CTM Festival 2024 - Sustain

Appearing as the duo Soulsick, Elvin Brandhi and DJ Scotch Egg will join forces in a fierce flurry of improvised vocals and hardcore. Brandhi never shies from being abrasive, letting a stream of consciousness take over to the tune of frenetic, computerized beats intent on scorching your speakers. Berlin-based Japanese screwball producer Shigeru Ishihara aka Dj Scotch Egg (WaqWaq Kingdom, Scotch Rolex) has been active for over two decades ever since rising to breakcore (and Gameboy gabber) fame after co-founding Brighton’s Wrong Music with Shitmat, Roger Species, and others.

A UK underground fixture and leading innovator in fresh genres spanning the hardtek scene, Mandidextrous will bring a diverse combination of high energy 4x4 dnb, speedbass, jungletek keeping true to their 4x4 175bpm style. High energy from start to finish.

The sounds of Lobster Theremin and Never Sleep affiliate Infinity Division move through the world of dance music with blistering speed, fusing elements of industrial and electro, with a penchant for melancholic trance-infused melody, through a distinctly punk lens.

Under his Special Request alias, UK techno & house linchpin Paul Woolford takes as his inspiration the unruly conventions of UK pirate radio stations, capturing the raw energy of illegal airwaves via murky house, darkside techno, and eye-of-the-storm hardcore/jungle tear-outs.

Closing out the sonic mayhem of four straight days of Berghain, will be former Hercules and Love Affair collaborator Kim Ann Foxman, whose classic takes on dance music synthesise the best elements of raw house, propulsive 303 material, emotive techno, and the occasional hint of trance into an irresistibly ravey experience.

Mars Morningstar (an alias of Quest?onmarc) transmutates stillness from chaos, levitating through selections from the realms of post punk, grindcore, blackened experimental, hair raising ambient, liminal drone, sludge soaked soundscapes and beyond.
