Stunning A/V shows from this year’s edition of the Berlin festival.
Last week, Berlin Atonal returned for another five days of techno, ambient, drone and experimental music at the city’s Kraftwerk venue, a colossal former power station close to the banks of the River Spree in Mitte.
This year’s edition featured world premieres of A/V shows from Nkisi, Marshstepper, Shapednoise, Roly Porter as well as performances from Objekt, Lee Gamble, Samuel Kerridge & Taylor Burch, rRoxymore, Alessandro Cortini and many more.
FACT’s Pedro Kuster was there to capture some of the festival’s many highlights – watch those below, and check out FACT x Atonal’s exclusive live session from rRoxymore here with more to come later this week.

View this post on Instagram
This week, Berlin Atonal is back in the German capital for another five days of techno, ambient and experimental music from the city’s Kraftwerk venue, an imposing former power station that also houses the legendary Tresor club. FACT and Atonal have teamed up for another series of exclusive live sessions in Kraftwerk’s Laterne, a rarely used attic space that’s remained largely untouched since the building was constructed in the 1960s. First up is Room 4 Resistance resident rRoxymore, who gave us a preview of her debut live set, 'Face to Phase', ahead of its premiere on Sunday, September 1.
