EASTERNDAZE × BERLIN FESTIVAL SHOWCASES COLLECTIVES FROM EASTERN EUROPE 
+ BERLIN


SECOND EDITION FROM NOV 28 - DEC 1 2018 AT VARIOUS VENUES


Beyond folklore clichés and Cold War discourse, below the radar of the 
tastemaking music

press, DIY, alternative, independent music scenes are thriving in 
Central and Eastern Europe.

Since 2010, Easterndaze has explored and mapped local DIY scenes 
operating in a digital realm,

introducing the creative personalities and collectives behind them to 
provide context.

The concert & film screening series Easterndaze × Berlin: DIY Music 
Topographies follows up on

the first edition in 2016, by presenting music collectives from Eastern 
Europe, pairing each of

them with groups from Berlin’s diverse DIY scenes in the name of 
collective spirit and communal

effort.


The concert series takes place at several important Berlin arts and 
music venues. The festival

exemplifes a decentralized curatorial model—the lineup of individual 
each event is curated by

the collectives themselves.


Audiovisual sister duo WIDT (Antonina Nowacka and Bogumila Piotrowska) 
from Warsaw and

legendary Berlin-based producer Christoph de Babalon rejoin forces after 
their commissioned

work for the 2016 edition of the festival, presenting their new, mutual 
album and project TEYAS.

The labels T+U (Budapest), EXILES (Budapest) and Total Black (Berlin) 
will release a joint

cassette compilation on the occasion of the festival, entitled 
“Easterndaze x Berlin: Total Black x

EXILES & T+U” reflecting the aesthetics and philosophies of their 
individual platforms. The

accompanying flm program will be presented at Soundwatch Music Film 
Festival Berlin

(soundwatch.de) Nov 7 - 16 at Lichtblick-Kino.

Easterndaze × Berlin is funded by Musicboard Berlin.
