Amnesia Scanner | 22:00 | Ballsaal
Amnesia Scanner transforms the Schloss Neugebaeude’s cavernous Ballsaal space into a distilled, high-intensity version of the present: a »new normal state« of multiplying exceptions and emergencies. AS Sirens > Securitaz is both a performative space itself as well as the backdrop for performances by amongst others Pan Daijing, Fauna, Forever Traxx, Oklou, Vincent De Belleval and PWR Studio.
Oklou | tba. | Ballsaal
The music of the French producer and singer Oklou is a contemporary mixture of modern R&B and volatile club tracks, which merge into a contemporary variant of a minimal, melodic synth-pop. In her ephemeral performances, Oklou creates subtle soundscapes with her laptop, synthesizer, and drum machines, on which she superimposes her own voice, modified by Auto-Tune.
NON Showcase | 22:00 - end | Westsaal
NON explicitly focuses on producers from Africa and those with direct African roots in their vision of placing a new perspective on a strongly restricted, Eurocentric view of electronic dance and experimental music. With Juliana Huxtable, Angel-Ho, Chino Amobi and many more!

Saturday - May 27
Princess Nokia | 01:45 | Ballsaal
Inspired by artists such as James Baldwin and Angela Davis, Princess Nokia’s identity as an Afro-Latina is an essential theme of her work. In addition to socio-political statements, her voice is a powerful sign in many respects: for a strong positioning of women in the male-dominated hip-hop and music scene, for a new image of women and free gender identities, for diverse body images, and simply for empowerment.
Visible Cloaks x Brenny Murphy | 02:00 | Stall
Visible Cloaks is the ambient sound project of the two musicians from Portland, USA – Ryan Carlile and Spencer D. The new album on RVNG Intl. was created together with the artist Brenna Murphy. In this collaboration, the sound universe of Visible Cloaks expands to a virtual 3D world, enriched by midi input data of the tracks. An augmented reality trip into liquid sounds, which can be experienced in this form in one of the first live shows on the new LP at Hyperreality.
