D/B Presents: DĂ©bruit, Sensational, Koyxen & Dj Scotch Bonnet @ Festsaal Kreuzberg Berlin | Tuesday, 15.05.2012
Parisian Synth Magician dÉbruit´s style is a no holds barred sonic assault filtered through dark Congolese sound systems, Downtown L.A. block parties gone wrong, haze filled Kingston recording studios and freaky Tunisian backstreet souks all powered by a fat hip hop engine. Clark, DE:Bug, Dazed and many more tagged him as one to watch in [...]

D/B presents: Shigeto LIVE @ Kantine Berghain Berlin | Tuesday, 24.04.2012

D/B Presents: Message To Bears @ Monarch Berlin | Thursday, 19.04.2012
Jerome Alexander, the multi-instrumentalist behind MTB, combines layers of rustic strings, crisp acoustic guitar and a warm, almost wordless vocal melody – a sound which builds throughout each song and across the whole album. The resolution of each crescendo – after the communal, folksy accumulation of voices, strings and other instruments – is either triumphant, [...]

D/B Presents: REGGIE WATTS LIVE @ Festsaal Kreuzberg Berlin | Sunday, 29.01.2012
Imagine you come to a show and realize midway through that you’re having a really strong trip. Reggie Watts’ intellectually stimulating hilariously clever improvised comedy beatbox performance does exactly this to the audiences. In his stream-of-consciousness monologues combined with beautifully mastered beatbox interludes, Reggie shifts seamlessly between different personas, musical styles, accents, voices, and even [...]
