Nachtschatten :: Dubstep, Drum'n'Bass & Urban Sounds

Nachtschatten (wich is a genus name of plants like belladonna, jimson weed and other interesting crops) is a non-frequent event series of Dubstep, Drum'n'Bass & Urban music. We have chosen the term Urban to indicate that sound might also be influenced by Techno, Breakbeats, Punk, Hardcore and other musical ideas which came out of the urban enviroment.

Amongst several other we had presented artists like Pisu [Musica Vermella / Barcelona], Kid Atari [Stealth Departement], Prince Kong [Ghetto Quietly / Dublin], Ignite [Trust In Music], Jazzsteppa [Jarring Effects / London, Berlin], Janoshi [Schattenelektronik], Trece [Badmood / Interzone], DubRokk [Bass.exe], Al-Haca Soundsystem [Meta Polyp], Flowpro [Plainaudio], Detrend City Rockers [Malavida Music] and more.

The event series is following a small series of events called "Interzone" (as a reference to the experiments of W.S. Burroughs) where we presented Dubstep & Drum'n'Bass only.

Netaudio Berlin

The first Berlin based festival in 2007 featured nearly 60 Netaudio artists and 25 labels from seven countries. In addition it included different Visual Artists, performances and an audiovisual exhibition. Also a day programme was formed that gave a platform to open discussions not only regarding Creative Commons ideas but also free offers of high quality music productions not only as downloads...but in real life!

With over 100 participating artists spread over 3 nights, the 2nd Netaudio Festival Berlin in 2009 gave a comprehensive insight into the various musical genres, concentrating on a selection of Berlin’ finest electronic music, namely, House, Techno and Minimal. However, many artists from the fields of Ambient, Noise, Dub, Drum’n’Bass, Pop, Triphop, Dubstep, Breakbeats, Drone, Hip Hop and Techdub were added to the varied musical program. The musical programme was crowned by such illustrious figures as Pheek, D. Diggler, Erich Lesovsky, Marc Schneider, Goldwill, Tanith, Stereoshape, SCSI-9, Disrupt, Holger Flinsch, Marko Fürstenberg, and the Kraftfuttermischwerk. The day program included numerous workshops and discussions with top experts as well as a film program, showcases, netaudio fair, and various contributions from other art forms.
