of their own music and distribution? How are new media and music services
re-shaping their relationships with fans?

WHEN TEENAGE MUSIC FANS ARE YOUR AUDIENCE
Many teenagers use different channels and media than adults to listen to music and participate in pop culture. How do music and media user statistics actually look like when
you single out the 11 – 19 year olds? And what specifics do music and video producers
take into consideration when creating for a very young target group? What kind of media
do they use, how do they address young people, what are their channels of interaction
with fans? What do they know about listening preferences, mainstream and subcultures,
tastes and attitudes of young people today? What kind of problems can arise and how
to deal with them? This panel discusses experiences of working with teenage audiences
– from the perspectives of political education, video shows, and music – and with the
outcomes of a recent study on music user behaviour among teenagers.

NORDIC PLAYLIST
The Nordic Playlist is a new way to discover the most exciting sounds in the Nordic region. Every week, a trusted artist or tastemaker compiles a 10-track playlist consisting
of two of their favourite tunes from each of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and
Sweden which users can then stream on Deezer, Spotify or WiMP. Users can also access
recommended new artists, the Nordic Top 10 chart, and last but by no means least, specially created DJ mixes from the region’s most prominent music makers. Editor Francine
Gorman will present the concept and functions of the Nordic Playlist, and then invite
participants to join a discussion about the use of curation on websites, the benefits of
such services for artists and best practices when it comes to promoting music through
streaming services.

GIVE LIFE BACK TO MUSIC
HIFI MUSIC STREAMING DRIVES PASSION FOR MUSIC AND INCREASES WILLINGNESS TO PAY
The huge amount of new music and the unlimited availability across all formats may
cause music to be devalued by its own existence. We will show you how heavily curated
quality music drives the passion for music and increases the willingness to pay. Let’s take
a look back to the golden age of record stores, and the position of the clerk behind the
desk. What was lost in the transition between physical and digital music, and what has
been achieved?
Inspired by last years track “Give Life Back To Music” by Daft Punk, Sveinung Rindal
from WiMP will divine the future of listening – not in the sense of background sounds or
the constant stream of music in shopping centers, but more in the traditional way of listening to high quality records through modern equipment. As the consumption of music
rises, it is interesting to see how HiFi music streaming differentiates from low-quality
superficial noise.

LEGAL UPDATE 2014 – URHEBERRECHT, QUO VADIS?
FRITZ 2
Ein immer kleinteiliger Flickenteppich an Urteilen muss seit Jahren zusammenhalten,
was die Digitalisierung vom guten, alten Urheberrecht übrig gelassen hat. Der Ruf
nach Reformen ist groß, nicht nur wenn es um das Urheberrecht geht. Nach Jahren
des Beobachtens aus der Deckung scheint der Gesetzgeber aufgewacht zu sein. Die Europäische Kommission hat 2014 eine Richtlinie erlassen und macht den Verwertungsgesellschaften neue Vorgaben. Demnächst wird ebenfalls von der Europäischen Kommission ein Weißbuch veröffentlicht, das den gesetzgeberischen Weg im Urheberrecht
vorzeichnen wird. Die Bundesregierung will sich konkret mit dem Haftungsrahmen der
Provider auseinandersetzen und ein Gesetz erarbeiten, das offene Rechtsfragen um die
WLAN-Haftung abschließend beantworten soll. Zuletzt hat der Europäische Gerichts­
hof eine Reihe wegweisender Urteile gesprochen und weitere Orientierung geliefert.
In einer spannenden Diskussion werden wir über die Auswirkungen aktueller Urteile
sowie kommender Gesetze diskutieren und versuchen, einen Ausblick auf deren mögliche
Auswirkungen für unabhängige Musikunternehmen zu geben.

MUSIKER_INNEN LOUNGE: VINYL COMEBACK
Vinyl liegt voll im Trend. Nachdem in 2012 erstmals wieder eine Million Schallplatten in
Deutschland abgesetzt wurden, steigerte sich die Anzahl in 2013 sogar auf 1,4 Millionen
Stück. Das markiert den höchsten Stand seit 1992. Immer mehr Künstler bringen ihre
neuen Songs auch auf Vinyl raus. Fans sehen in der Schallplatte nicht nur den Sammlerwert sondern verstehen sie als wertvolles Gesamtkunstwerk mit ihrem Cover und Artwork.
Im Gegensatz zu einer CD ist eine Vinylscheibe zudem haltbarer und sicherer, subjektiv
gesehen auch weicher und wärmer im Klang. Die Berlin Summer University of the Arts
greift diesen Trend auf und präsentiert im Rahmen ihres Seminars “DigiMediaL_musik:
The Business of Music in Germany” die Vertreter von drei renommierten Berliner Schallplattenherstellern, die ihre Dienstleistungen vorstellen und Fragen rund um das Thema
Vinyl beantworten.

IS CONTENT REALLY KING? –
DIGITAL CHALLENGES AND THE FIXATION ON NUMBERS
For labels and especially musicians the rise of Digital and Social Media has brought up
some great new chances for creating, sharing, distributing and selling their music. In
theory, a band from a small town in Bavaria could now grow a fanbase in Brazil. Sounds
easy, if there wasn’t this big “BUT”. Undoubtedly labels and musicians are facing both
new chances but also new challenges alike. Defining new ways of marketing, being creative, staying up-to-date about platforms – basically they need to wear more hats than
ever before. And over all this looms a fixation on numbers. In Social Media it’s common word
that content is king. So why are we so fixated on numbers like fans, followers and likes?

HOW TO BEST SUPPORT ARTISTS NOWADAYS? – ARTIST SUPPORT I
In the past years, pop culture has received increased attention by public culture funding bodies. Many musicians today search for funding opportunities (public and private
money) to finance their next album or tour, rather than relying entirely on the market.
In some cases, e.g. Zoolabs or RBMA, private money flows into training or publicity for
upcoming artists.
In this panel, we bring together three innovative thinkers on artist support to share their
visions and experiences on how best to go about helping musicians in the current economic and cultural settings. Is it about building and supporting infrastructures or providing equipment, do artists need training and mentoring, or should we establish musician residencies (as in the fine arts)? How do we allow for artists’ time to create great pop
music – low cost of living, increased entrepreneurial skills, a monthly stipend, or access
to networks of collaborators? And do different forms of support make sense at different
times in an artist’s career? How can future artist support programmes be structured, and
which gaps need to be addressed?

HACKING THE BUSINESS MODEL
THE MAKER MOVEMENT IN MUSIC – FROM HACKERSPACES TO MUSIC FAB LABS
Today the “makers“ exploring the intersections of traditionally separated domains and producing their own musical experience with other like minded people by using new technology and social media, which creates new knowledge repositories for everyone. This learningby-doing in a social environment as well as sharing and re-using of musical ideas happens
outside of the existing boundaries. If this will bring more joy and a bigger individual fulfillment then listening to ready-made music, why should we buy or sell music in the future?
This leads to a disruption of the music creation and selling business model. But making
music with anything and connecting creativity to all these new sensors should be open to
everybody. While MusicTechFest brings together the pioneers, an easy-to-use technology
platform should enable every creative person to use technology and tools, in the future

culture in all its diversity while adequately remunerating creators and their commercial
partners? One year after speakers first exchanged views on the panel ‘This new world
ain’t brave at all’ at the 2013 VUT Indie Days, this panel will take stock of where the online market for culture stands in Europe and where the opportunities and the challenges
lie for cultural and creative actors. This topic is very timely as the control of internet giants on the cultural and creative markets becomes ever tighter.
How can a real level playing field be achieved? Have online giants become so powerful
that they are out of regulators’ reach? Is the new world looking bright or rather gloomy?

erleichtert, indem es als Zwischensprache für die verschiedenen Formate dient. Wir zeigen, wie die MBO mit ihrem Vokabular für Songs, Künstler, Veröffentlichungen, Labels
uvm. eine flexible und erweiterbare Struktur zur Beschreibung, Veröffentlichung oder
Verlinkung von musikbezogenen Geschäftsdaten im Semantic Web schafft und dadurch
als Brücke zwischen den zahlreichen Schnittstellen in der Musikwirtschaft dienen kann.
Die MBO trägt dazu bei, manuelles Kopieren und Konvertieren von Daten, falsche Zuordnungen und Dubletten in Datenbanken zu vermeiden, alltägliche Arbeitsprozesse zu
vereinfachen und somit administrative Aufwände zu senken. Die MBO ist ein Ergebnis
von ART-e-FAKT, Forschungsprojekt der Berliner Musikfirma Piranha Arts AG, dem

MARKEN ALS MUSIK MÄZENE? (ARTIST SUPPORT LL)
Mitarbeiter eines Energy Drink Konzerns erzählen begeistert, dass sie endlich Geld in die

Publikation einer Telekom Firma veröffentlicht sorgfältig recherchierte Artikel, für die
in anderen Redaktionen vielleicht oft nicht die Zeit bleibt.
Dieses Panel hinterfragt die Finanzierung von KünstlerInnen und Popkultur durch
Marken. Geht subkulturelle künstlerische Produktion und die Assoziation mit einer
Marke überhaupt zusammen? Was bedeutet das – gesellschaftlich und kulturell – wenn
Marken zunehmend die Finanzierung von musikalischer und popkultureller Produktion
übernehmen? Und was bedeutet das wirtschaftlich für das finanzielle Auskommen vieler
prekär arbeitender Musikschaffender und für den Musikmarkt? Entstehen hier Widersprüche, wenn ja, wie sehen diese aus und sind sie auszuhalten oder zu ändern? Und wie
sieht das Selbstverständnis von Marken aus, die sich heute als Gestalter und Förderer
von Popkultur engagieren? Welche Rolle spielen diese privaten Investitionen heute und
zukünftig für den Musikmarkt?

THE 13 MOST INSIDIOUS, PERVASIVE LIES
OF THE MODERN MUSIC INDUSTRY
If you’re happy with the way the music industry turned out, then maybe you’re living
in a fantasy land. Because all of the wonderful possibilities we thought would happen
never quite materialized, and many of the myths we believe in are simply untrue. There’s
more music than ever before , and more musicians making that music, but the class of
power-players is just as small or smaller than it was in the past . And, from the perspective of the artist, the money is smaller as well, with survival a full-time pursuit for even
the ‘successful’ artists among us. But even the most powerful companies – like Spotify
– are struggling as well, and fighting for scraps against the most powerful behemoth of
them all, YouTube. So how did we get here, and why do we still believe in fairy tales and
unicorns? In this brutally honest keynote, Digital Music News publisher Paul Resnikoff
dismantles some of the most pernicious myths of the modern music industry, and discusses why we insist on believing them. Get ready for a refreshingly honest and highlyinteractive discussion.

CURSE OR BLESSING FOR THE AFRICAN MUSIC MARKET?
MUSIC VIDEO PRESENTATION #2 // Benjamin Lebrave 11:00 – 11:30 Uhr
The music videos in this presentation give an introduction to the topic of the impact of
digital tools on the music market in African countries, and provide examples for the discussion to follow. As an introduction to our discussion, this short selection of music videos
highlights how digital tools are reshaping the music business throughout Africa.
DISCUSSION
Digital technologies are facilitating music production and distribution. At the same time
only a minority of people in African countries have access to internet and digital media.
How does the ongoing digitalization change the African music market? Which role do
digital and social networks play in reaching local and global audiences? These questions
will be discussed by Yoel Kenan from the digital music platform Africori (South Africa),
Benjamin Lebrave from the label Akwaaba Music (Ghana), Georg Milz from Outhere
Records (Germany) and the music journalist Phiona Okumi from AfriPOP.

TWO DECADES OF MP3
DOES IT MATTER THAT A WHOLE GENERATION HASN‘T HEARD THE MUSIC LIKE IT WAS MADE?
Countless hours are spent at making music in recording studios all over the world. Artists
and producers invest their talent, soul and time in making the best product possible. A
whole generation ended up hearing only parts of that experience because we had to, in
the early days of Internet (when we spelled it with a capital I), shave away enough of the
music to fit it through the pipes. When you cut away enough music, at one point your
foot stops tapping. You want to get off the dance floor and your goosebumps disappear. Is
quality audio only for old men? With vinyl back on the agenda and full quality streaming – is audio quality and music listening back on the agenda for the MP3-generation?

FAST FORWARD – NORWEGIAN EXPERIENCES WITH
THE DIGITALIZATION OF THE MUSIC MARKET
In 2012, digital downloads and streaming services surpassed for the first time physical
revenues in the Norwegian music market. The usage of music streaming is widespread in
Norway, with about 65% of revenues in the recorded music industry being generated by
streaming. In other words, streaming is now the main way of music consumption for the
average Norwegian. At the same time, overall sales in recorded music have risen from
2012 to 2013 by 11%, mainly through the increase in streaming numbers. – source
What are the lessons learnt from the digitalization of the music market in Norway? What
were the key factors behind spread of digital music, and are those experiences transferrable to other countries? Are the monetization models any different than elsewhere? What
would Norwegian protagonists in digital music recommend for others, in other countries,
who are on their way, but not quite there? Is this a model of the future for others, or is this
case particular to Norwegian circumstances?

ARTIST SUBSCRIPTIONS:
THE FUTURE MUSIC BUSINESS MODEL WHICH IS ALREADY HERE
One of the most effective “direct to fan” business models has always been an “artist subscription” – a music act or a record label setting up a membership program for their most
loyal followers. A subscription platform allows fans to access exclusive content, reach out
directly to an artist, and gain a unique experience, all by paying a monthly fee. Today,
with new technologies, tools, and – even more importantly – fans used to subscribing to
online services, this concept is getting more practical and real than ever before.
It’s one of the most demanding and time-consuming, but also the most profitable ways
of a direct-to-fan monetisation. A recent Deadmau5 Live project is one of numerous examples of artists jumping on board.
You don’t have to have a fanbase of the Deadmau5 scale to build your own membership
program though, the concept is applicable not just to A-list celebrities. Any band or a
musician, even with a modest following, can try it out. On this panel, Andrew Apanov
will explain how to set up an Artist Subscription platform with little investments, and
how to make it successful.

GIVE LIFE BACK TO MUSIC
HIFI MUSIC STREAMING DRIVES PASSION FOR MUSIC AND INCREASES WILLINGNESS TO PAY
The huge amount of new music and the unlimited availability across all formats may
cause music to be devalued by its own existence. We will show you how heavily curated
quality music drives the passion for music and increases the willingness to pay. Let’s take
a look back to the golden age of record stores, and the position of the clerk behind the
desk. What was lost in the transition between physical and digital music, and what has
been achieved?
Inspired by last years track “Give Life Back To Music” by Daft Punk, Sveinung Rindal
from WiMP will divine the future of listening – not in the sense of background sounds or
the constant stream of music in shopping centers, but more in the traditional way of listening to high quality records through modern equipment. As the consumption of music
rises, it is interesting to see how HiFi music streaming differentiates from low-quality
superficial noise.

INDIE GOES HI-TECH:
THE END OF ANALOGUE WARMTH AND COSY NOSTALGIA
For decades and particularly since the millennium, indie music has been known for its
old-fashioned, friendly, low-tech aesthetic. But in recent years, there have been signs of a
paradigm shift commensurate with indie’s move online and the harsh realities of post-recession life. As the traditional indie aesthetic gets more and more tired, used to advertise
phones and gentrify cities, a new force is stirring underground – what I call ‘hi-tech.’ The
hi-tech aesthetic is composed of a number of loosely related styles, scenes and fashions,
from the dead-eyed corporate mood music of vaporwave through to the crazed cuteness of
the PC Music label, and several cold, alien new strains of electronica. It represents a new
generation of musicians and fans who are not content with traditionalism and are exploring the fragile line between futurist dystopias and futurist utopias.
Discussing and presenting examples of this new aesthetic, Adam will look at artists such
as Oneohtrix Point Never, Laurel Halo, James Ferraro, Arca and FKA Twigs as well as
dozens of emerging artists, together with the ways in which listeners navigate and participate in their new online world through Facebook, Soundcloud and Bandcamp.

THE VALUE OF ONLINE
At every music conference and in every music industry discussion, both within practice as well as in academia, it is commonly acknowledged that “the game has changed”.
Downloading, video and music streaming, social media and crowdfunding have opened
up new alleys to the music industry. What is lacking from most of these discussions is
how to measure the online presence and how to convert this presence into an economic
value. This is the focus of current research conducted by the Inholland University of Applied Sciences, in collaboration with BUMA Cultuur, the Dutch music export organization (also the organizer of events such as Eurosonic Noorderslag and Amsterdam Dance
Event). The aim of this study is to come up with a method to measure the value of online
for pop musicians. We will present recent findings from our study and would like to open
the discussion with the audience on this topic and their own experiences.

MOST WANTED: MUSIC
The Berlin Music Commission is again hosting the “Most Wanted: Music” in 2014, as part
of the word conference programme of the Berlin Music Week.
This year it’s about identifying and evaluating the potential for crossovers between music
and other parts of the creative industry.
The BMC will be presenting a range of first-rate speakers, including fashion designer
Kilian Kerner; photographer Olaf Heine; Dirk Reichardt from Barefoot Music, who is
responsible for selecting the entire music and song collection for German top producer Til
Schweiger’s film productions; plus, with the support of the Media Board Berlin-Brandenburg, Christoph Krachten from Mediakraft Networks, the leading online TV station
in Central Europe, which provides best practices examples, or so-called “Creative Case
Studies” and follows musical developments.
The hugely popular Music Supervisor Sessions will be taking place once again in cooperation with NARIP. This year it will be a “German Edition” featuring Milena Fessman
(Cinesong) and Gerrit Winterstein (White Horse Music/Jung von matt) – two stars of the
German sync business.
In addition, Berlin Music Week visitors will have a chance to ask the questions that have
been on the tip of their tongue in the so-called “Music Industry Circuit Training” sessions, 5 minute sessions featuring up to ten music industry experts from record labels,
publishers, and the fields of promotion, booking, copyright and so on. The whole thing
will be offered at two levels – basic level and CEO level.
On September 5, the Berlin Music Commission will be hosting their popular welcome and
showcase evening in FluxBau. Once again, the evening will feature selected artists from
the current edition of the much-esteemed “listen to berlin” compilation. Parasite Single,
Phia, DJ Ipek and a secret guest will be performing for Berlin Music Week guests and
delegates. The event is part of First We Take Berlin, the Berlin Music Week’s showcase
festival, and will be held in cooperation with FluxFM.

Despite its smallness, Switzerland is an important market for German and European artists. With its high number of festivals and concert venues, it will be interesting to discuss
how this small market works and how it survives – with a special focus on the question,
how European artists can profit from these special circumstances.

their strategy and give an inside view of their event. In a second panel called “Meet the
Zurich Club Scene”, a row of promoters will discuss the importance of the music scene for
Zurich and the interaction with their Berlin partners.
After the two panels, there will be live sets by the very unique artist “OY” and the band

THE FINALISTS
SPINNUP
Spinnup is an online digital music distribution service from Universal Music that
launched early 2013 in Sweden. It offers unsigned artists the opportunity to publish their
music worldwide.
CPULSE
The idea for cPulse, the worldwide first case with LEDs for Android 4.4 Smartphones,
came from France and combines music and light. Users are able to create “lighting
tracks” for their favorite songs or let the system create them by matching the light effects
automatically to the music – e.g. at the dance floor.
NAGUAL SOUNDS
Nagual Sounds from Berlin is developing Nagual Dance – a software which translates
body movement, captured by a 3D camera, into music – in real time. So every dance performance will become an interactive music experience.
REACTIFY
Reactify from London is a pioneer in music production and specialized in interactive music production and composing, e.g. with sound installations or apps. Reactify’s work is on
the bleeding edge of what is possible in the realm of music composition and distribution.
SOUNDYTICS
With the technique of Soundytics from Luxembourg users can choose the right music for
the current situation – e.g. driving, doing sports or the nightlife. These playlists cannot
only be filtered by genre but also by mood, tempo, subgenre, tonality or instruments.
FEELTHEBEAT
Feelthebeat was developed in Berlin and is a wearable metronome which vibrates to the
beat of the music. It can be connected to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. With
the feelthebeat app the metronome’s settings like beats per minute or the rhythm can be
adjusted.
ZOO LABS
At Zoo Labs artists and musicians are meeting entrepreneurs to learn from them – and
vice versa. The Music Tech Incubator in California offers the opportunity to record new
music, participate in workshops or develop long lasting business strategies together.

SPECIALS: MUSIC START UP CORNER
KLANG
The Berlin based company Klang is behind the interactive 3d in-ear audio technology for
headphones and wants to replace the stereo sound this way. This shall help for example
bands when they’re performing live on stage.
DISCO FINGERS
Disco Fingers is thought to help non-musicians in expressing themselves musically by
creating their own beats and publish them. The target groups of the Norwegian company
are young adults and children over eight years.
THREAKS
The Hamburg based startup Threaks is specialized in the development of non-linear music video games. The game Beatbuddy has its own soundtrack for every level and players
who master moving and attacking to the rhythm will have a distinct upper hand.

SPECIALS: FIRST WE TAKE THE STREETS
PREMIERE: FIRST WE TAKE THE STREETS
With the new and free festival format First We Take The Streets,
Berlin Music Week shows, on September 4 and 5, where the best, most
accidental, quirkiest and often most surprising concerts and artists
are to be found: namely, on the street. Participation is open to all
artists who can take on the challenge of the street and don’t shy away
from direct eye contact with the audience.
On September 4 and 5, between Berlin Music Week’s conference and festival centre, the
Postbahnhof, and East Side Gallery, everything will turn around musicians living in
Berlin, street musicians and sound artists. Between 3pm and 8pm, large mats will lay
ready on the streets to be used for concerts in lieu of traditional stages. All are welcome,
from beatboxers to singer-songwriters, including electronic loop artists. First We Take
The Streets is the new link between Berlin Music Week’s daytime programme, held at the
Postbahnhof, where the local and international music industry meets, and First We Take
Berlin, the evening club festival at which the hottest newcomers give it their all at just 20
clubs from around the Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg districts.
WELCOME TO THE O2 WORLD SPREE BAR
The o2 World Spree Bar is the pivotal point of the new festival. The main stage of First
We Take The Streets is situated here and, along with good music, it offers late-summer
refreshment for music fans, music professionals and tourists. Visitors to the o2 World
Spree Bar can, moreover, enjoy a free Solarboat-Shuttle to Fluxbau, which is located
directly opposite on the other side of the Spree, and where a few musical highlights await.
HELLO, MIGHTY OAKS
As curators for the main stage of First We Take The Streets, the Mighty Oaks, who started out as street musicians in the capital and are now being talked about internationally,
are local heroes and a real coup for the festival. You can be sure that this collaboration
with the Mighty Oaks will build some musical bridges over to the excellent evening programme of First We Take Berlin. A few surprises may also be reckoned with!
Under the auspices of the fifth Berlin Music Week, this new and free-of-charge festival
format celebrates its premiere. The event was conceived and brought to life by Kulturprojekte Berlin, as producer of Berlin Music Week, in cooperation with o2 World, sponsors of
the showcase festival First We Take Berlin, along with Flux FM, with the aim of providing a unique platform for new, aspiring musicians and artists.

NEW MUSIC AWARD 2014
Fresh Sounds from all over Germany: This year too, the New Music Award,
a prize for the best young German musician(s), will be the illustrious conclusion to Berlin Music Week. A jury will choose a successor to Munich
band Exclusive, who triumphed last year. Nine exciting acts, selected in recent weeks
by ARD’s youth radio broadcasters, are in the running. The artists chosen will compete
against each other in a big finale. On the 7th of September they’ll get a chance to win over
an audience and the jury with their performance, playing live in Berlin‘s Admiralspalast.
FROM INDIE-POP TO ELECTRO-RAP, FROM AUGSBURG TO JEVER: WE’VE GOT IT ALL!
Ranging from acoustic blues-rock and funky indie-pop through to electro-rap, the many
facets of Germany‘s current music landscape will be showcased on a single day, with
musicians coming from places as far apart as Augsburg and Jever. ANNENMAYKANTEREIT is
a band of former buskers characterised by profound texts and a melancholy sound. TOM
THALER & BASIL and DREHMOMENT represent a very different genre, namely hip-hop, each of
them in a very different way. ERRDEKA, who impressed everyone at the First We Take Berlin festival last year, also has a style rooted in rap. Singer LARY will present her “Future
German Wave” sound in the battle for the award, and also on show will be indie-pop to
dance to by THIS VOID, PEWPEW with their shrill synth-sound, pensive pop from HEINRICH
and indie-disco-rap from FAAKMARWIN.
AS WELL AS THE AWARD, WINNERS WILL RECEIVE A VOUCHER WORTH 10,000 EUROS
A jury made up of representatives from the participating broadcasters and music industry experts will decide who gets to take the award home in the finale. As well as a brilliant
award, the winner(s) will be given a voucher to buy music equipment worth 10,000 Euros.
WANTED – A SUCCESSOR TO BONAPARTE, KRAFTKLUB & EXCLUSIVE
The New Music Award is one of Germany’s most important prizes for young musicians
and bands and is a co-production involving all ARD‘s youth radio broadcasters. It seeks
to discover aspiring artists and promote them nationally. The participating broadcasters
are Bremen Vier (Radio Bremen), DASDING (SWR), 1LIVE (WDR), Fritz (rbb), MDR
SPUTNIK, N-JOY (NDR), PULS (BR), 103.7 UnserDing (SR) and YOU FM (hr). This
award is a groundbreaking stepping stone for newcomers to the music world, offering
artists access to a large audience through the support provided by the nine ARD youth
radio broadcasters and the inclusion of the competition in Berlin Music Week. New Music
Award winners in previous years have included Bonaparte from Berlin, Kraftklub from
Chemnitz and OK Kid (formerly Jona:S) from Gießen.
In 2014 the New Music Award will again be sponsored by the Initiative Musik gemeinnützige Projektgesellschaft mbH with project funding provided by the Federal Government
Commissioner for Culture and Media, Professor Monika Grütters, based on a resolution
passed by the German parliament (Bundestag).
